Sony Japan is exploring creepy ways to promote White Knight Chronicles 2. They’ve hired two idols to play with gamers every day until August 18. The footage is being streamed live via site Nico Nico, and offers all the ameneties one would expect from a web cam chat session on a porn site… not that we’d know anything about that.
According to site adriasang, “The two idols in these screen grabs that Sony sent out today are Meme Kitagawa and Yuna Shrakawa. Meme is a 21 year-old gravure idol from Chiba who likes stage acting. Yuna is a 20-year-old college student and idol from Tokyo who also performs in an all girl's rock band. Meme doesn't normally play games, but Yuna says she's a big game fan.”
You can check out the official promotional trailer that promotes Sony’s strange White Knight Chronicles 2 promotion here. And if you know enough Japanese to navigate your way through Nico Nico’s website, you can check out these channels for Meme and Yuna.

Above: According to Sony, visitors have left 8,000 comments so far. If you can't get lots of people to buy your game, you can always pay models to play with those who did
White Knight Chronicles 2 release in Japan on July 8, 2010 and received a rating of 33/40 from Famitsu. But do you really care?

...Interesting way to promote WKC2.
@Starplatinum Maybe you should actually play it. Okay I was disappointed with the game, considering Level-5's skills. But it was still a decent game and looking at the trailer they have made sure the battles are faster :D
