1UP | White Knight Chronicles Review

Like a cute kid suddenly thrust into awkward adolescence, Japanese roleplaying games haven't exactly blossomed gracefully into the HD console generation. Games like The Last Remnant and Blue Dragon arrived to middling reviews. Final Fantasy XIII spent half a decade in development before it so much as earned its U.S. release date. And Dragon Quest? Square Enix seems content to keep the series on DS.

[Bungie]

this must be the biggest flop combo in the history on video games

ps3 need some good games for 2010

[Elven6]

You must not have gamed through the 80s or even 90s, I can think of a ton of developers from that era who would have killed for a score like this. ET, Pacman, etc.

Or more recently, Rogue Warrior, Vampire Rain, etc.

[OmarJA-N4G]

Flop or not i'm enjoying this game beside MAG & soon Heavy Rain & i already finished ME2... :)

A month has passed & i'm still waiting for a 360 game. :)

[Man In Black]

2009 was one big combo for the 360, then.

[sak500]

@omardroid

You have to have an xbox360 to wait for a game but since you own a ps3 you must have been the patient kind to wait 3 years into consoles life for any decent games.

[Nineball2112]

" I guess
2009 was one big combo for the 360, then."

Okay, that's funny right there, I don't care who you are.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

2009 vs right now and right now the PS3 has nothing but flops

[Aquanox]

Just imagine for a moment that GT5 flops. Which other game does SOny have other than God of War 3?

[maniacmayhem]

Well i enjoyed InFamous, I also enjoyed Demon's Soul, Valkyrie Chronicles and Disgaea 3.

[Chubear]

Keep playing reviews 360fans while the PS3 base are enjoying a huge variety of exclusive game genres. You just keep playing...er, yeah, you got nothing but multiplats. Ok, scratch that, go back playing PS3 reviews. lol

[maniacmayhem]

Well I'm enjoying Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts, Halo Wars, Left for Dead 2, Mass Effect 1 and soon to be 2 and Gears of War 2

[WildArmed]

the reviews have been quiet disappointing..
but nevertheless, I have extremely hyped that my copy is arriving today.
I guess JRPGs just don't have that 'wow' factor anymore, doesn't matter.
I still <3 JRPGs the most lol

[BeaArthur]

I don't think it has anything to do with the genre, this just doesn't appear to be a very good game. I wouldn't know, I haven't played it but it is getting some pretty average/bad reviews.

[Montrealien]

This is the kind of game you will love if you know what your are getting into. Reviews have little meaning imho on this kinda of game. this reminds me of Too Human, there was so much hate on it, and people attacking it since there was some low review scores, but the fact of the matter was the the people that knew what they where getting into, loved it. Just like White Knight Chronicles.

I tried it a little, seems exactly what it is meant to be, a jrpg and jrpg never review well. but thats not to say that fans of the genre will not love it to death.

[doeman]

what concerns me the most is gameplay. it looks reminiscent to ff12, a game i LOVED because of the gambit system. it made everything quick and easy because you could preset all your attacks.

wkc looks like they tried to do that, but... idk.. it just didn't turn out as "fun"?

[Nineball2112]

Quote: "When I'm in the market for an RPG, it's for a select few reasons: I'm looking for an epic story, rad loot, combat that stimulates the tactical chunks of my brain, and beautiful environments. White Knight Chronicles does none of these things well. To top it all off, the game inexplicably ends after less than 30 hours with most of the major plot points left wholly unresolved. Developer Level 5 has already announced a sequel, but I wonder who they think is lining up to play the follow-up to a mediocre, overly-short RPG?"

Ouch... just ouch.

[paradigmfellow]

Do people realize that this is a year and a half old game. I feel that people are comparing it to modern games that have come out after this game was released first in Japan. I personally love this game.

[kewlkat007]

sheesh...I don't know if it's gonna have strong legs in the west with these reviews but my fav genre currently is in the dumps.

[oli]

i really dont care about reviews, and as far as ive seen alot of ppl havent complained as much as reviewers have.

@paradigmfellow has a point

[baum]

That's gonna be translated to a 40 or something like that in Metacritic, which is another reason why nobody should take Metacritic seriously as it doesn't even have a way of adequately translating letter grades.

