Product Description
White Knight Chronicles is an epic fantasy tale about two kingdoms in midst of a longstanding war. The King of Balandor, wishing to put an end to the war, invites the duke of Faria to his castle to celebrate his daughter's coming of age. But this celebration is sabotaged by the Magi, a rogue sect seeking to steal the White Knight, an ancient weapon of war sealed beneath Balandor castle, in order to take over the world. During the ensuing chaos, a young man named Leonard accidentally unlocks the power of the White Knight as he attempts to save the princess. With this power, Leonard manages to fend off the Magi attack, but not before they escape with the princess. With the kingdoms in chaos, Leonard is entrusted with the mission to find the Magi and rescue the princess. With the help of his trusted companions, they travel throughout Balandor and beyond on a quest to save the princess before the Magi unlock the other knights. The journey is fraught with danger, with Magi warriors at every turn, mythical beasts and monsters to battle, and forbidden powers revealed. As Leonard learns more about the power of the Knight, he realizes that unsealing all of them could trigger a calamity that could end the world.

I was looking for a good JRPG since there had not been many good ones on PS3, so i got this on a whim.
The opening cutscene was very nice. It was amazing CGI like something Square Enix had done. This made me very excited to play it since i thought there would be a bunch of these sweet cutscenes through out.
Game starts out pretty well... create your own character, join main characters in a random story to get some wine, fight some mobs to learn the combat system.
About 30mins to 1 hour in, the main story comes in. It is looking great :) I am playing as the white knight and its really powerful.
Now, it all goes down hill. The princess is captured Bowser style :P
Follow random story -> fight to save her... whoops, she gets taken away.
Follow random story -> fight to save her... whoops, she gets taken away.... AGAIN.
There is no life to the characters. They just accept the way things happen in game like a poor amateur drama. The fights are plain, and the boss battles are unfulfilling and boring :(
I was thinking to stop playing, but i checked the walkthrough and i had apparently gone more than half way already. Boy that was fast. The whole game tries to slow you down so you dont finish it in afew hours. Eldore repeatedly says "Lets make camp" and while he is not saying it... cutscene forces us to stop. To regenerate HP and MP (hp = blue and mp = green... whose idea was that?) you have to WAIT around.
The maps are either simple linear and boring... or annoying because you have to run around, come back to the start... run off and come back again (the map with the switches is the worst).
They boast that there are 450 weapons and around 600 items. The items are stupidly done. Like in the shop, there is a ring that gives "Def+1 INT+3". Then there is a ring that is "Def+1 INT+3 SPR-3". Why have a ring that is exactly the same, but one with a negative attribute in the same shop???!? Easy to fill this 600 item claim.
I think it would be easier to list what is good about the game:
1. Music - Fantastic music. I want to get its Soundtrack :D
2. Graphics - Pretty decent, nice controls too.
3. Online game play - Doing quests with friends is fun... defiantly beats story mode.
This game is only worth £5... really :(

I have been playing for 20 hours now. The story is not very original, but ok. The battle system reminded me of FF12. The graphics are cool. So far the only problem I see is that it is very easy.

After seeing the trailer a while back I was interiged. I brought it last year and I must say its a compiling RPG.
The romance add a little sparkle. Graphics are good but however those who are familiar with the Final Fantasy sagas can agree that it's almost a direct copy of FF12 for the PS2. But other than that a great game.

Generic fantasy story with slow, tedious gameplay...
White Knight Chronicles is the biggest joke to ever come out for the Playstation 3, so much so that it pretty much sums up the lack of jrpg exclusives on the system and it makes me... Read more

Not for everyone...
I have to admit as far as RPGs go I prefer Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect or Dragon Age.
This was way to cute for my taste. The controls are horrible and combat is a mess.

a good game when you first play it it seems rather childish but it soon has you enthralled very much like a simpler version of final fantasy. Buy it and try it.

White Knight Chronicles
Good multiplayer, and very interesting combat system. Unfortunately, it can get a tiny bit repetitive.
