All done!

 

Beat the hell out of Rondo when I went back at level 79! Then the last boss in the Mysterious Unison was in for a beating as I levelled up while I was getting cash for the last soul. Lastly, the last boss was a real pushover what with me being level 85 and him being 59 :) Lets just see if I can keep going and play through it a 2nd time....

When I found out about the last boss I wanted him to have really crappy gear, but like I said I sold all my crap items so everyone had the best items I could find.

As for the second time, I'm having trouble on some of the bosses, being only level 5 or 6 with no good special moves, but with Party level 6, this Baby Dragon in the Agogo forest is really annoying. Especially having more health and whatnot.

 

3 hours in and I just got up to Fort Fermata. This game is so good.

I started my 2nd run when I got in from work today and I have just finished the first chapter.

 

The normal bad guys are pretty much the same but the bosses seem to be alot tougher than they were on the 1st time through.

Yeah, the small green turnipy things are a doddle. But the massive wooden ones needed a beating. The small dragon boss was pretty hard, but when you have to save Polka that boss wasn't that hard.

 

Have you gotten up to Viola yet in your second run? They guy you have to give the long johns to gives you some milk, and you have to give him the milk apparently but having gone forward and backwards I can't seem to give him the milk. Did you already do this on your first play through? I'm thinking I can use the teleporter in Baroque to come back later hopefully.

PS: What did you think of it then overall? You said you hated the whole musical aspect of the story if I remember?

I havent got there yet but its just a minor trading sequence so dont worry if you miss it. The major trading sequence for an achievement happens later in the game.

Ahaha, what guide are you using? One from Gamefaqs?

Wouldn't mind buying me one of those. I got one for Blue Dragon and that was a waste of money.

The game's pace is so much quicker if you skip the cutscenes. I'm already on Chapter 3 and I've only done 8 hours.

Ive finally got all 1000 points off the game after another 20 hour run through. The trading sidequest and the score piece sidequest are just annoying.

 

For the final score piece you have to get to chapter 7 and then walk all the way back through 3 MASSIVE levels/areas all so you can get the last one.

 

For the trading sidequest the game gives you the ability to teleport to certain areas but these areas are always miles away from where you have to be. Be the time I was finished I was sick of the sight of Hanon Hills!

 

Now that Eteranl Sonata is done I can finally start Lost Odyssey, had it on my shelf for a few weeks now.

After abandoning this game for a number of months i've decided to come back to it. Just started chapter 3 awhile ago and i'm in some pirate ship. Everyone's level is in the low to mid 20's atm.

I go for a weekend and you completely finish it. *shakes fist*

I need to get it done. I will do it this week I think. Then I might put it on my shelf and love it forever.

Sorry to bump this old thread, but I just have to rant about how absolutely boring this game was. :heh:

 

  • At least it was pretty.
     
     
  • The cutscenes felt pretty last-generation, though. Almost every single one was just characters standing around talking, and occasionally doing a stock animation like raising their hands to their mouth or slowly turning their head. I mean, I realize there's only so much you can do when your game has so many cutscenes, but they could have put a little effort in. Cutscenes that last fifteen minutes at a time that are nothing but characters sitting around talking about things that aren't interesting with long pauses between lines and no lip-syncing just aren't fun.
     
     
  • I probably wouldn't have minded the cutscenes being filled with talking heads if the story had been at least somewhat interesting. The only thing I knew beforehand about the story was that you played through the dream of a dying Frédéric Chopin. And that actually sounded interesting! Something different from most JRPGs! And then Chopin takes a backseat to a plot about magic and an evil count and magic drugs and two nations on the brink of war. Oh, and there's a band of rebels.
     
    There's always a band of rebels.
     
     
  • This is the best scene in the game:

Maybe I'll remember liking it in four years, too. :hmm:

Not even a praise for the stellar soundtrack? No? Sir, I'm going to have to ask you politely to leave. That or pretend you liked it.

Nah, the music was pretty good. I just got so distracted by the horrible story that I forgot to mention it. :heh:

 

The best way to experience Eternal Sonata would probably be to look at screenshots while you listen to the soundtrack.
