Andriasang: Players without a clear file from the original are not going to be able to immediately access the sequel's contents.
Gameplane: "Many games can astonish players with creative gameplay or emotional stories. Others are remarkable due to the fun we had with them, while some are simply beautiful. These are nine JRPGs, which made us fall in love with virtual places."
On November 26th Sony Japan will host a livestream on Nico Nico focusing on White Knight Chronicles II.
The livestream will be hosted by Producer Kentaro Motomura and Promoter Yasuhiro Kitao, and will come with an exceptional guest: Level-5 President Akihiro Hino.
This is turning out to be Sony's very own E3 show for the holidays!
Merry Christmas!

Most likely, yes. WKC was a PS3 exclusive.
i hope for a localized Yokai Watch for Vita it seems very interesting and 3 milion Japan consumers are not idiots that bought the game instantly
@pedro
WKC2 came out on PS3 as well.
The servers for both games are down now unf. I really wish we see a HD collection of the game. It was one of my most memorable gaming experience from last gen.
I had about 1000 hours into WKC, and 600 hours when they took the servers down in WKC2.
I had these games in a backlog for a while, I was very sad to learn that one of the biggest draws to me (MP/online component) had been cancelled.
Fun games, but you need to be careful of how long they expect to support their titles, it seems....not...long.
Yeah, Im lucky cuz got the platinum of both WKC before that (too many hours lol )
@jspsc123
Im with you bro ! MAG!
I would take a White Knight Collection for the PS4 and a new game from Level 5 in the chute. As long as they keep servers up for awhile. I think they prematurely shut down servers for WKC on PS3. I know everyone is gonna be crying "Dark Cloud", but I'd prefer a new IP... WKC was originally supposed to be a trilogy, so there is no telling.
I understand why they shut off WKC, but I was still playing WKC2 weekly when they shut of fWKC2.
I'm hoping we do see a PS4 HD collection.
These games didn't get high ratings but for some reason I always found the series intriguing? And both games sold well. Maybe they'll make a new game in the series with an updated part 1 and 2
I still have my copy of WKC2. One of the most frustrating games I have ever played. Great though.
White Knight Chronicles was not the best game and got ripped apart by the critics.
Level-5 should make a sequel to the excellent Rogue Galaxy game for PS2. I loved that game!
Wow people disagreed with that statement.
Man I miss rogue galaxy :-(. It was such a amazing games, all those fantastic characters. I loved all my time with it.
It didn't help that it was one of the first high-prifile bullshot games last gen.
And what was weird about it was not only were those pre-release visuals much better than the final game, so was the UI and combat. And then there was all the DLC-whoring--like charging players to edit their avatars.
Digitally Downloaded writes: "There's only a few RPGs left to release on the PS3 now. The majority of development for those scale projects is moving to the PS4... but it is worth noting that quality over quantity and those RPGs left to release on the PS3 include Dark Souls II and Drakengard III.
With that said, I thought we could look back at the PS3 RPGs - both western and Japanese, and which I personally felt were the finest the console could offer. I'm very keen to hear what your thoughts are and which RPGs are your favourite on the console, so be sure to sound out in the comments below!"
I really hate when people put Skyrim on such lists. It might have improved, but what shipped on disc- which is what gamers bought- was crap Bethesda knew they could get away with releasing.
Skyrim gets no vote from me.
Then the author says people who like Valkyria Chronicles didn't play many JRPGs on PS3. Which is an observation I don't believe for a second.
I see Valkyria Chronicles as more strategy than RPG but it really does blur the lines. I think it is in a class of its own and I find it to be a true masterpiece which is a term I don't throw around lightly. (I don't even consider any game in the SOCOM series I love so much to be a masterpiece. The same goes for the Souls games which I believe fall just short.)
I really would love the series to continue onto next gen and perhaps add even more RPG elements into it. I don't have much faith in that happening though since SEGA always sends their games out to die with little to no advertising... then they turn around and kill off good series because of poor sales.
[I'm sorry about all the edits- it is hard to compose my words being this tired.]
Valkeria is my favorite...No No Kuni is a close 2nd. After that it gets muddled. Dragon Age is good. Skyrim is a good open world game but I dont love the world leveling w/ you.
Oh...and Kingdoms of Amalur is very good too.
Fallout 3 should be on there,it's the game that got me into RPG's. Still play it and always will,Awesome.
There are a nice mix of RPG's to chose from on the PS3. Hopefully, Persona 5 will end up being a game that exceeds expectations and is the best of the bunch.
Persona 4 Golden (Vita) is simply amazing.
that's actually kinda cool. i don't see why somebody would randomly buy part 2 with having played the first one anyway.
and who is gonna knock 2 full games for the price of 1?
Somehow I feel like this is not going to be the case in the final product.
well I have the first one and I think I am half way through it so I cant wait for the second iteration... I just hope they change the fighting system for the second one because if it is more of the same then I will be very dissapointed and probably wont get it.
"As revealed earlier in the week, White Knight Chronicles 2 includes the original White Knight Chronicles in full."
That right there is all I wanted to hear. Good thing I waited before I bought WKC. Sorry, but he rest of the article was just a blur after I read that.
yay good, then maybe people will play it and realise the reviewer's were full of BS
I cannot wait for WKC2, maybe I should sell WKC1 if the same happens when it releases here??
