Trivia / White Knight Chronicles

• Actor Allusion: Crispin Freeman, once played another white haired guy named Balmung of the .hack// world.
• Development Hell: The first game was announced by Level-5 as a PS3 launch title. It was released in Japan ... two years after the PS3's debut.
• No Export for You: The Avatar Sidequests never made it to North America or Europe, and White Knight Chronicles: Origins, never made it to NA either despite being localized in Europe.
• Playing Against Type: Dana Snyder, the voice of Master Shake and other comical assholes, plays Belcitane, someone whose maliciousness is not Played for Laughs.
• What Could Have Been: Compare the 2006 TGS announce trailer with actual gameplay footage and see if you can spot any differences.
  • Scardigne was originally supposed to be a 100% original, 100% male character complete with his own Farian-flared Incorruptus, referred to in the book as the “God of War,”◊ (seen at the end of this update) which you would retrieve from a place known as Ences Temple, which itself was also Dummied Out of the game. Why it became Kara instead is unknown, nor is there a reason why she couldn’t have the God of War herself, seeing as how she took everything else associated with Scardigne, other than it was an idea that came about at a later stage in the duology’s development and was axed because it countermanded the game lore’s “Five Knights and only five Knights” commandment.
