Along the journey you will meet a wide cast of characters, all of whose names are derived from musical terms (Allegretto, Beat, etc.) and have very memorab...[More] |

| I have no Playstation, PS2, 3, or PSP. At first, I only has the Wii and DS, which barely, as far as I can see, have any good RPG games.

And Eternal Sonata is a dream come true.
