Do you think White Knight Chronicles 2 will be better than 1?

Level 5's White Knight Chronicles game flopped, receiving a 6/10 here and a 5/10 on IGN. Do you think the sequel will be any good?

After all, Dark Cloud 2 was a lot better than Dark Cloud 1. What do you guys think, can Level 5 greatly improve the sequel?

Ya and it got 8/10 from Eurogamer and gamezone its a very good underrated game and I'm looking forward WKC2.

WKC deserves atleast an 8.5 it's a really good RPG. Only thing I don't like about it is it's terrible lip syncing and the bad dialogue once in awhile. Like near the start of the game "I bet that beast doesn't want a tummy rub" .... yeah...

Japanese voices please.

I dont think so to be quite honest.

From what I heard and seen....

• More people can play online at once in quests ((6 people IIRC) Online is already easy enough)
• Knights can be used online. (Again^)
• The story will be emphasised (more plotholes???)
• Graphics are still launch PS3 standard. (Really Level 5? Its 2010)

Im waiting for more info but its already sounding and looking stale.

Perhaps. Couldn't they just have announced Dark Cloud 3. The things I would do for Dark Cloud 3.

I think the whole idea for the first one was to set the second one up.

All of the unfinished clues.

I think it should have gotten an 7.5 or 8.

But what pissed me of the most was the cgi moments. they looks so good!! But then the regular game graphics were crap! I felt like level five just rushed it. They could have been that good but to me they gave up. Same with the vice actors, I felt like they didn't care much about the project as well.

Maybe the case, considering Dark Cloud 1 and 2. The second is one the best RPGs of all time, and the first... not so much.

WKC1 isn't as bad as the reviews make it off to be. I've been playing for a few hours now and it is pretty enjoyable. A little easy on the easy side and the story isn't that great but it is still good. As for WKC2 I'm sure it will be better than the first title or at least I hope so.

I believe it will be good. Im about 5 hours into wkc (trying to squeeze in time with Heavy Rain) And so far its a good game. I'd give it a 8.5; I dont know how it got the score GS gave it. But hey thats how it goes sometimes

Reading the review might remedy that.

The first Dark Cloud was definitely not one of the best RPGS of all time, but it was still interesting, has a well-executed conceptand the potential for something excellent was there. The dungeon crawling just got too tedious.

I don't see that kind of potential with the White Knight Chronciles franchise. It seems very vanilla (just sort of "there")and it doesn't seem to have the strong concept that Dark Cloud did. Dark Cloud's concept alone it a stand-out game despite some shortcomings.

I think they should ditch or super updated some things for it to be better than the first. The prime examples is the MMO/FFXII style of combat. Also making the created character the real hero, a la silent protagonist (I don't like the character that they've created for this series lol).

I really hope your avatar does more then just take up space in sp

I certainly hope so. I'm playing the first one right now and it's certainly not bad. Probably a tad underrated, but it's not that special. Hopefully WKC2 will improve in some areas.

Well if you read other reviews for WKC (Eurogamer, Gametrailers, Gamezone...etc) the game got a many good ideas but they werent executed well I guess just few improvements on the game + harder difficulty will make the game great and if they returned the combat which they showed us at TGS trailer that would be amazing.
