Eternal Sonata

Atari and Namco Bandai released the Xbox 360 version of Eternal Sonata almost 14 months ago, and the Playstation 3 version will finally be available this week in Europe. The new package includes several enhancements of an already good game, so see inside for images, videos and some impressions.

Last out from Atari today is Eternal Sonata on Playstation 3, which will be released in February next year in Europe.

Tri-Crescendo's president Hiroya Hatsushiba presents us the development of Eternal Sonata (i.e. Trusty Bell) from a fresh angle with this first Making-of video. Already available in your favorite shops, this RPG dissociates itself from many others with a cute artistic direction.

Namco Bandai sent us these 46 images from the localized version of Trusty Bell / Eternal Sonata. Looking good as always.

Trusty Bell has been released last month in Japan, but has still to be released elsewhere so it's logical that Namco prepared a brand new trailer (all in English) for this E3. Quite a few new things shown in there too.

Let's all welcome DjMizuhara in the small community of video makers for the Gamersyde community, since he will now provide us with lots of 720p videos from games as they are released in Japan, or even before as is the case here :) This video shows the full intro of the game, and it's a tad large since this is the first time our new friend is doing this. At least it looks great, to say the least! Another video showing what happens after the demo events will be online later today.
Update: Part 2 added.

Two weeks from the japanese release, Namco release this brand new trailer of Trusty Bell showing the characters in action during fights. It's as beautiful as ever, and the demo also proved that the fighting system was excellent.

Namco updated the official Trusty Bell page with these new images, some unveiling new characters, and a trailer with no new footage but at least a new music.

As a bonus from Snoopers' nice video, I really had to capture the game in its japanese version, so while waiting for the video for later, here are 60 720p screen captures.
Update: First video showing some cutscenes.
Update 2: The video is finally online!

Namco/Bandai surprises everyone by releasing a playable demo of Trusty Bell (also known as Eternal Sonata), available on the japanese Marketplace of the Xbox 360. As usual, here is a video of the entire demo, in english. For the 720p version, you'll have to wait until this evening.
