Developer Interview: Ryko of White Knight Chronicles

[QUOTE="st1ka"]

[QUOTE="jeffdoomsday"]Looks ok, just another decent Jrpg but nothing too really get too excited about. I'd much rather play a Shin Megami Tensei game or Final Fantasy.jeffdoomsday

to be honest at this point i´d take any RPG over final fantasy, right now final fantasy is to me as sonic is to most people around here, 13 better be good

Yeah they have been a little disappointing lately but I think 12 would of been a lot better if it had a decent story.

i wasn't too wild about the combat in 12 either either

The 360 doesnt have enough rpgs to earn that title and neither does the Ps3. PSP and NDS are closer than Wii, Ps3 and 360.

If we have a "jrpg king", It'd be the Ps2 since nobody has actually dethroned it :P. Unless of course you want to keep it current gen only, in that case Ds would be the king :(... the weakest link in the royal family tree.

Blackbond

360 has more then PS3 and Wii. That is the only "Enough" that matters in comparison to competitiors. Whether an inch or a mile winning is and always has been winning. Trade in your PS3 for a DS, PSP and go back to your PS2. If you're going to hide behind the other platforms all you're really telling me is that PS3 is just that much farther behind the pack. I don't know why a lot of people keep doing this.

Yeah I mean its not like Eternal Sonata is coming to the Ps3 next month or anything, Valkyria Chronicles isnt coming out in November. White Knight In december for Japan :?.

Where does that Leave the 360. Lets talk again after TGS if tales of vesperia and Star Ocean are announced for the Ps3 plus some new Ips... Its sealed, keep hailing that impostor king Playstation 2 wannabe called xbox360 while it's staged glory lasts.

how so?

Of Course its not impossible, lets see what truly happens and who shines for the rpgs announced after the event.

so next time perhaps it would be best not to criticize a console using unreleased games and predictions as a weapon?

by the way how could you talk about star ocean and not even mention cry on :O

Not baseless Predictions, valid ones. Sony confirmed that they'll show love for the Rpg genre during TGS.

And Cry On is like White Knight for sony. Ms Will publish it and a second party dev (mistwalker) will make it, therefore its staying permanently exclusive for the 360.

SO4 and TV are a different story.

WKC is published by Sony. Level 5 HATES Microsoft Disgaea has and always will only be on Sony consoles. Nippon Ichi said this because I believe they tried to make to put it on other consoles but only Sony accepted the game. Which is what they are only on Sony consoles. A spinoff to Disgaea is also on PS3 called Cross Edge. Valkyria is a PS3 exclusive and there are no plans for a port according to Sega.StingerVXIII

Got a link for that one?

[QUOTE="XenogearsMaster"]

There are no current gen JRPG king.

Blackbond

Incorrect. The current gen system with the best JRPGS would be the current gen JRPG king. Just like for any other genre out there whether it be racing, fps, sandbox ect.

The 360 has two legit AA JRPGS. That is half the amount of AA Exclusives the PS3 has released with in its entire life cycle to date.

AgentA-Mi6

Oh now Eternal Sonata is something? Why wasn't it something a year ago?

Playing its current line up of JRPGS as well as getting The Last Remenant soon.

I guess one can always hope. FFXIII came to 360 and we've seen crazier things

Keep making the PS3 look worse and worse then what it is. You're only saying to me that PS2, PSP, DS, and 360 are all superior to it.

WKC is the only one you actually have a point the other ones are very weak reasons

in fact did you know nippon ichi said they plan on making xbox 360 games?

as for valkyria well... there were no plans either for eternal sonata for the PS3 or FF 13 for the 360.... but that all changed didn't? so basically i'm saying if someone uses the "but the games will be ported to the PS3" arguement remember that it's a double edged bladed

Yeah I know right. It isn't saying much that the PS3 only has twice the amount of AAE's as the pitiful 360s JRPG lineup.

Its not saying much that the PS3 only has two exclusives rated higher then the Eternal Sonata and TOV.

Yeah its not saying much at all. For those of you guys who live by the review you die by the review , you don't get it both ways.

doesn't mean the 360 will lose exclusives

SO4 and TV are a different story.

so i guess valkyria and disgaea 3 will see 360 releases then?

i don't see how does the fact that the article is a year old has anything to do with it

Excuse Me? :?, I wanted ES ever since it came out? When did I bashed or Downplayed ES?

The Last Remnant is coming to the Ps3 as well.

And Yeah, SE's financial situation isnt that great, If biggest Projects when multi what can we expect for a small one such as SO4.

The Ps2 Obliterates other systems in the rpg department and the NDS has more and better rpgs than the Ps3 and 360.

Dont Crown the 360 before it gets some competition. The 360 is easier to program for all games come out insanely fast for that thing, the Ps3 is more complex all games take longer to make, rpgs are no exception.

You really don't get it. There is just a lack of Jrpgs in general this gen unless you count handhelds.

kage_53

Of course there is a lack. But that doesn't change the fact that one is better then another. I mean you act like this is the days of the NFC Norris Division or the NL West where they pray a team can just get to .500

AgentA-Mi6

No the 360 gets crowned until the competition of the other two consoles dethrones it. That's how it works. When you are on the top of the mountain you stay there until someone pushes your ass off of it.

Well I guess we should both just shut up and wait till TGS. StingerVXIII

i agree

although i disagree with point 4 and 6 as well (why would level 5 hate microsoft?)

Looks like the waiting is finally over PS3 king of JRPG! :D

Blackbond

Wait so you're admitting that the 360 is the current gen King of JRPGS?

The wait is finally over yet you are going to be waiting until 2009 :|

I hope this game does well but you um well wow. I see you're hyping it to the moon.

Yeah, true. So are cows hyping this game as AAAAE? lol!!

I'm going to pick it up, that's for sure. This is one of the PS3 games I've been waiting for. I'm, still waiting for InFamous and FF XIII versus as well. Gotta wait until next year though, but at least the PS3 will have something to play.
