Level-5 Has Big Plans For White Knight Chronicles 2
See Full ImageWhite Knight Chronicles 2 has been out in Japan since July 8 (lucky, lucky), but there's good news: Level-5 has a lot more to add, and all that extra stuff should - theoretically - come packed into the US version of the game.
Based on new details in this week's Famitsu and as summarized by Andriasang, Level-5 intends to enhance and upgrade their sequel" in (or beyond) January of 2011, they'll toss in a whole new "story quest" element; they basically let you experience a fresh story with your avatar as the main character. In this new mode, you'll find new maps, knights and enemies. Then, planned for Spring (or beyond), the game will net a "Guild System." This let you and your allies create a shared space on Geonet with a message board, rooms, and shops. Everything will only be accessible by members of your guild, which will have a reputation parameter as well. The higher the reputation, the the higher the guild level, and that translates to fancier rooms and shops. Other updates planned are:
- New equipment items
- New functionality for message boards (including favorite lists)
- Tab view and genre-based organization option for journal entries
- New colors and parts for your Arc Knight
- Seasonal Georama parts
- New types of quests, including quests with mega tough bosses, time attack quests and "free hunt quests" which allow you to enjoy combat and item collection without worrying about time, guild rank or level.
WKC2 is a game fans of the original most definitely want. Hopefully, Level-5 will deliver a US release date before long, and when the game finally does arrive, all this cool stuff might be included...

I had wanted to get WKC but since WKC2 has WKC in it, I held myself back for it.

I really enjoyed the first one, and I hope the sequel brings a lot more attention to the series.

I'll never turn down additional content, and I'm anxiously awaiting the US release of this, but I don't need or want an MMORPG in my life.

They're just making everything else a ton better too. Fear not.
I mean, doesn't that whole single player addition dedicated to your avatar sound amazing?!

This news on the online is cool because this was one of the very few games with online that used it in a fun way that even got me into it. The only thing I want is for the Guild ranks to be easier to obtain. The online was fun, but I don't really want to put a hundred hours into it just to gain a high guild rank and unlock missions.
Anyway, this is a preorder, day 1, gimme gimme gimme. Can't wait to take my sexy little redhead on her own adventure :)

I'm so STOKED about. This bit of news. The 1st wkc was sick. Been waitin forever for wkc2. And now we find out this awesome news ! That's wicked. Its about time my avatar will be the main character of the story. Even though I ran around as my avi in the 1st one. But now a story dedicated to your avi? SWEE-EET!!! When this game comes out, I'm lookin to buy day 1, or perhaps it will be my very first pre-order. Either way I'm not gonna be missin out on a single minute of wkc2 awesomeness. And the whole guild functionality of wkc2 sound friggin epic. Can't wait. I feel like I just touched my 1st tata again.

That game is so beautiful. The story might not be as long as regular rpgs but it felt like a complete story. Or in more detail it felt like a classic rpg journey. It actually reminds me of classic FF, FFV and VI to be exact. The characters are all likable, well imo.
Getting this game day 1. So looking forward to "your character's story/quests."
These updates sound great, they better announce a release date for the US version ASAP.

The price didn't drop before the announcement that the second would come bundled with the first, which resulted in me deciding to wait until it releases. So, with that in mind, when you give us an update on the US release, could you also do the same for the Euro release, at while you're at it, see if you can dig up any news on Dogma Wars?
Peace.

I still need to get back to it, get my characters to max level and do the New Game+ as I only finished the story once (it ended abrupt but I didn't hate it) and play through it a few times. Do more of the online stuff too...
