GOS: White Knight Chronicles International Edition Review

Charles King from Games on Smash reviews the PS3 exclusive RPG White Knight Chronicles.

"White Knight Chronicles is a JRPG exclusive to the PS3 and developed by Level 5, the creators of the Dark Cloud franchise. WKC was originally released on Christmas in Japan in 2008, but was released over two years later for the States. Is WKC worth the wait for PS3 fans that are looking for a traditional RPG? While WKC does deliver in a lot of areas, the game does require a lot of patience and is bogged down by cliches."

Is WKC worth the wait for PS3 fans that are looking for a traditional RPG?

FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP only possible on the ps3 the cell. MAKE BELIEVE

Ninji5189d ago

I mean what RPG is going to compete against WKC? Resonance of Fate is just yet another bland RPG that is more of a shooter and FF13 has already flopped a long time ago.

WKC = filet mignon
FF13 = a fast food burger with cheese, pickles, ketchup, mustard, onions, & lettuce; meatless

WKC is the best JRPG this year and it's certainly better than a burger with no meat.

For the record I'll still try to rent Resonance of Fate if I have time since it still seems like a decent RPG but I won't bother with FF13 as that has already been a proven flop and I'm not a big fan of on-the-rails games.

@1.1
More of a shooter? Haha you have no idea what you're talking about.

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5187d ago

Based on reviews is bad.

But this game at least deserve 4/5 or 8.5 out of 10.

hatchimatchi5187d ago

Call it a flop, mediocre, garbage, etc.

Doesn't matter to me.

I own the game and I really enjoy it. I couldn't care less what reviewers or trolls have to say about it.

king1235187d ago

playstation fanboys perspective .. every xbox game is over rated and not their type

every 6 or 7 reviewed PS3 game is because microsoft payed them to do it
this game sucks and I dont think you should tell lies about you loving it and you even having the f***ing game

I hope this one was better then the last one. It wasn't that bad of a game, but i kind of had high hopes

Misterhbk4608d ago

I picked it up and I'm loving it so far. Haven't gone online yet though. Then again, I was a fa of the first despite what reviewers and others said so my opinion may not be the best to judge off of for you, since you didn't like the first.

gameguidedog4608d ago

It's pretty damn cool actually, plus it comes with most of the first one anyway. :)

JerryMatters4608d ago

This game is def with the sickness!! I was totally waiting for this to come out for way too long! It rocks!!!

scepter4608d ago

SpaceSquirrel4608d ago

White Knight Chronicles 2 Developer Interview (COIN-OP TV)

COIN-OP TV interview with Miki Takahashi one of the Producers on White Knight Chronicles II. This interview explores the differences between the original game and the sequel and also explains what upgrades went into the localization of the license.

MaideninBlack4623d ago

Most anticipated game of the year for me!

DA_SHREDDER4623d ago (Edited 4623d ago )

If playing WKC1 on this disc feels like a totally different then the laster iteration then I'm really intrigued. Not that WKC1 was bad, it just felt rushed and in need of alot of filling in the blanks. I'm a bit skeptical, but I hope this game ends up being good cause I really want Level 5 to prove how talented they really are.

btw, the way this lady talks is so darn cute, I just wanna hug the crap out of her.

dragonyght4623d ago

its was pretty good it just felt like a ps2 game they port to ps3 and up the graphic and nothing else i mean it felt like a very low budget game it could had been different story if sony put AAA budget behind it they good a pretty good thing going the specially the online

JAMurida4622d ago

IMO, Level 5 has already proved how talented they are with WKC 1. I mean yes the game has it's glitches/flaws and what not, but thats to be expected in a new IP/game. And what's better is pretty much everything that was wrong with the first is corrected in the second game, along with adding improvements to make it better, (like being able to make your own knight and customize it to your liking). THAT is what you call a "sequel". Fix problems with the first game and add new features that compliment the existing ones and make the game better.

And yes, the lady was pretty cute, lol.

JAMurida4623d ago

@MaideninBlack

For once on this site, I COMPLETELY agree with someone.

mediastudies4623d ago

Robert you're covering JRPGs now? Have you been talking to TechGaming's Deagle or what?

BTW- Thanks for the interview. May have to pick this one up.

pennyman4623d ago

ahh COIN-OP TV covers a variety of console games (and some pc) I did get most of these questions from Deagle of Tech Gaming tho :)

tiffac0084623d ago (Edited 4623d ago )

I'm definitely getting this game. WKC by no means perfect but I still enjoyed it nonetheless.

TBM4623d ago

i enjoyed the first one a lot even though it wasnt perfect. i still have my save file, but i think imma start over since part 2 battle system will be in part 1. this is awesome news to me.

pennyman4623d ago

thx for the comments/checking out the video -- feel free to share on your blogs/twitter

these is great to hear since the sequel is coming soon to america and europe ( and its already out in japan)

WildArmed4767d ago

Aye, Looking forward to the sequel.
Probably will replay WKC1 w/ the new combat system and stuff to get a better feel of the system.

Was a great game; that is if you chose to invest time into the MP.

The SP campaign was pretty weak, but like I've said again and again (I sound like a broken record) the MP was the saving grace for this awesome game.

Easily one of my best investments in games for the PS3

chidori6664767d ago

average game IMO.

Story is simplistic..and same old rescue the princess..

the game It could be better. However, it's still a "ok" game.

kevnb4767d ago

but the gameplay was terrible.

NaiNaiNai4767d ago

I have it right now.

Haven't played it in a few days. Kinda got bored after fighting the giant wolf demon lady thing. lol.

But I'll start playing again soon. I get the same feeling from this like when I played blue dragon.

WildArmed4767d ago

lol, You won't really get much out of the Single Player.

I highly encourage you to invest some time into the MP.
It was the saving grace for the game (imo)

Spent quite a good number of hours into the MP <3

Great game, looking forward to the sequel!

TheDivine4767d ago (Edited 4767d ago )

I loved blue dragon and hated wkc but i get what you mean niether quite lived up to the potential. White knight sucked badly, i was expecting an epic ff12 like game and got a slow fake mmorpg. The second looks great though hopefully its better. I heard they sped up combat so thats def good. Il plow through it though just so im up to speed for the second but i feel like i wasted 15 bux on this game. Again though if you like mmos youl dig wkc.

NaiNaiNai4767d ago

well I've tried getting online, but it tells me my character isn't allow online and then kicks me.

WildArmed4767d ago

Oh really?
Are you playing an imported version? (Jap)
Because I think you need a JP PSN account to get online.
Thou it shouldn't give you any issues if you are using the International Version.

Azianphil884767d ago

congratz to Sony and especially Level 5 on their milestone.
I'm looking forward to their sequel here in America.

BoNeSaW234767d ago

Title should read: White Knight Chronicles Franchise Has Only Sold 1 Million Worlwide!

Pretty poor for a having 4 games under it's belt. I have never played it and apparently most other gamers haven't either. I was excited before it launched because the PS3 didn't have many RPG's until I read reviews and watched videos of the boring ass combat. I'll pass on this series.
