Eternal Sonata

Must own for JRPG fans!

An unusual setting with an interesting cast and enjoyable story line. One of the best JRPG's this gen.

It's difficult to say anything new about Eternal Sonata, as it has been available for many years. However, it still stands as one of the best RPGs on the 360: a wonderful, unique experience enhanced by its art and music, and a better game for containing itself within 30 hours, instead of needlessly diluting itself by padding out to 50.

There are a couple of better J-RPGs on 360 that you should get first, but after Lost Odyssey and Resonance of Fate, this is another delightful journey.

I was playing this game and my girlfriend (who is Japanese) walked in. She asked why am I playing a game that is made for little Japanese girls? That was a good question, becuase while this game looks amazing, it is easy, boring, and offered no challenge or reason to grind or level up. Not to mention about half the achievements could only be earned on a 2nd play through of this game!!!

A pretty good JRPG that I have played in a while.

The battle combat system is pretty well done, easy to think of strategies for battle.

The graphics and animation is rather cute and the soundtrack is wonderfully composed.

Storyline wise, it has a tendency to be confusing but you can somewhat grasp what the main idea of the story.

If you or a friend like an anime stylized JRPG with cutesy characters then this is the game for you.
