You're calling this basic and comparing it to Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey? You're ****ing insane.
So Lost Oddissey and Blue Dragon doen´t look like they have combat system already used? I suppose that using the classic turn based combat as core system makes them much less interesting to your eyes, isn´t?
I will give some ideas so you can think on them:
1) We only have footage of those three games, so comparing them each other is absolutely worthless.
2) White Knight looks absolutely impressive, and that´s it, we don´t need comparing it with other games we don´t even know.
3) Who cares of 600$ here? we are speaking of a damned game here, you have infinite threads to discuss about the price of the system.
So at least you are a troll, maybe you will stop speaking about the price of the console. Speak about GAMES damn it, at least in a game thread.

I love the Rayman series. Frankly, it pisses me the **** off that they turned it into such tripe and apparently Wii is at fault for its latest turn. My presence represents my care for the franchise and the displeasure with the direction it's headed. If I hated Rayman as a franchise, I would never participate in those threads.

Really nice graphics! 
Not expected after the screenshots. The game doesn't interest me, though.

Let's look at all three games here:
Blue Dragon
- Turn based RPG
- Onscreen enemies
- Character expressions during battle
- Simple "attack, magic, defend, run" system
Lost Odyssey
- Turn based RPG
- All that was shown was "Attack" and "Item" usage.
White Knight Story
- Free movement Action RPG
- Set your own combo type system, team attacks, White Knight transformation mode
- Highly interactive, enemies and allies talk normally.
- RPG evolution - enemies defend with their weapons and shields, main character shows that he was hurt when he got attacked

this White Knight game, while pretty cool looking, is nowhere near the quality that I was expecting given what we've already seen in FF13. You shouldn't be surprised when ppl come in here posting a reality check for all of you who are screaming GREATEST LOOKING NEXT GEN GAME AM TOTAL!!!11!! when, expectations were running pretty damn high:
Compare what we were shown in that FF7 tech demo (or FF13 for that matter) to what we're seeing in White Knight. Its not that White Knight looks like sh*t, not even close, but its pretty underwhelming when compared to this stuff... or even Lost Planet, for example.
Its funny you get so defensive about a few negative comments yet allow/encourage blatant trolling of the $250 gamecube, a system which has never boasted its graphical capabilities...
Considering it seems pretty clear to me that every one of those sword swings is a button press (since you can see the flash and hear the chime on each one, and see the meter under the character's name tick down), I don't see how that's like KOTOR or FF12. At all. Unless you're talking about the other characters doing their own thing until you switch to them.jko said:

Yeah well the thing is, BD and LO are going nowhere. They change nothing, it's same old, new skin.

Remember Square saying that it would take them 5 years with an incredible large team to make the whole game looking like that?
The graphics wouldn't be so hot when PS4 and XB720 launches.
Blue Dragon looked more impressive to me than this, but maybe the overhype in this thread dulled my expectations. Better than the dull combat animation of LO to be sure though. I'm worried from how it looks that it'll play out too much like Rogue Galaxy, being made up of rather narrowly defined areas.

actually this looks good with its own style...let ff cater to what youve shown...anyway, I personally find this impressive, definitely as much as Lost Planet

Blame them for what? They MADE the system. They are tasked with bringing/securing compelling software. If you're gonna come into a thread and bag on White Knight and "$600", you gotta be ready to take the hits. I think Sony's PS3 price is absurd, but at least they got software to start to back that shit up.

Uhm, I think White Knight looks easily on par with what you show from FFVII:Remake, not to mention it has FAAAR more going on. FF7 was not that special technically, hate to break it to you - if that FFXIII shit is actual real-time, it'd be FAAAR better than it and so would this White Knight stuff. And I'm not even going to bite on your Lost Planet - the comparrison is a.) silly and b.) preference.

:Reggie: "Not my problem."
first, i never 'bagged' on WK, i simply said "whats the big orgasmic fuzz about?" if you had READ my posts, i said it looks good, and probably will be a good game. you need to tone down on your flaming and hate and be more level headed when you post, seriously. otherwise, :Reggie: "Not my problem."Amir0x said:

Yeah I'm pretty sure one guy ruining every thread by whinging about the same thing over and over has the power to change the results of video game development.
That video was pure joy! I haven't been this excited about a single player RPG for a long time since I picked up on MMO. Even the world map in the beginning looks nice. I've always dreamed of a RPG in which the party members' battle movements are dynamic, that they wouldn't just be standing there waiting for your next command (Grandia had sort of achieved that, but not completely). I'm not sure whether their sparring had any actual impact to the outcome of the fight until you take control of them, but the gameplay shown made the whole encounter look like a realtime scrimish, and I love how they continue to talk/communicate with each other during it. I can't wait to see more for White Knight Story!

Is that monster carrying a city on it's back?
Whoa.
So much RPG love for next-gen consoles <3
I vote that we stop deciding the visual quality of games by screenshots. Animation plays such a big part in judging the graphics. White Knight looks beautiful in every aspect.
We live in exciting times, every console seems to have must have exclusive games coming up. 2007 will be great for gamers (who have money).

Going by some of the comments, I'm not really sure if I've seen the same vid as people here: http://www.gameklip.com/v/1547
Animations look smooth, surroundings pretty nice and atmospheric. I need to know more about the combat system to have a better idea, but I really liked how the swords and shields made contact. Much more info is needed to make me say wow, even visually. Anyways, looks potential to me.
