Tales of the Abyss/Nightmare Fuel

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Normally, Guy Cecil's gynophobia is funny. Then you find out what caused this fear. When he was a child, Duke Fabre attempted to commit genocide against his family. His older sister and the maids of the house sacrificed themselves to protect him. He wound up buried under their bodies for days on end.
    • The death of the little boy after the destruction of Akzeriuth. Neither the player nor the party can save him.
    • The pivotal point of Jade's backstory: his experiments with fonic artes as a child caused an accident that left his mentor on the verge of death. He tried to use fomicry, a technology he created himself, to bring her back to life as a "clone". She came back...but as a murderous, bloodthirsty monster. Since replicas are always born as blank slates, she has no recollection of her previous life except looking exactly like the deceased.
    • Grand Maestro Mohs is turned into a freakish monster because of inability to control Seventh Fonons, causing sanity degeneration. Upon defeating him, he melts into goo and disintegrates.
