As anyone experienced in the JRPG market will tell you, they are completely different genres. One is the plain RPG, and its focused mostly on casuals, with a much wider appeal. Go for this if you plan spending time with a more traditional RPG.
Valkyira Chronicles belongs to the already closed community of SJRPGs, which are not easy games, require lot of time in customization, a single battle can be extremely long, which kills the sense of "progress" for some gamers, and they are not easy to get into.
So, try both demos, and decide for yourself if you are just waiting to decide based on the reviews. Im getting both, my copy of Eternal Sonata should be arriving next week and I already ordered VC for its release date. But from what Ive tried, Valkyria crushes Eternal Sonata as a game, both in its gameplay, graphics and musical departments (though the tracks in Eternal Sonata are really really good).
Try Valkyria Chronicles demo you wont be dissapointed its on the US psn store it also has the cell shaded graphics VC>ES in graphics for sureI feel depressed :( because no rpg games on PS3. I just ES demo version PSN on PS3. I feel heal. I want ES and beautiful 2D cell shade graphic. I ordered it from internet videogame shop. :D

Eternal Sonata has turn based hack and slash combat and a powerful story about a dying man's fever dream.
Valkyrie Chronicles (valkyrie intentionally spelled correctly) has turn based weapon combat and probably has a story of some sort, who knows. it's got the guy who did Skies of Arcadia working on it though.
in short, if you played both the demos and you still can't decide, you are beyond help.
yeah lol i am pinoy but i cant speak tagalog... i know i am a failure haha, i know kumusta and salamat but that about it...
back on topic, I think VC will pull ahead against ES just because of its innovative and new take on SRPG's...Obviously can't comment much on the story yet but I think the visuals go in ES's favor, they seem more vivid and lucrative than VC, IMO.
Eternal Sonata.
Some people will say VC just because it's exclusive though. Just like they did for Disgae. Eternal Sonata has a good story, good pace, good combat...VC looks like it might be a chore.
If I had to pick I'd go VC over ES, but personally I have both. ES is fun so farmeluvulongtime8
I love the old school feel of it. Looks great. Old school to me works good if its still 3D. I cant go back to side scrollers. But a game like this can have the old style look fantastic with these machines. Only the demo so far thow, so who knows?

how do u own both already????
preorder my friend, preorder. yes if you want to be technical I don't own VC yet, but might as well.
Personally, I'm having a great time with Eternal Sonata.
I'll still pick up Valkyria Chronicles when it's released. I don't understand why we have to chose one, I have no doubt Valkyria will be a great game as well.
I wouldn't chose one over another.

Ummm...cause its $64 each. Now if we were talking about which of two friends to save from a flaming volcano we wouldn't choose one or the other. Of course if we had to choose one in that case I would let both die just to be fair.

Since when does a price stop people from buying games? Give me a break.

BTW, 2 games seems pretty good, but all haven't good graphic, ES looks like old school classic ps2 rpg games, VP is a tactic . BUt this is hard to choice, same same, count 1 to 100 and point to 1 game
