Product Information
Step into a magical world taken from the mind of the late, great composer, Frederic Chopin. Taking place in the final hours of the life of Chopin, Eternal Sonata for the PS3 transports you to a fantasy world of magic, mystery, music, and adventure. The characters switch between Chopin's dream world and the morose reality of his deathbed. Whether you're a fan of Chopin's music or a die-hard lover of role-playing video games, this PlayStation game is not to be missed. This PS3 game had a release date of October 2007 in North America. Eternal Sonata is a Bandai-Namco role-playing game for Sony PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. This version is specifically for the PS3 and features additional content exclusive to that console. This includes new costumes, new playable characters, and slightly altered dialogue throughout crucial cut scenes. The PS3 version of Eternal Sonata is a terrific choice for those looking to experience a unique and critically acclaimed video game that combines magic with timeless melodies. Nominated for Best RPG in 2007 by Spike Video Game Awards, Eternal Sonata on the PS3 is truly a one-of-a-kind adventure with a seemingly endless array of challenges. The cast is full of rich, diverse characters who are named after musical themes. Additionally, the heroes all have unique skills to use in combat. Following the typical role-playing style, you can lead a party of up to 12 interactive characters. Foremost among these is Polka, a young girl cursed with magic who meets Chopin in his dreams. Joining her is Allegretto, a thief with a heart of gold. The large cast also includes former prisoners, a prince, revolutionary soldiers, and spies. Together they must survive a story full of political espionage and rebellion. This PS3 game plays like many RPGs. You can explore the world, talk with its inhabitants, trade your equipment, and square off against monsters. For the latter, Eternal Sonata lets you experience a complex and combo-based battle system while using swords and magic weaponry. Enemies are visible on the field, and it is up to you to decide whether you want to engage with them. Once you are in a battle, you use Tactics Time to select your attacks. Each attack increases your Tactics Time and your Echoes meter, which lets you make use of your party's special skills. Pay close attention to light and dark areas, as your party's abilities are affected by these subtle changes. As for the art style, the anime-designed world and character art is sure to appeal to fans of that style. This PlayStation 3 game also includes educational cut scenes that feature real paintings and photographs instead of the usual cel-shaded technique. This unique approach to the art style sets this above other video games in its class. The PS3 is also more than capable of showing off the game's gorgeous, lush landscape design to its full potential. As for the soundtrack, it features a selection of Chopin's own musical scores as well as original compositions created just for the game. For those with a PlayStation 3 and a soft spot for RPGs, be sure to treat yourself to this enjoyable jewel among Namco Bandai games. After you embark on your adventure, you'll see why Eternal Sonata was nominated for a major RPG award.Product Identifiers