[BeaArthur]

baum...maybe they should stop using letter grades then.

[DatNJDom81]

WKC really didn't get my attention. The online looked like it would be fun but besides that it wasnt really catching my attention. Too bad. Maybe when JRPG stop with the "kid saves the world" thing, then we might get better games. Well waiting for FF13vs...................

[beardpapa]

it's strange reading this review from them because wasn't it them that gave a positive remark for the preview hands-on article of WKC?

[yojoe26]

But nonetheless I have played it for over an hour now and have enjoyed EVERY bit of it thus far. It's not breaking any new ground here, but for a rpg fanatic like myself in great need of some rpg love, this game is doing a dang fine job of filling that void. Granted not as well as, say, demon souls, but the combat I definitely like even better than Dragon Age and dragon age scored higher than this. Just saying: If you're like me and are starving for some JRPG goodness then at least give this one a rental or something. Don't just base everything on these reviews.

[DeepInterludium]

Most of the reviews are solely basing their reviews on the single player game. It's like judging PSO based on it's single player component. Some of the early reviews trashing the game probably didn't even play online. It's not the greatest game but it's not horrible as reviews are making it out to be.

[Marceles]

After playing it for a few hours I'd give it a 7.5. It's nothing to be extremely enthusiastic about but it's also nothing to bash either. It reminds me alot of FF12 as far how the pacing of the game is. Other than 7 hit custom combos and transforming there's not really anything else exciting about the fighting in the game. I think the biggest thing will be the online multiplayer sidequests and just leveling up your avatar with friends, but I really can't get into the game where I'm hooked on playing it for a long time as I usually am with RPGs.

[ThanatosDMC]

@ ^

I'm glad the newer JRPG are gonna be like Kingdom Hearts battle system which FFv13 is going to have. Also, those Star Ocean games. Oh well, im still waiting on what people who would have bought it would say after they play for several hours.

[GameGambits]

I'm about 40 hours of game play into this game. I spent 22 hours straight yesterday playing it. Reviewers can go screw themselves.

5/10 from IGN 6/10 from Gamespot and now this? You are telling people with a score like that it's not even worth renting even if you like JRPGs. 100% false and 100% bull crap.

Things worth mentioning this game does well that I doubt reviewers are covering.

1) Battle system is like FF12 with a few extra goodies. If you were a fan of FF12...I get the feeling you didn't care about its story anyway as it was the most dull tale ever told in the FF games. That game was riddled with so much dry dialogue and no emphasis on what was said, but the gameplay was fun. This has that same scenario.

2) The music. JRPG music fans will find some very well placed mood setting songs set into this game. I do wish the battle theme was more up beat, but the rest of the games soundtrack is just as good as Dark Cloud 1 and 2's musical scores.

3) The online, the online, the online! This is the meat and the cheese of this game. Quests will have you doing puzzles in dungeons, exterminating different monster types, transforming stones to make bosses spawn, etc and that's just the first 10 quests. It's great to play it with 3 other buddies you know. I had a great time building up my town thus far with the limited money I have, but it's a great idea they took from Dark Cloud into here. Message boards, and blog posts you can do are also a nice charming quality. It's FUN---you just need at least 1 friend leveling along with you to make the best out of it.

4) Character creator. What other game lets you do THIS MUCH to customize your character with? Yeah not all the hair styles are awesome choices, but the amount of things to tweak took me about an hour and a half to finish my character up with. This is the level of customizability I want from ALL types of RPGs that let you make your own character. I mean I LOVE ME2 and Fallout 3, but the choices were very limited on making your character. I think my brain would implode if I could tweak this much stuff in those games. :)

5) Art design for towns and dungeons is SUPERB! Yeah the graphics aren't FF13 in quality, but speaking as someone who's got 120 hours of play on FF13...that game didn't have this big of dungeons and towns to explore.(obviously) It's a shame people aren't noting how great looking things get later on in game.

Those are 5 things off the top of my head that all put together alone merit this game a 8/10. The 2 points knocked off are easily for poor story, poor dialogue, a lack of difficulty, and of course not letting the character you make have a knight form themselves to tinker with online.

