Eternal Sonata (Playstation 3, 2008)

I was not happy with this game, it started off fine, but I quickly discovered that sadly I wasted much of my time to only reach a point in the game where it became impossible, and rather pointless to continue to play, I do not recommend this game at all, it is certainly not up to speed on good game play and ease of play!

Excellent RPG Japonais qui ravira tout les fans en manque sur notre PS3. L'histoire est enchanteresque, les musiques sont magnifiques, que du bonheur :)

best game ever! long and intresting story of the composer chopin's dream world before he died. hope you like it!

This is probably the best RPG that the PS3 has to date. I highly recommend this for RPG lovers. This game is a good different type of RPG. If you like final fantasy this is a fresh change and something new while we wait for FFXIII to come out. I have been playing RPG'S for a long time. This was a good breath of fresh air.

Classic rpg thrillride. Cool battle system engine, awesome storyline, snazzy background tunes, fun experience. What is great about this game is the compelling story and the fact that the music is in tune with the flow of the plot. The characters are done so well, they seem like real people that you would want to play in a sequel to another vivid dream!!!

This is an awesome game. Fun to play, like-able characters, great story, and beautiful colors (especially on a large LCD screen- HDMI); Music is good too. Very addictive.

The only thing I don't like about it, is when you die, it takes you back to the Main Menu and you need to Load again.

Highly recommended.

Very fun and entertaining game that will keep you entertained for a while. If you love Final Fantasy games then this is for you. The game is a lot like Final Fantasy as the game is turned based while you having your party of 3 characters during battle but you can also move your characters to attack different opponets to kind of give it its own touch. The game has an amazing soundtrack and I would highly reccommend it if you are a Final Fantasy fan that is looking for something a bit different.

It's very rare to find a JRPG on the PS3 and while that is changing over the past few years, I love the fact that Eternal Sonata has seen a port to the PS3 with some extra content. The game is also rather tough to find in retail chains so if you do see it in a store or here on eBay, I do recommend buying it. The music in the game alone is worth the price of admission.

I really like how they shipped it out quickly and accordingly. I recieved it faster than expected and they even fufilled a special request for me.

Probably one of the best sellers on eBay!

Will be a repeat customer for sure!

I love this game. The battle mechanics are beautiful and innovative and move seamlessly together. The story is very deep and entertaining. There are several things you can do within the game alternative to the main story. There is a history of composer Frédéric Chopin which only adds to the games depth. The graphics are breathtaking with very detailed enviroments. And the gameplay is fun as well as always keeping you on your toes. I decided to buy this game after a friend of mine was talking about playing it and it sounded fun. All in all this game is well worth playing and I would recommend it to anyone.

Eternal Sonata (トラスティベル ～ショパンの夢～, Torasuti Beru Shopan no Yume?, Trusty Bell: Chopin's Dream) is an original role-playing video game created by Tri-Crescendo, one of the developers of Baten Kaitos and Baten Kaitos Origins. The Xbox 360 version of the game was released on June 14, 2007 in Japan, September 17, 2007 in North America, and October 19, 2007 in Europe. The game was also released on the PlayStation 3 with additional content as Trusty Bell: Chopin's Dream - Reprise (トラスティベル ~ショパンの夢~ ルプリーズ, Torasuti Beru Shopan no Yume Rupurīzu?)　on September 18, 2008 [3] in Japan, and in North America on October 21, 2008 (release date announced as of 9-15-08),[4] and in Europe (with the original name 'Eternal Sonata') on February 13, 2009.[5]

The game is centered on the Polish romantic pianist and composer Frédéric Chopin, who died of tuberculosis at the age of 39. The story envisions a fictional world dreamed by Chopin during his last hours that is influenced by Chopin's life and music, and in which he himself is a playable character, among others. The game features a selection of Chopin's compositions played by pianist Stanislav Bunin, though most of the in-game music was composed by Motoi Sakuraba. The game's battle system centers on musical elements and character-unique special attacks. Light and darkness plays a part in the appearance and abilities of enemies on the battlefield, as well as the types of magic that can be cast.[6]

