Well its funny how these things work, you dont hear about a game for almost 5 months, you think its dead and then within a few days you are told its not dead and BAM, its releasing on December 11th in Japan.  When they first showed this game I was flat out WOW'd and it made me even more anxious at the time to get a PS3 as I had to have it.  Has anybody else been looking forward to this?  Think the US will have it by Summer 09?  HOPEFULLY!!

For those who do not know, White Knight Chronicles is being developed by Level -5. 

(wikipedia) The battle system used in White Knight Chronicles uses a real-time combat system, where the battle mode is initiated automatically when enemies are present. Before a battle, the player optionally goes into the "Battle Preparation" menu (accessible at any time) and chooses a set of seven commands for each character in the party. This set of seven commands is called a "Function Palette", and several of these palettes can be saved, suggesting that tactical palette preparing and switching will be essential to the game. The commands can also link in some way, presumably to create combos. These can then be used in battle, but before a player can perform these combos the character must attack when the enemy is vulnerable otherwise the attack gets blocked or deflected. The player controls one of the characters, while the others are controlled by the AI, as seen in the Tokyo Game Show trailer. Players, though, can freely change the character they're controlling. The main character can transform into the White Knight when a gauge is filled, using normal attacks on minor enemies. Characters can also perform combo attacks with other characters, such as one character holding an enemy while another attacks it. Boss battles also take place in a similar fashion except that they may include cutscenes for in-battle events.
