Radiata Stories or Tales of the Abyss?

am looking for a good action rpg (just beat shin megami tensei: nocturne), so am looking for a change of pace. Ive always wanted to get one of these two titles, and now would be the opportunity to do so, but since i can get only one, the desicion is a bit tough...

Basically whicih game has the best battle system and story,, and is overall more emjoyable? I want one that is paced very well, since i usually fall asleep when playing some rpgs with very large, dull moments.

So whicih would be your pick?

If you want a funny and amusing game, get Radiata._gorgon_

I'm going to have to say Radiata is a lot funnier.  It has a certain sense of humor that I don't think I've seen in a game, I mean it's actually funny.

Both games are great though.  I'll give the nudge to Tales for it's battle system -not that Radiata's battle system is bad, it's just not as customizable- but given a choice, I'd pick Radiata simply because it's more enjoyable over all.

Radiata has two different endings with over 175 characters to find to join your cause.  There's also a whole day/night cycle which plays heavily on many aspects of the game and really gives the games towns life.(ie: a character you're looking for will be in different areas of the town depending on the time of day)

Anyway, I think Radiata Stories is really underated as it's a really enjoyable experience all around.

i want to thank everyone for your opinions. I think am gonna go with Radiata Stories, mainlt beecause rpgs these days dont have much humor, so thats pretty good about that game.

Also, has anyone noticed a striking resemblance to FF9, in terms of art style?
