Just a fair warning. I've heard from MANY people that the main protagonist in Abyss is borderline unbearable in the beginning, and thus gives him MUCH more room to grow into someone worthwhile throughout the game. Which is a main reason why most of the people I know love the game, because it's like the pinnacle of character development. I haven't tried it myself, but figured you should be warned that he MAY grate on your nerves in the beginning. Though I think you have a high tolerance. Regardless however, it seems he gets better and the wait would be worth it either way

Just saying, because I think going in blindly to something like that would totally turn me off. I've quite on quite a few games due to unlikable characters being too early and too prevalent in a game
