- Several new pieces of concept art, including some airships, castles, and what we assume is a dungeon etched into the side of a mountain, akin to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
- Pretty much everything under the System menu is new -- character creation details we can't read (it is now touted that you can create female characters, too apparently), the battle/combo system is explained as well as your White Knight transformation ability.
- Under the Character tab, you can see what seems to be the bad guys, led by the stereotypical long, white-haired badass. Lame, but we'll forgive Level 5 for now as we're basing this on assumption. There's a girl with a big ugly frog pet, A dude, and a Moogle-like creature. Oh, also a neat picture of some of the big Knights.

The biggest issue I've had with Level-5 games since Dark Cloud 2 is the terribly generic and bland character designs. I exclude Dark Cloud 1's, because I kind of liked some of the designs. But, Level-5 really needs to hire a competent and original character designer. Which, I'm sure, is difficult to find in Japan, of all places, where only a small amount of character designers are actually any good, and don't adopt that terrible and bland anime art style.

Level-5 never tries to be original. All they do is perfect the standard. They don't make Ferraris, per se; they tune BMW's. Look at Dragon Quest: Generic RPG sample 1. It was the (in the opinion of most) pinnicle of turnbased RPG games. I feel that way about Jeanne. It's not very different from any other tactics game, but it does everything right. If they can perfect the Adventure RPG with WKS, I'd rather have that than a game from some genre never tried. (But I can say that I didn't like Monica from DK2. She's more of a man than Vaan, though.)

When is this game gonna be in my PS3?

I thought Rogue Galaxy had some truly unique characters. Level 5 is growing and getting better with every game they develop, so I'm looking forward to this one.

Im just glad its only for Ps3. All thanks to the japanese Ps3 consumers and high install base, the Ps3 is going to have some unique games in the future.

it's hard to say what's the better RPG exclusives: Lost Odyssey and Mass Effect or White Knight and FF 13.
let's just play them all shall we?
