RPGFan: White Knight Chronicles Review

RPGFan has the first english review of the highly anticipated PS3 RPG. Here's what they have to say:

"Reviewers and game writers of all stripes love to pontificate about trends and 'shifts' of all sorts when talking about specific genres or generations. RPG's are no exception, as many have suggested that the most recent generation of consoles is seeing the rise of western RPGs and the fading of traditional Japanese role-playing games. With Mass Effect, Fable II, Fallout 3, and Oblivion all outshining the likes of Lost Odyssey and The Last Remnant, many are wondering if we have merely seen a string of sub-par games, or if JRPG's are on their way out.

Many gamers, myself included, waited with baited breath for White Knight Chronicles to come out and give PS3 owners something to cheer about. Both the system and the genre could use a white knight in shining armor to come and save them, and with every other game being sequel number four or thirteen, the fact that WKC is an original franchise does not hurt. An original and superb PS3 title is just the game we have all been waiting for."

1.2 - I think that the game will be great.

Level 5 has yet to disappoint me with any of their titles.

Oh, and any of the "issues" that the reviewer mentioned could be fixed for the North American release. Seems kinda dense to review a game for the NA audience that hasn't been localized yet.

The reviewer really seemed like he was reaching for flaws. Vesperia, Eternal Sonata, Infinite Undiscovery, Last Remnant, all JRPGs this gen really have been uninspired.

"It makes no fatal mistakes, but possesses no great virtues," says the reviewer.

I'm sorry, but have any of the games that I've just listed really redefined the genre or done anything groundbreaking?

Oh, and his other complaint that your characters don't feel powerful enough and the comparisons to Star Ocean and FF are a little odd. Do you want the game to try something different (which, by his opinion it did not), or do you want just another JRPG?

He then goes on to praise the online component.

Confused people are confusing.

P.S. Bubbles and agrees for the top two posters. WHO ARE THE PHANTOM DISAGREES? Don't post unless you have something to say. A fly-by "disagree" is an act of cowardice.

1.5 - I don't know guys...

...I'll buy it, of course, because JRPGs are my favorite genre of games but I'm afraid this won't be what I thought it was.

Look at their other reviews for PS3 RPGS...they are very accurate, perhaps except for their overly-high score for Enchanted Arms. I mean, Enchanted Arms is better than WKC? Really?

I believe that the reason why there is no release date in NA is so that Level 5 can fix things up based on the Japanese run. Once they are ready, we'll see a release date. Hope it gets here before Christmas.

1.13 - Ugh...

I know I'll get some disagrees for this, but WKC was actually very disappointing for me too. I played it for a while, expecting to spend most of January on the game, but I ended up selling it because I... just couldn't stand it anymore (note: Xenogears is my fav. RPG of all time, so please don't accuse me of being anti-JRPG or something)

I think this review (the one posted) is VERY fair. It does raise most of the concerns (and praises) I had, quite thoroughly.

Hopefully, Demon's Soul won't disappoint (although it's more action-ish and JRPG-ish). I am glad I had it mail ordered before it was sold out. =)

Cheers,

Yea, I'll still get it but my expectations have been drastically lowered. It seems like it had potential to be so much more. I really don't care about any of his criticisms except the ones concerning magic... that's a big part of rpg's for me. The thing that took getting used to the most when playing Fallout 3 was the lack of any spells! That's also the reason I still like Oblivion better.

Same here, the issues mentioned were negligible to me, such as the lack of overall MP. To me that's a non-issue since it adds a sense of realism (I mean it would be too easy if you could just go around spamming magic/White Knight form). Same thing with the slow casting, which imo adds another level of realism (played FFXI for years, and slow casting just meant you had to think strategically).

The only issue that concerns me is the enemy being able to attack through walls/floors, but thankfully that's a patchable issue, so hopefully it will be taken care of before the US release.

2.3 - reviews are only-

Peoples opinions. If I took reviews as gospel then I'd never have enjoyed games like: fokelore, lost odyssey, last remnant, blue dragon and so on. None of those games got great scores but I loved them. Mind you I'm a bit on the fence with killzone 2. It got great scores just like gta4 and the demo is great but gta4 disappointed me. No way it was worth a 10 out of 10. Perhaps I've just played so much shooters over the years though which is why I'm still on the fence (Doom is still the best).

It's sad.

The game never really looked that promising - and all the fanboys were getting hyped up about it based on a few lacklustre screenshots and the developer's track record.

