Eternal Sonata Japanese title (トラスティベル 〜ショパンの夢〜 Torasuti Beru ~Shopan no Yume~?, Trusty Bell: Chopin's Dream) is a role-playing video game developed by Tri-Crescendo and published by Namco Bandai Games. The Xbox 360 version of the game was released on June 14, 2007 in Japan, September 17, 2007 in North America, and October 19, 2007 in Europe. The game was also released on the PlayStation 3 with additional content Japanese title Trusty Bell: Chopin's Dream – Reprise (トラスティベル 〜ショパンの夢〜 ルプリーズ Torasuti Beru ~Shopan no Yume~ Rupurīzu) on September 18, 2008 in Japan, and in North America on October 21, 2008, and in Europe on February 13, 2009.It is notable for its use of classical piano pieces, educational cutscenes featuring real paintings and photographs (in contrast to the cel-shading graphics of the game) and lush landscape design.Frédéric François Chopin, the famous Polish pianist and composer, is on his deathbed at the age of 39. Feverish from tuberculosis, he hallucinates a dying dream in which he is exploring a strange fantasy world that seems to parallel aspects of his own life and music.Polka, a young girl with an uncanny resemblance to Frédéric's dead little sister, is one of the inhabitants of this otherworld. As someone who has developed magical powers (which is feared as a symptom of impending death), she is shunned by the world and lives a lonely life selling herbal medicine to a nearby village. When The Empire introduces a mysterious new wonder drug that threatens what little business she gets, Polka begins an epic journey across the land to meet with the Evil Overlord in person and plead her case to him.Frédéric, believing that this dreamworld is a form of purgatory for his soul, joins Polka on her quest so that he may see the dream to its conclusion and pass peacefully onto the afterlife. But as he continues forth, he is given more and more reason to doubt that initial conclusion. Is Polka just a conjuration of his dying mind, or is she a real person living in an Alternate Universe that Frédéric has somehow tapped into? And if he truly is the Cosmic Keystone of this world, then what will happen when Frédéric finally breathes his last?The battle system reflects the latest influences in RPG design at the time it was created. Your character is given a set interval of time with which to move or attack, and the special moves available to your character depend on whether they're standing in light or shadow. Some environments have moving clouds and the like, making it a challenge to keep in a location where your heals can go off. It is possible to block, counter, and build up a chain called the Harmony Gauge in order to boost the power of your special attacks.The RPG gameplay is accompanied by both original and arranged pieces by the virtuoso composer, and the action is occasionally interspersed with sequences that relates the events to the very real drama of the historic Chopin. An encounter with an unbeatable swordsman in a rain-soaked jungle reflects Chopin's near-fatal bout of tuberculosis on Mallorca during the rainy season. Escaping from the castle dungeons with the aid of La Résistance parallels Chopin leaving his native Poland mere days before the November Uprising throws the country into chaos, and so forth...The game was first released for the Xbox 360 in 2007, then for the PS3 (with added features and a somewhat altered plot) in 2008. The PS3 adaptation includes two characters upgraded to playable status, new dungeons and character costumes and a number of significant additions and improvements to the game's story and script. On the downside, though, while the Xbox 360 version includes Achievements, the PS3 one does not support Trophies, as it was a launch title for the PS3 and was apparently created before the Play Station Network and Trophies were conceived of.There is also a manga adaptation of the game. However, it is only 10 chapters long and changes many aspects of the story drastically. | |

Sure, Let's Go with That: When party supposed take care of the "ghosts" underneath the Mandolin Church, Allegretto decides to jet and fetch Polka. Viola suggests that the reason he's leaving is because he's scared of ghosts, and he happily seizes on that excuse, stating that he never told anyone before, but he's super-scared of ghosts. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Eternal Sonata (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: If you lose to Chopin in the final battle, he wakes up in the real world. The PS3 version of the game also bears some changes on the normal ending. Additionally, the PS3 version has at least three different sequences that can be shown during the first set of closing credits. What's odd is that there doesn't seem to any specific trigger that determines which ending you get. The endings are as follows: Frederic appears on a black background and addresses a soliloquy directly to his late sister, Emilia. Photos of various scenes from throughout the game are shown. The characters appear and recite lines from the game. However, they don't directly address the player like in the XBox 360 version and some of the lines they use are ones that are exclusive to the PS3 version. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall: The protagonists speak directly to the player during the first half of the ending credits in the X-Box 360 version. This is replaced by a soliloquy by Chopin in the first ending of the PS3 version. The Encore mode ending simply has the protagonists repeating quotes without addressing the player. | |

