More TGS goodness! White Knight Story ‘TGS 07′ gameplay & cinematic video.

A first look of level 5’s upcoming RPG for the PS3. The video posted before blew me away with the cinematic effects, but the fighting system seems pretty interesting and intricate even though it sounds simplistic at first.

Apparently according to Joystiq and 1Up the moves are by the press of one button, but the type of move or combo the character does is based on the position of your character so you have to watch for visual cues to respond accordingly, and based on that “loading circle” that keeps flashing at the corner of the screen.

The other thing that both sites mentioned was that you pre-create certain combo groups before hand, and can be viewed at the bottom of the screen.

Both of these ideas to me seem pretty innovative making fighting in RPGs a little more streamlined, and action oriented. Though it is doubtful how it is going to taken by classic turned based RPG fans, I feel that RPGs like the Final Fantasy series needed a revamp, and even though XII tried to do the streamlined thing the game was not as memorable.

Still I can see this game pulling it off as it seemed pretty smooth from that video, add the amazing graphical detail and it seems to me that the PS3 got its first huge gaming success.
