25 reasons WKS will be the RPG to own

Oct 2, 2007

1) Let's get straight to the point: it's got seven-metre tall knights smacking the shit out of each other. That's taller than Shaq and about the same size as a Predator. We're sold already

2) Level-5's excellent RPG pedigree consists of Dark Cloud, Dark Chronicle (Dark Cloud 2 in the US), Dragon Quest VIII: The Journey of the Cursed King and Rogue Galaxy, as well as the Jeanne D'Arc on PSP. So it's bound to be good - we'd put money on it.

3) It'll be a mammoth 50-60 or so hours long, which puts it in the Oblivion category of epic RPGs. Must be all those cutscenes.

5) The character creation system will be more in-depth than Oblivion's, to the extent that you can even customise your persona's facial wrinkles.

6) Level-5 was so pleased with the ultra-detailed character creation system that it actually used it to create the main protagonists and around 1,000 non-playable characters. There's confidence for you. The developer has also created in-game versions of Japanese celebs to show it off.
