This is great! Haven't seen anything of this game for ages! It's about time we see some more. I wonder what changes they've made in the time we really haven't heard any news.

Great, hopefully it wont take too long for it to release in US and Europe and hope it sells well.

And yes, Level-5 is one of the most respected in Japan, they were trusted with the Dragon Quest franchise and gave us one of its greatest titles (the greatest for many people) Dragon Quest VIII, and they have in their hands DQ9... Sony Computer Entertainment has a close relationship with them and because of that we got the Dark Cloud series, Jeanne D' Arc (Epic story) and Rogue Galaxy... They released independently the Professor Layton series for the DS, and it is so good that Nintendo is putting the money to release it on this side of the globe... If it goes by history, then WKC is another AAA title from them and it will be a commercial success, if it goes by the previews, the graphics are beautiful, the story seems amazing and the music is inspiring, so far, so goooooood...

 


I'm not saying that can't happen, but it'll be really hard. DQ sold well just because it's DQ and Professor Layton appeals to a good part of the demographic on the DS. PS3 owners are starved for RPGs, and it should sell well, but not OMG HUGE AMAZING well. Keep in mind this is not Tales/FF/DQ/Pokemon.

Tales is not on FF, DQ or Pokemon status.

Just thought I'd point that out.

Sweet, hope U.S. release is right around the corner.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Agreed, but it will outsell both current Tales of games (Vesperia and Symphonia 2). The best it can do is as much as MGS 4, in Japan ofcourse.

 As much as I hate to admit it he's kind of right.  No Tales game has ever broken 1 mil in Japan. it may be popular but it's not that popular.

White Knight chronicles will probably beat Tales of Vesperia in LTD atleast in Japan anyway. I guess it's to be expected though.

Yeah well....WKS isn't MGS. I think you should get what I mean.

MGS4 is 600k+ in Japan, far more than many RPGs not named KH/Tales/Pokemon/FF have sold. WKS sales are hard to predict ATM but it's not going to get over 500k in Japan, let alone 600k...

 

 Maybe ur right but u never know, the japanse ps3 owners is really eger for an good jrpg.
