"I came to White Knight Chronicles full of hope and optimism but left bitterly disappointed. WKC feels dated with a combat system that is severely lacking and a lacklustre story. The menus are overly complicated and the game overall has a stale feeling about it, the game leaves you feeling the days of the typical JRPG could be numbered.
Somehow Level 5 have sequel commissioned which when I first read it thought it must've been a mistake but no, there is another title on the way. Going by the first WKC I feel the damage could already be done and the second game could be doomed before it's even properly begun.
If you want to know what Level-5 are truly capable of, I urge you to go and grab a copy of Dragon Quest VIII and save yourself from the disappointment that I'm sad to say is White Knight Chronicles. It's by no means awful, just a lot of wasted potential."
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.
