Famitsu's sales charts are reporting that Trusty Bell Reprise did about 30,000 in sales the week of 15-21 (remember, the game didn't come out until the 18th, so that's not a whole week). Not bad but not great either. The original Trusty Bell sold something like 47k the first week, though I am unable to find whether that's the first full week of ( Read more... )

Wonder of wonders, I heard that Eternal Sonata actually has DUAL VOICE. No way. An RPG with dual voice?

There's also stuff like Treasure ( Read more... )

So I've been trying to do a second playthrough of Trusty Bell to do all the special bonus quests, but ( Read more... )

Well, I finished the bonus dungeon and then finished Trusty Bell again. It didn't seem like it changed the ending, though... though it does give you some 'accomplishments' (pretty pointless things you get to keep on your record for Live).

So I was going along the bonus dungeon for Trusty Bell, thinking "man, this thing is pretty easy for a bonus dungeon". Then I got to Floor 11.

So um... Trusty Bell last boss... (I don't know if you want to watch this, maiki! DX ( Read more... )
