The upcoming issue of Weekly Famitsu has a review on Shirokishi Monogatari: Inishie no Kodou (aka White Knight Chronicles) with the final score at 29/40 (7,8,7,7) or in my own words, slightly above average based on their past reviews of RPGs. While the beautiful world, customizable combos and the epic battles between Shirokishi (White Knight) and giant bosses get praises from most of the Cross Review Panel members, they universally think the chatting system needs plenty of improvement. One of the main reasons is it’s hard to chat with your friends while moving around or during battles, one reviewer wish for some sort of auto control mechanics while another hope it can be fixed in future patches. Sounds like a call for voice chat to me. The story and battle system are said to be easy but the latter might be too simplistic according to one of the reviewers. Other complaints include the not so user friendly menu and battle controls, one of them wish for an easier way of weapon fusion and upgrade. The mag notes that it takes around 30 hours before you can see the ending.
