RPG's are something that I've been playing for a long time. All the way back to the days of Final Fantasy IV (FF2 in NA) straight through to Rogue Galaxy and beyond. They've always been such an important part of my life and even though I often times find the gameplay of something like Grand Theft Auto or Zelda a little more appealing they still manage to capture me with their diverse stories and amazingly detailed characters.
White Knight Chronicles is one of the few JRPG's that was designed exclusively for the Playstation 3 and I have to say I'm a lot more impressed then I thought I was going to be. Almost 2 years ago when I first heard of the game, I didn't think much of it. It looked like another amazing Level 5 for sure, but I didn't see it blowing me away. However, more recently I've been looking into it and playing some Level 5 classics like Dark Cloud and Rogue Galaxy and I have to say this game here looks amazing. This week I featured a video demonstrating the online functionality and customization options that will be implemented in the game and I have to say I really can't wait to get my hands on this game! A lot of the customization from Dark Cloud seems to be present along with a Monster Hunter style online play. Not to mention how amazing the main story looks. This game seems to have it all but will it be as easily playable as it is to watch? The battle system (the game's original selling point) has now got me skeptical, but I suppose we'll have to see.
White Knight Chronicles hits stores on my birthday, February 2nd (North America) and I hope every single one of you PS3 owners out there will pick it up. Let me know what your impressions are in the comments section below.

You know how Infamous was my GOTY last year? well WKC is my GOTY this year! omg I'm gonna play it so much and I'm really excited to play it online because of all the awesome features. I also can't wait to see references to past Level 5 games like Toady and Georama.