With how much they got right in WKC1 I would be really surprised if WKC2 wasn't a big JRPG hit when it hits. They've laid out some serious ground work and blue prints for a sequel that could blow people away.

If you are a fan of JRPGs in any sense you owe it to yourself to at least rent this game to see what the Japanese were enjoying a year and a half ago.

[creeping judas]

I am surprised by the reviews all over the board. But I will tell anyone listening that this is the best JRPG that I have played this gen. I was ready to not try another one after all the crap (IMO) that has come out so far. But damn this game is fun!!!

[Son_Lee]

I just don't understand. Four hours in and I'm loving this game. I hate MMO-style games and I'm enjoying this. If you want a good JRPG, pick this one up. User reviews will be far higher than press reviews.

[m-s-8-2]

You must be like me, and don't allow another persons opinion to influence yours. I'd been waiting for this game for about 3 years now so I wasn't about to let bad reviews sway me from purchasing it.

Im about 7 hours playtime into the game and have really enjoyed it. The combat at times seems way too easy, and that's about my only real complaint with this game.

[Razgriz]

Frankly, I wasn't looking forward to this game. I'm not fond of online and FFXII look. IMO, Level 5 should make Dark Cloud 3 for PS3.

[MetalGearRising]

This is getting embarrassing for ps3 owners. Even though i don't own a ps3 even i'm feeling sad for them. They just keep getting Flops.

EDIT:
Disagree away children; doesn't just change the fact that 360 has lost 14 games whereas PS3 has lost a mere 1 ( NARUTO )

[truewittness]

those games aren't even that "big", NG was good though. and dead rising 1 is still exclusive, blue dragon's game for the 360 hasn't went anywhere, there was another blue dragon game for the ds, it wasn't the same, i played them both. now "big" games that was lost for the ps3 was
GTA series, devil may cry series, tekken series, FF13, Assassin’s Creed, Virtua Fighter 5 and there is probably more i can't think of.

also, why are you even talking about this??? these posts should be about the White Knight Chronicles Review.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

exclusive_loser that's a lot of sloppy second games. You get our games after they are covered in goo. We get your games on day one Metal Gear, Final Fantasy, Assassins Creed, DMC, Resident Evil and coming soon Agent.

[exclusive_loser]

yes because GTAIV was released on PS3 first not day and date with 360
yes because DMC4 was released on PS3 first not day and date with 360
yes because Tekken 6 was released on PS3 first not day and date with 360
yes because FFXIII is being released on 360 first and not day and date with PS3
yes because Assassin's Creed was released on PS3 first not day and date with 360

o.k. Virtua fighter 5 is an exception which makes that 2

I'm speaking about previous ONLY ON XBOX games being ported to PS3.
Plus before you say- Quantum Theory, is being released the same day as 360, so PS3 hasn't lost anything.

@above
You haven't got MGS4-the 360 CANNOT handle it
You will not be getting AGENT, SONY owns the rights

RE5 is just RE4 in HD-not a traditional RE
FFXIIII has been severely gimped-as in; SE said themselves they cut out a full-game's worth of content. And what have we got left? A game with style but no substance.

[Arnon]

Alone in the dark - PS3 version delayed as stated by developers.
Bioshock - PC/360
Blue Dragon - Exclusive
Dead Rising - Exclusive
Enchanted Arms - Yes
Eternal Sonata - Yes
Lost Planet - Yes
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 - Yes. I think... This was pretty different.
Overlord - PC/360
Saints Row - Exclusive
Star Ocean: The Last Hope - Was never exclusive.
Tales of Vesperia - Yes
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - PC/360
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas - Was never exclusive.

So actually lost:

Enchanted Arms
Eternal Sonata
Lost Planet
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
Tales of Vesperia

I'm not entirely sure how anything you mentioned has anything to do with the score of White Knight Chronicles, though. Also, you're wrong. All the games that he mentioned were once supposed to be a PS3 exclusive. They were stated as such by the developers. Just because they release at the same time doesn't change the fact that they were lost. That would contradict your entire post considering you posted Saints Row 2 and Dead Rising 2, which you consider as lost exclusives even though they're releasing at the same time.

