Sequel comes with remastered version. Ignore original, get the sequel.
Presentation: A great story with a unique battle system, this game is great. It has the most detailed character creation system I've seen for a game with an Anime style appearance.
Gameplay: The unique battle system seems a little slow but it's still fun to play and combos you create can make it seem faster paced. The remastered version on the White Knight II has faster combat in general.
Graphics: Quite detailed for a game with an Anime art style. The facial animation sometimes seems stiff, especially when conversing but if you keep in mind that there's so much content in the game, you can let it slide.
Sound: The voice acting sometimes seems under par but the good soundtrack and sound effects make up for it.
Lasting Appeal: This is a long game with great multiplayer. This will last you a long time. IF there are still people playing it with White Knight II available.
