“Be confused, it’s where you begin to learn new things. Be broken, it’s where you begin to heal. Be frustrated, it’s where you start to make more authentic decisions. Be sad, because if we are brave enough we can hear our heart’s wisdom through it. Be whatever you are right now. No more hiding. You are worthy, always.”

Big fan of Jalter's gloomy and menacing appearance as opposed to when she's smug
Tales of the Abyss has a lot of smaller details throughout the game. All over the world has fonic writing, and it does have meaning. Spoilers ahead!
There are signs:
Even the map and logo has fonic:
Funny thing about the logo is that East and West are switched despite dialog and the in-game compass matching our own world's. It also displays numbers one through ten, going counterclockwise. There is not an x in the language so six is "si." Pretty neat!
The fonstone has fonic as well (spoilers):
In Mt Zaleho, the fonstone that Ion reads has fonic writing on it. When translated, it is a repeating phrase of "but out of sight." The top most point was more difficult until I realized it was just upside down. This is funny in a meta way because the player doesn't have the ability to read the score, so the true meaning of the words is "out of sight." Kudos devs. Though it is understandable, I also wouldn't want to write that whole score on that stone. It was a lot of text!
Nam Cobanda has a lot of fonic examples along with the plentiful other references:
It is not the first time Abyss referenced Tales of Eternia (Destiny 2). Many of Anise' Dolls are references to the game, plus cameos can be seen in the Coliseum.
Dragon Buster has fonic copyright notices. The cowboy booth is labeled the cyclone/hurricane (most likely tornado because of common tornado picking up cows imagery). Finally, for now, there's boxes on the shelves with letters. Not sure what they would mean, but they're there!
Props to the game developers for putting so much work into this game. It is very fun to try to find and translate the little details! These were only a few examples I have found, but hopefully, it is interesting to others as well!
I love her emotions sm
I'm built different. like incorrectly i think
Found this gem in the comments.
girls i don't know how many "ill figure it out"s ive got left
(me, insane since the day i was born) sorry haha this has just been an off day for me
absolutely fascinated by this raw pixels on an emulator vs how the game was actually supposed to look on old tvs twitter
People say that old games dont look as good as they remember
Its because they legitimately dont.
The “fuzz” from CRT monitors was something that was definitely accounted for and taken advantage of back in the day when it came to video games! While this effect is noticeable in 3D games, it’s MUCH more visible when it comes to 2D sprites:
Just look how much more depth these simple sprites of Princess Peach and Bowser from Super Mario RPG seem to have when seen through the “dots” of a CRT TV screen!
I somehow did not know this!?!?!?
One of the clearest examples of this is using the effect for transparent waterfalls in the MegaDrive Sonic games
My absolutely favourite example of this is with Dracula's eyes in Castlevania
