GameSpy writes: "With vibrant graphics, a potentially fascinating storyline and full online mode to complement a traditional single-player RPG, White Knight Chronicles managed to capture everybody's attention at TGS, even though it was not playable. Level-5's unmistakable touch can be detected in the attention to the smallest detail and in the high degree of customization that has become more and more a trademark of the popular development house. We had a chance to interview Akihiro Hino, President and CEO of the company, about those elements of White Knight Chronicles that were not explored in detail during the short presentation we attended earlier in the show.
GameSpy: Will you keep getting your inspiration from European themes, which seem to be present in several Level-5 games? Akihiro
Akihiro Hino, President and CEO: Admittedly, many gamers have told us that our games have a European flavor. We agree, but at the same time we think they have very distinctive Japanese elements in them, which seems to be well-accepted by gamers in Europe. We like the fact that people always seem to find something familiar in our games, whether they are European or Japanese, and we will keep promoting this feature in our future titles."
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.
story was ok, but very unlike the other ff storylines where there is a clear villian.
i just want the game for vita/ps4. international zodiac version would be interesting to play but i hope that the original glitches(?) are still there.
i had more fun breaking the game then playing the game properly.
would also be cool if they added dual wielding. would make some rare weapons actually useful.
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.
they could easily make that game look better. just make it as detailed as the animation. the 3d models had a lot less detail.
not saying it didnt look nice, just saying it could be improved a lot.
what i want to see:
Patapon HD Collection
FFIX & FFVII Remastered
MadWorld HD
Thrasher:Skate&Destroy HD
EA Skate series HD
Lumines Collection
VibRibbon remastered
Mario Galaxy 1&2 Remastered
BF1942 Remastered
