White Knight Chronicles: International Edition (aka: White Knight Chronicles: Rest of the World Outside Japan Edition) will be released in the US on the 2nd of February 2010, adding yet another title to the already massive list of AAA games coming out at the beginning of next year. To make up for the year long delay the game has had during it’s localisation process, it will come with a list of additional content and features that it’s japanese counterpart didn’t have.

Over 50 disc-based online quests which can be completed solo or cooperatively with up to three other players. When the game is launched there will also be a lot more content content available online.
Voice Chat
The Georama. Something which appears to let you build a village for your character where you can invite friends to complete quests and purchases items and gear.
Live Talk which means that Leonard and his friends will have conversations during the gameplay to add more character to the, erm, characters.

So that’s the good news. The bad news is that we’ll have to wait another couple of weeks for an EU release date, there still won’t be any vibration, and whilst there will be multi-language support, it will only come in the form English, French and Spanish subtitles. English is the only voiceover language. Though apparently they did try to include the japanese track, it just didn’t work out. Though to finish on a high, here’s the awesome box art!

So they’ve managed to wait for more than an entire year and release an RPG two weeks before FFXIII? I would have snapped this up a couple of months ago, not sure now so that has cost them at least one sale.

    No, Final Fantasy XIV is exclusive to PS3 and PC, Final Fantasy XIII is being released on PS3, PC and 360.

I hope that WKC won’t follow the same road of Demon’s Souls… I know that one can always import it, but games like this must be played and understood very well. I can speak/understand English, but playing WKC (and other games that probably we’ll never see in EU) in my language would be priceless.

This game looks outstanding, a welcome break from the assault rifles of most other games, though it is a game that will probably take your life away, what are they saying? 100+ hours? Between this and FF I’m going to lose about 6 months of my life.

This could easily be better than FF XIII, but Square’s beast will comfortably outsell it due to reputation & slick marketing. Shame…

I Hate Europe, Sony should have something like SCEE but focuses on every english speaking continent instead of a multi-languagical system that doesn’t work.
Things would be much better hope
