About on par with WKC1, so I guess about 20-25 hours if you just play through it.

Hm, I believe you have to choose Edit Georama from a save stone.

Yeah, basically the online code that comes in the box can only be activated once and is tied to a single PSN account. I think it costs around $10 in the US for an extra pass. However I do believe you can use multiple characters on the same account, although the personal in-game profile page will be update to the character most recently played each time.Pyrrhus said:

I hate how avatars look way to kiddy, they have a seriously bad case of baby face

I really wanted to beat this game but I can't do it anymore. I hate how they are constantly forcing giant battles on you and if you can't transform into a knight they take too long to beat. Then the running around in circles to advance the story is annoying. Maybe I might come back to it later on but right now I don't have the patience for it.

I'm looking at this on a cell phone, but I honestly thought this was concept art for a second.Maxrpg said:PICS PICS PICS
MOAR later. Pics!
A friend at work tells me that part 1 comes with the sequel on the same disc. Is this true? Any catches to know about?

Here's another question as I was unable to dig into this over the weekend.
Can I use my NG+ game save and play through WKC1 again before I start II? or Do I only have an option to play through 1 again from scratch and then play WKCII?

Yes you can continue your new game+, or you can start with that character in WKCII. There really isn't any benefit to continuing your new game+ though, you get dropped back to lvl 35 when you start WKCII, and if you're trying to grind quests from WKC, you get far more Giuld EXP from doing the quests in WKC2. Actually, it just takes FAR less GP to move up in guild ranks in 2. They may have adjusted it in WKC also, but I haven't seen it.Cornbread78 said:

Yeah, but there are a couple trophies that I could get by playing through a 2nd time under a NG+, but I want to see how playign through it again with teh new battle mechanics and get back into the story again. I hope it is an option because the 2nd playthrough should only take a few hours with no grind as enemies should die in 1 swing for the most part.

WKC1 is reminding me of Rogue Galaxy, except with all of the personality and charisma removed. The basic gameplay seems sound enough and I like how exploration and battle flow into each other, but it feels like it was a low priority project for Level 5 and they got one of their less talented teams to develop it. There's no pizazz about it.

Does anyone know if they have an English website for this game? I found this one:
http://www.jp.playstation.com/scej/title/shirokishi/2nd/index.html
but I don't exactly speak or read Japanese, so it's useless to me other than to listed to the intro music....

Did anyone have an issue logging in yesterday? I tried playing when I got home but it kept logging me out of PSN when the splash screens started popping up. I know there was maintenance but I thought it was Europe onle. Other than that though, I'm so addicted to this game. I'm lvl 56 on my avatar and GR15 and I'm 2 zore crystals into red horn isle. The bounty hunts are fun, I hope they add more as dlc down the line. I tried to take a break yesterday and play some pile of shame games (Space Marine and R3) but I couldn't, ended up throwing this back in. It is certainly scratching my loot and jrpg itches.

finally finished the game install this weekend, but haven't really had a chance to play through.
I wanted to play through WKC's NG+ using the new disc first, but you can only use your prior game save to play through again from lvl 1 or start from the beginning of WKC2 contining where you left off. That kinda irked me because I sold my WKC1 disc and now I'd have to completely start from scratch to get where I was before.....

LOL, I thought about it, long and hard but opted to just start WKCII instead, I was kinda pissed at the time. I ended up just shutting if off without saving so I could watch the whole opening sequence again, lol.

I'm hoping so, the gamr is completely getting trashed everywhere. I hope to put a lot of time into it over the weekend.
Dude what's your PSN? I'd love to throw messages back and forth on your progress and get you hyped while you play.Cornbread78 said:
Don't worry about the reviews, I'll make it simple for you:
Do you:
[ ] Like MMO-style gameplay on a console
[ ] Like cliched RPG stories
[ ] Enjoy the thought of your own character alongside the main characters
[ ] Enjoy the thought of controlling huge mech-like Knights that make you feel badass when you use them
[ ] Like HD Towns
If any are checked, you will love it!
Oh edit on the story so far: I just got my Knight and I FUCKIN LOVE IT. It makes your character feel even more badass!

Someone at Gametrailers is a Code Geass fan though.
Ouch you're right, I just watched it.StuBurns said:
Their criticisms are well-founded - there are many points of the game I would agree on (reused areas, sound, etc). What I think they are missing is that while your character doesn't get to be more involved with the story, once you attain your Knight everything flip-flops - you feel more ingrained as the first ever Prototype Knight, and the online is accessible at any time, rather than at the end of the game like they stated.
The game is more suited towards those who do not mind finding materials for items and upgrading their loot in the synthesis system.
The combat is leagues, LEAGUES beyond the first game, and the emphasis on that is not stated enough. The first one was incredibly slow, broken in terms of how you use it, and the second game improves upon it immeasurably.
The review also states battles can be long as hell - incorrect - if you exploit enemy weaknesses and use buffs/right spells, battles can take as much as a couple seconds.
The story is pretty weak, I will admit - however the second game's story is much much more impressive than the first's (although I will say the first's story hits a turning point about half-way that makes you ignore the ugly cliches).
I'd say if you like MMO gameplay and don't mind it, give the game a real chance, play it.
You can't go wrong since it contains two games in one. (Though IMO it feels like both games are two halves of a whole).

LOL, I finished the first one and spent some hours online. Thrashing Big Red 100x was a little annoying after awhile though. They need to streamline the GR system a little bit to make it a less of a grind and reward more for finishing multiple missions. I really enjoyed the game though, The story had a cliche' theme, but was different from anything else. The battle system was fun, the world was pretty open and there was a lot of exploration to do. Despite the negative feedback I traded in a bunch of games for WKC2 and will play it when I get some extra time to do so. There's been a little TV custody battle going on at home right now, so I haven't gotten much gaming time lately, which really sucks. I like to play online shooters with my buddies as well, so that takes up some time as well, but I will be on late night Sat.
You can add me and we can do some quests once I unlock the Geonet again in WKC2

Good points that should be reiterated. Nothing is over-the-top flashy about the game, but it is captivating and fun to play and that's what metterns in the end for me. I can't wait to dump some time into this bad boy. Resistance 3 is just taking a lot of my time right now as well, lol.
Maxrpg said:
I actually disagree with this, whilst the game is indeed faster than the first game, I actually reckon the game got dumbed down significantly compared to the first game's battle system.
Since all skills now use MP instead of AC, for any class other than SS, Bow and Staff, they're gonna get screwed over unless they use MP potions. I'm also not a big fan of skill spamming gameplay, which is practically what everyone does during boss fights and quite frankly, it lacks the strategic gameplay of wkc1 where one actually has to build up their AC meter to do combos(which are useless in wkc2).
I can go on about the skills being dumbed down as well, but it'll take me forever to explain it all.
However, I do agree that the package as a whole is indeed much better than the first game. For one, the game requires a lot less grinding, so for new players this is actually a good thing. I also personally liked the bounty quests and I reckon Level 5 should have included the feature in the first game.
