White Knight Chronicles II Includes The Original WKC On The Same Blu-Ray Disc

Day one for both games.

I’ve started WKC1 – if I continue the content from WKC1 in WKC2 will I earn trophies for the original game still?

That’s a pretty sweet idea! Both games on one disc. I wonder if much more effort goes into production that way or is it really simply a case of making sure the files for both games are there at the start of production (I’m totally oblivious to game production in the factory)?

is there a release date?

This should be done for more games but, i guess its up to the developer

i loved the first game, can’t wait for this one.

can’t wait till my player character gets her own knight.

i just wonder if we’ll be able to use our saved characters from the first game in this pack, hope so, i’ve put a lot of hours in on her.

This is great news, but there’s two things I’d like to know:

1. Are saves from the original version of the first game compatible with the new version (put over 150 hours into WKC)?

2. Will the PSP title be available digitally (my PSP is a PSPgo)?

awsome buy1 get 1freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

awsome buy1 get 1freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does it have Jap Dubs for god sake answer this question for once and why not jap dubs? it’s been asked before the first game was released ever

Will WKC1 have trophies and the Home rewards? If not I’ll get WKC1 separately.

awesome this should make me buy it now.

Looking forward to it.

Might sound like a stupid remark but why is WKC 1 on the same Blu-Ray as the second, i dont get it. Obviously i’ll have to trade in WKC1 and get the cash/points for the second.. I just find it weird why’d the do this (dunno why i do though). Still, for those who haven’t played the 1st one its a good move and they say “The original game has been fully remastered and was re-developed alongside its sequel, so it features many of the improvements from White Knight Chronicles II as a result”. Job done.

1 thing i’d like to know will certain items ect from WKC be crossed over into WKC 2 like materials used in making your own town an will you get to use the same town with new things added in WKC2 and do we get to walk around as the knight with bigger aspects in changing armour ect ok guess is more than 1 thing lol

Will they be more WKC home content like a home WKC game

Ha! I saw a copy of WKC yesterday and wanted to go and buy it today, guess I’ll wait.

More enjoyment for less money, fantastic.

Not enough that we have two Jameses, now there’s two Rosses too? When will the madness end?!

(Though, giving away a full retail game for free with its sequel does make a strong bid for top Ross on the PS Blog. )

@8
That is what i would wan’t to know as well many of these games would be sooo much better if they had the original Japanese audio in them

wow
now thats generous

really want these, stop teaseing me lol

Any news on release?

I saw both covers get leaked online a few days ago but I have to admit that they look pretty good, especially the one for Origins.

It’d be cool if I could buy them both in a bundle though I’ll be sure to get both of them at some point.

This isn’t really news. This was announced last year. Besides this game is terrible worst rpg ever. Don’t buy it unless you like an rpg were your avatar is a no name character who doesn’t even get a knight and could die off in the first 5 min and it wouldn’t effect the game at all.

Lol

Lol

Thanks for the reply

Last reply is full of win.

I’ve been meaning to get WKC for some time, however hearing about the sequal made me wait since I can’t find any copy of the first game for a resonable price.

What will be the biggest change from WKC1 and this new remastered version?

Got the first game, will deffenatedly get these both on release.

@Ross. You have confirmed that we can import our saves from the first game, something wich im sure most of us already knew.

BUT can you confirm wherter we can collect the first game’s trophies in this one? because i heard that WCK2 does not contain WCK trophy data and thus we need to collect them and the PS home rewards using the first game.

bah now I feel like I’ve just wasted my money on the first game, but good for thoose who start with game 2

That’s awesome news! By the way, will WKC2 have any kind of online pass, like the japanese version?

May i ask Question ? You said ALL save games so do you mean also that you also can use a US version savefile ?

Will the game text in Spanish? True?¿

Lol Sorry for 2 times also

May i ask Question ? You said ALL save games so do you mean that you also can use a US version savefile ?

As you said earlier, there is not enough disc space to include Japanese audio. However, would it not be possible to offer the Japanese audio as (free) downloadable content from the day the game is released? It would most definitely make a lot of fans happy. More so, perhaps, than the inclusion of the complete first game…

Please answer this question.

Nice news

Also, I’m curious exactly what the changes are between the original WKC and the remastered WKC. Just various relatively minor tweaks for the combat and so on, or are there more major noticeable changes?

Do you know what this is absolute genius. i had no intention of buying the first or second WKC as i seen a few reviews and thought it wasn’t for me, but just because you put the first one on the seconds disc i will definaly be buying it. If only more devs did stuff like this for their fans and not just for money. I will definatly be keeping an eye on LEVEL 5 inc dev teams future releases .

This is great news.
Curious about the online servers.
Will we be able to play with people from the US or will it be region locked server kind of thing?

Either way, cannot wait for this to come out =)

I must confess, I really didn’t get into WKC at all. I played it for a few hours but I just couldn’t get into it. Regardless of that, I’m definitely going to pick up WKC2 even if only to show my appreciation for one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen a developer/publisher do; release a sequel with the original game on the same disc.

In the current landscape where we have over-priced DLC as well as launch day DLC – content clearly ripped from the game to sell at a premium – this approach with WKC2 is really admirable. Hopefully I’ll get into both games and appreciate the content as much as the gesture!

@Alestes: The graphics where updated to match those of WKC2 also.
Some characters look a bit like dolls in part 1, they look a lot better in this version. Some people had very round heads, but now have a more natural headshape. Stuff like that, that has been changed. The battle system is a bit faster and has a better pace , if I’m not mistaken.

I’m guessing these are both no longer due in May? If they are I suggest you start pushing online retailers to list the titles, so I can buy them .

I wish there were more JRPGs on PS3, and I’m thankful Sony Computer Entertainment Europe haven’t abandoned this, as it appears SCEA has.

What a cool idea!

I heard a rumor that to play WKC2 you need to have completed the orginal game, please say this isn’t true.

I am not a RPG fan but that is a good deal that;)

Thanks for answering these questions, Ross.

If you’re still reading by chance, do you know if the word censor for White Knight Chronicles II is being changed? I only ask because the 1st game censored ‘after’ and ‘con’, which is really annoying for the majority of English speakers.

Guess Ill need to hurry up with the first game, the game has been on my “play trough these games” pile for like a year and started playing it again today.

Hopefully Ill manage to clear the first game at least and possibly get some guild ranks etc.

Hopefully the game will have more content with less grind in later GR levels.

Wow, that’s awesome to see they care enough about the first to work some of the improvements they’ve made in the sequel into it and to then give it away free on the same disc. I was kind of put off buying WKC because I heard of a few annoyances in it but if they’re fixed and the game’s been improved then I’ll definitely be picking up II.

Now if only Level-5 would release remastered versions of Dark Cloud and Dark Chronicle

As you said earlier, there is not enough disc space to include Japanese audio. However, would it not be possible to offer the Japanese audio as (free) downloadable content from the day the game is released? It would most definitely make a lot of fans happy.

Unfortunately not. Due to the huge amount of text within the game, and the number of languages that text needs to be translated into for the game, there’s just not enough disk space room to add Japanese to the Blu-Ray.

this alrdy makes it a no buy for me and the no room is a lame excuse dump the first game and add jap dubs who cares about the horrible eng dubs for god sake all level-5 games eng dub tracks sounds godawful where do you find they voice actors?

I have a couple questions regarding save data.

1. Say, for argument’s sake, you don’t complete the first game and are about half way through. Can you continue from where you are when you start to play the second WKC and continue your story line, or do you have to start all over again?

2. Is there a new game+ feature like there was in the first one?

Will the game be good this time? The first one who really bad reviews.
