Eternal Sonata for Xbox 360

No, this isn’t a game based on Yon-sama’s 冬のソナタ Winter Sonata.

It is a RPG with an interesting twist. The story is a dream of the composer Frederic Chopin during his final hours of life. Strange, yes but apparently it works.
While wasting time watching game preview videos, I noticed this game with fabulous graphics and cartoonish characters. I believe this type of game is called かわいい系 (かわいい kawaii cute 系 kei type). I thought, “Wow, this really looks nice. Too bad it is in English.” I like to occasionally play games, but a long game like this would be such a waste of time. However, if the voices were in Japanese, it instantly becomes ‘educational.’
“Oh well,” I thought. Until… I read this:

And for those that are just reading this preview for that one oh-so-precious bit of information, the answer is yes. You can switch the audio dub from English to Japanese at any time.

Wow. I may have to get this game. It comes out September 17, 2007, but can be pre-ordered today.

Sharing is caring!

  • Thanks for the tip!
    I was on that page earlier today and didn’t see that. Still, I think I’ll pass. It will be just one more item to clutter up the house. But I will pick up the game.

  • Going to pre-order mine soon! I loved the demo.
    If you haven’t already pre-ordered it, you may want to have a look at EBGames or GameStop for it. If you pre-order it from either of those, you get one of five free faceplates for your 360. While supplies last anyway (hope I’m not too late).
