I havent tried Abyss the only Tales of series game i tried is Heart, Innocence and Tempest those 3 contain some heart breaker too but i like the story and enjoyed playing the game ^.^ . I have tried all 3 of starforce. I love to see the character development of Geo Stellar from a boy who like to shut himself up due to his dad missing, constantly running away from problem or fear of getting upset to a boy who is brave and care about his friend
