White Knight Chronicle

I was finally going to get around to buying Eternal Sonata out of boredom today but found out no one in the immediate region has it in stock. Then I found out this just came out. It's made by the same people who made Dark Cloud 1/2 and Rogue Galaxy and apparently has a lot of the same elements (like building stuff!) so I'm pretty interested. Rogue Galaxy had an overwhelmingly horrible story and all of these games suffer from tediously long maze-like maps but I still look back on them fondly.

Anyway, anyone played it yet? Anyone intend to get it? I'll probably post a blog-review about it once I'm into it so if you're looking for a (very cynical) review then be sure to check it out.
