DESCRIPTION
While most role-playing games are rooted within well-established fantasy or sci-fi worlds, Eternal Sonata takes place within famed composer Frederic Chopin's dreams — his innermost thoughts during the final three hours of his life in 1849. The result is an unusual tale that explores the ongoing struggle between the light and the dark. In Chopin's imagination, an alternate universe exists where characters tirelessly fight to cure a terminal illness. Players initially guide a young girl named Polka, her boyfriend Allegretto, and a child named Beat across forests, villages, and other outdoor locales, battling monsters and meeting new friends along the way.
The combat system is a blend of turn-based and real-time movement, with characters alternating turns yet performing melee, ranged, and magic-based attacks in real time. Light and dark also influence each encounter in dramatic ways. Special moves are available for characters standing in sunlit areas, for example, while enemies are deadlier when lurking within the shadows. In traditional RPG fashion, defeating creatures will award experience points to improve attributes such as health, defense, and speed. Within each area are a number of chests to find, each offering helpful items to use in combat. Chopin's final dreams are brought to vivid life through the developer's use of cel-shaded graphics, anime-styled characters, and the musician's famous works as the score.
Released more than a year after the original Xbox 360 version of the game, Eternal Sonata for the PS3 features a new clothing system that lets gamers change their characters' outfits, and two new playable characters in the form of Crescendo and Serenade.

“I complete this game in 3 month, playing it 32 times and spending on its walkthrough and characters leveling more than 100 hours.
This period of life and gaming was kinda hard for me. Sometimes I played it every day for 3-4 hours but sometimes for two weeks did not played it at all.
And finally came this happy moment whan I reached the ending. Now I can express my opinion about this game.
Firstly Eternal Sonata have a very qualitative and powerful graphics.
Than I saw screenshots from this game for the first time it was like "WOW, This is the game I wanna play"
This game have fantasy style graphics. With an amazing drawing of characters, locations.
So the graphics was the first moment that touched my heart.
Next I liked the story than i first read it. But this story, playing though the game, was kinda dissapoitning for me.
Playing this game you can teach some historical facts about Chopin, not only learn game story. (This historical facts firstly was kinda hard for me to accept).
Also I like this game for so many save points (Except for Unison). It was very comfortable.
Combat system is also on high level. Firstly for me was kinda hard for accept that the combat system eventually going harder and harder.
First party level seems ridiculous for me now. Now I understand that is designed specially for beginners (noobs).
The only thing that I did not like is six party level and changing palces of attack and defense buttons. It was very uncomfortable.
Game is accompanied by beautiful background sound. I love classical music so that it also brings the game possitive notes.
Now lets talk about negative moments. First dissapoitning thing is game length. You can complete game in 30-40 hours. (playng only for a story and not leveling characters)
Second negative moment is about characters. Their live story is closed for us. And this is bad.
Also there is only few puzzles in the game, this is not typical for Namco games.
Few type of monsters that only change color throughout the game, few minor characters also is negative moment. I did not like the ending also... so... yes.
In fact Etenal Sonata 100% is not a masterpiece, but it is not too bad at all. It is worth play it at least once.”
