New White Knight Chronicles art and screens trot in photo

Riding piggyback on all of the gamescom excitement that Sony has generated is White Knight Chronicles, that Japanese PS3 RPG that we saw two years ago and grew pretty tired of waiting on.

It may not rejuvenate you, but we have some new screenshots and some awesome artwork for White Knight Chronicles for you today. The screens are a mix of some English-language menu screens and some action and portrait shots of characters. Browse at your leisure. We like the art, though. There's two concept art images, both of which are fantastic. And then there's the bad-ass poster image, seen above. Again, it's not quite enough to get me as excited about the game as I was a couple of years back, but it's nice to look at.

They probably threw these out in hopes that you'd draw a mental connection to the new PS3 Slim. Perhaps they hoped that a reminder of an upcoming RPG would help weigh into your purchase decisions.

Agreed. When I have an extra 500 bucks floating around to buy the system, couple games etc, then i will. this new price drop and slim model are compelling reasons to finally grab one.

Or I could spend that money on something more useful to my daily life :-P

They have to translate and localize a lot. On top of that, they are adding features, tweaking things, etc. to make the NA release the ultimate version(they also did this for Rogue Galaxy).

This game was awesome in 2006, that's BEFORE it's release. Then the Japanese got to play it, and soon after, we all forgot about it, because it sucked a bit. And it STILL hasn't been release in Europe/US. What the HELL is wrong with this game?!

fetusmilk: Like Kradziej said, it sucked a bit. Hopefully they'll make this one not suck a bit since that seems to be the theme for the few JRPGs that have come out this generation and I really don't care for playing them on my PSP.
