Owners of Sony’s PS3 will be pleased to know that they will be getting White Knight Chronicles International Edition on an exclusive basis, and seeing the name Level-5 as its creator ought to bring a smile to their faces. After all, Level-5 are the folks who introduced the critically acclaimed Rogue Galaxy and Dark Cloud series as part of its impressive portfolio, so hopefully White Knight Chronicles International Edition will live up to its pedigree as an epic fantasy adventure set among visually stunning backdrops filled with colorful characters, unique gameplay mechanics, and deep online functionality. It has already made quite a splash in Japan, where this version will received significant feature enhancements including voice chat, Live Talk, Georama, and numerous online quests to deliver a sophisticated adventure for players of all gaming levels.

Unique to most RPGs, White Knight Chronicles International Edition has a three-pillar approach for the online gameplay features – GeoNet, Georama, and Quests. After completing Chapter 1, players will be able to unlock GeoNet, which will allow them to create a profile, post blogs, text message and make announcements. Using Georama, adventurers can create and customize their own towns and villages, create or purchase objects, offer shops and collectable items for visitors, as well as populate their towns or villages by inviting non-playable characters (NPCs) from the Story Mode. Quests allow players to have a shared profile with the Story Mode (level, skills, and equipment) as well as communicate with other players via text and voice chat to improve teamwork. As the story mode unfolds, players will unlock new quests, accumulate quest completion points to improve guild rank, and gain even more quests with better weapons and gear.

This is definitely one of the more engaging games which we’ve seen to date, and it allows the more cerebral gamers who love penning down their thoughts in the electronic format to get into the game. This ought to see the PS3 move a bit more units if it takes off in a big way. Image courtesy of Endsights.
