    White Knight Chronicles 2

    Here's some things that's been confirmed so far.

    - Two new playable characters, Miu, and a knight protecting Miu
    - Four seasons and weather effects.
    - Ability to dash in dungeons
    - Powered-up effects.
    - New weapon skills
    - Dual weilding normal sized swords
    - New system "Turn Break" "Song" "Charge Attack"
    - Battle speed increased
    - Tweaked breakable monster parts
    - Headgear
    - New gear
    - 6 player online parties
    - Avatar has ability to transform, though it is yet not confirmed into WHAT it will transform into.
    - New Green Knight (which will probably be used by avatar)
    - New locations
    - It's set one year (?) after the original WKC.
    - Weapon types and elements will play a bigger role at monster parts breaking
    - A counter system as well being able to choose the timing of defend.


    Some detailed info on the new skills.

    Fortress Guard (White Knight Skill) - Transfer all damage done to allies to the White Kight in an area. If the damage is too great, the White Knight will lose balance.

    Counter Spear - During the duration of this skill, allows the user to auto-counter, take half damage or recover (hp?)

    Dual-wield Stance - Creates a phantom sword to use dual-wield-specific skills. The user cannot use any shield skills while this stance is active.

    Lightspeed-Slash (2-h sword) - Instantly closes the distance between the user and the opponent with this dash attack. Deals large amounts of damage.

    Devil's Strike (Axe) - Repeatedly press the button to boost damage. Highest bonus damage is supposedly 300%.

    Song - Recovers HP, MP, and revives fallen allies. Cannot be cancelled while casting.

    Double Shot (passive?) - Chance to activate after each attack to increase damage.

    Some WKC2 Screens
    Spoiler: show
    [Link removed]


    Incase I fucked up posting all those screens, link:[Link removed]
    Can also find all the screens I posted and many more.

    Data transfers for WKC2 from WKC.

    - Avatar appearance
    - All Georama items including cash items
    - Guild Rank
    - Binding Rank
    - Guilders/money
    - All items and equipments (with stat modifications)




    Some more info on WKC2

    - With WKC2's system, dragons in part 1 of the story can fly.
    - It looks like AC charging skills have been removed (Anima, Placid Heart, Pray)
    - There will be weapons that can convert MP to AC
    - Buffs can cancel debuffs (ie. casting haste while under the effect of spider web)
    - NG+ chests for part 2
    - Extra dungeon for loading a clear data (NG+ I'm assuming)
    - Cash DLC ticket to increase exp gained for 30 days.
    - The way weapons are enhanced seems different
    - Bounty / Resident request missions. These are also available offline for GR points.

    - Some new cash DLC items will include name-change, gender-change options for avatars. These will cost more than the current makeover ticket though

    - For those with not as much time to play. The devs are also considering cash DLC for guilders and/or GR points.

    - New hairstyles including those from story NPCs, such as Cisna, Leonard

    - Avatar's Arc Knight will be either slashing, striking, or thrusting types.

    - Overall difficulty of the game (single-player?) will be increased.

    - WKC2's story should be around 20~30 hours, doing all the sidequests should double that.

    - There will be huge updates in the future like JP WKC1's 1st Wave (skill balance) and 2nd Wave (Georama)

    - Reincarnation will still be there, just higher than character level 50. But the bonuses will still only apply to the first 4 rebirths. There will also be cash DLC item to reset skills anytime.

    - More Georama parts

    - The previously mentioned, possible cash DLC guilders, exp, GR points may be some sort of bonus. Like 1.5x / 2.0x money/exp/GR gained.

    - New 2-handed mace/club weapon type will be added to the 2-h axe weapon class

    - Weapon classes will be more diverse. 1-h will get dual-wield. 2-h's action circle will spin faster with lower HP. 2-h axe's damage will increase with lower HP. Staff casts faster with lower MP costs and so on.

    - WKC1 originally launched with 40 quests. WKC2 will launch with 130

    - New giant mobs: Wyvern, General Gigas, Dark Dragon, some sort of Elemental Statue (?), Wraith.

    - Spear gets a skill called Guardian, looks like it generates extra AC every time the spear user gets hit.

    - By doing all the offline bounty / resident missions, you should be around GR9/10 by the end of WKC2.



    First-edition of WKC2 will also contain special codes to unlock White Knight equipments for the avatar.

    Where was that confirmed again? In what you posted there it clearly says that what will transfer over hasn't been detailed yet and they'll reveal it in a future article or interview. I've yet to see anything personally that's stated anything confirmed above and beyond Leonard's skills and purchased Georama parts.

    The Q&A I posted was from last month, but it still has useful info, it was confirmed today what will be transfered over into WKC2.

    That should say it.

    You shoulda maxed out while you had the chance, BR3 is full of noobs now... it's like BR2 all over again. The good thing is, Knave 3 is still decent at least, can also make some decent money from it too. Can S rank Knave 3 in 6min~ and easier to find half decent groups for it.

    What GR rank are you? I'm GR9 and I wouldn't mind finding a static. I'm sorta close to 10 I'm going to try to find people for BR2 now.

    Here's some new scans:




    - Seems like all classes will be getting AoE skills. Even divine will get +Holy Light against undead enemies.

    - There will be some sort of "Chance Marker" during battle against giant mobs. Attacking with the appropriate weakness will force the mob off balance.

    - Accuracy and evasion will now scale with distance. Bow and magic users attacking from afar for example, will have increased evasion rates.

    - Heavy armors will be a lot more useful and faster this time around, something to do with the new Command Circle and Super Armor system.. Heavy armors will also have high chance to withstand enemy attacks' knockbacks

    - Emotes such as "sit" or "pray" will now increase HP/MP regeneration rates. NPCs from offline will also use these emotes.