It's a decent RPG, but I LOL at all the people saying "I'm definitely getting this game it sounds great" - when they diss the 360's RPGs and are only getting this because there are very few JRPGs worth owning on PS3.

They ignored the famitsu review, but a review by RPGFan seems to hold a lot of weight to me. It's a good game. But it's easily lost against a sea of just-slightly-better-than-good RPGs on the 360.

3.1 - Inifinte Undiscovery and Last Remnant were not "better-than-good" at all.

Vesperia was Tales of the Abyss in HD - with great characters, but an ENORMOUSLY boring storyline.

Eternal Sonata is on both platforms (enhanced on the PS3).

Lost Odyssey was good, despite a few technical hitches.

Blue Dragon was decidedly average.

I've played every RPG on the 360 and pretty much everything except LO came across as "meh".

The JRPG lineup on the 360 is certainly 'full', but not 'satisfying'. If Star Ocean turns out to be a dud, my sole reason for purchasing a 360 (JRPGs) is basically moot.

P.S. Famitsu gave Haze a 34/40. People need to stop referencing them, as they do not have any clue what they are doing.

"The JRPG lineup on the 360 is certainly 'full', but not 'satisfying'. If Star Ocean turns out to be a dud, my sole reason for purchasing a 360 (JRPGs) is basically moot."

LO is the best next-gen, straight up JRPG out there and it's developer Mistwalker is financially backed by Microsoft. LO was also successful and has sold the most worldwide of any HD JRPG so far this gen. You don't think Mistwalker is working on a sequel or new IP as we speak? MS is not just giving up on JRPGs after Star Ocean so you may want to hang onto your 360.

Also, try Fable 2 or Mass Effect if you like RPGs. Even if you're a obsessive Japan-ophile with a Anime wall papered bedroom and think RPGs begin and end with Japan you may be pleasantly surprised. My roommate was.

At the end of the day, WKC is hard to recommend for people who are looking for a good offline stand-alone adventure. Even where the game innovates, specifically the battle and avatar systems, the game slips up by improperly balancing damage and incentives and making the player-created character totally inconsequential. The story campaign is easily completed in 25 to 30 hours, so really the game makes an excellent rental. If it’s online gaming that you are focused on, add a few points to my final score and have at it. I suspect there will be some patches and changes for the North American release, and if they address even some of the problems mentioned here, you will have a very worthwhile game. Ultimately I think the franchise has potential. Nevertheless, it’s still very skip-able for people with a long backlog of games to get into.

Well, I guess since I am looking for an online RPG add a couple points and I should be happy with this game. Plus, we all know it will be updated by the time it comes to NA.

5 - Level 5 vs Story Part 4

Seriously, they need to get them some better writers. I've heard this a few times about this game now and it was a major issue with Rogue Galaxy, making that game's progression a bit tedius. I haven't play WKC and WILL give it a shot, but this is downing to say the least.

One thing, RPG nuts like myself can't take that "numbers" complaint seriously after FFVIII and FFXII. First off, the magic of FFVIII outside of meltdown truly became useless outside of junction by disc 3, so no complaining about just using combos and attacks RPG Fan! Plus, if you're going to get annoyed over the uselessness of the Knight and it's comsumption of AP, um....FFXII summoning anyone? Double standards = questionable logic. Still, I trust RPG Fan, but those two things are a little questionable, especially since he says long time Role-Players like me are supposed to know this is a bad thing, even though good games do it.

This, FFXIII (my demo comes in April!) and Star Ocean make for a good RPG year.

I agree with you magic was totally useless in FFVIII (i just spamed summons until the end of the game not jk). Don't even talk FFXII, there is no need for summons when you can spam the limits and they even do more damage (i can spam 35 limits in a battle at one go).

The graphics where crap, the gameplay was average, the Story was forgettable, and it wasn't really an upgrade from Halo 2. But in all fairness I had a good time with Halo 3 and I'm glad I played it.

The problem I have with the Halo series is that it never lives up to my expectations. I love the Halo universe but the games are never deep enough for me and they always take the story in weird directions. I'm really looking foreword to Halo: ODST though, I like the direction it seems to be going in.

Your views are opinionated and thus are subjective - it would appear that the industry doesn't see eye to eye with you since Halo3 has a 94 metacritic score.

Its funny how you say you hate the graphics, story and gameplay but yet say you love the Halo universe....

I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say that they wanted to buy any RPG they can get, even if it is mediocre (I'm not saying WKC is, because I have yet to play it).

