    Anybody who say's they dont like the look of this game...well you'd be lying, wouldn't you.

    It's a cross between Tales of Symphonia, Final Fantasy and the Mana games. Good combo.

    The combat is also unique. It combines turn based with real time. It's also a bit like worms. You choose your character on the battlefield, and you then have 5 seconds to perform actions, like attacking, healing, moving. Then the enemy has a similar phase, but you dont just put the controller down. You can guard and counter the enemy attacks.


    It's turning out to be an awesome game, and the main reason i'm getting a 360.

      This game does sound good, I just need to find a few more games and I'll be willing to get a 360.

        The characters look retarded. Otherwise, the game looks pretty good.

        [EDIT] Just saw a commercial for it on TV. It looks fairly impressive, but the characters are still a little....meh.

          The characters are looking awesome! They're like Tales of Symphonia, but dumbed down a bit. They're still looking awesome, and if you dont like a character, then you dont have to use them in battle.

            It's suppose to look so? I guess this artistic style just doesn't appease to you.

            Other than that, I love how that game looks. Didn't know the 360 had any good RPGs.

              It doesn't, apart from this. I cant judge Blue Dragon, as i've never played it, but from what i've heard, it's overrated.

                I've discussed this game to death on multiple forums so I'm not going to repeat myself regarding Eternal Sonata again. Long story short, I'll be reviewing this game for one of the websites I write for so I'll be playing it prior to the official release.

                    I can't be bothered since based on previous topics it's pretty obvious the GSSF community generally doesn't appreciate long pieces of text unless it's a stupid Golden Sun fan fiction. Plus I don't like whoring my articles, at most I post a link to them on my blog upon completion but leave the rest to Anubis.

                        This looks like a pretty sweet game. I'll probably never will get a 360 but I would personally love it/ buy if I have one.

                        I love the whole naming after music thing because I am in band and I can be like 'OMG I know what your name means!'

                        I also enjoy the graphics and the character design. I had even alright picked out my favorite character. Jazz. <3

                        Besides it, the battle system seems pretty neat, though most of the character looks around the same age...

                        Anyway, I feel the vibs of a good game. Maybe I'll nag one of my friends to get it so I can play it... XD;

                          The character ages actually vary a lot in this game, unlike most RPG's where they're all in their late teens. 2 of the characters are 8 years old, while one is around 40
