White Knight Chronicles - The Awakening of the Light & Darkness

White Knight Chronicles 2 Screens

To conicide with the release of White Knight Chronicles EX, the expanded version of the original game, Sony has released some very teasing screens of White Knight Chronicles 2. These are all the more teasing thanks to the fact we're still waiting for the first game's Western release!

 

The game takes place directly after the original, following Leonard once again with the player creating an avatar that will accompany and assist Leonard in his adventures, essentially becoming his right hand man or woman.

 

Several of the screens released by Sony showcase some of the avatar creation possibilities, so we think it's pretty likely that system will be significantly beefed up from the one that was present in the first title.

The latest Famitsu issue contains some new details regarding the upcoming Playstation 3 RPG, White Knight Chronicles 2.

 

According to the Japanese gaming magazine, the battle gauge in the sequel has been sped up compared to the first game. Furthermore, you can now use the dash ability. White Knight Chronicles 2’s environments will also be more dynamic as the scenery can change with the different seasons and weather patterns. Finally, a new character named Miu will be joining the cast.

 

RPG fans don’t have to wait that much longer for White Knight Chronicles 2 as Famitsu revealed that it is slated for a summer release in Japan.

White Knight Chronicles 2 Includes White Knight Chronicles 1

Experience the full White Knight Chronicles story on one disc.

 

You want value for your buck? Then check out this sweet bonus from Level-5 and Sony. A retail listing for White Knight Chronicles 2 reveals that the sequel will include the latest revision of the original White Knight Chronicles.

 

Not only does this make for a potentially killer bonus, it also makes a lot of sense. White Knight 2's story takes place one year after the events of the original. Having both story modes included on the same disc will mean newcomers will be able to experience the full story.

 

Like most retail listings, this one appears to be cut and pasted from officially distributed materials, so it's likely legit.

 

Separately, Game Jouhou reports that it heard from another retailer that the White Knight 1 component will be updated to White Knight 2 specifications in terms of gameplay and graphics. This retailer told Game Jouhou that the information about the inclusion of White Knight 1 wasn't supposed to be made public until June 3.

Over 70 new White Knight Chronicles 2 screenshots

Famitsu has a short two page spread on White Knight Chronicles 2 this week. But included in the update is confirmation of some things that have needed confirming for quite some time.

 

First up, that whole thing about the inclusion of the original White Knight Chronicles. This was leaked out by retailers weeks ago but was never fully confirmed by Sony or Level-5.

 

Famitsu confirms that the latest version of the original White Knight will be included in full. In White Knight 2, the original White Knight, Inishie no Kodou, is referred to as "1st part" while the sequel, Hikari to Yami no Kakusei, is referred to as "2nd part." 1st part will include the 130+ pieces of content that were distributed as online download content. Additionally, the graphics and gameplay systems have been updated to 2nd Part standard, giving you access to some of the new gameplay features.

 

The magazine is a bit vague on what happens when the two games, the original and the sequel, attempt to interact with one another. It seems that players of the sequel will only be able to interact with other sequel players. Same goes for players of the original. Sequel owners will have access to quests for both games, but owners of the original will only have access to quests for the original.

 

Famitsu also has details on another feature that was first confirmed through slightly unofficial sources (in this case, Twitter). In the first White Knight, your avatar character was unable to transform into a giant Sin Knights. In White Knight 2, your avatar will be able to transform into a knight -- although not a Sin Knight like the knights Leonard and friends transform into. Instead, you transform into an "Arc Knight," a man-made knight that was created by the fine researchers of Barandel Kingdom.

 

You'll be able to customize and strengthen your Arc Knight by heading out to a Sin Knight Factory and changing equipment and parts. You can also set color, material and other superficial areas, although it seems that some of these will need to be unlocked.

 

During the game's online "live part" mode and 2nd part's story mode, you can form parties of up to six members (1st part's story mode is limited to four member parties). So can everyone transform into an Arc Knight at the same time? The number of players that can transform simultaneously is actually dependent on the quest. Famitsu does not say if you'll able to ever get six giants on screen simultaneously -- although that would certainly be a sight!

 

There are a few things left unclarified in the Famitsu article regarding the inclusion of the first game. If Level-5's update schedule holds up, we'll probably get additional details later this week.
