Tales of the Abyss 3ds first impression

Ok guys, here in Japan Tales of the Abyss 3DS has just come out. 

So, I haven't had much play time with it, as I do actually have a life (blasphemy!!)

So, as you can see in the picture, the Japanese version comes with a drama CD, which I have just finished listening to.

Well... it's a drama CD.  Not much extra story or character development.  Not bad, but not awesome.

This is a remake of the Ps2 title of the same name, which I haven't played.  So, for me this is practically a new game.

Now, I haven't played enough of the game to give it a good review, but I can tell you this: It looks very nice.  The graphics are great, and the 3D is much like Avatar's 3D.  It makes the room go around you, or like you are watching all the events through a window. 

Music is great, voice acting is good.  So far, I have no complaints at all.  So, we'll just have to see how it turns out in the coming days as I get further into it.
