The game comes from the folks at Level-5 and it combines traditional JRPG mechanics with MMO functionality. That all sounds like a roaring good time. But White Knight Chronicles is a disappointment. Besides the unimpressive visuals and poorly-told story, the game suffers from a flawed battle system and inconsistent gameplay rules
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.
wow that's too low
i might give it a rent but,damn only 5.1/10 :(
Woah....
Lol holy sh*t, I still might get this just to get my JRPG fix. Reviews aren't everything. I got Blue Dragon and that got bad reviews too. I thought this game would do better than a 5 though. :/
On a side note, WRPGs are the way to go this generation with games like Mass Effect 2. Japanese devs have lost their touch and I'm not putting my chips on FFXIII to do superb.
Ouch! Not looking pretty for WKC. A 5.1 from IGN and a 6.0 from GameSpot. Guess I'll rent it then.
This game had me interested but is it safe to put a fork in this one? I know not everyone agrees with IGN's reviews but that is pretty low and not low as in it's an okay game.
