White Knight Chronicles is an epic fantasy tale about two kingdoms in midst of a longstanding war. The King of Balandor, wishing to put an end to the war, invites the duke of Faria to his castle to celebrate his daughter's coming of age. But this celebration is sabotaged by the Magi, a rogue sect seeking to steal the White Knight, an ancient weapon of war sealed beneath Balandor castle, in order to take over the world. During the ensuing chaos, a young man named Leonard accidentally unlocks the power of the White Knight as he attempts to save the princess. With this power, Leonard manages to fend off the Magi attack, but not before they escape with the princess. With the kingdoms in chaos, Leonard is entrusted with the mission to find the Magi and rescue the princess. With the help of his trusted companions, they travel throughout Balandor and beyond on a quest to save the princess before the Magi unlock the other knights. The journey is fraught with danger, with Magi warriors at every turn, mythical beasts and monsters to battle, and forbidden powers revealed. As Leonard learns more about the power of the Knight, he realizes that unsealing all of them could trigger a calamity that could end the world.

Summary: A brilliant game full of customisation.
Honestly I cannot understand why this game is not more popular than it is. The story may be fairly typical JRPG fantasy but the gameplay is superb. Especially for the PS3 which has very few interesting RPGs.
This game starts fairly simple but there is alot to enjoy within it. Firstly, the combat is enjoyable, firstly its a bit irritating waiting enough time to swing your sword once more but when you get the hang of it and play few the first few tutorials it enables you to build your own combos. Basically you get skill points to level up all the main single player characters and your custom character (used for online games but also usable in the single player which i think is pretty neat) these points can be used to purchase spells or singular attack moves with various weapon styles. you then build combos using the various purchased weapon skills. So long story short, you get to completely design your characters fighting styles and combos. to perform the combo choose it out of the host of other moves you've set up and time your button pressing well to perform to perfection. Fantastic fighting style for any game.
There is alot of customisation in this game, from the weapons used, clothes/armour worn, the character you create for online and a single player sidekick, and not forgetting the town you create, although it is a meeting place for online you can also build it offline and recruit the npcs dotted around the towns to inhabit the buildings placed. Once stores are placed the goods available vary depending on the tenents and their professions. You level up and village and better items become available, there are even items you cannot obtain any other way and all this can be done without ever going online. Its a great sandbox stlye game in the fashion of the previous final fantasies without these crazy automated fights.
I have final fantasy XIII and although i would never say the production values and story of White Knight would quite live up to that, the gameplay and depth of the customisation and enjoyment easily surpass that of final fantasy XIII.
This is simply, much better than anyone seems to be letting on. if you buy it and give it an hour or two you'll see for yourself then maybe i'll see you online sometime (when i'm not thoroughly enjoying the offline mode.)

Summary: ps3 games
a good game when you first play it it seems rather childish but it soon has you enthralled very much like a simpler version of final fantasy. Buy it and try it.

Summary: Better than u maybe thought...
White knight Chronicles is a pretty cool JRPG in the style of an MMO type game.
It's pretty anime like and if loved FFXII, I'm sure u will like WKC too, cause the gameplay (especially the combat system) feels pretty familiar.It has a big world and no random enounters, which means u can see all ur enemies and decide if u want to fight or evade combat. If u were one of those guys who hated the FFXII's System u propably like it either, because it has some nice Network features. U can build ur own town and invite friends to come there. U can play online with up to 3 friends and do quests together to get rare items u can use for the singleplayer mode. Thats really cool and the Multiplayer quests are almost more fun than the singleplayer campaign. Unfotunately the game has it's bad sides too... the Story is a whole "Save the Princess from the evil guys" - Clichee. There are some little plot twists but it's not to be compared with the story of a Final fantasy or even a Star Ocean. Second big problems are the fights. I mean the cool system gets a bit ruined when u find out that u can attack the enemy only when ur near to them (which is pretty ok and logic) but once u began to fight a monster it can attack u no matter how far ur from them. But the real Problem is that makes the game not harder, but i wish it would be cause it's so damn EASY. But the game is pretty cool though and i recommend it to everyone who likes JRPG's, especially to beginners.
+Nice Big World
+Beautiful Enviroments
+Cool online features
+Cool Skill system
-Boring Story, and Boring charcters
-Unfair fights
-... but still too easy
Graphics: 7.5/10
Sound: 7/10 (nice baqckground music, but nothing special)
Gameplay 6.5/10
Story 5/10
Online: 8/10
My personal rating: 7.5/10

