If there's one thing I regret about my time at Sony Gamer's Day last week, it's that I didn't have the opportunity to use any of it to get really in-depth on White Knight Chronicles. The game is coming from Level-5 this winter and I love so many of their games. At the same time, the online multiplayer has me wary and I wish I had gathered more information about it. There was just so much to do and not nearly enough time to do it in.
That doesn't mean that I can't impart upon you the wisdom of these screenshots which Sony released today. I'll give them credit for one thing: They sure have made a pretty game. The battle system involving real-time combat and chaining combo attacks does intrigue me. I just don't know that I'd want to play an RPG with another person.
At any rate, there's some damn good eye candy available here. Check out the gallery for more.

Don't get me wrong, I hope its a good game. Problem is it has little we haven't seen before to excite. Guess it brings home what Yoichi from Sqaure was saying, japanese developers are running out of ideas and need new blood.
A monster?!!
In MY jRPG??????
When I first saw the trailer some years ago, the battle system in the gameplay almost blew my mind. It looked so fluid. But now, after seeing some RPGs and Final Fantasy 13 do it, it's really "meh" now.
i believe delay may be due to localization (ie translating to english)?
like the others, was excited but taking too long to be released. bargain bin here too.
Am I gonna have to rape Godzilla to get these games released here?