I was kinda skeptical at first when buying this game due to its anime style, but I was proved wrong at the end. Despite being an anime style rpg game, eternal sonata is one of the best classic style rpg game in ps3. Do you like final fantasy? Then you will like this game. It is a beautiful game with seamless movement, superb storyline, and groundbreaking battle system. As a player you will gradually level up and the way you control the battle will be more advanced, and you will enjoy it even more because it fells like you are deeply included in the battle. The storyline is also excellent, it can take you up to 15 minutes for an in-game movie through the game. Sounds familiar right? Yeap, this is the classic style rpg game coming to ps3. If you are an rpg gamer that craves for rpg game that is strong in its story, you must have this game.

i decided to buy this game from this seller because it is no where to be found anymore in the local market of game distributers.
outstanding seller, wonderful communication, HIGHLY recomended, item is perfect as described!! VERY happy customer! =] A++++++++++++++++++++++++

Great RPG. Fascinating concept for a game and I thoroughly enjoyed playing it. The characters are likable and the graphics are out of this world.

Like:
Good rpg no many on ps3, cool fighting style similair to Valkyria chronicles

Dislike: I had no connect to it, i fealt like its just another game and couldnt get into it(back to wow lol)

Fun, RPG-type game. The battle system is unique in that during each characters turn you get a certain amount of time to make as many attacks or other actions as you can. The only thing keeping me from giving this a perfect score is the amount of time spent on dialogue sequences. You can skip these on subsequent playthroughs but initially you want to have some idea of what's going on.

Old school rpg style with some nice twists to encourage both long term strategy and quick thinking. There is also a rhythm element to the fights. Heavy story and plenty of dialogue. People might say the game looks "cute," and it can be, but don't be deterred as there is plenty of depth to satisfy any rpg fan.

amazing visuals, enjoyable gameplay, sweet storyline and loveable characters. a must have for rpg lovers.

I found this game quite entertaining...the gameplay is fun and the story seems to be interesting. i recommend this game if you want a good rpg game to play :D

I was somewhat uncertain how well the gameplay would be considering that you can have two people playing simultaneously during battle play. The primary controller controls navigating through the world, finding items, configuring the characters with equipment, etc. If you are one who doesn't mind watching game play while waiting for a battle scene to come up -- then this is a great RPG for two people to play.
The world was done very well graphically. The cut scenes dividing each of the chapters reveal more and more information about the life of Frederick Chopin.

The facet of the game most enjoyable was the music. Containing many original Chopin piano pieces and completely filled with music terms, this is a vibrant wonderfully portrayed musical fantasy land.

If you are a fan of classical music, enjoy intelligent and in-depth multiple non-linear story lines -- then this is a great RPG to play. I also hear that it was not widely available in the United States. I could not find it in any local game stores -- the only place that had it available was the internet.

The only complaint I have is the length of the game. It could easily be beaten by a single player in under 48 hours of play. But considering everything else -- the play, the music, the graphics, the story -- it leaves you more interested in the story and the unusual characters you meet along the way.

Very interesting, creative game. One to hold on to also.

First play through is fairly easy and the game does not provide much of a challenge in terms of puzzles or quest. Second play through is much harder, regular battles if not at a high enough level will be tougher than even the most advanced bosses. Bonuses such as score pieces are a trivial distraction and status items/cures are not even practical to use. Overall the story line is a strange yet intriguing journey towards righteousness and justice.

Advancing to Level 6, giving the group a max of 6 harmony chains is a must to complete the second play through. It also makes the game worth playing over again. Game has great voice overs and dialogue but needs more customization. The inability to control camera angles is a pain and a blessing in disguise. Near the last quarter of the game you can control up to 3 characters from a pool of 12. 7-8 of the characters are so weak in spells and skills they are not even worth investing time in, which takes a lot out of the game.

Overall, game play is not new or anything inventive but it provides the right amount of distraction until the next great rpg comes out to PS3. This rpg seems to target the younger generation of gamers with its simple mechanics and easy gameplay but lacks the amount of action, gore and excitement to keep them coming back for more. That is probably why even though the game is great it does not really target any group successfully.

I bought this game for my husband,but found that I enjoyed it to.The graphics were beautiful and hearing the music at the same time was extremely relaxing.My husband enjoyed playing this game and for once I enjoyed watching him play this game.We would both highly recommend this game.
