White Knight Chronicles is a fantasy role-playing video game developed by Level-5 and Japan Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 3 which was released in Japan on December 25, 2008, and was released in North America on February 2, 2010.
Gameplay
White Knight Chronicles is presented in third-person perspective.
The player can freely choose which character to control. Like most other RPGs, the characters gain experience points and level up, becoming stronger over the course of the game.
Level-5 conceives White Knight Chronicles as having 100 hours of gameplay, a length Akihiro Hino considers to be a full length RPG, going against the pressure to make White Knight Chronicles a launch title and cutting the story short.
Plot
The story of White Knight Chronicles begins in the kingdom of Balandor, where a princess’ coming-of-age banquet is raided by an evil Corporation called Wizard.
A boy called Leonard grabs the princess’s hand and leads her to safety in the castle cellars, where he finds a strange suit of armor that transforms him into the White Knight – an ancient warrior with the strength to defeat Wizard’s forces.
This marks the beginning of a life-changing fantasy experience, fighting against the fiercest enemies.
