White Knight Chronicles has sure grown a fan base of its own, and to keep the momentum going with a sequel, I don’t think fans will be disappointed. You can start by taking a look at the most recent trailer for the game, and then checking out all the important details and facts you want to know about this precedented sequel below.
Please enable Javascript and Flash to view this Viddler video.“White Knight Chronicles II is the sequel to White Knight Chronicles: International Edition, a unique role-playing game that combines an expansive story mode with strong multiplayer elements. Created by LEVEL-5, the acclaimed RPG developer of Rogue Galaxy and Dragon Quest VIII, White Knight Chronicles II offers a new chapter in the epic fantasy RPG and even includes a remastered version of the original game as a bonus!”
“The tale continues one year after the events of White Knight Chronicles: International Edition. Leonard, the pactmaker of the White Knight, and his team are the last hope to save the world from the Yshrenian Empire, which has set its eyes on dominating the three kingdoms of Balandor, Foria, and Greede. While the first game mostly focused on the love story, White Knight Chronicles II features a grander vision that unravels the truth behind the Incorruptus through 10,000 years of history, culminating in a true finale to the epic saga that may leave you touched by its conclusion.”
“The extensive multiplayer component enables you to tackle unique online quests with up to six players. The extensive Georama feature also returns, enabling you to build your own town where you can unlock materials to create powerful items to use during your adventures. Some materials can be collected only from the Georama and will give you an advantage in the story mode.”
“White Knight Chronicles II boasts various improvements based on user feedback regarding the original game. The battle system has improved dramatically over the original, with enhancements including new skills and spells that make combat more strategic, as well as a faster Action Gauge for speedier battles. You can also earn AC (Action Chips), used for transformation and combos, much more easily in White Knight Chronicles II. A new Auto-run feature helps you search a vaster area of maps. Finally, for the first time, you will also be able to create and upgrade a unique Incorruptus for your player avatar.”
The North American version will be including a fully localized version of the Japanese game with additional on-disc quests that were originally released as downloadable quests in Japan in January 2011. In the North American version, players can start from White Knight Chronicles II without actually having to complete the original game, which is huge plus – but as for the Japanese version it will require players to clear White Knight Chronicles: International Edition in order to play the sequel.
September is the target for a North American release with no exact or specific date yet. Not to worry though, for those of you that are interested, we will keep you posted. You must know though, that the gameplay time will easily go over 100 hours. So you better prep up for one long adventure.
