Level 5’s upcoming PlayStation 3-exclusive RPG White Knight Chronicles will feature online play. Aside from the announcement, there are some decent details backing it up.
The mode has been dubbed in Japan as “Live Part,” which is described by IGN as a “cooperative online quest mode.” The mode isn’t a true cooperative play experience, but it does have some pretty cool features. Live Play will enable four players to simultaneously take on quests and the character you create for the mode will be translated into the single player as an additional party member. Lobbies, chat, and matchmaking have also been confirmed, but the application of them is still wholly unknown.
Online play always sounds interesting, but I wonder if it’s worth the effort. After struggling through Two Worlds online component I’ve become somewhat down on the idea. What do you guys think?

I think it would be quite amazing myself. I hope by co-op they mean competitive co-op. Completing quests before other teams and screwing them over as best you can would be nice.
It was the game's fault. But, I still don't see anything special about White Knight. Seems like another RPG to me. Pretty, but a "justa" nonetheless.
