On the surface, White Knight Chronicles does a lot of things right. The world and creatures look really good, you can battle a variety of colossal creatures during the single-player campaign or online with some friends, and turn into a giant knight whenever you desire. But there are just too many problems weighing the overall experience down.
Shallow combat and a predictable story make going through the main quest a slog, and the online portion is crippled by the same problems as well as dull objectives that lack variety. The beauty of White Knight Chronicles cannot hide the flaws of this forgettable and often tedious adventure.
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.
Bad news for JRPG fans
but WKC2 is in the works so this criticism can only make that one better
Hahahaha where are the droids now?
Even THE LAST REMNANT scored higher! Hahahahaha!
PS3 it only does flops!
... I was looking forward to this... but I don’t know, maybe I’ll just hold out for Heavy rain until FFXIII. But still, gonna wait for more reviews.
Maybe I should Gamefly it first.
The gameplay was kool at first but half-way through the game i was literally sleeping during boss battles. I'll rent it first and if I like it i'll buy it
