Eternal Sonata FTW

This forum was barren. Anyways, has anyone else picked up the end-all-be-all games involving Frederick Chopin? This is actually next on my to-buy list and I'm hoping it'll be a bit more rewarding than Blue Dragon.

I picked it up along with all the faceplates, but I'm just waiting to finish Blue Dragon before I sit down with it and start it. The demo sold me though hands down.

I am on the second play through now and I am stuck. Great game though.

i played the demo as well and loved the way you used different techniques depending on if your standing in a light or dark spot during battle.cant wait to pick this up.

[Variation-XBA]

Finally finished Blue Dragon so now I'm starting this. WOW this is one of the prettiest games I've EVER seen art style wise.

I really enjoyed the demo, but I'm saving for Mass Effect. And yes I did think the art style was awesome. Reminds me of True Fantasy Online that got canned on the Xbox, artwise.

I noted that too. It really reminded me of the graphical styling used in the Tales series (most notably Tales of Symphonia... but if I remember correctly some of the same developers worked on both). If the story is par to Tales then this game is definitely a winner.

God I wish that game would have came out, I'd play it now if it even came.

Yea, I can definetly see the similarities of the Tales series.

Absolutely loving the story so far and already has me thinking and wtf-ing.

You got 1 random one if you preordered at EB. I ordered 5 to ensure I got all 5... heh ;)

These are only my ES faceplates, I have a much larger collection of em though

[NiNeBReaKeR]

nice, its safe to say you got a pretty steady job there, that or you just spend every last cent you have on your xbox. Out of curiosity how many do you have and can we see ur favorites?

Those Sonata ones are my favourites, well, maybe except for my autographed one.
Here's most of em but I havn't added the pics of the new Halo ones though:

No clue, I don't open my faceplates... heh

If it's vinyl, they shouldn't, but I've never sued one, They all look too tacky

[l Maximus l]

Wow, Variation...that's a pretty hardcore collection you have there!

Btw, I heard that the skins are terrible for the 360...all of them. I haven't seen one in person, but, I was actually going to buy a Halo 3 skin when I picked up the game...and even the dude behind the counter said "Dude, you don't want that...it looks terrible..all of them do". All of his co-workers agreed. They said that they actually talk people out of using them because they don't turn out very good and they get a lot of un-happy customers.

So, basically, I took their word for it, though, I haven't actually seen what a skin looks like on a 360.

[Variation-XBA]

Well I don't open my faceplates, but I have seen the skins on a friends system and it looks "ok" if it blends (white skin on an elite looks retarded, etc), but it's a ***** to clean after you wanna take it off.
