Watch it here (http://www.eurogamer.pt/tv_video.php?playlist_id=17203). Not much to say other than the fact that it still looks fantastic. Hopefully this gets a quick localization.

It's funny. I still think the game looks great and the stuff I've heard about the way online play works is even cooler, yet I recall hearing some pretty tepid previews of the Japanese version not too long ago. It was kind of shocking when I read them as I remember WKC being one of the crown jewels of the PS3.
I'm still looking forward to it. Level 5 can do no wrong in my eyes and I'd rather they shoot for the moon and fall a bit short than barely try.

I think that was from TGS 07. They had it playable, but it was still in a very rough state.

Now if this comes out over here, say, mid summer of 2009, I'd be very happy.

Looks better every time.
I don't mind waiting for localization as there's a lot of gaming to be had elsewhere. I'll pick this up whenever it comes out.

I continue to be hyped about this game. That trailer was pure jRPG porn.

I have the same faith in Level 5 that I do in Valve and Blizzard.

Summer would be perfect. For the usual summer drought, I can play something that will be long and drawn out for me.

I'm adding this type of porn to my "must have" porn :p
The game looks incredible. The music reminds me of a few .hack tunes...not a bad thing either. I'm a .hack fanboy. Score sounded really cool...despite not understanding a word of it :D

Very beautiful. It's like an RPG crossed with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

What I wouldn't give for them to release that trailer song. I heard it during one of the trailers for White Knight Story previously and I liked it so much I downloaded a version someone ripped from the trailer.

That is a damn awesome song, it makes me want to pick up the soundtrack once the game comes out over here. The song reminds me of Shadow Hearts for some reason.

It's kind of funny. Watching that trailer again made me realize that, as much as I am a huge Final Fantasy nut, I'm just not that excited for FFXIII, at least not compared to the level of yearning I feel for WKC.
Now for them to get the game out. I've already got two of the 3 games I was willing to get a PS3 for. WKC will finish out the trifecta.

It looks.. it looks..
It looks like a anime storyboarder sent the package to the wrong place, Level 5 just said fuck it, and then ran with it.
What I've seen so far it sharp and glossy, but oh so paint-but-numbers.
Of course when it comes to video games this may not be such a bad thing.

Man, everything i've seen on FFXIII feels to me like a step backwards after the amazingness of FFXII (best art design, game system, and fully realized setting to ever appear in an FF game in my humble opinion). To say i've fallen from the faith would be an accurate statement at this point.
Now WKC, MAN! Some of the semi-recent material floating around had me a little concerned, i felt it looked a little too generic for a Level 5 project. That last trailer has wiped my fears away in a torrent of sheer, concentrated awesome.
And add me to the list of folks who really dig that tune, right up there with the opening J-pop goodness of Grandia 3.

One of the few games that makes me really want to get a PS3.
Is it wrong to wish it came to 360? (I know it won't)

According to Sony, nothing is exclusive forever, so maybe it will.
I've got to stop watching this trailer. I'm beginning to see the White Knight in my dreams.:eek:

You should download the HD version from the Japanese PSN, I'm sure that'll help. ;)
Also, the ever present purple frog can be seen in the trailer. What Level 5 has with purple frogs is beyond me.

You sir, are a sadist.:p
I think the purple frog = Level 5's chocobo. God, I just watched it again here at work. I'm gonna need a 12-step program or something.

What a great trailer. I'm curious just how much the mechs will play into combat.
And, Purple Santa, I share your love for the .hack soundtrack. It was a true work of art.

That looks amazing. I am now worried that the US boxart will turn into some stupid mess of characters.

Wow. I usually hide my love for .hack anything since...well...it's not a "cool" game to like or anything ;) Glad there are other closet .hack fans on here :D
It's strange since I'm not a soundtrack person. I think there is something abot JRPGs and their soundtracks that I like. Not that i'm a vet like Spigot or Gorvi...but enough that I just find them compelling. That said...I would buy this game just to listen to the soundtrack. The game looks awesome...and love that cover art...
