White Knight Chronicles
Long and ambitious JRPG, constructed on canons of the multiuser role games.
With JRPG recently there are very bad things. One of the most interesting console genres, almost in all unlike the western role games about orks and horned there is no time, now slowly decays because of unwillingness of developers to be arranged under modern standards. Qualitative RPG from Japan on current generation of consoles it is possible to count on fingers of one hand. All the others tell banal stories, do not allow to step to a step aside from a linear plot and still dare to use system of step-by-step fights on separate screens. It seems, even in Japan have already understood: it is time to change something. 
White Knight Chronicles begins that to you suggest to create own hero. Authors have collected the high-grade editor of the character with fifty parametres accessible to adjustment: from your growth an avatar till width of its nostrils, not to mention such banal things, as комплекция and the size of a breast. For the western role games it is normal, but for Japanese — it is unprecedented. In JRPG in the attention centre always a plot and characters of characters, therefore even appearance of all heroes is modelled in advance. Here it is possible to blind though the thick old woman growth of one and a half metre, with moustaches, 48th size of footwear, moreover and the Negro.
However, all rises on the places after literally fifteen minutes after start: just with love and diligence the created character actually simply supernumerary, a mute figure which will nod and pose from time to time the surprised physiognomies, and during the important moments for a plot will modestly be removed on a background. The present протагониста call Leonard, and here it just and is the classical Japanese teenager-razdolbaj who can rescue all.

The present протагониста call Leonard, and here it just and is the classical Japanese teenager-razdolbaj who can rescue all. Game vigorously enough begins. All population of kingdom Balandor prepares for celebrating of the eighteenth birthday of the local princess, the girl with sad destiny: in the childhood the poor thing became the witness to murder of own mother the spy of the next state, paternal the child has lost a speech power and so till now has not uttered words. The same day to capital there arrives the emperor of that unfriendly power to sign the peace agreement. Such state of affairs not to liking mysterious organisation Magi. Villains get into a city under the pretext of wandering circus actors and in the heat of festival let out on crowd huge огнедышащего the monster. The king there and then kill (paternal the princess recovers from dumbness), the honoured guest is comprehended by the same fate, and the most august person is withdrawn literally from under a nose at Leonarda who already has had time to fall in love with it. However, before abduction to the hero the ancient artefact gets to hands — the huge “live” armour reminding of the humanoid robot (Japanese without them cannot even in a fantasy).
Despite a fair share of a cliche and delirium, such outset carries out the dominant role — creates an intrigue. How two “decapitated” kingdoms will operate? What for have stolen the princess? What it for the White knight and whence it undertook? What purposes pursues Magi? On all these questions it would be necessary to receive answers.
Curiosity kindles also that fact that game leaves very good first impressions. As well as it is necessary to any decent JRPG, White Knight Chronicles it is as much as possible removed from problems of the modern world. It is a fairy tale, into which it would be desirable to plunge to forget about daily problems. And with a problem to pull out the player from reality WKC first consults. To take at least a city in which all begins: big, solar, light, with the lock on horizon and passers-by hastening on the affairs — in general, present фэнтезийный a megacity, instead of simply set of somehow placed small houses in an open country. And further, on idea, should be only more and better: ahead green plains, huge deserts, dark caves and the magic ship with the stolen princess onboard already loom.
