Random thing I wanted to say really quick: Awesome avatar, btw. Tales of the Abyss is probably one of all-time favorite PS2 RPG's, and definitely my favorite Action-style RPG for the system, while Jade was my favorite character in the game. His combination of snark and power to back it up was always enjoyable.

I even just about finished the item book for that game, still need to go back sometime and get the dozen or so shop-only items I missed.
