kinda disappointed with eternal sonata...

the game started out promising, but soon took a bad turn for me.  im only starting chapter 2 so hopefully it gets better, but right now the game just isnt doing it for me.  i respect what they were trying to doing for chopin, but they just over did it with some of the music references and scenes.  i like history and being well informed, but when im playing a game, i dont want to have to read about a composers life for 5 minutes.  also, just about every person and city takes a name of some sort of musical term.  i understand that the main game takes place in chopins dream, but that is just too much for me.  lastly, some of the fighting mechanics are off.  for instance, i was in the chorus plains and i was fighitng two of those yellow dragons at once.  well i got one down to where it was slouching so its almost dead, it comes to beats turn, and i use his gun so he attacks the other one instead that hasnt been hit.  as far as i can tell, theres no way to choose your target.  if there is, can someone please tell me how cuz i really want to give this game a good chance.  the actual story is good, if not a little cliche, but that doesnt bother me.  well anyway, that was my little rant.  i hope some people can tell it gets better, if not, its on to star ocean 4.

 

edit: i forgot to say i do enjoy the actual music, its very good, probably one of the best ive heard in a game.   its just it overkills the music theme.
