Looks good.

If my 360 was working, I'd download the demo and try it myself.

Sorry it's comming. 

You'd have to be pretty dense to think it's not.  This game is produced by Namco/Bandai.

This game makes me wish I had a 360. I hope it does well, because from what I've seen, the story and characters are unique. :?

For whoever's tried the demo, what did you think of the game?  I'm curious as to how it will pan out in the full version.  I wouldn't mind a real RPG on the 360 :)

Played through the demo this morning. It's OK at best. Pre-rendered backgrounds a la FFVII. There's no camera system (apart from the one that Beat has :P). It's kind of annoying in battles sometimes. You'll waste 1-2 seconds just trying to find the right way to go.

Totally bog standard JRPG. Not as graphically impressive as I thought it would be, but very pleasant all the same. Looks better than a PS2 game for sure, but also like it could run on Wii pretty well. Really reminds me of the Baten Katos games visually. Voice acting's pretty bad, but not terrible. Music is forgettable at best. Battle system's OK, but mainly hack n mash like Tales.

That all said, it's a great demo that's a good 45-60 minutes long and really gives you a taste of the game. Should be a good game for people already into JRPGs, but it won't convert anyone into liking them.

I'm not a big fan of JRPG's but this one is kinda fun.

battles aren't random at least.

Very nice Details, Textures and Artwork though.

the scene with the blooming flower fields looked awesome.

You pretty much said what my friend said about the demo. I was really hoping this game would be amazing, but again, it's still just a demo.

Just played a little bit of the game kinda cool how it is a mixture of the whole rpg element of taking turns ,mixed with action and player control. Also how your attack style changes from being in and out of light.

I downloaded the demo as well, and it was quite enjoyable. I would consider it a solid A-AA JRPG experience.

Microsoft doesn't ban members who use an alternative account for downloading out of their region downloads. If the content violates one of their partnership things, you simply cannot download it. Since the Eternal Sonata demo is a form of advertisement, I highly doubt Namco Bandai (I believe is the name) would have any problems with it - thus you can download without any penalties.

I question the demo's localization though. Everything is in English... the voice overs, the text, everything! Why was an English demo released on the Japanese marketplace, or does this have some sort of fancy auto-localization doo-hickie built into it?
