Forums - Gaming - A thread for Chopin - Impressions on Eternal sonata

Yes , yes, i'm well aware that this game is "old" by current gaming standards, but imo this game is a beautiful and artsy gem that really stands out among all the titles that this gen has thus accumulated.

 

Being a Pol it was very interesting to play a game about Chopin and find out how he can be percieved. A 19nth century pianist and overall music composer becomes and fantasy world moster slayer and , to some degree, a liberator for the oppressed? Pure gold. Especially when you decide to dwelve into the game's very essence, or as some would call, story.

 

While playing the game i noticed, and i'm sure that other people that had played also noticed this, just how....fast the game developes, how the sequences in the game don't make much sense from a logical standpoint. New friends being made just like that, human bosses that you defeat are barely, if at all, mentioned after the battle. Heck, Chopin who is the main character is almost non-existant in the game (as in the game doesn't focus on him).

The way that the game is made....well...it reminds me of the way that dreams are made. And i'm not kidding you, the whole gameplay and story an attempt to visualize a dream. A beautiful dream that would represent all that Chopin wanted to do and achieve, this based off our knowledge of him.

Did you guys and girls have any similar feeling while playing this game?

I'm well aware that this game is about's Chopins dream as he lays on his deathbed, what i  am trying to tell you is not about the general plot...but the way the plot is being shown, the way things progress durring the game.

Wow....i just picked this game up a few weeks back...I Love it, i agree the game is made to replicate a dream and it does it well...Polka seriously pulls at my heartt strings



Spoiler warning!!

Well it's no wonder that Polka managed that, the whole idea of Polka was for her to represent Chopins litle sister. same age and the same medical staus: terminaly ill

And i'm more than certain that the other characters also have a deeper meaning.

^ well...thats not spoiler...i believe thats was mentioned somewhere in a interview...,but yes I really Polka, its strange to because i generally hate the " im so pure and innocent " female leads, this has made want to start playing again..its been on hiatus since College started back up



Imo, with a game that is so full of representations, this should be considered a spoiler. It's the same as for who the Kings in ES represent.