With that logic, I could state that Metal Gear Solid was lost as well due to the fact that they're releasing at the same time.

Metal Gear Solid
Virtua Fighter 5
Assassin's Creed
Devil May Cry 4
Grand Theft Auto 4
Final Fantasy XIII
Final Fantasy XIV - http://www.1up.com/do/newsS... (basically them confirming that they're trying to do it)
Tekken 6
Quantum Theory

You sort of have to apply your logic to both points. Otherwise, it just looks weird.

[exclusive_loser]

@above

My objective is about:

"XBOX 360" games that were released for 360, only to be found on PS3 later on with no knowledge of it coming to PS3.

in other words: timed-exclusive

MGS4 is only on PS3

AC, DMC4, GTAIV and FFXIII are definitely multiplats.
They never orginated as timed-exclusives with the exception of Virtua fighter 5.

...they have been so many BOTS over the past week with their multiple accounts parading about PS3 games flopping it disgusts me.

[truewittness]

Arnon - "Just because they release at the same time doesn't change the fact that they were lost. That would contradict your entire post considering you posted Saints Row 2 and Dead Rising 2, which you consider as lost exclusives even though they're releasing at the same time."

that is a good point.

exclusive_loser - "AC, DMC4, GTAIV and FFXIII are definitely multiplats. "

no they weren't.

i've had the same account since i started. you get no bull with me, just facts.

[free3sixty]

Chronicles of Flops, Massive Action Flop and Heavy Buttons is the way droids going this year.

Oh i forgot War of Flops 3....

[dtrain21]

Blu-Raystation 3 should start sellin movies instead of games cuz this is humiliating. At least you'll have Halo Legends on Blu-Ray for you to watch

[Nineball2112]

"Chronicles of Flops, Massive Action Flop and Heavy Buttons is the way droids going this year.

Oh i forgot War of Flops 3.... "

Okay... I admit Heavy Buttons is pretty friggin' funny too! LOL

[Arnon]

"The phrase box office bomb (also referred to as a flop) refers to a film for which the production and marketing costs greatly exceeded the revenue retained by the movie studio."

You don't need to play a game to see if it's a "flop", technically. Also, yeah... I think Alan Wake came up with the whole "Heavy Buttons" thing. It was pretty creative.

[Shendow]

I play the game before I say it blows, and this game is better then what they say it is, already got two friends on my list from playing this game and it was fun.

Unlike Demons Soul's, you can type messages or use your bluetooth headset to talk to people and it makes it easy to talk to one another.

Plus its awesome you can build your own town the way you want to, you can have it sell notthing but items to support people or weapons or both. Their is already add on items for the building of a town.

The game is well build an I would give it a 8 or 8.5 out 10. It might not look good, but the stages look awesome and the story isn't to bad to.

[Redempteur]

nobody seems to have seen the online part on the us side and everybody know that there is more to just the FIRST part of a solo player saga ...

and story isn't finished .. normal it's a 3 part saga ...

i've seen the same complain for hack //gu and yet once you play all 3 it was a very enjoyable expérience ..

except that white knight has online ...

[die_fiend]

The only thing funny is how butthurt the fanboys that constitute this site are that this game is utterly sh!te. Did people not see the gameplay videos cos they were shocking. How could you get hyped about something that looked so awful?

[v1c1ous]

was at the top of my list as a reason to get ps3 ;-;

[Redempteur]

sorry but unless it's a tales of game gameplay vidoe for a rpg aren't fun for me to watch ... it's something else when YOU're playing ..

beside i watched the videos already .. since i saw this game last year when all the people who imported it streamed their games ...

it's not bad that's for sure

[CernaML]

Hmm. This reminds me of all the JRPGs that flopped on the 360.

[free3sixty]

With ONE DIFFERENCE:

360 owners never hyped their NEW IPs/ no-name games, while droids hype their AAA exclusice LIST 2 years before release, LOL!

They do the same NOW, they already hype and mention Killzone3, resistance3 and many more in every topic, rofl!

