You serious? White Knight of all games?
I'm beginning to wonder if people say this for the sake of it or actually mean it any more :S

Yeah, I love RPGs and I'm a really big fan of Level 5's work. I mean, I'm looking forward to the next Team Ico game too, but there is zero information about it, so I can't rightly say much based on zilch.
I just haven't found a compelling reason to take the PS3 plunge yet. I'm not at all much of MGS fan (overrated Kojima wankery, IMO). I was pretty interested in LBP, but I got kinda turned off when I saw Sony was seemingly indiscriminately yanking user created content which was CLEARLY non-infringing, and fair use of copyright. I will certainly pick it up when I eventually get a PS3 though, it just isn't selling me the system...
I don't find Home compelling, FF is coming to the 360, most of the big games are multiplatform... So why can't this game be my tipping point that actually gets me to make a PS3 purchase? I did almost get one for Valkyria Chronicles, but I decided instead to just to finally pick up Tales of Vesperia (awesome game BTW)... But like I said, with White Knight's release, I just might finally make the purchase. Is that so unreasonable?

Do that. I really can't stress enough how awesome this game is. I'll be playing it for the next decade at least.

Stop the Bullshit square, everybody know that the reason people bough the PS3 was for the Final Fantasy VII remake, now get to it.
And port it to the 360 for mayor LULZ.

Not that I know of, last I heard people were calling Level 5 the new Square Enix based on the fact Square has gone with all this futuristic BS while Level 5 is sticking to the theme we love, knights, castles etc
I may be wrong, but looking on google gave me no answers, so for the time being, I'm gunna believe they have nothing to do with each other.

That reminds me, who really owns the rights to FF7?...
the only article that I could find in regards of that is this one:
"In December 1996, Sony Computer Entertainment America agreed to a multi-title publishing deal with Square Co. Ltd., allowing the company full North American publishing and distribution rights to Square's PlayStation product line"
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_1997_Sept_9/ai_19749216/pg_1?tag=artBody;col1
Not sure whether that means that they have rights over FF7 on NA or not...

I see, my point still stands, give people final fantasy VII remake already, is like they don't want to make massive amounts of money.

I'd take one of 4 or 6 before 7. With 7, it just takes a fresh coat of paint, 4 and 6 require actual effort. Besides, 4 and 6 are vastly better games.
As for Level 5, they're an independent studio.

Not really, FF VII is so old that it will take complete remodeling of characters and stages.

They will probably just remake VII on the successor to the DS. Yea, I can see the future. What of it?

Just what we need, more mediocre jrpgs. Hell, even Japan thinks it's mediocre so this must be extremely awful. Japan shouldn't even bother porting these games over here until they can stop being lazy and make some good games.

Then again, the reviews for Monster Hunter 2 weren't great either, but look how it's selling :) So I dunno.
Looks colourful, I might consider picking it up.

Almost all of Level-5's catalogue is full of quality. Dark Cloud, Dark Chronicle and Rogue Galaxy were all great RPGs. Professor Layton was great too. Don't condemn this just because it's a JRPG or because it's Japanese. Where would the variety be if we didn't get games like this translated and released outside of Japan?

The only good series Level 5 has is Dark Cloud, the rest are shallow and boring as hell. Don't even get me started on the Dragon Quest game they did. Seeing as jrpgs have been largely the same for the last 10 years, we wouldn't be missing much if none of them got released here.

Could we come together as a gaming community and stop using the term JRPG?
I know there's a stigma surrounding RPGs that come from Japan that there's that magical formula they all seem to follow, but the same can be said of a lot of games coming from the US. You don't see games like Resistance or Halo called "USFPS" do you?
It's a RPG, through and through, let's leave it that, shall we? :)
