So far this year has started off pretty awesome and this new JRPG, White Knight Chronicles, is keeping up the pace. Not your traditional, traditional JRPG game, the game has a real-time action orientated combat system which is reminiscent of FFXII's, it also has an interesting combo mechanic where you can land multi-hit attacks with quick button presses which are based off your skills that you assign for the combo, not to mention the ability to transform into a huge white knight. It's stuff like this and the game's skills system that keeps it fresh. The online portion of the game features a 4 player coop allowing you to complete quests that you purchase in singleplayer mode with others. Insert crafting weapons and armor and enchanting them as well, and this game totally feels like Japan is giving you a nice big hug.
On the downside, the game's story seems pretty weak so far. Standard save the princess stuff with piss poor voice acting, and even the script and characters seem pretty week (coming from stellar stuff from Mass Effect 2). It's got enough going for it for me to keep playing, that is until all the other stuff coming out totally consumes me in the not so distant future.
