Currently Playstation 3 owners have not been as spoilt for choice when it comes to Role Playing Games, Aside from western RPG's like Elder Scrolls and Fallout 3 you could say the Playstation 3 has been lacking in RPG territory specifically JRPG's(Japanese Role Playing Games). If you look on the other side, the Xbox 360 has been spoilt with the likes of Two Worlds, Lost Odessey, Infinate Undiscovery, Mass Effect, Fable and the list goes on. Each time a big RPG hits 360 in Japan we witness their sales boost somewhat, and in this case Level 5's White Knight Chronicles has become an important title for Playstation 3.
Grab your longsword, shield and round up the fantasy archetypes - there are Ice Dragons afoot!

I am kicking things off by going back to a familiar well here - with a song from the Neverwinter Nights soundtrack. This is still arguably one of my favorite music scores in a video game ever, but I decided to lead off with it and then create something of a theme as I decided to pull all of this edition's songs from RPG games.
Neverwinter Nights (PC) - Battle - Forest Boss
I touched on the somewhat mystical quality of another Neverwinter Nights song last week when discussing City Docks Day. There were a lot of really good battle tunes in this one, but the Forest Boss song always stood out in my mind. The battle itself was not even the most memorable one, but right around the one minute mark, it reaches an epic level that just stuck with me.

B-But FFXII isn't last-gen. I'd love to see it remastered regardless though. Brilliantly fun game, I just disliked the story unfortunately.
I really would like to see a HD Remaster of both Twilight Princess & Skyward Sword. Those games deserve to be in HD
Are you saying that they could make Ni no Kuni look even better, because I would like to see that.
Yeah it probably will. I dunno why people are banking on it being so good. I know Level 5 are good devs and although it looks quite good that doesn't mean anything. It won't be marketed in the West and will flop hard. They'll go insane in Japan tho...Either way FF13 is gonna be about 10 times better. Spiteful PS3 owners who formerly heralded FF13 as something amazing forget that it still will be. Now that they're weeping over the fact it's not exclusive or gonna turn the console war around they somehow think it's not gonna be immense (which it will be). Instead Versus will be amazing and FF13 will be poor lol. Somehow doubt that
day one for me
When did level 5 say Sony could acquire them if WKC is a hit?
You'll see soon inoff, they have talked about this for quite some time now. Damn its gonna be f!cking sweet.
