My personal belief is that tri-Crescendo designed Eternal Sonata as an open challenge to the cosplay scene.

Fifteen hours in and I know I’ll be seeing this one through to the end. While the gameplay is very much your standard jrpg fair, and the frequent mazes a bit tedious, it’s the wrapper they’ve encased these basic tenements in that really excels. The visuals and character design are stunning, the story solid, and the music is beautiful. Between each chapter is a small segment detailing points of Chopin’s life and his music; for me, those alone have been worth the price of admission.

Did a bit of tinkering with the PSP. Also, ripped my PSX copy of Final Fantasy VII in preparation for an upcoming binge on the series: Final Fantasy VII, then FF VII: Crisis Core, followed by a viewing of Advent Children.

Thanks to continued pressure from Adam, I’m chugging along in World of Warcraft again, and Vagary, my Undead Priest, is now level 49. I just want to see Burning Crusade content.
