The Official Eternal Sonata thread

[ookaze]

@W29 :
I don't hate WRPG but they're boring me fast too. I bought several for the PC, mostly Bioware ones (BG1 + all extensions, BG2 + all extensions, NWN + all extensions), at launch, and I finished only one of them (BG1), and one main campaign of another (NWN main), in the span of several years. Just to have an idea of how much they bore me, during that span of time, I finished several console JRPG and enjoyed them, while finishing the WRPG is a chore.
For example, I would never buy Oblivion of Mass Effect, unless I finished all my JRPG backlog and there was no other one I wanted to play (no chance in hell that happens).

If you're like me and love your JRPG, you'd far better get Eternal Sonata than Blue Dragon. From what I have seen (demos, videos, ...) and the little I've played of it, Blue Dragon is barely good for someone that don't usely play JRPG, and to be avoided at all costs from someone that's used to them.
For me, BD is one of those very bad RPG to be avoided. Eternal Sonata, even with all the problems it has, seems far more worthy.

I've already seen reviews from people who have played the japanese version (and understand japanese, the others players are irrelevant), and I'm looking forward for another review. And some very important details like if the original japanese voices are available are important too (even if I won't get the XB360 version).