So Long, and Thanks for All the Gear | |
| Eternal Sonata (Video Game) / int_23cb7c45 | comment |
So Long, and Thanks for All the Gear: There are numerous instances where you switch between different groups of party members. Whenever you do, the party members that are left behind keep whatever equipment they have for the time being and you don't get it back until they rejoin. Not a problem with weapons, since each character has their own unique type, but definitely troublesome with accessories and armor and particularly egregious if you choose to Crescendo and Serenade for the final boss battle of Lament Mirror in the PS3 version, since you don't get them back for two chapters. Don't even think about equipping anything good to Claves, who dies at the end of Chapter 3. Though she can rejoin if you visit Mysterious Unison in Chapter 7, at which point you can finally get back anything that was equipped. | |

In Medias Res | |
| Eternal Sonata (Video Game) / int_2534ee67 | comment |
In Medias Res: Subverted at the very beginning. The player is lead to believe they will see the first scene in the game again later, as it appears to be set in the future. However, due to the game's "Groundhog Day" Loop this is actually before the game chronologically. Played straight with the Baroque sequence. You begin this portion of the game with Beat and Polka in an outside courtyard area of Baroque Castle and then go into a Flash Back sequence involving how they got rescued by a Baroque ship and then fought off a ship full of them (at which point the items you collect on the ship suddenly appear in your inventory). | |

Palette Swap | |
| Eternal Sonata (Video Game) / int_2557e3a9 | comment |
Palette Swap: Heinously used to turn a roster of about thirty types of monsters into seventy. Also used to turn early game bosses into mini bosses in the Final Dungeon. In the PlayStation 3 Updated Re-release, March Lamp Shades this when after the party defeats the White Jewel in the Double Reed Tower; she notes that its appearance was similar to a monster in the Agogo Forest (the Baby Dragon fought by Allegretto and Beat), so she examined it and found that the texture of its hide was different and a lot more durable. Technically this applies to March and Salsa also, but it 's forgivable considering they're twins. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Eternal Sonata (Video Game) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: A most curious meta example. In the Scrapbook bonus included in the PlayStation 3 Updated Re-release of Eternal Sonata, there's a picture called "No way!" in which Frederic appears to have a ghostly hand on his shoulder and Allegretto, who took the photo, is all "W-What's that on Frederic's shoulder?" In one of the scenes following a boss fight in the Double Reed Tower, Allegretto makes fun of Beat's camera by suggesting that it could take pictures of ghosts. The curious thing, though, was that this scene was only in the Xbox 360 version and replaced by something else entirely in the PlayStation 3 one. | |

Stable Time Loop | |
| Eternal Sonata (Video Game) / int_37690091 | comment |
Stable Time Loop: The game gradually reveals that everyone has made this journey before. At the end, Polka casts herself off a cliff only to emerge as a little girl falling from the sky into her mother's arms, where she repeats the past seven or so years of her life all over again. Only Chopin's death breaks the cycle. This also explains the extraordinarily high volume of fortunes on the tree near the end of the game in a place that would be implausible for average people to venture; they're all Polka's fortunes. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Eternal Sonata (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending/Downer Ending: Chopin finally chooses to believe that his dreamworld is real, which breaks the Stable Time Loop it's trapped in and allows Polka and the rest to live in a new future. However, this causes him to 'die' in our reality, leaving behind the people in the real world who still care about him. The start of the final credits where Chopin's spirit leaves his body, walks over to his piano, and accompanies the ending theme can be seen a symbol of how he lives on in the real world through his music. Whether the ending is the former or the latter is dependent on the individual and how "real" they see the dream world in comparison to Chopin's conclusion. | |

Utopia Justifies the Means: Count Waltz made the zombie cure the only one the general public could afford and ruined the Agogo Forest while making them, sure, but he did make a miracle cure. He even invoked this in the PS3 version during his "The Reason You Suck" Speech. | |

Five-Bad Band: Waltz and his associates make up one: Big Bad: Waltz is the ruler and the one with the Evil Plan. The Dragon: Legato appears to be the Number Two and the one who receives Waltz's orders for the rest. In the PS3 version he literally becomes Waltz's dragon and most powerful minion. The Brute: Tuba is a low ranking and dim-witted officer who beats up people Waltz wants him too. The Evil Genius: Fugue is the one responsible for investigating the location of glowing Agogos and wears High-Class Glass. The Dark Chick: Rondo is the sole female in the group and acts as a spy and enforcer. | |