It's a shame really, you would think that the PS3 would have more above average RPGs than it does considering the PS2's legacy. At least Valkyria Chronicles was great. I've heard good things about Folklore too, but I haven't got around to playing it.

Ive seen vids of this game in action and it looks awesome. Not only does it stick with traditional rpg elements, but its the first true rpg Ive seen on either a ps3 or 360. All of you bots can gripe all you want, this game was made for true rpg fans. Unlike Star Ocean, it seems like it has good pacing, with not too much stuff going on the screen at the same time.

This game gives me the feeling I used to get when I played rpgs' that were good back in the day. FF4, Dragon Warrior 4, with a little of Xenogears in it. Im glad Level 5 are making games for us, instead of making games that only the western immature audience would want. Thats what triace and Squeenix is for. Leave the real rpg's to people who actually want to make a good ones.

OH and btw. Another good action rpg Ive seen is Demon's Souls. That game looks amazing. I consider it the new and improved oblivion, but with great gameplay. Not only does it play good, but the graphics are ridiculous. Those of you that don't know, you can get the game translated in english at playasia.com . I recomend that game to anyone who has a ps3 and loves action rpgs. And yes, they even speak english, its not just the text thats english. Gotta love the no region locks on our ps3's.

And if you smack disagree buttons randomly because you do not like an individual or their comments, then you are nothing but a child.

Valkyria Chronicles is better than ALL 360 exclusive jrpgs combined, so there's no point of getting a firebox really.

I know! What is wrong with people? Any true gamer would enjoy that game. It doesn't look so appealing at first, but after you get into it it is very good.

*clears throat* lots of people use game reviews as a tool to help decide if a game is purchase-worthy.

as for WKC, gotta say again I thought the 1st video I saw looked gorgeous/awesome. until the main character went into Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers mode with that g@y Super White Knight transformation crap.

jrpg = unsophisticated DragonballZ-style drivel for small children, for the most part. altho I heard Persona is really cool... but yeah, I'm sick of jrpgs it's western rpgs for me all the way now.

I was actually talking with a few acquaintances that I know in Japan.When I asked most of them what happened with WKC,they said it felt rushed or incomplete.This might make sense because for the longest time WKC was a single player game.I think Sony Japan wanted to emulate the success of Monster Hunter which is a co-op game that the Japanese enjoy so they forced Level 5 to make the game online.The problem is that Level 5 has no experience with online games hence the voice chat issues.

Will I buy this game? Sure simply because I always find Level 5 games to be underrated.However it looks JRPGs are running out of time to stand out anymore.If SO4 and FFXIII cannot rise to the challenge,the western gamers will stop caring for the genre.

Yes, i agree RPGs should be Single player. I will buy the game anyways, i loved what i played of it in a friend's house.
But i found funny that the reviewer talks like the MP is the best part of the game when that part should be the rushed one.
Also, idk what happend to this guy eyes, but WKC is the best looking RPG out there after VC.

You are a complete ignorant fanboy. For me there isn't anything that makes me not want to buy an xbox360. When Too Human came out and flopped I didn't say" Another reason not to buy an xbox360". You have no logic, something that xbox360 fanboys like you lack a lot these days.

Is this about the Killzone 2 demo?

I know...I know. Don't worry though...Gears of War 3 will come out eventually and it will look really good. It won't look as good as Killzone 2, but it will look good. That's all that matters, right?

Play White Knight Chronicles and then knock it. I didn't knock Gears of War 2 until I tried it. (Loved it, by the way)

You're dismissing it because it's a PS3 game. Are you telling me that inferior developers have chosen to develop on the PS3? That doesn't make logical sense...at all.

Why am I even responding to this?

It's like talking to a 6 year old.

1. You're a f#cking IDIOT!
2. This guy reviewed an IMPORT (and I think everyone that's commenting on here really needs to realize that). Go on the site and pull up the VC review, and then compare that game's import review to its domestic review on the site. It tells a lot (though I don't expect too many people to really take the time and common sense to LOOK at that). It would also say that the reviewer is harsh on a lot of games and that a different reviewer on the site could get the domestic review and like the game a lot more.

No, everybody who has played VC like it. check the gamefaq reviews, it's all 9 and 10. As for LO, many people don't like it hence why it gets like a 78 meta.

VC > LO in reviews and users review. Stop trying to spin the fact. You are stupid enough to put a 78 average game up against the masterpiece VC.
