According to a Namco Bandai newsletter, the beautifully animated RPG title Eternal Sonata will be coming to the PlayStation 3 on October 21.

For those of you who have played the game on the Xbox 360, there are several reasons why Eternal Sonata may be worth taking another look at on the PS3. For example, the PS3 version will include new characters (Crescendo and Seranade), extra cutscenes, new costumes, additional quests, and new music.

Keep an eye out for Eternal Sonata when it ships later next month.

    one-year-too-late port again, dont buy it, or you're just supporting developers who choose to take money from MS first and release stuff later on PS3.

    • 7:17pm BST - September 12th, 2008

     played the demo ,i just cant remember very well ,but i think its turn based

    japan or usa?

    • 7:55pm BST - September 12th, 2008

    No, you nutjob. you're supposed to buy it so that when developers see that a half million more of them were sold on the PS3 than the 36* they'll realize their mistake. Because no one owning a 36* cares about turn based RPGs when they have to justify the 50 bucks a year just to play online by constantly playing FPS and sports games. This is what we've been demanding, equal treatment for our system, to boycott sends the wrong freaking message.

    Seems like i'm gonna need to rob a bank or something to afford all the great games coming out in october. Oh well can't play more than one game at the time so i'll start with one when finished buy the other etc.

    • 9:14pm BST - September 12th, 2008

    This RPG is turn based, but the combat is real time like Tales/Star Ocean. 

    I had it on 360, but sold it to buy on PS3.

    If you are a PS3 fan wanting JRPGs, buy the game.  If you don't buy it, Namco may never bother bringing Tales to PS3 and may say forget bringing ANY exclusive RPG to PS3.

     Played the game on xbox 360, the main drawback of the 360version in the end they all ended up dreaming. THe ps3 version is supposed to have a better ending though so you might wanna pick this up

    Doesn't look like my type of game.  However, I will give them props for adding a bunch of extra stuff when they port it over to PS3...even if it is a bit late.

    • 11:23am BST - September 13th, 2008

    played it on the 360, nothing special, very boring and not much variation. There's better RPGs out there.

  32. RocManX | RocManX

    • 1:10pm BST - September 13th, 2008

    If Namco plans to get decent sales out of this, they need to sell it in the $40-$50 range. There's no way Im buying a year old game for 60+ bucks, I don't care how much extra content you toss in there. Same goes for Bioshock.

  33. AWAKE

    • 1:28pm BST - September 13th, 2008

     ^^^^^^^^ ur an idiot sir ,cause Bioshock deserves more than 60 bucks easily (not that they should charge more just trying to make a point here) ,1 yr old or 20 yrs old it is still a perfect game,and it is a new game regarding sony platform ,so again ur an idiot.

  34. Doomsdae | AOGDoomsday

    • 1:57pm BST - September 13th, 2008

    dude this game is awesome it kinda plays similar 2 star ocean 3 &kingdom hearts a game worth investing in for rpg fans especially since PS3 has few to offer

  35. RocManX | RocManX

    • 2:00pm BST - September 13th, 2008

    @33 you sir are a tool. There WAS a day where I would pay $60 for Bioshock, but that day is long gone. With Resistance2, FarCry2, and Fallout3 all coming out the next 2months Bioshock isnt worth it. It was a great game on my first few playthroughs OVER A YEAR AGO. But I won't be purchasing it again because of a few extras sprinkled on top. So again sir, you're a tool ..... and an idiot. On topic: I might purchase ES if its at a discounted price. (I got rent to pay lol)

  36. markwesker

    • 2:13pm BST - September 13th, 2008

    And i agree totally with that, why should ps3 owners have to pay brand new game prices for a game that has been out a year.no matter how good a game is thats pure skanking people,do people like being taken for an idiot or something.most people will just wait for the price to come down.  @AWAKE why do idiots like u start giving abuse to random people,if u cant take comments on ere get lost, not to mention u would never talk like that to somebody in real life.muppet

  37. AWAKE

    • 2:58pm BST - September 13th, 2008

     @35 i thought u haven't tried it  yet ,if u have then dont bother,but for new comers thats a new game ,not everyone has the money to buy a 360 or a high end pc,that was my point IDIOT. and @ 36 in real life I do talk like THAT to SOBs like urself, the last time i checked IDIOT wasn't a big harsh word,and it is still a free country,geez what a crybaby

    • 3:31pm BST - September 13th, 2008

    Ugh. What's with Devs all delivering games on the same time frame? I was really looking forward to getting this and now it falls in teh short few weeks that Resistance 2, Fallout 3, Little Big Planet, MotorStorm Pacific Rift and Mirror's Edge all get released on!!!!

  39. markwesker

    • 3:34pm BST - September 13th, 2008

    pleaseee sit down son, you dont speak to nobody like that in real life,thats why u come on ere making up for ur p8ssy a8rse by giving  abuse to a comment u dont like,and in your first few comments as a user,great start dumb *ss.and do u even know what that means (free country) lol.that does not include giving random people abuse in life or on the net.next time dont cry over someones comment and stick to the subject

    I have been on here complaining about a lack of RPGs for awhile now, and even though this is a 360 port, it's put up or shut up time. 1ST DAY BUY. It's time we show third party developers that PS3 is the rightful home of RPGs.

  41. Loyal Knight

    • 6:29pm BST - September 13th, 2008

    @40 since when the xbox became the home of RPGs
