Eternal Sonata is a role-playing game developed by tri-Crescendo and published by Namco Bandai Games, released in 2007 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The game takes place inside a fantastical world imagined by the historical Polish composer Frédéric Chopin during his final hours as he succumbs to tuberculosis, with Chopin himself appearing as a playable character alongside a broader cast. Combat is built around musical themes and character-specific special attacks, while the positioning of characters in light or shadow affects enemy behavior and the types of magic available. The soundtrack weaves together Chopin's classical compositions, performed by pianist Stanislav Bunin, with original music composed and arranged by Motoi Sakuraba. Visually, the game pairs cel-shaded graphics with lush environmental design, and educational cutscenes incorporating real paintings and photographs offer historical context about Chopin's life and work.
