Eternal Sonata/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Fan-Preferred Couple]] - Chopin and Polka have better chemistry than the [[Official Couple]]...despite the fact A) she's analogous to his real-life [[Dead Little Sister]], and B) he's twenty-five years older. A lot of this depends on what version you're playing, though. The [[PlayStation 3]] [[Updated Rerelease]] goes a long way to improve the chemistry between Allegretto and Polka by adding a number of new interactions between them and compleltely altering others. One of the most notable is that in the [[Xbox 360]] release, Allegretto does not so much as mention Polka when Beat and Frederic first return to Ritardando. In the PS3 version, however, he most certainly does ask after her and then starts to head off to Tenuto to go after her before grudgingly agreeing to stay and give Frederic a tour of the town. Later, when he actually does slip away on his own, in the PS3 version he shows great concern for Polka's health, as well as frustration at the idea that she doesn't want to do things for herself. In the [[X BoxXbox]] scene, he doesn't express any concern about her illness and instead of the sequence being about his feelings for Polka, it's just a lot of moralizing about the suspicious nature of human beings.

* [[Game Breaker]] - Harmony Chains at Party Level 6 can be exploited to greatly reduce almost all difficulty you may encounter after that point. Level up Polka to 48 (40 in the [[Play StationPlayStation]] 3 version) so that she learns Blossom Shower and, for her sake, since she is admittedly squishy, keep her as far away from the action as possible and in sunlight. Once you're able to consistently pull off a 5 or 6 Harmony Chain, Polka can use Blossom Shower to heal everyone for a sizable amount at infinite range every turn. It also works with Viola and her Heal Arrow, but the trade off is that while Viola can deal absolutely absurd damage from long-range, Heal Arrow isn't as powerful as Blossom Shower.

* [[What an Idiot!]] - Prince Crescendo's plan to {{spoiler|surrender himself to [[Card-Carrying Villain]] Count Waltz}} would, rather than ending the war peacefully, {{spoiler|have allowed Forte to invade a weakened and confused Baroque}}. Everyone else seems to understand this, and tells him so. Although that's nothing compared to what happens next: Count Waltz, {{spoiler|rather than ordering his men to fire and kill the heroes, instead decides to take them all on himself for 'fun', accompanied only by a dragon that's extremely easy to defeat. He is then brutally killed. Unless you're playing the [~[[[[PlayStation 3]]~]]] version, in which case he survives.}}

** And then {{spoiler|Waltz's advisor}} decides to drink the {{spoiler|super mineral powder}} and turn himself into a giant monster for no apparent reason, even though he knows ''it will eventually kill him'' even if the heroes didn't. {{spoiler|Unless you're playing the [~[[[[PlayStation 3]]~]]] version, in which case, it is Count Waltz who orders him to drink it.}}
