Level 5's
Shirokishi Monogatari (which you might know better as
White Knight Story) is one of those titles that non-PS3 owners shake their fist towards the sky at. Early on in the wave of PS3 promotional videos, the short glimpse of gameplay from Tokyo Game Show 2006 had RPG fans salivating, and lately eyes have been on Sony's Japan Studio as a 2007 Japanese release is planned.
A new video has just came out of Sony Japan, and those same salivating RPG fans may now flip over on their backs and begin to sieze, as this new footage looks incredible. We now get to see the gorgeous screenshots from
Shirokishi's Japanese we page in motion, and from the looks of it, Level 5 has created an epic game.
New footage is nice to see as we still don't know much about this game. Let's hope that Sony has something prepared for us at the 2007 Tokyo Game Show.

I could make a snide remark about the PS3 only being capable of looking good and failing to deliver compelling gameplay, hence the priorities, but I won't. Can we please get some gameplay details/footage/hands on before we start declaring games as must own titles for a system?
Please?
RJG - fair enough, but the trailers-turned-gameplay paid off fine for MGS4. I'm willing to bet it will for this game, too.
Also, 'must have' is really subjective. In this blogger's mind, this is already a 'must have'. Definitely not stating it as fact.
vigor - I hope so. I really hope so.

While as awsome that video was I do agree I hope we get to see ingame footage + battle strategy at work. I am a tad tired of the over-milked FF franchise so a game like this could be the remedy.
That vid underdog linked to was actually far more impressive to me. Rather than just the same generic FMV that could be from pretty much any crpg from the past decade, the actual gameplay and combat looks pretty damn promising. Not enough to make me want a ps3 yet though, not by a long shot.
Level 5 has always put out rock-solid RPGs ever since Dark Cloud 2. I'm excited for this one.
Looks pretty tight. I'll be keeping my eye on this game from now on.
