Between seeing its debut at Tokyo Game Show 2006 and spending some time with the playable demo on this year's TGS show floor, 1UP's interest in Level-5's White Knight Story has definitely risen. Going straight to the source, they asked producer Akihiro Hino and director Yoshiaki Kusuda a few questions about their upcoming RPG.
Castle walls crumble in the flaming night sky- there is chaos, panic, and murder. A black horned knight stalks the princess and all that stands in his way is a young man who works at a winery and his generic customizable friend who happened to get hired on the wrong day… White Knight Chronicles has finally arrived!
The much anticipated White Knight Chronicles has finally been released- not with a bang, but with a whimper. I previously commented on various aspects of the game that deserved note- things that could have been different, but made no such bold statements as "biggest disappointment of 2010" like some reviewers have. I personally believe White Knight Chronicles to be a decent JRPG with a fun and intuitive online system and great potential for future titles. Without further adieu- into the gritty details!

Russ tells of recent RPG releases and those to look for in February.
Rogue Galaxy is a seriously underrated game. Level 5 is one of the best RPG makers and it's sad how their last PS2 game was lost in the storm.
Hope WKS gets the attention and praise that it truly deserves.
level-5 does an awesome job. on rpg's it's just a sad thing though that level 5 said they hate doing sequels. and with this they said this will prolly be a 1 game entry. i think we should petition them to make this game a trilogy. because doing so makes your developer pedigree stand out. especially if your game was a hit. it gains plenty of weight. popularity and awareness.
it's really good to see them trying to do something different with a jrpg
i'm still waiting for a combat system that compete with Xenogears and Star Ocean 2nd story in the fun factor
Level 5 is slowly but surely becoming an RPG force to reckon with... i hold this development studio with high regards... can't wait for this new IP!
I have high hopes for AI to improve on WKS. I can't wait for all their games!
