Eternal Sonata is released on Friday and was curious how many of you have ordered it. I love RPG's and there have not been that many good ones on the 360, but I am still not sure if I am going to get this one. It looks like a beautiful game and has good, not great, reviews but from what I heard that the gameplay is focused more towards kids. Not because the characters and setting has a kid theme but because it a bit too simplified and easy. I will wait to hear what players have to say when it's released.

Me.
After Blue Dragon and Enchanted Arms, it's my most anticipated game.
I love Japanese style games and the eternal sonata animation style is just so gorgeous, too!
Edit: I'm weird so I like childish games lol. Blue Dragon is funny even though it's childish dialogue.
I must admit I prefer RPG games such as Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts, but I do not have a PS2/PS3 anymore so cannot play the rest
I expect a PS2 on a 2407 Dell would be crap.

I've got it pre-orderedShould arrive Friday in time for a weekend of gaming
I can find something good in pretty much all RPGs so I'm sure I'll love this. I've still got Blue Dragon to play though as I only just bought it
I'd play it through in Japanese if I were you
The English dub is ... cute .... but Japanese just seems more authentic
I might get it soon, way too many good games out atm and not enough money 
It's about time the 360 got a decent RPG, Oblivion was good but I didn't like the levelling system, Blue Dragon was just a flop which only managed to sell a few copies because of the hype.

Think I'll be getting this on rental first. Have played the demo, not too sure about the combat. I didn't really get to grips with the idea of having to move around and choose sun/shadow combat.
That's what I love about Jap games, the drama.

I didn't think i would but i will after watching the review in http://www.gametrailers.com/player/24972.html
Looks brilliant...the problem is i have so many games to play and no time !
Still not played Halo 3 yet, barely got into PGR4, and PES2008 next week, and i have 5 other games i've just bought last few weeks.

Definate first day purchase for me.
Loved and finished both Blue Dragon and Enchanted Arms so this was always a given. Even played and finished Phantasy Star Universe and err, may god have mercy on my soul a £22 collectors edition of Two Worlds popped through my door about 30 mins ago.
Edit: And my OcUK profile names now Abooie as well! Cheers Nokkon.

Heh don't think I can face Two Worlds from what I've seen of recent reviews
It was one of those 3 pint purchases; now it's here I'm scared to put it in. I do love a rpg but even my gaming guide (games(tm)) could only give it 2/10.
Two Worlds on the PC in my opinion is better than the reviews give it credit for. The voice acting is terrible though, and as far as I know the 360 version is allot buggier than the PC version. If anyone picks this game up do yourself a favour and start on difficult because as you level up it really does get too easy on the normal setting.
There's talk of an imminent (though it seems to have been imminent for quite some time) patch (1.6) that will solve a lot of problem. I can't decide whether to start playing or wait.
Bah, call FFVII a rpg? Ultima IV, now that was a rpg!
Ahh I remember that review, I can't believe they caused such a mess of it. It was a good idea for a game, I might rent it at some point just to see how bad it is.
Just watched the video of Eternal Sonata, want it even more now
I loved the battle system in Star Ocean 2 and it looks extremely similar.
I'm going to get eternal sonata in the jan sales as between halo, two worlds and mass effect (soon) i don't have any spare time at the mo.
As a brief side-note I would recommend two worlds to fans of diablo and baulders gate DA, but not to fans of oblivion. I'm about 40 hours in and loving it, definitely at least a 7.5/10 for me (and only a few minor bugs experienced too)
