Not going to add PSNs to the list unless people want me to, but if nothing else it makes things easier as a point of reference to people looking to add each other. If you want your name or PSN ID added or removed, just let me know through PM/whatever, I only added names that specifically said "picking up on day one", although I may have missed a name or two. (I think Qal said he wouldn't have it exactly on day one though)

Excerpts:

Japanese gaming site Game-Star! has listed several new interesting tidbits: first of all, the native 1080p high-definition resolution is confirmed again, which is great news as far as we're concerned. Also, in terms of the gameplay, there's a "dynamic battle system" that will allow you to switch between the regular characters and the "colossal white knight" form whenever you wish. We haven't seen or heard much about this Transformers-like morphing in WKC, but we're certainly intrigued. And remember, even though the game isn't traditionally turn-based, we've heard it will be a hybrid type; a blend of turn-based and real-time fighting.

Lastly, there are two new pieces of information that jack the game's longevity through the roof: the story campaign alone could last over 100 hours, and Level 5 will provide co-op gameplay over the PlayStation Network! These days, when a game lasts 20 or 30 hours and that's considered "long," RPG fans continue to wait for a ridiculously long and in-depth JRPG. Well, White Knight Chronicles should fit the bill quite nicely.

Hot shit! I can't wait for this to come out.

[Kyo]

Sounds like a plan sign me up, nothin like an RPg title that has tons and tons of gameplay.

[Stiker]

100 hours? In a next-gen RPG?!

I think I came.

[Elvis]

anyone know if WKC will have a seamless world? Like minimal to no loading screens between areas or a big world map in general?

Sorta like Oblivion..

Hopefully NOT like Lost Odyssey or FF12

[Arnwulf]

Damn that's going to be a great game, they've been working on that thing for so long lol.

[Kyo]

This and demons soul should take a chucnk of my want for action rpg's out.

[Elesirdur]

Looks awesome; I can't wait for more details to come out when they show their playable version at TGS later in the week.

[Kyo]

TGS starts in an hr well the keynotes do.

100h story = 40h game with a ton of forced grinding. I don't trust gaming company anymore...gonna wait to see if it's a real 100h or not.

20 hours of gameplay, 20 hours of needed grinding, 60 hours of cutscenes.

hi2u Xenosaga. But seriously, I don't even know if I'd want a game to have 100 hours of actual story. I have enough problems nowadays finding the time to play all the way through good RPGs, and one like this that I really, really want, I'd hate to see be way too long to finish in any reasonable sum of time.

I wish. I would probably buy a game with no gameplay, just story (text based game or w/e)

Xenosaga 1/2/3 had respectively 8h, 6h and 6h worth of animated cutscenes (XS3 had 4 more hours of dialoguy). The ratio isn't as high as people make it sound.

Looks worth the buy.

If gameplay is fun, then grinding isn't a problem. Hell, even a 40hr game is long. 100hrs is a pretty high ballpark figure, but if the story and gameplay is good, I doubt much will matter.

[Kyo]

I personaly like long games, I like to get the most of the games I decide to get, some people complain about short games and when they make a long rpg, people still complain, oh well, im looking forward to this one.

[Elcura]

Yeah, people complain about anything given the chance, but like you if I'm gonna spend £40/50 then I would like to play a game that lasts 100 hours rather than 8 hours.

[Kyo]

Couldnt agree more.
