White Knight Chronicles

This is an eye catching RPG. White Knight Chronicles might hit Japan this year but probably won’t hit U.S and Europe until next year.

In his reverie, a happenstance encounter of a young girl who accepts her terrible destiny and a young boy fighting to save her, changes the destiny of the world. Uncover the light that shines in each of us in this enduring tale of good and evil.”

The Last Remnant

“The Last Remnant will feature a brand new battle system labelled by Hiroshi Takai (director) as a “Turn-burst, command-based system using symbol encounters.” There will be no random encounters.[1] It will also contain quick time events, sequences where the player must press a combination of buttons with a correct timing to defeat enemies. This system has appeared in other video games before The Last Remnant, for instance in Shenmue, Dark Cloud, Kingdom Hearts II and God of War.”
