While the game is turn based the action still takes place in real time during the turns, giving a unique combination of both gameplay styles. Quote: Eternal Sonata will feature a battle system centered around musical elements and character-unique special attacks, though actual details of battles are still forthcoming. Reports from the 2006 Tokyo Game Show indicated that light and darkness would play a part in the appearance of enemies on the battlefield, as well as the types of magic that can be cast. The game will not only feature a selection of Chopin's compositions played by the pianist Stanislav Bunin, but will also feature additional in-game music composed by Motoi Sakuraba.

I assume it plays like your usual turn based RPG... but that doesn't explain why it has all the face buttons having a different function. Could be semi-real time like a Tales game.

No kidding. It's "OMFG BEAUTIFUL!" if you ask me. I wish all of the developers would get it through their heads that next gen doesn't HAVE to be ultra realistic to look, well, "OMFG BEAUTIFUL!". In fact, you avoid the whole "uncanny valley" thing when you go cartoony, so you don't notice the flaws as much. That's why I think Mario Galaxy impressed me so much at E3, it probably would have looked like crap if they were trying to be all realstic, but instead it looked fantastic.

Fat plumber with a double chin and a plumbers crack.. doing gymnastics! Oh, how traumatising. ^_^ This game looks so so so pretty! O__O It's tempting to save up for a 360 just for that.. Pity I like spending my moneys. (I really love the lolita style clothings! <3)

It could end up being really silly looking, which would be great. Example: Posted Image But yeah, back to Chopin's Dream, I definitely am ready for next gen graphics if they bring more games that look like it.