[Man In Black]

Normal 360 owners never hyped up their new IPs. The 360 droids did. And then they shut the fvck up when their IPs flopped.

[sak500]

Haha i remember droids top lists from yester years included, kz2, Lbp, home, wkc, ffxxxxxxxx, gt5, haze, afrika, heavy rain and now all but gt5 is remaining which will kill 360 haahahahha. With price cuts and big library of games last year ps3 coudn't even close teh gap with 360 and 2010 looks like a major flop for ps3.

[dtrain21]

SONY: POS3's best FLOPS is yet to come

[JonnyBigBoss]

Bummer. I like the game personally. Maybe I'm easy to please.

[ElementX]

You are, I told you that earlier this week.

[Anorexorcist]

I had certain high expectations for WKC, but after seeing similar, above-average review scores for the Japanese version of WKC, I had a feeling that the scores would not improve once it hit the western shores. It appears WKC is a letdown. Hopefully Level-5 will reassess it's plan next time and come through with Dark Cloud 3.

[militant07]

Level 5 need to LEVEL UP :P

[Delive]

8.3 out of 10. And the more you learn how to play it, the more fun it is.

[kewlkat007]

.

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

Edit:
NVM.

[ElementX]

Sounds about right...

[ActionBastard]

Still gonna check it out. Paid reviewers don't make my decisions for me.

[Pennywise]

Its like listening to a politicians views on the oil or tobacco industries. You know damn well they funded their campaigns... why will they tell us the truth?

Revenue will make people do some evil things.

Not saying this game isn't mediocre... but 5/10? I think not.

[maniacmayhem]

LOL, a game gets bad reviews and automatically there's an illuminati plot brewing behind public curtains.

Please stop.

[akiraburn]

I have the game, I'm about 8 hours in now, and I am really enjoying it. I have to completely disagree with these reviews, because their basis and reasons for giving it such a low score would mean that virtually every other game released over the past several years should lose points as well. So far most of them have been overcritical to the extreme.

The bottom line is that it's a fun and somewhat original game. Things like the online aspect add more replay and ingenuity to it. And the game may not be perfect, and there may be some flaws here and there, but nowhere near enough to make it unplayable, unenjoyable, or give any reason to warrant anything even relatively close to the scores it's been getting. From all that I've seen I can't fathom anyone grading it lower than a 7.5, or any higher than around a 9.2. That's where the average scores should be standing, in my opinion. A solid good and fun RPG, with a few areas that could use improvement.

[Sonyslave3]

DAmn the only AAA game on the ps3 is GT5 and that game has been delayed to fall.

[kingme71]

Dark Cloud was just so so in my book, but I loved Jeanne D'Arc. One of my favorite games of this generation. I had high hopes for this one. Maybe it will be a rental to give it a try.

There are strong things Japan does with RPG's and there are strong things the West does with RPG's. Hopefully, we can start seeing some newer RPG's come out that can successfully blend the two.

[Lucreto]

I expect JRPGs from now on will get low scores as they are all compared to Fallout 3 and Mass Effect.

If you liked JRPGs all through the PS1 and PS2 days you will like this game.

[Aleusia]

Still seems fun to me, typical single player rpg with created character as you alongside the main character and an online mode that might kinda be like monster hunter as far as getting more armor and weapons and stuff, it really doesn't sound bad and im getting it regardless of the reviews. comparing jrpgs to wrpgs is just retarded, apples and oranges..seriously, that goes for the people too.

[escobahr]

this is not a 1up review of WKC!!!! this is just a user review from some teenager in ames iowa! do youi people even read the article before you comment?

[Homicide]

It's an official review, not a user review. Just look at it: Editor's rating - C-. It's even listed on the front page of 1UP under latest reviews :)

[Homicide]

Played it for an hour or so. Don't like it so far. Combat is slow and boring, and the story is lolworthy.

[Light Yagami]

Genji, Lair, Haze and now White Flop Chronicles.

[Man In Black]

That's a mighty short list you have there, friend.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

MAG, Heavy Rain, SOCOM, Afrika, Time Crisis 4, Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, Singstar, Folklore, Demon's Souls, Mobile Suit Gundam, Untold Legends, Ridge Racer 7, Valkyria Chronicles, and about 100 more flops http://en.wikipedia.org/wik... How is that list?

