    Sony isn't playing all its E3 cards close to the vest. The company went and released the E3 trailer for White Knight Chronicles, the PS3-exclusive action RPG from Level-5, in advance of the show.

      


    What do you think? This one isn't quite at the top of my PS3 most-wanted list, but I'm certainly interested to see and hopefully play the game to find out more about it.

    If this game is any good, then I will definitely be getting a PS3...sometime in the future. There's enough titles that have caught my interest.

    I honestly can't wait for this game, but, i've always been a huge RPG fan so i'm kinda biased. It'll definitely be something to hold me over until the new Final Fantasies come out.

    I think it looks pretty solid, though I'm pretty sure that PS3 Launch footage of this game looked better than what's been shown here (I bet it was prerendered)

    Level 5 is my favorite japanese developper studio. I like their style. I'll certainly buy this one unless reviews are coming out hard on it. We need to send a message to sony, we need more RPGS and the only way to send this message right now is by buying rpgs. Simple.

    Possibly because they stopped making Good JRPG's a long time ago...

    "

    Funny, that quote perfectly sums up my thoughts on first person and third person shooters these days yet I still love many JRPGs. Careful not to paint a whole genre with a brush instead of just the few bad apples giving it's peers a bad name.

    It's a Level 5 game. There's a reason Square gave them the Dragon Quest franchise. Because they make better RPG's that Square does.

    Eh...I'm tired of the whole 15 year old kid (just like YOU!!!!!!) being the epic hero thing.  Although I suppose that is truly the "role-play" aspect for a good chunk of the audience.

    This looked promising when it was first announced, but it's looking more and more generic every time I see it.  Hopefully it will have some revolutionary combat system or a better story than the trailers have conveyed.

    Some of the design elements look cool, but there's some inner part of me that starts up the warning bells, saying there are going to be a ton of painful cliches that won't be any different than games that came before...  *deep breath*

    I don't like these manga RPGs, the gameplay is a little wack for my taste, but having said that, they are the most beautiful games on the market.

    Every time I see a video of this game, I feel less and less excited about it.

    That very first video from a couple years ago was amazing, and since then it looks like they've done their best to turn it into the most generic JRPG ever. And the graphics aren't even good! Hell, Eternal Sonata looks better.

    Bah!

    Looks promising.  Level-5 did do Professor Layton and the Curious Village so,  Let's see how things go, BEFORE dismissing it out of hand.  Who knows, It might be good, stranger things have happened.

    I was always a little disappointed that Level-5 opted for this kind of graphical style when they did some of the best cel-shading on the PS2. Aside from the androgynous hero, it doesn't look that much different from a Western RPG IMO (and when you take into consideration the type of voice acting, battle system and highly cinematic soundtrack, I think they were actually going for that vibe).

    It never appealed to me a whole lot, but if I ever get a PS3 I'll pick it up anyway out of loyalty to the company.

    I'm surprised at the graphic quality.  It looks like an early 360 rather than a modern PS3 exclusive.

    man.. this game looks like it has something wicked up it's sleeves! i'm very frightened to purchase such a game since most reviewers these days are FPS nuts who don't really care for any form of RPG's anymore..

    that being said, the quote in the trailer, "we have to stop him before he becomes any more powerful" seems like a possible plot twist. i'm crossing my fingers that the innocent Leanard (spelling?) kid turns wicked evil and the game shifts to players having to kill him! doubtful tho, has any RPG ever had the main character get turned evil and then the rest of the cast has to kill him? (FF7 doesn't count since no play time was really spent on sephiroth)

    Atleast there are more shooters with evolving mechanics (regenerating health, cover, weapon jams, and so very much more) and unique art syles (Halo, TF2, Badlands, Bioshock). That is a lot less common in JRPGs. There is no doubt that the games are great, but there isn't enough variety in the genre. Not enough change over the years. Not saying there aren't bright spots out there, but still. And sure, there are shooters out there that don't present anything new. And all that jazz. But there is no denying that JRPGs haven't changed a hell of a lot. Even JRPG fanboys would agree with that.

    I am sick and tired of CG models that look nothing like the ingame models.
    And I don't mean the visual fidelity.

    Meh. The last thing I need is more generic fantasy told through the japanese RPG format. Frankly I'm pretty much done with the whole fantasy thing, period. Persona 3 and 4. Now those are JRPG's I can get behind. Fallout 3. Check.

    Fable 2 is about the closest thing to swords and sorcery I ever want to get, and even that was more pre-victorian than middle ages. Also it was, you know, good.

    I'm not getting behind Gundam Wing: Black Plague Ages.