Played straight with the Baroque sequence. You begin this portion of the game with Beat and Polka in an outside courtyard area of Baroque Castle and then go into a Flash Back sequence involving how they got rescued by a Baroque ship and then fought off a ship full of them (at which point the items you collect on the ship suddenly appear in your inventory). | |

Artistic License – History | |
| Eternal Sonata (Video Game) / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: Chopin uses a conductor's baton as a weapon. In real life, Chopin was not a conductor, just a (phenominally talented) pianist; any conducting that he would have done would have been at the piano, and thus done without a baton. The game makes a strong reference to Chopin's younger sister Emilia and the PlayStation 3 version goes further by having him lament Emilia's fate (she died when she was 14, Polka's age) in the opening and having a possible ending sequence in which he addresses a soliloquy to Emilia. There is little evidence of the sort of relationship Chopin had with Emilia; certainly not enough to provide a historical justification for lines such as "Emilia, I have never once forgotten you. Who would have thought that my memories of you, would create a world as vibrant and alive as this one is?" | |

Save Scumming | |
| Eternal Sonata (Video Game) / int_5cfeb43f | comment |
Save Scumming: Poison status is extremely useful against bosses that are affected by it and can be inflicted by using an item. Not only does it cause them to lose HP at the beginning of each turn, but it also causes them to stagger, lessening the amount of time they have to attack your party. Bosses that are affected by it, however, are also generally resistant to it, meaning there's a fair chance that the item won't inflict it. Fortunately, however, there is always a save before a boss, meaning that you can just reset until you get the result you want. | |

Nintendo Hard | |
| Eternal Sonata (Video Game) / int_62259825 | comment |
Nintendo Hard: Many elements of the battle system have been altered in the PlayStation 3 Updated Re-release to remove things that were easy in Xbox 360. Both roaming enemies and bosses give less EXP, bosses often substantially less. Beat's photos are harder to get Rank A and while in the original even Rank C sold for a lot of gold, in the update the best Rank A generally sell for less than a Rank C of the same monster from the original. Characters learn certain Special Attacks at different levels (usually, though not always, ones less favorable to the player) and one of the most painful - Angel Trumpets (the main items used for reviving) carry a weight of three in the item set instead of two. | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation | |
| Eternal Sonata (Video Game) / int_6320eced | comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation: It's said that nobody is buying floral powder from Tenuto anymore because of the cheapness of the mineral powder. Yet just about every store in the game that sells items to your party carries healing powers that are described as powders made from flowers from Tenuto. This sort of segregation is probably also the reason why, once your party has a massive amount of Gold, Allegretto and Beat don't hand a bunch of it over to the kids in the sewers so they don't have to live there anymore. This is also the main reason why Allegretto can't stop mocking Beat's obsession with photography, even though 12 haphazard shots of any random monster nets you more Gold than he's probably seen in a year, maybe even his entire life. Even if you go through the trouble of getting Claves back from the bonus dungeon Mysterious Unison, the game basically acts as if she isn't there for any few remaining scenes in which her presence would be a factor, including the game's ending sequence. In fact, the only time this isn't true is in the Updated Re-release exclusive bonus dungeon in which you can get an altered scene with her presence in the party. | |

| Eternal Sonata (Video Game) / int_7a08e8d1 | comment |
They Call Me Mister Tibbs: When the party first meets Crescendo, Beat has trouble pronouncing his name, so he suggests that he could call him "Captain," since he's the captain of the Baroque ship. Crescendo chuckles and says that the party may feel free to call him whatever they like. After they learn that he's a prince, Beat and Salsa continue to refer to him as "the Captain," even though Polka states "You two need to stop calling him the captain. You should call him Prince Crescendo for he is the Prince of Baroque." | |

Too Awesome to Use | |
| Eternal Sonata (Video Game) / int_7d561d58 | comment |
Too Awesome to Use: The Saint's Mirror item, which revives anyone that is KOed and restores them to full HP. There was only to be found normally as treasure in the main gameplay. Another was available as a drop from a boss fought only in Encore Mode. While there was a regular enemy that dropped them in the Bonus Dungeon, Mysterious Unison, it was an extremely rare drop. Further complicating things in the original Xbox 360 version was that they carried an item weight of 10. The PlayStation 3 version changed this to 2, making their inclusion in your inventory at least more practical. | |