[lonestarmt]

played for four hours. Story starts a little slow but so does most JRPGs. The battle system isn't that slow. You wait till the circle fills then you can attack. It takes about I don't know three seconds for it to fill. In fact you attack more in this than you do in FF12 and no one complained that it was slow, or at least the reviewers didn't. Seriously if three seconds is too long for you, you shouldn't be playing RPG's in the first place....

[shammgod]

still buying it...tomorrow. Almost all user reviews have been positive.

[pippoppow]

Get what looks good to you, not what others think look good. From the little I played it looks like a good solid game.

[koehler83]

I'm really enjoying it. Comparing it only to other JRPGs of this generation, I'd say it's probably the best I've played. Comparing it to other games of 2008, it's very good.

Level 5 did this game a great disservice by holding it back so long and putting it in the shadow of games of 2009 and 2010; Especially PS3 exclusives.

Still enjoying it. That's all I care about.

[Man In Black]

Hasn't even been released for ps3, jackass.

You're just listing random games, aren't you? Mostly games that have received barely any attention.

Also, Heavy Rain hasn't been released, how is it a flop? Tell me, I'm curious. MAGs sales reports haven't been published.

You don't even know the definition of a flop, much like how you can't tell your head from your ass.

[maniacmayhem]

Level 5 is a great RPG developer. Really enjoyed Rogue Galaxy.

[the_bebop]

Yet people will play and buy Mass Effect.

[foxxy]

final fantasy 12 it has better voice acting and the gameplay is flawless.

[FF7numbaone]

Japan's main reviewer gave it a it 29/40. I didn't expect much. I think its a C+ game.

[lonestarmt]

that same mag gave haze 37/40 so they arn't exactly right all the time.

[JD_Shadow]

The Gamestop I got it from mentioned that I got their last copy of the game, and that people didn't reserve enough of them because it was flying off the shelf. It must be the gamers not agreeing with the reviewers.

The game has some rich, bright graphics which shine a lot on a HD set. The monsters have some good detail on them. I will agree that, so far, your created character does very little (of what I've seen so far) to add to the story. However, the creator itself is VERY detailed. The learning curve of what you can and can't do is very to the point and very easy to pick up. Once you understand the basic mechanics, you'll be making interesting combos in no time. The music is very JRPGish, though that's not necessarily a bad thing. The sound fits, too (though I wish the characters could shut up sometimes with the constant sudden lines while you're walking around the towns and the field, though they can also be reminders of what you need to do if you're stuck).

I'm basically saying that you need to make your own decision when giving this game a try. Don't just take the reviewer's word for it (and remember that this is a PS3 exclusive. Some reviewers tend to take a few points off for that alone because of their unfounded hatred towards the PS3).

[Conando]

Massive Flop Game, Heavy Flop, White Flop Chronicles, Gran Flop 5, Flop Fantasy XIII Versus, Flopgent, God of Flop III, FlopNation Racers, and The Last Flop will all join the PS3's incredible list of flops this year. They will join other notable PS3 flops like:

Flop Effect 2, Alan Flop, Flopdown 2, Floplo: Reach, Splinter Cell: Confloption, Floptro 2033, Flopble 3, Project Floptal, and maybe even Gears of Flop 3!

They'll join such famous 360 flops as:

Was thinking of picking this up p at the bargain bin in a few months because I love JRPG and there are so little of them to choose from.

After seeing these horrible reviews, I think I am going to pass on this one.

@Darkpower. "The Gamestop I got it from mentioned that I got their last copy of the game, and that people didn't reserve enough of them because it was flying off the shelf." Maybe they only have like 5 copies at your store. The store I went into today had about a dozen copies but sold like 3.

my friend just rented it and he said its fun hes a hardcore RPG player and likes a lot of different rpgs he says hes going to get it and the only issue he has with game is the saving takes for ever..think I'm going to get it even with all the mediocre reviews i think i might find some fun with the game offline and online, and wkc2 looks like a good game so i want to play wkc1 before wkc2 comes out.
