Eternal Sonata On PS3: More Than Just A Port

Luke Plunkett — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 06:20:00 MDT

Eternal Sonata's due on the PS3 (at least in Japan) in September 2008. It was released on the 360 (at least in Japan) in June 2007. Time enough for tri-Crescendo to make the wait a little more worthwhile for PS3 owners, yes? Yes. Plenty of time. The PS3 version will feature two new playable characters, new dungeons, new quests, multiple endings (which depend on your in-game actions), new costumes, some new musical numbers and even new 2D character illustrations. That's a lot of stuff! Maybe even enough to convince some die-hard fans to buy the thing twice. All those upgrades should feature in the Western versions as well, which will be out...sometime in the future.

We know only a few details about the Namco Bandai's Fragile for the Wii. Development is being handled by tri-Crescendo—they of Baiten Kaitos and Eternal Sonata fame—and it's packed with fabulous anime hairstyles. Plus, that flashlight from Fragile's teaser clip? It just screams Wii remote controls. One less mini-game collection for serious Wii gamers.

Eternal Sonata is an RPG for the Xbox 360 coming from tri-Crescendo, creators of Baten Kaitos. The storyline is one of the most original concepts I've seen in the genre. Hours before the tuberculosis death of famous composer Fr d ric Chopin, he enters a dream world where people with terminal diseases have magical powers. The game features selections of Chopin's music played by Stanislav Bunin, which should go together wonderfully with the graphics here, which are nothing short of enchanting. With a plot steeped in tragedy and some of the most beautiful music ever created, be sure to have tissues on hand when the game launches later this year. Michael Fahey
