Back in 2006, Level 5 announced a new RPG by the name of White Knight Story. Since then, the name has changed to White Knight Chronicles and is due to release in the states this February as White Knight Chronicles: International Edition.
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.
story was ok, but very unlike the other ff storylines where there is a clear villian.
i just want the game for vita/ps4. international zodiac version would be interesting to play but i hope that the original glitches(?) are still there.
i had more fun breaking the game then playing the game properly.
would also be cool if they added dual wielding. would make some rare weapons actually useful.
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.
they could easily make that game look better. just make it as detailed as the animation. the 3d models had a lot less detail.
not saying it didnt look nice, just saying it could be improved a lot.
what i want to see:
Patapon HD Collection
FFIX & FFVII Remastered
MadWorld HD
Thrasher:Skate&Destroy HD
EA Skate series HD
Lumines Collection
VibRibbon remastered
Mario Galaxy 1&2 Remastered
BF1942 Remastered
Funny how they try to call White Knight Chronicles a mediocre title and then go on to say that it's against a top tier RPG like FF13 when FF13 is the real mediocre title (averaging about a 6/10 and being the worst game in the FF series seeing as how it's already being rated worse than FFX-2 which USED to be the worst game in the series). Not to mention WKC plays more like a RPG compared to the linear action game that FF13 is.
In this case I would say WKC is the top tier title and if their basically saying that WKC going up against FF13 is stupid (despite them being a month apart by the way) then I say a mediocre title like FF13 (based on import previews & reviews) is even more retarded for going up against God of War 3 in the same month.
You can debate all you want about it by saying the target audience isn't the same but you could say the same thing about WKC compared to FF13 as one will play like a RPG and the other will play like a action game. As far as WKC & FF13 goes, one game is targeted towards people who want to play a good RPG while the other is targeted to people who will buy anything with a brand name slapped across it.
meh, this game looks pretty epic to me, regardless of what these so-called rpg sites say. I'm still getting both this and FFXIII. if the advertising of this game was better I would probably be more hyped by this game than FFXIII. both are a must buy for me though.
i trust level-5. has never let me down. this writer must be a sore-lore xbot. the ps3 is getting jRPG's now and the crapbox is dead.
Does it have dual track?
If it weren't for the fact that RPGamer covered some of the more obscure titles out there the site wouldn't be worth visiting what with the lousy writers they keep on staff. That said I do have some reservations about White Knight. From some of the import reviews I read it definitely lacked polish. I know Level 5 has a good track record and I was a fan of the Dark Cloud series as well as of Dragon Quest VIII but I was disappointed with Rogue Galaxy. Either way I'm going to rent it first to see if it hooks me before buying it.
As for FFXIII, it's the first FF game that I'm not at all excited about. Call me crazy but I'm more interested in ME2, White Knight and Alpha Protocol than FF13.
