I searched through the OP and online impressions and the only difference is the gameplay was sped up and changed to mimic that of WKC2. The story, world map and everything else is unchanged. I wonder if they worked those other bugs out?
I just received an email from Amazon saying that an order of mine has shipped, and i was like "WTF?" Turns out its WKC2. Shit, it is going to be here tomorrow -_-.
Anyone else order the game from Amazon or plan on getting the game tomorrow? I enjoyed WKC1 so hopefully 2 is good. I lost my WKC1 save, does that mean i have to play through it again? I remember reading something about that.

Thanks for answering! I remember reading that you HAD to have a WKC1 save to start WKC2. I thought my line of thinking was off. Oh well, can't wait till tomorrow.
EDIT: Just read through a page in this thread and people are saying that a lot of it feels like "copy paste" from WKC1. Shit, i hope this does not end up being a disappointment -_-

if you go straight for the finish it doesn't take too long, maybe about 30+ hours.

I just got my text when Gamestop opened that they had my copy of WKC2 in....I will have to give it a ride online Sat, night.
Did they let people keep their same villege from the Geonet that they had in WKC1?

It only took me 2 days. The games real easy. Im trying to figure out if I should pick up WKC2 later today. Is the second game just as short as the first?

More or less, but I've all but forgotten about the single player now after getting into the online. The single player only exists as tutorial as far as I'm concerned.ShikaTheReaper said:
I never played WKC1, but I can access villages people made during the original, so I presume they're transferable.Cornbread78 said:

If you import your save you keep everything you had but your level is reset to 35. You get 200 skill points to distribute also, so you can respec from the get go.
I'm about an hour into the campaign for 2 and I love the battle changes. I don't remember any indicator in the first game telling you when you hit an enemy with an attack type that it's weak to, so that's awesome. The combat feels just a touch slower than say WoW, but it's sped up quite a bit from the original. The attack ring being full when you enter combat is really nice too. And getting all the resources from a node with one "farm" attempt is great too. I thought this game would hold me over until Dark Souls, but I think the online will be good enough to keep playing it for a while.
One gripe: you have to get to a certain point into the story before you can play online again. I guess it gives me time to get used to my skills and stuff again, but still woulda been nice to go questing right off the bat.

If the disc has both WKC1 and WKC2 on it, why can't I just play WKC1 on this disc with my current save? My only choices appear to be either import my save, yet have everyone reset to level 1, or start the entire game over. Am I missing something? My WKC1 save is from the middle of the game, i.e. I did not complete it.

Is it worth playing through a NG+ of WKC before jumping into 2? I never finished my NG+ quest, so I left a lot of items on the table, ya know...

Well, that's ridiculous.
Is the multiplayer experience in WKC2 tied to the multiplayer in WKC1 at all? In other words, if you just play multiplayer in WKC2, will you have access to all the quests and areas from WKC1 multiplayer also, or are they completely separate experiences?

I believe doing either will activate the trophy.Shadow780 said:
I would be playing but Amazon.ca (Canada) is slow with shipping things. Most games I order don't get shipped until 1-5 days after release date. Then it takes like 3 days to get to me.
If you carry over your WKC1 save, do you get to customize your character again? I'd like to change abilities/appearance if I can.
Also, I have a bit of a sporadic schedule but I'd love to play with GAF when/if the chance comes up.

People have jobs. I just got home from work.
Mine just shipped from Amazon.ca so I'll be starting later this week.
I played WKC fully through to Platinum & GR15, so I'll be starting from the last endgame with all my gear & stock items ready for more forging.
If anyone is going to play and give a serious effort send me a PM. I'm sure there will be a few of the original WKC GR15s returning that I have in my friends list as well.

Personally I still prefer WKC1's battle system more. WKC2 becomes a skill spamfest which also results to the battle system too reliant on mp and it really screws over every class with the exception of bow.
I prefer wkc1's system where you build up your AC gauge to do combos and every skill has vastly different properties which regards to damage and recovery time.

You guys are absolutly sure they changed it and we can jump right in to II now,even if 1 is included? I got halfway through 1 and got stuck in a dungeon and never could finish it,I was enjoying it enough and I sold the game last month....I might pick it up tomorrow if that`s the case...
Wow this comes out today? Jesus what fuck awful marketing. Even word of mouth is missing on this.
I played WKC1, completed it, spent a good amount of time online, but the grind set in far too quickly and so did the repetition. What's the overall word on WKC2 from Japanese players? Is it still super grindy and super repetitive? Is there variety in the quests online? Did they add more character customization in the character creator?
Also, if I import my WKC1 save(I assume you can do this?), do I get the option to recreate what my character looks like ?

I totally agree. While the story wasn't totally originally, I really enjoyed it regardless. Enjoyed many of the story sequences, like the soundtrack, transformations into the knight, etc.Cheska said:
I got my copy today....plan to start it after I finish 1-2 games.

There is a vocal track in one of the battles in the story of 2, which is probably the most enjoyable fight of the game. It was the one time in the single player where I could honestly say "this is awesome!".
Volcynika said:
no,2 has new vocal songs but they suck horribly in english
i sat there laughing because it was too much awesomeness,but the battle itself was terrible (instant game over if only
one of your knights goes down,while in normal game they would just return back to their human form)

Yeah I guessJigsaw said:
it would be frustrating if you weren't properly set up for the fight (don't have full knight weapon and armour upgrades etc.) and had to replay it loads. Thankfully I managed to beat it after a couple of attempts, by ganging up on the Black Knight first, switching ally to heal constantly and spamming hp and mp pots when necessary.
I wasn't gonna let that fight get the better of me after the horror that was Brimflamme!

I'm pretty sure it does, but even with medium armor on mine is still filling up much quicker than the first game. The battles are actually pretty fun. I was gathering up old school EverQuest style trains and fighting like 8 mobs at a time and it was pretty challenging. Loving the game so far...I just wish I knew where to farm some steel ore in the first area. I'm having a hard time beating the first boss without one of the NPCs dying.
