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.

Fun:
I bought this game a while back as it was only cheap so didn't really expect it to be much good. I was mistaken, really addictive game with a great storyline and very nice to look at too. The combat system is good too, it is your run of the mill Final fantasy type turn based system. The only negative thing I can say about this game is that it's too easy for a seasoned RPG gamer but it's still definately a fun game to play.
The online mode is brill too, you can build your own town that other people can visit and buy goods and you can also join online guilds to go and do quests with, sort of like instances where you kill a boss at the end and get some nice items or rescue someone etc. All in all, buy this game if you enjoy RPGs :)

White knight Chronicles is a pretty cool JRPG in the style of an MMO type game.
It's pretty anime like and if loved FFXII, I'm sure u will like WKC too, cause the gameplay (especially the combat system) feels pretty familiar.It has a big world and no random enounters, which means u can see all ur enemies and decide if u want to fight or evade combat. If u were one of those guys who hated the FFXII's System u propably like it either, because it has some nice Network features. U can build ur own town and invite friends to come there. U can play online with up to 3 friends and do quests together to get rare items u can use for the singleplayer mode. Thats really cool and the Multiplayer quests are almost more fun than the singleplayer campaign. Unfotunately the game has it's bad sides too... the Story is a whole "Save the Princess from the evil guys" - Clichee. There are some little plot twists but it's not to be compared with the story of a Final fantasy or even a Star Ocean. Second big problems are the fights. I mean the cool system gets a bit ruined when u find out that u can attack the enemy only when ur near to them (which is pretty ok and logic) but once u began to fight a monster it can attack u no matter how far ur from them. But the real Problem is that makes the game not harder, but i wish it would be cause it's so damn EASY. But the game is pretty cool though and i recommend it to everyone who likes JRPG's, especially to beginners.
+Nice Big World
+Beautiful Enviroments
+Cool online features
+Cool Skill system
-Boring Story, and Boring charcters
-Unfair fights
-... but still too easy
Graphics: 7.5/10
Sound: 7/10 (nice baqckground music, but nothing special)
Gameplay 6.5/10
Story 5/10
Online: 8/10
My personal rating: 7.5/10

Fun:
Honestly I cannot understand why this game is not more popular than it is. The story may be fairly typical JRPG fantasy but the gameplay is superb. Especially for the PS3 which has very few interesting RPGs.
This game starts fairly simple but there is alot to enjoy within it. Firstly, the combat is enjoyable, firstly its a bit irritating waiting enough time to swing your sword once more but when you get the hang of it and play few the first few tutorials it enables you to build your own combos. Basically you get skill points to level up all the main single player characters and your custom character (used for online games but also usable in the single player which i think is pretty neat) these points can be used to purchase spells or singular attack moves with various weapon styles. you then build combos using the various purchased weapon skills. So long story short, you get to completely design your characters fighting styles and combos. to perform the combo choose it out of the host of other moves you've set up and time your button pressing well to perform to perfection. Fantastic fighting style for any game.
There is alot of customisation in this game, from the weapons used, clothes/armour worn, the character you create for online and a single player sidekick, and not forgetting the town you create, although it is a meeting place for online you can also build it offline and recruit the npcs dotted around the towns to inhabit the buildings placed. Once stores are placed the goods available vary depending on the tenents and their professions. You level up and village and better items become available, there are even items you cannot obtain any other way and all this can be done without ever going online. Its a great sandbox stlye game in the fashion of the previous final fantasies without these crazy automated fights.
I have final fantasy XIII and although i would never say the production values and story of White Knight would quite live up to that, the gameplay and depth of the customisation and enjoyment easily surpass that of final fantasy XIII.
This is simply, much better than anyone seems to be letting on. if you buy it and give it an hour or two you'll see for yourself then maybe i'll see you online sometime (when i'm not thoroughly enjoying the offline mode.)

very nice, but easy
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. Read more

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.
