    hmmmmmmm

    this game started out being quite fun!! i was immediately in love with its interestingly difficult battle styles.
    however, once i had adjusted to it it became clear that this game is nothing more than mashing the A button until your turn time is up, then quickly tying it off with the Y button. the game tries its best to convince you that echoes are amazing, and they are intense, but getting that last notch to 32 simply takes way to long to equal out the damage you could have done without waiting. 
     
    my biggest hot spot for jrpgs is the beautiful women, i usually wind up discarding all other characters and simply run about with the babes for my party. in this game, not gonna happen. the main heroin is well...no. viola and claves are the only good lookers to be seen (and claves is beyond good looking), however viola is stupidly useful and can run the entire show all the way from doing 3500 damage a shot at level 20 to healing the whole party twice for free with her healing arrow. claves is simply god aweful, i have never seen a character this bad!! i tried my hardest to find her good points i rly did, what i found was: she likes to die, her attacks are like a kittens, she has no redeeming qualities other than getting an upskirt everytime she levels. what!?
     
    the characters in this game come and go without warning at all times, rigging your party to whomsoever programmed it to be. in battle the camera angles are so bad, I CANT TELL WHERE THE ENEMIES ARE!!! and since you cant change the camera angle out of battle i have ran into many enemies i simply didnt know were there! and the copy paste!! every enemy is the same with a different colour scheme!!!!
    im sorry but this game is the WORST rpg of all time :/

      Review From a S-Rank Perspective 0

      So the other day I finally finished my S-Rank on Eternal Sonata. It took me 32~ hours on my first playthrough, and 27~ hours on my second. I believe I got to see and experience pretty much everything in the game, so I decided to write a review of the game.  So yeah, first things first; I wouldn't spend a total of 59~ hours on a game I didn't enjoy to some extent. The graphics are truly great, the story somewhat keeps your focus, and the (plenty of) voiceacting was good. I'd say that Eternal Sona...

      An ultimately enjoyable, if light, jRPG 0

      It's hard to find a place to start when talking about Eternal Sonata. On one hand, it leaves a great first impression by offering an aesthetically and musically brilliant world to fall into, yet on the other, the unique combat system takes a quite a while to gel. Interlacing the two you have a very linear progression, and a story that at times can feel more like a vehicle for its often preachy morals. The game takes place inside the mind of renowned composer Frederic Francois Chopin, who is on h...
