Eternal Sonata pulling a ToS, staying Japan-exclusive on the PS3
Mike Hawk \| 9:17 PM on 06.02.2008	9 comments

note: more than 5 people are allowed care about this story (as opposed 2 my last rpg-related blog post).

Namco-Bandai, being the covet cocksuckers of M$ that they are, were payed to not put the US and Europe versions of Eternal Sonata on the PS3. This might not seem like a big deal to everybody since it's available on the 360, but to a soon-to-be PS3 owner w/ no 360 that wants a good rpg, it's horrible. well, i guess i can always import if i need to (even though i know nothing of japanese).

Well.. I wish I could say you're missing alot but, honestly, the game is too easily defeatable (i.e. too easy) and over before you know it, (read: way too short). That's just my opinion tho'. I wanted to like it and buy it, but after renting it, it was over before I had to take it back.

When has Namco Bandai been a M$ cocksucker? The fact that they made a PS3 version with extra content says different. Yeah Ace Combat Six is exclusive, but hey, MGS4 is exclusive to PS3, KONAMI SUCKS SONY'S COCK!

Boohoo

I really wanted to like Eternal Sonata but it was too JRPG for me. Fight enemies then get cutscene, fight enemies and then get cutscene. Boring.

I really hate how going into a battle takes you completely out of the game. You find one character running around, you go into a battle, and all of a sudden you're in a huge arena with 3 extra enemies. It's silly.

It's sad because the game looks really nice. And now it's on Goozex.

Also, I agree with covah.

It's a pretty forgettable RPG anyway, the game has a ton of potential but never really amounts to anything memorable in the end. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if the Japanese release included an English language option, since the localization's already been finished and a Blu-Ray disk would have room for both audio tracks, so importing might be a good option.

GODDAMMIT.

Am I really going to have to get a 360 just to get my RPG fix this time around?

Anus Mcphanus

Gutted! I held off buying it for the 360 because I want the PS3 version :-(

Either way there's not proof that Namco Bandai "were payed to not put the US and Europe versions of Eternal Sonata on the PS3" that's just speculation but hopefully it'll still make it overseas eventually
