Eternal Sonata or Trusty Bell? Fun gameplay either way!
Trusty Bell, Eternal Sonata… whatever you feel like calling it, the RPG looks like a very sweet adventure for the Xbox 360. We don’t mean sweet as “OMG DATS SWEET!” gamer speech, but sweet as a somewhat lighthearted RPG romp, perhaps with something romantic thrown in.
Made by Namco Bandai and Tri-Crescendo (also known as Tri-Ace‘s sound makers… kinda perfect for a game with composers and Chopin), Eternal Sonata looks like Radiata Stories for the PS2, but the gameplay looks and feels like the Grandia series of games. If you haven’t heard it yet, it starts off with the death knell of a composer, yet ends up being about a young boy and girl.
Kinda makes you wonder if all this is happening as part of the past of the composer or something…
In any case, this new video from TGS 2006 showcases a fair amount of the gameplay, including our trusty male hero wielding a blade, and a young lady brandishing what looks like an umbrella. Hmmm… if the umbrella doesn’t tip you off to the lighthearted nature of this game, we’re not sure what will.
Let’s just wait and see what develops, and pray that, for a game called Eternal Sonata, the soundtrack does the title justice.
