Board 8 > Rate the Game: Eternal Sonata

(+) Yeah! (+)

Rules:
- Rate from 0 to 10 (one decimal place is fine, more than that and I'll round for you). I'd prefer if 5 were an average rather than 7.
- You may vote for any games you want that have been rated before at any time. You may also change your vote at any time.
- No alts, no joke voting, no “purposeful downvoting” - you all know this.
- Please only vote if you've played enough of the game to be able to rate it.
- You may nominate as many games as you want on any given day. Multiple noms of the same game aren't necessary.

We now have a new member in the Bottom 10, forcing out a fellow NES game

Today's game makes you wonder how Chopin himself would feel if he knew that he was the lead character in a video game (after catching up on nearly two centuries of history and such)

7.0

Though it had a laughably pathetic plot and poor character models, the music was fantastic, the game looked gorgeous outside of the characters, and it had one of the most interesting battle systems that I have played in an RPG

7.0. The plot was terrible, but the voice acting was pretty good, the gameplay was fun, and the soundtrack was amazing.
