I've recently got this game early this morning...spend time with my girlfriend (being that i might not see her for a about a week or two) and popped this baby into my 360 and watched in awe at this beautiful work....i nearly cried. Eternal sonata is the second line of JRPG games that is making its mark now on the Xbox 360 (and ps3 down the line) but for Right now, being i just started this game its already one beautiful looking journey into the twilight hours of Chopin; Of course the story goes like this....The real life composer fredrick Chopin around 1846 has drifted into a dreamlike coma. He's on teh verge of death but not really there yet but beyond this music, beyond his reality lies a world that he only created...and what a beautiful and colorful world it is. With characters names based around musical genres the story is very engrossing often at times can be very preachy that much is true...but the deeper you play and the more you look at this game you put all of that aside and say, "Damn...waht was i'm talking about!?" its that mesmerizing. The music is based off of some of Chopin's work in real life and some that didn't make it to any record or soundtrack before his death and its done with such grace and beauty that you get drawn into the beauty of Chopin's work with orchestrated violins and piano work this game is like 360's heaven sent and its worth playing with the complex battle system that makes light and dark your protagonist in the battles which is cool and orginal in some sense but the fighting feels nearly close to the Tales series. Yes it does feel kinda liner at times but again that's overlooked so in the end its work a buy if not rent you will enjoy Chopin's world in a sense that it invokes real life into his dream merging it in such away that almost feels surreal but fun yet doesn't hold your hand that much only on liner factors but still a worth while RPG adventure...check it out!
