I can't decide if I want WKC II, am I correct to assume that the single player component is lacking?

Finally WKCII is mine.

I played about half-way through White Knight Chronicles before giving it back to my friend so I'm definitely in for both at $16.

My understanding is that the single-player is pretty much a fancy tutorial for multi-player but there's very much a story there which is driven by dialog and cut-scenes and so forth.

From what I played of the first; it isn't Level-5 at their best by any means but at $8 a pop who the hell cares. (assuming that you enjoy that style/pace of combat)

The gameplay seems similar to Final Fantasy XII or Infinite Undiscovery. Is that right? I liked the settings and characters in those games but hated, hated, hated the gameplay.

Online might interest me but I'd have to imagine that the community is small by this point and there wouldn't be any other newbies to play with.

With all the people jumping on board with it today(I saw it was also on the front page of SD), it's bound to have a decent amount of people starting fresh in the next couple of days. I know I'm curious about the online, though I'm usually a singleplayer guy.

I mean, I'd be more than willing to play with a fellow newb to figure the whole thing out haha

Beware you'll have to start all over. Only WKC 1 save files of a completed story game can be carried over to 2. Anyone else has to start over with the improved version of 1 thats on the disc, or find a disc of 1 and finish the story mode.

Thanks OP. Just bought WKCII been keeping my eye on it for now after finishing the first one a long time ago.

That was my plan anyhow but thank you for the warning. (I want to play with the enhancements and I'm pretty sure that savefile got eaten long ago)

Got one. Thanks, OP.

Score! Finally getting this! I liked WKC1. It wasn't perfect or the best game ever but it was decent enough. The ending really left me wanting more.

I'm ok with a short rpg. I don't have time for the genre like I did 10 years ago. Always loved the genre but with a CAG size back log, wife and two kids....i just know better. But I'll be picking up WKC:II from best by later this week so feel free to add me. Psn: shadowkastone

Also, i thought the servers were shut down for both games?

Did anyone else notice there's no more 2-day free shipping? I was hoping to get my 1-year free ShopRunner from this game.

I got mine with my Shoprunner...

Got a copy of WKII, been looking at these for a long time and decided to pull the trigger.

I've been trying to order since about 4 hours ago, and it won't appear. When did you order it?

Thank you much, OP.

Trying to exercise restraint and not buy WKC2--I'm already concerned about ever booting up some of the other JRPGs from this gen I have sitting in a pile (mainly Blue Dragon, Magna Carta 2 and Star Ocean 4) and don't need to add to that pile...

Snagged WKCII, thanks OP. Rented the first one and started getting in to it but sent it back due to cancelling game rental service. Getting both for 16 bucks is a no brainer.

Finally grabbed WKCII. Thanks OP.

Pull the trigger bro


Nothing, I MEAN NOTHING, can touch the wonderful smell of shrink wrap off of a 16 dollar game
