Latest White Knight Chronicles trailer has clowns, explosions

How do you make a heavily Japanese role-playing game appeal to an American audience? Add clowns and explosions, of course.

Sony has released a two-minute cinematic trailer for White Knight Chronicles, which we've embedded below. The game has a decidedly 'clean' visual style, unlike many of today's gritty games. As for the plot, we were a bit distracted by the announcer's deep, husky voice to listen too intently, though we did catch a bit about a forgotten secret -- the power of the White Knight, presumably -- being awakened. Take a look.

    I would buy this game cause it looks sweet, and you know what a Xenogears remake would rock, Omnigears in HD plus the battles OMFG that would totally Rule all

     really looks good...will probably give FF13 a run for its money...but then again, FF13 and VERSUS look awesome as well.  looks like the rpg drought will be satisfied soon...now if only KOEI will make a ps3 version to their ROTTK series to satisfy my strategy genre.

    This game did well in Japan.  They're wise bringing it to the west.  The areas are huge, too and it has a pretty nifty online component.

    The first minute seemed like a FF VIII remake with the dance seen and the assassination of the Queen Edea scene at the end of disc 1 !!    

    LOL
