Write This Down

Hail to those of Level 5 and their crack team of designers. For once in it's unbelievably overpriced existence, the PS3 has finally breached that wall that said "If you buy a PS3, your friends will disown you". From the brilliant minds that brought us Dark Cloud and Dragon Quest VIII, comes the first PS3 game to literally make my jaw drop.

White Knight Story, is the sexiest, and most seemingly gratifying game I have seen in a long time. I would say that I haven't been this excited about a game since Chrono Trigger... But truth be known... That trophy belongs firmly in the grasp of Blue Dragon... But we shall get to that in a moment...

Much thanks to Gametrailers.com, we have ourselves some HD quality footage to drool over. It's available in Windows Media Player, or Quicktime.

In the words of Tycho Brahe, "That's how you sell us a Goddamn Playstation 3."

Now, concerning my reasoning for eating up everything that is Blue Dragon... I had become somewhat excited about the game after hearing about Hironobu Sakaguchi's involvement, and jumped the gun on my last post without researching all the details. A rookie mistake yes... BUT, I am here now to rectify this error in judgment!

You see, not only is the game being directed by Hironobu Sakaguchi... But it's character designs, (as some of you more perceptive readers may have already noticed) are being done by Akira Toriyama, the original Dragon Ball artist, as well as doing the character designs for the legendary Chrono Trigger!

And that's not all folks!

Rounding off this lovely trio of game creating geniuses, is none other that the musical styling's of Nobuo Uematsu! Now if you don't already know the man, then shame on you and all your kin! This man is the legend behind the music of most of the Final Fantasy games, and with no immediate surprise... Chrono Trigger!

Honestly, this game has me so psyched, that I'm surprised that anything else is showing on my radar at the moment. Because if these 3 cannot pull off a great RPG, then I don't know who can.
