    Slightly innovative turn-based JRPG still gets repetititve

    Eternal Sonata features absolutely marvelous piano music, and a story that shows parallels with Chopin's live in the Polish  "great emigration". The entire storyline is absolutely ingeneous, even though the part that plays in Chopin's dream suffers from the typical Japanese overacting. The novelty is the real-time turn-based attack scheme, and the party levels. I like both. Still the game gets repetitive, and after months of playing intermittently, I'm still stuck in some sort of tower with all powerful enemies. It's not that I can't beat them, it just takes so much time.....

      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...
