GameSpy writes: "One of the most impressive games featured at TGS was White Knight Chronicles, Level-5's most recent work that blends together a classic single-player RPG and a full-featured online game that can be enjoyed over PSN by a party of four players. Both ways to play offer a considerable amount of detail and customization, as we learned today during Sony's presentation, which was the only way to see White Knight Chronicles other than in a short movie on the show floor.
As one would expect, summarizing the game's storyline in a couple of short sentences was not the best way for Level-5 to introduce White Knight Chronicles to a wide audience, but we did learn something new about the previously seen characters. The game takes place in the kingdom of Balandor, where Princess Cisna is having a celebration for her coming of age. A hostile entity called the Wizard breaks into the middle of the party, looking for some sort of special power, but for some reason ends up kidnapping the Princess instead. Young Leonard tries unsuccessfully to defend Cisna and in doing so he discovers an artifact that gives him the power to transform into a giant white knight. With this new power in his hands he embarks in a quest to rescue the Princess."
Spiffy:
+Full online mode parallel to the single-player adventure
+Customizable avatar system
+Giant knights look magnificent on-screen
Iffy:
-The game was not playable at TGS
-Some of the gameplay elements and most of the plot are not disclosed yet
Grab your longsword, shield and round up the fantasy archetypes - there are Ice Dragons afoot!

I am kicking things off by going back to a familiar well here - with a song from the Neverwinter Nights soundtrack. This is still arguably one of my favorite music scores in a video game ever, but I decided to lead off with it and then create something of a theme as I decided to pull all of this edition's songs from RPG games.
Neverwinter Nights (PC) - Battle - Forest Boss
I touched on the somewhat mystical quality of another Neverwinter Nights song last week when discussing City Docks Day. There were a lot of really good battle tunes in this one, but the Forest Boss song always stood out in my mind. The battle itself was not even the most memorable one, but right around the one minute mark, it reaches an epic level that just stuck with me.

B-But FFXII isn't last-gen. I'd love to see it remastered regardless though. Brilliantly fun game, I just disliked the story unfortunately.
story was ok, but very unlike the other ff storylines where there is a clear villian.
i just want the game for vita/ps4. international zodiac version would be interesting to play but i hope that the original glitches(?) are still there.
i had more fun breaking the game then playing the game properly.
would also be cool if they added dual wielding. would make some rare weapons actually useful.
I really would like to see a HD Remaster of both Twilight Princess & Skyward Sword. Those games deserve to be in HD
Are you saying that they could make Ni no Kuni look even better, because I would like to see that.
they could easily make that game look better. just make it as detailed as the animation. the 3d models had a lot less detail.
not saying it didnt look nice, just saying it could be improved a lot.
what i want to see:
Patapon HD Collection
FFIX & FFVII Remastered
MadWorld HD
Thrasher:Skate&Destroy HD
EA Skate series HD
Lumines Collection
VibRibbon remastered
Mario Galaxy 1&2 Remastered
BF1942 Remastered