That Wasn't a Request: Averted in the original Xbox 360 version where he demands that the party surrender Polka and she surrenders herself right away. In the PS3 version the party has realized that it's not really Polka that Waltz is after, but rather the glowing agogos, and Polka initially refuses Count Waltz's "request." | |

Red Oni, Blue Oni: Salsa {red; aggressive, loud etc) and March {blue; friendly, soft-spoken, etc). Even their hair are the respective colors! March's Blue Oni tendencies are even more pronounced in the PlayStation 3 Updated Re-release - there are several references to her being passionate about research that aren't present in the Xbox 360 version. | |

Joke Item: Most of the EZI items areuseless, or worse, do harm to your characters.

If you have the PS3 version, they are just something to collect for fun, as this version doesn't connect to the PlayStation Network. | |

Irrelevant Sidequest | |
| Eternal Sonata (Video Game) / int_940b3c0 | comment |
Irrelevant Sidequest: There's a fairly extensive trading sidequest early in the game that ultimately results in nothing more than a key to a temple that can easily be obtained by simpler means. The only upshot is you get to keep a minor accessory that you would otherwise be forced to give up. What's worse, you ultimately end up not needing the key in question, but the plot demands that you obtain it anyway. The Score Piece sidequest is entirely unconnected to the plot of the game. | |

Odd Name Out: Baroque City, while still musically relevant, stands out among Forte, (sus)Tenuto, Ritardando, and Andantino as a style of music, rather than a musical direction. The Hanon Hills also count, as the locations are generally named after musical terms of some sort, but these are actually a tribute a person— Charlie Louis Hanon, a famous French piano pedagogue, who is known for a series of training exercises for pianists. | |

Salsa is not amused, but Crescendo says that it's fine, that they don't owe him anything. Later, however, when a pirate ship shows up to menace the Baroque Ship, the party goes aboard to fight off the pirates. | |

Boss Bonanza | |
| Eternal Sonata (Video Game) / int_bc0f0e23 | comment |
Boss Bonanza: The game generally only pits you against one or two bosses per chapter. The final chapter requires you to defeat a Dual Boss to earn the right to enter the Double Reed Tower of Sand, which is two towers, each of which must be ascended twice with a boss fight on each ascent. This lets you fight the apparent final boss (another Dual Boss in the PS3 version). The real Final Boss shows up shortly thereafter. | |

Required Party Member: For some boss battles, a particular character will automatically force out the person in the 3rd party slot if they're not already in the party. For this reason, it's always best to make sure your healer isn't in that slot. The game will also do the opposite on 3 occasions, forcing a member out and being replaced by whoever's in the 4th slot. It does this for the final boss, of all things. | |

Nice Hat: Chopin wears a stylish top hat, complete with plucked feathers in the brim. Salsa wears a fancy pirate's hat which is her pride and joy. Prior to acquiring this, she wore a different hat that looked similar but didn't have the pirate's skull on it. She is forced to go hatless a couple of times during the game - first when she heads off to Forte and leaves her hat behind and later when her hat gets swept away in the Fusion River, which eventually leads to it being replaced by the pirate hat. | |

She asks Frederic why he doesn't use his magic powers to magic up a steak for them. He replies that "Magic is not a tool of convenience," and continues that even if such a thing were possible, their first thought should be of the children starving in the cities. Salsa is not persuaded by this logical argument and breaks down in a tantrum, causing Frederic to Face Palm. | |

Polka and Frederic, however, note that he's studying magic and quickly explain that they're both magic users, delighting him as he rarely gets to meet live magic users, and he reveals a lot of interesting information. | |

Dub Name Change | |
| Eternal Sonata (Video Game) / int_e2c4b927 | comment |
Dub Name Change: From Japanese to English, Jitterbug's name is changed to Jazz, but the other names are kept the change (although in Japanese they call him Chopin, while in English they call him Frederick). However, if you play the game using the French on-screen text, a number of other characters change names. For your side, Beat becomes Piccolo, Viola is Harpe, Falsetto is Mazurka. (A mazurka is a type of Polish folk dance and Chopin composed several of them, one of which can be listened to on a piano in the tavern in Forte.) Serenade's poodle puppy changes from Minuet to Menuet. Oh, and Frederic and Serenade both gain accent marks over the "e"s in their names. For the baddies, Fugue becomes Staccato, Guitar is Banjo, Rondo is Rumba, and Count Waltz, of course, becomes Comte Valse. Incidentally, Jazz is still Jazz. A number of the attack names change, e.g. Orange Cure and Earth Growth to Orange Glow and Earth Heal for Polka. For Princess Serenade they decided to change her "Word:" skills to "Verbum:". | |

