Eternal Sonata PS3 US-bound by Fall
Playable characters include Serenade and Crescendo, and players can now customize the look of members of their party with a variety of new outfits. New dungeons and different endings should add some flair to a tried-and-tested J-RPG. Eternal Sonata is set for a Fall release for North America.

Didn't this game come out for the ps3 already?

You know what really pisses me off. Eternal Sonata is going to be on the PS3. That bull s*** man. We 360 guys should get together and make a petition and let the developers know we Loyal 360 fans won't sit here and be treated like crap. I mean how could Microsoft let this happen? This is like the worst thing that could ever happen ever.

Namco, this is unbelievable.
You realize you're shooting yourself in the foot by doing this.
SpekOpz @ Jul 15th 2008 3:28PM
Hahaha, nice.

never played...was it any good?
Draco Basileus @ Jul 15th 2008 3:29PM
Oh great Japanese Game Maker, how could you do this? All of you obscenely devoted fans were going to be buying XBoxes to play this game and now you switch on us. Where is the loyalty?
Oh, wait. Wrong JPRG franchise, wrong system switch.
My bad ;-)

Oh sweet, people have said this was a good game, and with added content it'll make it worth getting for PS3.
This, The Last Remnant, and 2 Final Fantasy games coming to PS3 is all good news!

This was a horrible game. I love jrpgs but this was just.. ugh. It's one of the only games I've ever traded in.
whymog @ Jul 15th 2008 5:08PM
You and me both! Finally decided to sell it last week -- and I never sell games. Such a disappointment.
Thankfully, Lost Odyssey was really good.

I agree with you. I just got it and...sad to say but it's kinda standard fare to me. The fight system was novel for a while but things weren't that...varied.
In a regular turn based system, you have several moves close at hand in every battle, but with the way the fighting is in this game you're stuck with a basic attack, and one light and dark attack at a time. Maybe the gameplay gets deeper as I level up my party? And how about costumes and items changing on each character as they were equipped? That would have given it a little more variety. IDK, I just felt it could have been better.
All in all, I think it's a "fair" trade: Eternal Sonata for Final Fantasy, lol. I'm not complaining :)

Might be good...We'll see...
whymog @ Jul 15th 2008 4:15PM
I don't see why porting a mediocre RPG from the 360 is any sort of gain for the PS3. I'm a longtime JRPG fan, and this is unfortunately one of the worst I've encountered in a very long time.
dark_inchworm @ Jul 15th 2008 4:26PM
This is almost as big of a coup as FFXIII 360!
...I lied. Downvote away.
Snowman @ Jul 15th 2008 4:27PM
Eternal Sonata was one of the best new RPGs come along in years, I'm not sure how well it really did on the 360 in terms of sales, but its cool that's its coming to the PS3 as well.
TrojanGuy @ Jul 15th 2008 6:43PM
It actually got very good reviews on 360, although I must admit that I never ended up buying it. Hopefully it'll find good sales on the PS3.
Aeikozz @ Jul 15th 2008 8:21PM
sounds like a great trade actually!
eternal Sonata for FFXIII!
that and i doubt any extra scenes would make the ending to that game make any more sense.
Superstar90 @ Jul 15th 2008 10:58PM
This game is really fun, I'm playing it right now. But I want DLC for that extra content.
Also, does anyone know if I ever get to play with Claves again? I liked her fighting style, but she had to go and die!
John Z @ Jul 16th 2008 7:53AM
Claves is in the optional dungeon near the end of the game. Speaking of which, the ending makes almost no sense-- be warned. But it's still a pretty and fun game.
Ry @ Jul 29th 2008 10:40PM
Love the designs in the game and I'm glad Namco is bringing it here! All we need are more Tales of games to make the jump out of Japan.
Navyguru01 @ Aug 4th 2008 9:59PM
You know, FFXIII is comming out for both 360 and PS3. And, I really dont agree with some people calling Eternal Sonata a bad game, but I guess it all has to do with your taste in games. For some good, others bad, cant really bad mouth them for their opinion.
zero @ Oct 5th 2008 1:34AM
im glad this game is comin 4 ps3 and for you douche bags out there say"omggg wheres the loyalty shit" its just a game for a different game systems besides final fantasy is going to be for xbox360 so its only fair
