    I’ve been waiting for a really great RPG to play on my PS3 and this is it.

    Man, I must say, the last RPG i played was FF12 and FF7:Crisis Core. Sense then, the PS3 has been dry for me so thank god. Im really really looking forward to this.

    @13 It looks like Last Remnant for PS3 has become vaporware, even their support lines say that they are focused on other projects at the moment. Last time they said that they swept FF7-9 for PS2 under the rug and we never heard from them again.

    This game looks fantastic and I can’t wait till it comes out! Level 5 is just one of those companies I always trust. I know their games will deliver hours of awesomeness (is that even a word? lol). Anyway, I’m really looking forward to this and whatever else Level 5 releases.

    It’s about time! I’ve been waiting for this game for 2 years now! Definitely going to buy it on its release.

    I have a couple of questions though, has there been any improvements made to the game since its Japanese release, i.e. graphics, features, etc? Not saying the game doesn’t look amazing, but watching videos of it I thought there was some room for improvement.

    Also, will the English release also contain Japanese voiceovers? As much I appreciate the work you’ve put in for localising the game, I prefer playing a lot of Japanese games or watching watching animes in their original voice overs but with English subs. So it would be nice to have that option. :)

    Please bring in the Japanese audio track!

    I’m kinda surprised this hasn’t really happened yet in jRPGs, seeing as how most people who play these games are also fans of a good anime or two.

    Please! Thanks again for your amazing games! Looking forward to White Knight!

    Understanding! (I feel like the old Mortal Kombat just now…). Well, look like I getting my RPG fix but when Sony, when…

    The patience is a virtue but God, I’m on a need of a great RPG :)

  • Neil

    Please give us the option to choose the original Japanese voice over’s with English subtitles. I just cannot stand listening to horrible English VO.

  • TerryVSL
    May 28, 2009 at 3:25 pm PDT

    Japanese voice / English subs

    Please.

    From what I’ve seen (and I’ve seen a good amount), it isn’t quite living up to what I expected from the very first trailer released (way back in 2005, I believe). Actually somewhat reminiscent of Final Fantasy XI, visually, but it’s looking good anyway. Still, regardless of early expectations, this game is looking damn good in a number of respects (I LOVE being able to see the weapons and armor change visually, however minor that may be for others) and playing online is going to rock. I don’t think it really needs to be said, but I’ll say it anyway: you better believe this is a day-one buy for me. Both RPGs and good developers need to feel incredibly welcome on the PS3, and I’ll gladly take a hit to the checkbook to make that a reality.

    Thank you for your time, Mr. Inaba. I’ll be cheering for you at E3. :)

    Finally an online rpg! One that doesn’t involve playing with thousands of people like an mmo. I always just wanted to do quests with some friends online. Too many shooters in this current generation of games….about time this came out, i’ve been waiting a while. Level 5 is awesome!

    White Knight is one of my most anticipated games of the year. Level 5 is the best rpg developer in Japan, now that all Square-enix pumps out is junk.

    Mr. Inaba

    How can I get a job to do a voice over for the game?

    • Tsubasa Inaba
      May 28, 2009 at 3:48 pm PDT

      We have finished voice over recording sessions for this particular title, sorry!

      I\’d recommend signing up to the SAG union and get listed as potential voice actors for starters?

  • Jeigh
    May 28, 2009 at 3:46 pm PDT

    @ghamdikh1

    Half of those are REALLY ridiculous, Youtube uploading and Remote Play being on the top of the list (one analog NUB, no L2, no R2 and no Sixaxis function which you seem to want), but ‘7- Does this game HAVE Trophies?’ (what is with the capitalization of “have” by the way) has been an irrelevant issue since Jan. 1, 2009. Think about these questions before you ask them.

    Tsubasa Inaba,

    I am looking forward to the US release. Great game. You and your team did a great job. I could not wait so I imported the Japanese version when it released, beat the game once so far and almost to GR lvl 6 and still having fun with the game. If the US release offers voice chat and japanese voices with english subs, I definately will be again, lol. But I do have a question about online… will US and Japanese versions be able to play online together? Thanks.

    plus i also was wondering are you guys mostly there with translating it to english for the us release cuz im drooling for this game i think this is gonna be a great exclusive :)

  • Spathis

    Tsubasa Inaba and Level 5 I bow to you, you guys have taken the thrown from Square Enix.

    Any work on a Europe/Australian/New Zealand Release?

    May 28, 2009 at 3:55 pm PDT

    Mr. Inaba

    Please consider putting in the japanese voice- overs. some of us are big fans of the japanese ones and we absolutely NEED to have it.

    Please.

    Thank you.

    i bet Sony will not advertise it
    we wont see a commercials until 3 weeks after the game is release
    that’s Sony downfall

    Thanks for the sneak peak trailer to WKC. I was wondering if there are any plans to integrate HOME game launching with this game? I think it would be a great way to play online with other players.

  • ShotgunSean
    May 28, 2009 at 4:01 pm PDT

    by the way i was wondering if this game is gonna support text chat ingame in case everybody doesnt have a mic? im saying using a keyboard or keypad kinda device also i think it be great to have home game launching option as LpSquall posted

    I’m excited about this title. I’ve been a Level-5 fan since Dark Cloud. Currently playing Rogue Galaxy and Jeanne D’arc. I have a question though. Will WKC will be as streamlined as Rogue Galaxy? I mean, there are basically NO load times in RG, even on the PS2, that’s an amazing feat!

    I have been waiting for this ever since its announcement prior to the PS3 launch. I can only hope it will be worth the wait(and it looks like it will be.

    Either way don’t worry because you’ve already got my money secured with this title.

    Is an HD version of this video going to be uploaded on PSN today? And is Sony going to show the full video during their E3 Conference?

    Thanks for bringing the game! Recently just beat Rouge Galaxy, Can’t wait for White Knight Chronicles!
