White Knight Chronicles gets closer and closer as we pine away and envy the fact that Japan has had this game for months already. Despite it being out for some time now in the Land of the Rising Sun, Level-5 is still adding new features to the game! I thoroughly respect those [few] companies left that still remember that they gave birth to that game and treat it like their own. Well White Knight Chronicles, the PS3 exclusive RPG slated to reach North America in early 2010, has received a patch in the Japanese version which allows for voice chat among friends within towns and quests in WKC’s online mode. Loot drops have been ramped up to be more beneficial, and lastly you will also be able to unlock PlayStation Home rewards such as a knight costume for your avatar and a giant knight statue for your Home. Still unknown how they will be unlocked, but these features will all surely be included on the final version of the North American release.

Being rewarded for playing my games? Finally! We’ve been in dire need of a few more decent JRPGs this generation, here’s to hoping White Knight Chronicles fills that ever-so-painful void.