Summary: At last - a decent multiplayer rpg!
This is a Level 5 rpg that takes aspects of their previous ps2 games, especially Rogue Galaxy. From the free flowing environemts with very few loading screens to the 3 party combat system and the active chat - if you've played Rogue Galaxy you will be in familiar territory. The single player experience is a very traditional rpg with gaining experience and money from battles to upgrading weapons and skills. The story is pretty traditional (read: cliched!) with a princess being captured and the quest is to rescue her - although we don't have to jump an monsters' heads like certain italian plumbers! You start off by developing your own character, which then only has a bit part in the main story and you can swap between all the characters. You have control over all the characters' skill development and so can set up a fairly balanced party and you can control which ever character you like - changing characters is menu driven rather than using any buttons so it is not as instant as other rpgs (star ocean 4 for example) in the midst of battles.
The combat system has the appearance of an action rpg, but its roots are firmly fixed in the traditional rpg style - it is sort of time based with an imposed time limit between attacks and evading or blacking attacks depends on stats rather than physically moving your character. An interesting feature is that you can develop combos (the amount of attacks in combos depends on how many skills you have unlocked) and so your attack period can consist of up to 6 attacks without needing to wait between each attack. However more powerful attacks and combos costs various amounts of action chips (AC) which can be gained through attack or taking damage from enemies. Therefore combat also involves management of AC to either try and save enough for a massive combo of just use several minor combos.
The AC also controls the activation of the White Knight in which Leonard (main character) turns into a massive White Knight and deals out pain to all around. This uses a lot of AC and so is usually saved for bigger battles. Apparently other charcters get access to this transformer ability later in the story.
The sp side of the game is pretty average, but quite enjoyable. The graphics are adequate for the game and sound/bgm is decent enough. If it was just an sp game then it would be 3 stars. However, early on in the game you get access to the Geonet which is a great interface for mp. Initially it seems a bit fiddly, but once it is explored a bit then it is a pretty indepth mp interface based on an social networking site - you can read other people's comments and then link to their homepage and even join their hometown and your avatars can interact. However, i'll not go into massive details here. The main thing to remember is that the geonet is almost a seperate entity than psn - this means you can't link to your psn friends lists and only list friends who also belong to geonet - the upside of this is that you can have a specific friends list that doesn't take up space on your psn limited friends lsit.
The mp quests are bought in towns in the sp game in the adventurers guild - the quests you have access to depends on your Guild Rank and the areas you have access to which are reached through playing through the sp game. you can invite up to 4 people on a quest and this seems fpretty stable with working voice chat or text chat (in game - rather than just the psn text chat)
The final thing to mention is the hometown - you can develop your own hometown with buildings and residents and lots of other stuff. To make the items for your hometown you need money and materials and so a lot of the sp game is focused on getting materials for your hometown. You can also get materials from certain items in the hometown or certain residents so its good to develop it. You can upload your hometown to the geonet and use it as a gather point for quests or just chat. It is similar in style to the dark cloud georama sections.
My final verdict is that this is a great rpg and possibly the best so far for the ps3, only let down by the cliched story of the sp campaign. The geonet elevates the game above being merely average to a joyous gaming experience if you have friends also wanting to quest with you or if you want to make new friends! Obvioulsy this is not for you if you don't like rpgs or only like action rpgs (the combat syatem will be too frustating) but otherwise then i strongly suggest buying this game - even considering the great rpgs also due out this month!

Summary: WNK
Excellent game, but slow at the beginning, and need efforts to keep in. After about 2hours, the game pace is fine and story interesting.
