Can't believe that the first one did well enough to encourage a sequel.

i've been wanting to get the first game but have been hesitant (due to price) I'll feel about the same about this one, but this just might be an eventual buy. Eventually.

Wait, this isn't out in the states yet? It's been out for some time over here.

It also comes packed with the first game here.

I haven't bought it though, since the first game was really boring.

What? I've had this game for about 4 months now. The European release date was actually earlier than the American one? Well, that's new.

@Catolf: If I recall, the first game is actually included with this one, since they announced a completed save would be required before you could even start the sequel. Don't know if they went back on that though, I haven't been keeping up. Maybe it's more value as a 2 for 1?   
 
It's exactly what it looks like though, fun enough game if you can get into that sort of thing.

I think this game comes with the first one. I could be wrong but so says the wikipedia article.

Also, as was said, the first game was decent. Nothing more. In my opinion the saving grace of the original was that you could make your own character to journey along side the protagonist and pretty much ignore the story.

I had a lot of fun with this game's multiplayer and town building. I don't think a lot of people realized the main focus of the game is multiplayer-a quasi mmo type of game weirdly integrated into the single player. Fun if you have a friend or two to play it with.

I liked the first WKC, and I'm all for more console RPGs. I love my PSP and DS, but I craved some good old console RPGs sometimes too, and there is something of a lack of those lately.

Brought this last week on the cheap. I've started from White Knight Chronicles original remastered version and its pretty impressive. It's not the best game out there but its interesting. I'm really liking the environments. Not the best game out, but definitely one to pick up when it goes down in price. Especially if you never played the original like me.

Looks super boring. And this is coming from someone who's playing through, and loving, Xenoblade this very moment. So "go play Halo" doesn't work as a response. Just cus a genre is fledgling doesn't mean I have to pretend shit like this is any good.

Its totally a thing. Escaflowne did that. Bunch bad RPGs have done that. You just take something fantasy like a Golem then make it bigger and pointier, now its a fantasy mech.

Dark Cloud and Rogue Galaxy really soured me on Level 5's RPGs. Those games are so poorly designed and frustrating to play, I couldn't bring myself to play White Knight Chronicles despite the neat setting and some other intriguing elements. Those steamships look sick, as are the magical robot armors, but I'll simply assume that the plot is paper thin, the characters grating, and the gameplay bogged down by a thousand pointless/infuriating game mechanics.

OH... more reason to actually get the first before I can do this one.. I hate when they do that but if i wanna follow a story-line that would make sense.

It would be a 2 for 1? (I think thats what the persona above you said) the main reason i was interested in this game was due to the combat and how it reminded me of FF12's and i really did like that MMO type feel to it. I'll look into it, if you can get this game with the first one attached that would be pretty neat.

@seanon: @SuperWristBands: Yeah I found the boxart for the second game and at the bottom it says the first game comes with it. So thats pretty neat. I still might wait for a lower price but it's nice to see they come together.

I'm actually exited for this game. I liked the first one. The first WKC was essentially 2 games in one (because of it's online mode). Only problem was that no one spoke of the stellar online mode and just gave the game a pass. It's really worth it. Story may be 'meh' but the combat, however clunky it was, is fun in my opinion.

Aw, I read that as you can't have a JRPG without dramatic posses. Although I guess you can't have a JRPG without one of those too.

There have been several. If you didn't play them, like them, or hate the genre as a whole that's not those games' faults, it's your proper decision to have a different preference. Insulting an entire genre and another person because you don't like the thing they like is childish.

Also the original White Knight Chronicles has been sitting in its cozy gamefly package for about 5 months.

I miss level 5's older stuff, the art style was usually something different and usually fun to play, not saying this isn't fun to play, I just really liked the art style in the Dark Clouds and Rouge Galaxy.  This on the other hand doesn't interest me at all, nor did the first White Knight though.
