Chopin to star in an RPG

It's not often that we show specifically a video game on MKZ. Perhaps once in a while we would show something related to video games such as music, celebs playing video games, fine arts and even figure skating. But if you feel that RPGs are a bit too DnD or medieval, and for you piano heads who have had to labour through many of Frédéric Chopin's piano works, then lo and behold Chopin himself is going to get a video game with him as the main character.

Here are some new images of Bandai Namco and Tri-crescendo's Xbox 360 original RPG Trusty Bell: Chopin's Dream. From the producer of Star Ocean 3 and Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria. The story take place in a dream world which centers around the piano composer Frederic Chopin, who died at the age of 39 due to sickness. Three hours prior to his death, Chopin entered a dream fairy-tale land, which inhabited by people with incurable diseases, who also have magical power.

In the dream world, Chopin meet a young girl named Polka, who lives in the Village of Tenuto. Polka also has a dying disease, her boyfriend Allegretto is searching for ways to convert Polka's magical power to help cure her disease.

Trusty Bell: Chopin's Dream will have a complex combo based battle system similar to Star Ocean 3, but this game also make use of musical elements.

And trust me when I say this game is going to be good and not just a novelty. Valkyrie Profile and Star Ocean are excellent series.
