White Knight Chronicles should be even more than this again: chronicles, plural. But for a game that talks a good game, there's a surprising lack of game in a number of its core elements. The story is just one. Not wholly boring, or very badly told... just vanilla. Just J-RPG to the core. Peasant boys, princesses, short swords and codpieces. And big enemies. Really, really big enemies.
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.
Ive been playing this game for a while...and I see nothing wrong...cliched...yes it is but nothing is wrong with this game...this is, so far from what I see, a classic RPG style game with a couple of western philosophies thrown in...Actually L5 has always been known for this style of game play / atmosphere when it comes to RPGs...
