It scored really well in Game Informer. I think it'll be a good game, but the combat seems pretty basic.

Was it just released in US market place? I found it to be a great demo and definitely a game I will get. The Blue Dragon demo should have taken the approach that Eternal Sonata has taken were your given only early stats and stuff. I'm gunna get both eventually.

I must have already played this demo on an OXM disk or something because to me this is older news. I didn't like it all though. For anybody that cares Beautiful Katamari demo was pretty fun though.

Just got home, finally played it and....WOW. Best battle system in a jRPG EVER. Also, LOVE the visual style...this totally owns Blue Dragon in that department IMO. The only thing i found strange is how zoomed-out the camera is when outside of combat...no big deal tho.

5/5 and i'll DEFINITELY be picking this up on release day.

P.S. any1 else feel kind of strange about having so many good jRPGs to look forward to?

I mean...this is a Microsoftsystem isn't it? :P

ES is actually the reason I recently bought a 360. The graphics don't scream "NEXT GEN!!" but the art style is superb and the storyline is the best I've seen in forEVER. Also, the battle system slightly reminds me of a more complex ToS which I love. I don't see it getting much higher than 8.0 on most reviews but from what I've seen, it deserves at LEAST a 9.0.

This would be really cool...except everywhere I look had it listed for 60 dollars.

Still, I thought the demo was great (played it a couple months ago) and after the mediocre Blue Dragon demo I'm definitely looking forward to Eternal Sonata more.

I liked it a lot. The game has great art style and music. The battle system is cool. Overall, I liked it a lot better than Blue Dragon.

I would give it 8.5 out of 10

Was it the same as the OXM demo? Or is it a completly different demo?

If it's the same as the OXM demo then I give it a 3/5.

Based on how the Tales games were received, I'm expecting 7.5 - 8.0 out of 10.

See, I really liked the Blue Dragon demo. Seemed like it would be a great game. However, I realize that demos are made to show you the best parts of games to make you want to buy them. I'm waiting for reviews on Blue Dragon and Eternal Sonata before I make the choice between them (if I have to).

Eternal Sonata demo is downloading as I type this... hopefully I like it better then Blue Dragon!

Nothing is wrong with BD. Unlike ES, there just was not anythig that stood out about the BD to me whitch is a disappointment since it is supposed to be Microsoft's big JRPG. The characters, the battle system, the art style, and the setting felt like million other JPRGs outwhere. I think, it BD will be solid JRPG but nothig special.
