White Knight Chronicles: Pulse of the Ancients -- 12/25 @ Japan

[Pai Pai Master]

From the latest Famitsu.





The interview sheds light on an unannounced feature that Level5 claims is new to traditional RPGs. It is something that "can only be done with PS3." Which, I assume is standard developer talk for something that could be done on any platform if they wanted to.

Image links are broken.

Also, It would be nice for once... just once... if Level 5 would learn how to make normal, text-based menus instead of item menus with pictures for those with a first grade reading level.

If you're big into Japanese imports, you might be interested in this bonus they're doing for White Knight Chronicles in Japan.

When you preorder the game, you'll receive this bonus CD, "Level-5 x PlayStation," a collection of OST music from all of Level-5's games over the span of PS2 and PS3, with the exception of Dragon Quest VIII.




And a few more updates from the game's creator. He claims the story quality is on par with the Dragon Quest series, so players should look to a more open adventure than a more personalized story like Final Fantasy. He also confirmed that the game will be the first next-gen RPG to run in native 1080p resolution. Visually, he says that the game shares a lot with the high quality of both Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy, and also says that there are many gameplay aspects similar to Monster Hunter. Sounds to me like he wants to assure people that they're making a game on par with other popular RPGs. I don't think that's something someone from Level-5 needs to do, but it's nice to hear about the 1080p bit.

And some new screenshots.





















We'll finally see the game in motion again in 15 days at Tokyo Games Show.

I'm torn between NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO and YES!!!! Damn it! My 52" in the living room is 1080p YAY.......BUT my daughter basically lives in my living room so I can play my PS3 for an hour to an hour and a half a day. Thats the only time there aren't screaming kids around or a sleeping daughter (the couch is her bed).

It's too bad the kids aren't a bit older, otherwise this would be the perfect time to get them hooked on video games!

Well the 5 yr old already is. He likes fighting games the most because you can button mash. He's allowed to play on the older systems for now only.

Just get a new 1080p TV/display for your room. It's a good excuse and all.

I told hubby that you said that Ray and he told me to ask you if he can borrow your credit card. I use a 28" LCD TV for my computer and its 720p so if I want to play more than an hour I'm just going to have to suck it up and play on that.

The graphics don't look that fantastic.

Ah, but there are just so many things to love about Soul Calibur

Hmm, 5 years old eh? You should totally make the transition from Spongebob to something like ye olde Transformers or the Beastwars (or both!)

Re: White Knight Chronicles: Pulse of the Ancients -- 12/25 @ Japan

Oh he's TOTALLY into Transformers. His mother uses the damn movie as a babysitter because no matter how many times the kid has seen it, he'll sit through it again. (Fyi, I do not approve but can't really say much.)

Didn't you get the memo? They don't accept credit cards from here over there.
