Eternal Sonata - it's out now 10/21/2008

[quote name='Ice2Dragon']Wow, 10 hours and still chapter 2? Holy god lol.

Use Viola and you can RUN thru the game so fast.. shes so insanely overpowered still :( It hurts not to use her though.. her healing arrow.. sigh.[/quote]

Actually, I'm stuck fighting Tuba on the bridge. That guy is insanely overpowered. Even if I block, he can take out one of my characters in two moves (which he often gets consecutively). It really makes me think I'm playing the game wrong...

I'm at level 19/20 on all characters, if anyone is curious.

Who are you using? Theres no way he should be killing all your characters.. by comparison im level 19 and just got past the fort fermta boss.. lol..

Try leveling up first.. I remember from 360 days I used Viola/Allegreto/Chopin.. keep allegreto/chopin close to tuba and have viola stand far away in the light and spam holy arrow twice.

or use her to shoot him from really far away.. it should deal a hell of a lot of damage in a short amount of time.

Well, it forced Beat into the fight, so I took in Beat, Viola, and Allegretto. I ended up taking him down last night by taking some revives in with me. Up until that point, I hadn't used items at all.

Now I'm stuck at the boss in the cemetery.

Thats impossible. Falsetto is a beast.. you can get a 24 hit combo easy everytime..
 
Okay, so Chapters 3, 4, and 5 screamed by in about 6 hours. Now I see how some folks beat it at 20 hours. I'm at 18 hours now and my party is all roughly level 24.

I wish the story elements were better placed within the game. There are some areas that make me feel like I'm playing Xenosaga again (cutscene, walk to next area, cutscene, walk to next area, cutscene, boss fight, cutscene, cutscene...).

Yeah, 3/4/5 go by real fast if you used polka/salsa at all, otherwise they are insanely hard if they are underleveled.. the pirate boss battle twice is freaking impossible if you don't level them past 20.

Don't worry, you have a long way to go still.. a very long way to go.. final dungeon takes hours (The extra one, the actual final dungeon is a joke compared to it..)

A word of caution, if you do do the extra dungeon, you will be heavily overleveled for the final boss battle.. and the boss will last maybe 30 seconds against you lol.
 
I just beat the game. 39 hrs, 48 min. My entire party was at level 48. That was much, much more difficult than had been suggested by those that played through the 360 version.

In any case, I rather enjoyed the game and am looking forward to running through on encore mode.
 
I found a used copy, but am debating if i want to pick it up since i have an unopened copy of the 360 version. Will we be getting any DLC on the ps3?

Did you play through with Japanese language on? Were there parts of the ending that were missing subtitles?

I played through in English. The ending did not have subtitles, though the rest of the game did.

In the part of the ending that you are referring to, the characters just regurgitated their lines throughout the game. There was no new dialogue during that portion.

No DLC has been reported.

The PS3 version is more difficult (from what I've heard - enemies give less experience, takes more experience to level up), contains two additional dungeons (one of which can only be accessed in encore mode), five costumes (three for Polka, one each for Retto and Beat), and two new playable characters (Crescendo and Serenade).
