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

We really worked hard on that one, not just on the video itself, but also on push-ups, ski, running and even a very humiliating belly dance sequence... Enjoy !

WOW, visually this is a game I'm really jalous of the X360...
The look of that game is very great... I don't know anything about the story and battle system, but this game looks like some big fun! Really athmospheric... WOW...

Just grab the demo from Japanese marketplace and you will knost most about it. It's really nice and quite a bit different.
Defetively the best RPG this year far better then Blue Dragon who's just a INSERT standard RPG with Akira Yoyiama graphics.

"Blue Dragon kicks it in the ass, with its story, gameplay and graphics." Yea sure with a fighting system old as mankind itself [turnbased->waiting->boring]..
Apart from that I was definitely not impressed with BD`s grafix in the demo at all!
Storywise we`ll just have to see I guess!
Cheers
PS: Almost forgot 3 Player MP in Eternal Sonata!!! Reminds me of Secret of Mana..Oh well*sniff* Those were the days..

Game looks fabulous and these are actual native buffer grabs not uber-supersampled-bullshot downscales(tm)
But luckily the unbiased fellow at 1UP called it a "dreamcast game". Apparently I can also call all Japanese animation "Moomin Trolls cartoon" because it looks similar, comes from the same country and I used to watch it years back.
Hah that Akira is so a Moomin Troll.

It's nothing special, its turn based with a timer, the characters can only ever execute 2 moves whilst on the battle field with a close and long range veriation.
This game get seriously boring after the first 10 hours, unlike Blue Dragon which i was still enjoying until the moment I completed it.
As for the guy that said the Blue Dragon demo lacked graphical flare, well isn't that to be expected from a demo ?
You have yet to see any of the main villages or Gibral City which is still one of the best examples of next gen graphics i have come across.

Looks superb... although the only problem with this (vs BD for example) is the total linearity of the game. That might go well with the story, but there's going to be the important element of exploration missing.
But then again, this is not the only JRPG on the horizon and that's just great. I even liked Enchanted Arms a lot despite its mediocre reviews.
Edit: One more thing about some free exploration, the thing I've liked about JRPGs (the few I've played) that you always have something nastier than the boss around. Don't have to kill it (or them) to finish the story, but I think it's just the best idea ever to have some challenge waiting around for those who want to go for it and maybe gain something powerful from doing it.
