White Knight Chronicles has been thought of by many as a title that would turn the tides of the console war in Japan. It was to be the first major, big budget Japanese RPG exclusive to the PS3. The title was scored a very sub-par 29/40. For a reference, the latest JRPG to hit the Japanese market prior to White Knight, the Last Remnant, scored a 38/40, and Enchanted Arms, a JRPG generally considered to be the worst JRPG this generation, scored a 29/40.

IGN Impressions " With Level-5's animation system, swords realistically strike other swords and shields, rather than cutting right through models. If a warrior blocks an incoming attack, you'll see his shield go up and physically block the blade. The collision is perfect. In White Knight Story, two characters sparring really look like they're sparring."

"Whi1te Knight Chronicles'to have massive online mode. Players will be creating their own online avatars. The player can customize his or her own avatar's looks and gender. The online mode will be an important tie-in to the single player adventure, rather than each being a separate gameplay component. The experience, items, and money gained in both the offline and online modes of White Knight Chronicles will be shared between each other."
