Eternal Sonata, originally released as Trusty Bell: Chopin no Yume in Japan, is a JRPG originally released for the Xbox 360 in 2007. The title was released in 2008 for the PlayStation 3 with a number of new features, including two bonus dungeons, two characters featured in the previous edition made playable, and a number of key changes and additions to the game's story, including altered opening and ending sequences. The original version connects to Xbox Live and makes use of the Achievements system, but the PlayStation 3 version was released before the advent of the PlayStation Network and therefore fails to utilize the Trophy system. No patch was ever released.
Story[]
As famous classical composer Frederic Chopin lies on his deathbed, he enters a world that he believes to be entirely his dream. There, he meets a girl named Polka who is fated to die from a terminal illness and is the same age, 14, that his sister Emilia was when she passed away. The two are soon joined by a number of other characters, who travel to Forte City to confront the region's count about mineral powder, a dangerous substance that is being marketed as a healing agent, but is actually slowly driving people insane. As they journey, they discover a conspiracy much deeper than they could have imagined, and Frederic becomes determined to save the girl who so resembles his sister.