FakeDifficulty | |
| Eternal Sonata (Video Game) / int_e4e86215 | comment |
Fake Difficulty: Start the Bonus Dungeon and you will unlock Party Level 6 which allows you to chain up to 6 special attacks. The catch? Every time you use one, the button's mapping changes randomly, meaning that you should un-memorize the controller's mapping. It only happens whenever one uses a skill, not at every button press like a number of descriptions set it up to be. note Even then, it only changes with skill usage when executing Harmony Chains - if one doesn't use those, then it doesn't change at all. Furthermore, the item button always remains the same, so it's only the three other command buttons that change. It also resets to the default after each battle. As long as one remains calm (and remembers to use that map at the bottom of the screen that shows what button does what), they can reasonably keep up with a changing button layout. Plus, the benefits outweigh the detriments (carrying Echoes over between battles and an increase in Harmony Chain size from 3 to 6 at the cost of one less second of action time and Damn You, Muscle Memory! is a good deal). | |

Speaks Fluent Animal: Part of the second trading sidequest involves finding the ingredients for a magic candy that allows one to talk to animals, which you ultimately give to an item merchant who wants to be able to talk to his horse. (Absurd! No one can talk to a horse, of course!) Also, there's a woman in Baroque you can help out whose husband has disappeared into the Sharp Mountains. Viola is somehow able to understand a dog whose barking "tells" her that the husband is in danger and needs help. | |

Instant Messenger Pigeon: Claves sends a dove to Baroque to deliver the message to Prince Crescendo that Princess Serenade is a Forte spy. Not only does the dove make it safely, but it survives the bitter cold to land neatly upon the prince's window. | |

Arbitrary Headcount Limit | |
| Eternal Sonata (Video Game) / int_f3cf30d9 | comment |
Arbitrary Headcount Limit: The party size climbs to ten in the 360 version, and a rather large twelve in the PS3 version, possibly a record for any RPG not named Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Cross, Radiata Stories, or Suikoden, but you'll only ever have three characters in the active battling party. | |

Would Hit a Girl | |
| Eternal Sonata (Video Game) / int_f42f96fa | comment |
Would Hit a Girl: Averted even outside of battle. In one particular cutscene, Jazz slaps Falsetto. You don't hate him for it because it comes across more as a Get a Hold of Yourself, Man! than abuse and also because he hugs her afterword. | |

Reverse Psychology | |
| Eternal Sonata (Video Game) / int_f7588306 | comment |
Reverse Psychology: in the PlayStation 3 Updated Re-release Waltz sensibly orders his dragons to take out the party. Since trying to take on a group of dragons would be a very bad idea, Salsa and March goad him by telling him that the party is "under the protection of the glowing agogos," with Viola noting that they've already defeated all of his other "little henchmen." This is successful in convincing Count Waltz to decide "If those bumbling idiots couldn't manage it, then why don't we see what I can do!" | |

The Very Definitely Final Dungeon: Double Reed Tower is beautiful and ethereal and you will know that it is the final dungeon before you even step foot in it. Unfortunately it is also repetitive as one must climb up two separate, yet identical towers and then back down both. | |

Beware the Nice Ones | |
| Eternal Sonata (Video Game) / int_fccd06b6 | comment |
Beware the Nice Ones: Just because the nice girles are wearing frilly dresses doesn't mean you should underestimate them. Polka is sweet and kind, but is prone to shouting "Stay out of my way!" as she casts her area effect Nuke Spells. March is sweeter and kinder, and can at higher levels effortlessly cut through enemies like a hot knife through butter. It's advisable not to get on Beat's bad side either. Tuba learned that the hard way. | |

Talking Is a Free Action: For any character uttering one of their soliloquys prior to launching a charged-up Special Attack, the Action Gauge stops cold. This is a good thing, since a couple of these soliloquys take longer for them to say than a full turn of the Action Gauge. | |
