    thus proving there is an enourmous lack of good rpgs for the ps3 like there was on the ps2. Game developers should have made some like this sooner...

     This is good news. However, according to 1up, this game has been getting bashed by reviewers in Japan. I hope it's better than they say it is.

    @2 i've actually seen some of the things they bashed this for and i must say they were really reaching hard for just something to bash it with, like there biggest complaint was no headset capability which is seriously minor and that was the biggest i could find.by the time it hits the states or anywhere else that might be fixed or a patch.

    Well about reviewers bashing it, we have to consider that their taste is really different than ours. Take a good look at Gundam Musou series how good they go on Japan and how bad they go on US and EUR. I don't believe White Knight Chronicles will be remarkable but I'm mostly sure that it will be a very solid RPG.

    And I have to agree with @1, the lack of good RPGs on PS3 is just annoying.

    good to see an original title do so well on PS3. i think it hints that ppl really want next-gen JRPGs to come forth

    Now if Square and Namco would realize where the RPG fanbase is,the PS3 would be selling much quicker.

    meh, Famitsu gave Haze a great score. You cant trust their reviews.

    I'll wait till IGN or PSU pass judgement before I'm put off to be honest.
