Everyone, thank you for your patience.

White Knight Chronicle -Pulse from the Past-

It's been a while, but we will be bringing you a lot of new information rapidly, so please check back frequently.

Now, this mega epic RPG is LEVEL5's largest project to date. We went through a lot of hardships to bring the game to this point, but the effort was worth it, and is something we can present with much confidence, as we bring the development to its conclusion.

In this orthodox fantasy world, in addition to the satisfaction of controlling a giant character, we have a transforming hero (lol) which has allowed us to create a world where kids now and kids of yester-year can get excited about.

There is a feature that we haven't told anyone about which we are preparing. We will announce this at TGS 2008 in October so please look forward to it!

Signed,
Hino Akihiro

EDIT: That girl main character has less armpit hair than Lightning.

I have to hand it to them, the monsters do look great though.

The graphics in this game are underwhelming, but if the game is as epic as its being hyped up to be, the level of graphics will be of little consequence. I'm looking forward to seeing what's revealed at TGS. I have a feeling it may be something PSP related, like download some minigame to your PSP, play away from home, then upload to the game, like that damned Chocobo PocketStation thing with FFVIII.

I've wanted that in a PS3 RPG for a really long time. That'd be fucking great if it happened - I'd love being able to grind for equipment/items/something else during my commute and come home to upload the results onto my PS3.

Nice, I was worried that the only other female cast member would be your silent avatar character (should you choose to make one).

Compared to other next gen jrpgs, it looks underwhelming. Sorry bud.

Dont really agree...which look consistently good? BD, but it has incredibly simple style. Only ones I can think of are Eternal Sonata and Tales of Vesparia. IU looks more impressive in certain aspects, but looks really rough in others...especially some of the natural environments. The backdrops shown in this so far look as good as any of those

altho i hope the gameplay is a bit more fluid compared to a year ago (old vid)

maybe that's why it went back into hiding for a year and they are now ready to show it off again. hopefully that's the case!

*Crosses finger for online related feature that involves playing with others or something like that*

This really does seem like their biggest game yet and the biggest JRPG on the console right now, so I'm not going to outright dismiss it.

I'm looking forward to what TGS will show of this. I'd love it if the reaction were positive though. They seem to be really proud of the "epic" vibe this game gives off, so I'm looking forward to seeing things like that most.

Not expecting perfection or anything, but more quality JRPGs would always be appreciated. :)

There are videos out there. There are images available for everyone to see.

If you are trying to say that taste is binary, I'm gonna have to disagree with you. Precisely how many JRPGs have you played this gen?

Yeah, I've seen the videos btw. They don't actually feature much gameplay either. As for the new shots on the site -- none of them are gameplay. There are some new gameplay shots in Famitsu, though.

It's the battle of the armpits. Lightning wins round one.

That sounds plausible and in line with "Only possible on PS3".

i think you have it backwards, the graphics are amazing and the artstyle is pretty conservative/generic. not in all parts, though. the tentacle beast thing was awesome, but style still feels too generic for a level 5 game to me.

don't get me wrong though, probably the best generic jrpg ever made.
