The last time we did a story on White Knight Chronicles, we were bringing you a 14-minute look at Level-5's studio and the online components of the game. It was an interesting look, having the developers show everyone around, but now it' time for a new trailer (and even more footage of online play).
The trailer posted above is the same one that was played at the Tokyo Game Show last month. A lot of it includes spliced up imagery from the first trailer the year, before but it's got a few new things in there. The vid posted after the break shows us a little bit about how the "live party" online portion of the game works. Get into that if you want to know more.

Man this JRPG is calling me, I can hear it. I really can't wait for this game.

The in-game footage is kinda shitty compared to the CGI. Still it's Level 5, so it's all about a fun RPG.

The CG looks great, in-game not as much, also the HUD in the online mode is clusterfuked, well it's Level 5 so I'm sure it will be fun.

HOLY CRAP! It's been a long time since an RPG has gotten me THIS excited! (That includes Final Fantasy 9 through 12, maybe even 13)

I will be purchasing a second PS3 for this game just so that me and my baby can play in the same room together online.
Heck I may buy another hdtv as well!
Either way it's cheaper than upgrading two PC's not even including subscription based gaming.

Again, the CGI is GORGEOUS, and I'm counting on terrific gameplay out of Level 5, but seriously, what's up with the character models' textures (or lack thereof)??? So incredibly muddy and lacking detail. Are they really utilizing the PS3's power?

In the second video, they show off the customization that they're including for each character. There's a certain tradeoff to be expected in the quality of the character models when customization enters the picture.
Still looks very good to me. I'm looking forward to this one.

Hmm that's understandable to an extent. You can have great graphics and customization though. A look at Soul Calibur IV and you can clearly see that the characters can be heavily detailed and technically impressive.

Does this game have a hack n slash battle system? or is it like FinalFantasy11 (idk wat its called..)? If this plays similar like FF11, its a 100% buy cuz I miss FF11!!

Game looks awesome, I wonder if the online play will be as fun as Phantasy Star Online?

Oh ya, White Knight Story its not a rake all in like MGS4 (until WKS2 that is) but it is an exclusive. And I am looking forward to playing it. Maybe it will become like Resistance and greatest hit your FACE.
We need more exclusives doing that, so that we got BIG sequels of older games making super sequels on the PS3, after they realise the PS3 is a good platform to dedicate an IP t-ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD

They neeeeeeeed to totally go the MMO route on this. Make a tight single player story that leads up to the MMO side then make it addictive like WoW with raid instances etc etc etc etc..=D.....Either way im already waiting in line for this.
