White Knight Chronicles 2

I really liked the first one, but I never did anything after beating the game. Should I go back and finish capping my level and ranking up? Or isn't it worth it if I don't play online?

If you don't plan to play online at all and just for the story, then no point worrying about ranking up.

Also, WKC1 will be on the WKC2 disc, so both full games will be on the same disc. WKC1 will also use WKC2 graphics engine and game mechanics while on the same disc, too.

[Dmitry]

So will our saves work on the new engine? I'm guessing yes, but I could also not remember if it was in the original post.

The online seems to me like Monster Hunter is, and I'd like to do it, but I just don't have anyone to play with. Hopefully WKC2 gets ported faster though and has a bigger player base for online stuff.

[Tobi]

It should since our WKC1 data imports over to WKC2 just as long as we cleared the storyline, so should be able to do another NG+ hopefully on WKC2 disc for WKC1

That's just flat out admitting that they released a half assed product.

Also, fuck you localizer, so you fucking left out Japanese voice track on the international version on the ground that the blue ray didnt have enough space, and now THIS piece of information comes up?

I GUESS THOSE FUCKING GERMAN AND FRENCH TEXT WERE HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE

Forgot to post it yesterday, got caught up with FFXIII.

heres to hoping saving your game doesnt take 10 years this time. only thing i hated about wkc1

[Tobi]

I'd rather have a better Geonet over faster saving times anyday

[Pirian]

I'd rather have a better Geonet over faster saving times anyday

I'd rather have both over one or the other.

[Tobi]

I hope they fix both myself. Getting d/c at the end of a long quest or getting d/c at reward screen before you can take the loot fucking makes anyone wanna rage. I hated that shit so much with RA3 mostly, got d/c right before Poison Greaver fight so many times.

[Pirian]

Well the D/C's wouldn't be such a big problem if saving only took 2-3 seconds instead of 10-20+ because then people would do it more often but yeah in the middle of a mission sucks

[Tobi]

Quicker saving times would've been so nice when doing BR, saving after every BR quest becomes a pain to the point where you just skip saving for awhile. The way things are looking so far, I'm sure they'll do something to speed up saving times and make Geonet less crappy.

[Elcura]

I think we've all learned how painful not saving after every mission can be.

There's apparently a rumor going around that Level-5 and Sony's PlayStation 3 RPG series White Knight Chronicles is a trilogy. Where did this rumor come from?

If you know, please fill in Kusuda Yoshiaki. The White Knight 2 director Tweeted earlier today, "I've been seeing here and there something about White Knight Chronicles being a trilogy. We haven't said anything official about it being a trilogy, so I wonder where this talk came from. This time, it will have a solid conclusion."

By "this time," he's referring to White Knight 2, which was confirmed earlier this week for July release.

White Knight 2 directly follows the events of the original game. Retail leaks have revealed that Sony and Level-5 will be including the first game in some capacity on the White Knight 2 disc, allowing newcomers to experience the full story. This pairing has yet to be formally announced, though. Neither Yoshiaki nor Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino have commented on the retail reports.

In other White Knight Chronicles Twitter activity, Yoshiaki gave some hints as to what we can expect from the game's third trailer. The second trailer hit yesterday and was entirely focused on story, meaning zero gameplay footage. Yoshiaki revealed that the third trailer will be half gameplay footage. Sadly, he did not give an ETA on the trailer.

WKC1 -> WKC2
- Avatar appearances, name, gender will transfer (no free, makeover ticket)
- Level: All characters (avatar + story characters) will start at character level 35
- Skill: Due to new and some old skills being removed, all skill points will be refunded/reset
- Georama level, items, and residents will carry over.
- Guild Rank will be kept (not guild point, points will be 0)
- Binding Rank will be kept, but due to modifications of many recipes, binding history (the check mark) will be reset.
- Guilders/money will transfer
- All equipments will transfer over, but enhancement will all reset (if an item was +10, it will be 0 in WKC2, lol)
- All items will transfer
- All GeoNet adventure logs, BMails will kept
- System Data will not transfer. So settings and things such as favorites will be gone.

For having WKC1 save
- Those who reached GR15 will be given (I am assuming it's a title?) "Proof of Expert" and GR12~14 given "Proof of Skilled" as presents...
- Those with Platinum trophy from WKC1 will be given the accessory (headgear) of Platinum Crown or Platinum Tiara.

God, I wonder if the plat crown/tiara would be worth the work...

lol at +10 gears being downgraded to 0 though, but at least they transfer unused mats.

[Tobi]

Platinum Tiara better look good or decent stats after all the hard work I put in to Plat this, lol. And reset enhancements also make me cry a little because of Dragonscale Body... I spent 3 days straight farming to +10 that shit, lol.

A whole page of very nice 720p screens of WKC2.

[Elcura]

That was a pretty sweet trailer, looking forward to WKC2 a lot more, I just hope they improve on the overall atmosphere more.

[Zilong]

I'm just hoping they didn't bullshit their localization like WKC...taking out the theme song and not adding dual voice track was a bullshit move on their part when their justification is like 5 minute a week download at most.
