Looks like it'll be the first major RPG for the PS3... Can't wait for it.

Being developed by Level 5, who also developed one of my favorite PS2 RPGs, Dark Cloud.

Looks to me like a blend of Star Ocean, Shadow of the Colossus, Final Fantasy, and Dark Cloud 2...

Story from wikipedia:

Quote:
 
The story of White Knight Chronicles begins in the kingdom of Balandor, where a princess's coming-of-age banquet is raided by an evil Corporation called Wizard. A boy called Leonard grabs the princess's hand and leads her to safety in the castle cellars, where he finds a strange suit of armor that transforms him into the White Knight – an ancient warrior with the strength to defeat the Wizard corporation forces. Leonard’s transformation into a mighty hero, the White Knight, is the beginning of a life-changing fantasy experience, fighting against the fiercest enemies.

Anyone else hear about it before this?

I was interested but once again, I'm turned off by the turn-based combat.

This game also supports multiplayer, IIRC it's up to 4 players, it's scheduled for a 25th December Japanese release date and sometime early 2009 for the rest of us.

Dang the cover is sexy! :lol: Since I usually get lost when I played JP version of RPGs (not JRPGs), I'm gonna wait for the EN version. Do hope it's as good as this one!

And I heard the Online would use the same world as offline does. Can't remember where I saw that though. But this is one of my top games to get next year.

Oh I forgot to mention one crucial thing at the beginning of the game you will be asked to make a new character designing their appearance etc. Now if you think this is your main character you would be mistaken, he/her actually shows up in the single player game and joins the party not only that but that is the character you will use online.

Online will be similar to single player it takes place in the same world and with certain quests from the main game appearing in it but also custom ones as well. The lobby will be similar to HOME where you can walk around as your avatar, doing crazy dances I guess. :D

This is what I'm raelly interested in. How indepth can they be (appearance and fighting style), can we have multiple characters for different saves, etc. If we can only have 1 creation I dunno what I'll do for online....awesome cute loli or badass warrior guy.

Appearance.... is very in depth look it up at gametrailers you can make just about any one, but I'm not sure on class, fighting style etc.

Same here, but I've also heard that its an action RPG, and it certainly doesn't look turn based from the gameplay videos.... unless it's like Eternal Sonata, in which case meh...

If it does turn out to be good though, I'm looking forward to the online aspect more than anything. So you can be sure you'll see me on if it's an action RPG

Some new screens of Shirokishi Monogatari/White Knight Chronicles, the 4th pic is by far the most amazing. :o

Wooo under a month to go now!! There's a interesting rumour doing the rounds at the moment, that if WKC is a success that Sony will buy Level 5 or at least sign a contract to have them develop games exclusively for Sony... don't know how true it is but Level 5 have always maintained a very close relationship with Sony regardless so good news for us Sony JRPG fans I guess.

Next up I want Rogue Galaxy 2! lol

That's what I've heard too... and it they do makes games exclusive to Sony (which would mean PS3+PS2+PSP), would that mean Professor Layton for PSP? :XD

Other than professor layton and Dragon Quest, does Level-5 make anything for nintendo at all? Cause I know they won't do anything with microsoft after the bull MS gave them with that cancelled MMO.

WKC has sold 131,000 in the first day of release! Not bad when the game got a 29 from Famitsu ^_^ And if you look at the charts, it's quite good for a new IP (since the rest are newer versions of previous games and GM is basically DW/SW too) for the PS3 in Japan ^_^

There should be a lot of details at E3, but so far the translation looks to be coming along nicely. Expect a release date announcement as well.

I've heard it is currently scheduled for a Q1 2010 release, which is disappointing. I was hoping it would be out before October. Oh well, at least we'll get Demon's Souls this Fall.

*Sigh* Level-5 has actually said a sequel is in the works, maybe it will beat the western release of WKC lol!!

Anyway in Japan WKC is getting a massive update called 2nd wave, in addition to pretty much more of everything, you can also make your own town now and populate it with NPCs (Dark Cloud much??).

OMG WKC2!!!

And the first one isn't even out for us yet... I don't know whether to laugh or cry >_>

To be fair the NA port of WKC looks great, seriously Level-5 are adding an absolute bucket load of new content +all the DLC expansion stuff from the Japanese version. But still it shouldn't of takent so long....

We're drowning in information and starving for knowledge
[ *  *  *  * ]
Is there any information about updates since the initial release of WKC that will be included in the NA release (such as the "2nd wave")? Some DLC? I haven't found anything, but with sources like Dogpile and Searchalot I'm not expecting to find much useful information.
