Such an early 2010 release should give players a few months time to delve into Level-5's world before Square Enix launches Final Fantasy XIII. That should make Level-5's Yoshiaki Kusada pretty happy, right?

Tell me about it...
I do hope Sony include the Japanese VA as a bonus :)

That would be Level-5's decision to make.
mahouneko @ Oct 19th 2009 6:41AM
Never mind.

Wow, that's earlier than I expected. Of course, after waiting so long any remotely solid release date is good to hear. C'mon Level-5, remind me why I love you!
dmd @ Oct 16th 2009 11:13PM
FINALLY!! Can't wait any longer!
Jampirow @ Oct 16th 2009 11:37PM
Sweet. I'll pick this up alongside Star Ocean.
dmd @ Oct 16th 2009 11:51PM
Same here. I'm really looking forward to it.

Wish I didn't watch the heavy rain trailer before this.
Not that it wont be good or anything like that...it just seems...well...ya know.

Level 5 has supplanted Capcom as my favorite developer.
Solace @ Oct 17th 2009 3:18AM
Insomniac is my favorite handsdown

At the same month as SO4 then. Personally I'm a lot more interested in SO than in this, but in the end I'll probabbly get both.

"What's wrong with one quick peek?" KABOOM!
Apparently, quite a lot.

Wow OK, White Knight Chronicles is a 1st party exclusive game now? Isn't that strange considering they've developed lots of games for the Nintendo DS?
I mean OK, I'm not one of 'em grammar nazi's that comes in and corrects a post, but damn, calling White Knight Chronicles a 1st-party exclusive is dumb.
Just because its exclusive to a system and its not a timed exclusive doesn't make it a 1st-party game!!!

White Knight Chronicles is first-party because the IP is owned by Sony. Similarly, Heavenly Sword is a first-party Sony game, even though the developer is not owned by Sony and is currently making a multi-platform game.
Windmill @ Oct 17th 2009 8:04PM
Interesting, I'd never heard that before, thanks for the info!
mahouneko @ Oct 19th 2009 6:42AM
Yeah, it's because Level-5 worked with SCE Japan Studio on White Knight Chronicles.
Completely forgot about the existence of SCE Japan Studios.
Windmill @ Oct 19th 2009 6:28PM
Yeah I checked it out later and found that Sony of Japan was working on it too. Then I had a "a-ha" moment, like the investigators of the balloon boy.

Isn't that one guy the voice actor of Togusa from Ghost in the Shell?????
Aaron @ Oct 17th 2009 10:28AM
Tasty! Please bring moar JPRGs ASAP!
dmd @ Oct 17th 2009 4:20PM
Big fan of the genre as well. I wish Tales of Vesperia came to US.

The import reviews have been very negative even calling WKC the worst Level 5 game to date. The Japanese didn't like it either, and it didn't sell really great, so it kinda puzzles me why they decided to announce a sequel instead of choosing a more popular franchise like Dark Cloud or Rogue Galaxy.
On a more positive note, I've read Level 5 redid A LOT of stuff for the overseas release and I really hope it turns out to be a much better game. I'm also hoping they don't take too long with the European release, it has taken long enough already (1 year and 2 months...).

If I like Jeanne D'Arc, will I like this one?
Djiego @ Oct 18th 2009 9:22PM
mmmm, Ill be honest, the lip syncing didnt look too good but hey, its Level-5, enough said.
