White Knight Chronicles looks really bad

[QUOTE="mythrol"][QUOTE="Kashiwaba"]

Its safe to assume that WKC will be one of the best JRPGs of 2010 people who call it medicore are either fanboys, JRPG haters or didn't even bother looking at the game.

Well I played Eternal sonata, Blue dragon and Magna carta 2 and I tell you its miles ahead of them I played the Japanese version for about 5~ or 6 hours at a friend house and I can tell its probably one of the best JRPGs this generation probably only behind Lost odyssey, ToV and Valkyria chronicles.

I didnt get my call from GameStop. :evil:

[QUOTE="mythrol"] That's not true at all. I have no dog in the JRPG fight. I actually love the genre and have played almost every localized JRPG this gen so far. Also my history with JRPGs go back all the way to the original Final Fantasy. I'm not a hater, nor do I have a purpose in being a fanboy in regards to JRPGs, and I most DEFINITELY have looked at the game. Go check out the Giantbomb ~15 min interview which shows a ton of gameplay. The story is the same used up JRPG tripe we've been fed for years. (Boy gains mysterious power, doesn't know how to use it. Must explore world to understand power and save a princess / kingdom from destruction.) Nothing special in the graphics department. It looks very similar to FFXI in my eyes. Not bad looking but, nothing special. The combat looked interesting, and definitely better than the average turn based. Also the building your own town looked decent, however the space they give you seemed rather small. Overall it looks like your run of the mill JRPG. On level with Eternal Sonata / Blue Dragon / Magna Carta 2. Which isn't necessarily anything WRONG with it. However right up the ally of mediocre. Unless of course KevinV reviews it, in which case I don't doubt AAA status.mythrol

I didnt say 2010 I said this generation (Well at least till now) and as you said it a weak line up but you compared this games to the worst JRPG this generation (Magna carta 2) and you said its at the same level without even trying WKC at least I tried it and I know what I'm talking about.

Didn't Eurogamer rate it an 8? That should be enough to say that it's a great game.

play it first then talk later

Sure let me just go pop the disc in. . .oh wait. It hasn't released yet. I can only go by what the developer choose to show. And what they've shown is an average (mediocre) story. average graphics. slightly above average combat. Don't misunderstand me. I like RPGs too much to pass WKC up. I'll be gamefly'ing it.

However I have realistic expectations of where it will land on my scale of JRPGs. Right in the middle. Somewhere above MC2, ES, EA, SO, right around Blue Dragon territory, and below DS (if you want to call it a RPG), VC, ToV, and LO. I have far higher hopes for FFXIII (though diminished some) and RoF for 2010; Not to mention the wild cards, Xenoblade and The Last Story having a better chance of being one of the best of 2010.

Well just play it then judge it some games cant be judged till you try them since you already played a trash like Magna carta 2 and blue dragon trying this wont hurt.

I was excited for this at first, but I lost interest already. I don't like how the game looks artistically. And I'm not a fan of the combat system.
