2 JRPG PS3 Exclusive game for the price of one?

Sold.

TBM4771d ago

I enjoyed the first one and still have the save file. So i'll be waiting for the release of the sequel.

FACTUAL evidence4771d ago

Really updset because i have the first one still and didn't get to put even 5 minutes into it...I wanted the plat, but now I'm afraid to even start it, they might turn the servers down for wkc1.

sasuke994771d ago

To date there is no jrpg on ps3 that can match Lost Odyssey or Muramasa: The Demon Blade!

TBM4771d ago

as much as i liked Lost Odyssey i found Valkyria Chronicles much better and more of a special game. to me its my favorite game this generation, and best rpg i've played this gen too.

WildArmed4770d ago

All great games.

Lost Odyssey was easily the best JRPG I've played on my 360.
But saying it has no competitor is just being ignorant.

Valkr. Chronicles alone gave LO a run for it's money.

Thou out of all the JRPGs, WKC1 is the JRPG I played the most.
800 hours <3

Looking forward to WKC2

user8586214771d ago

the fact that sony isn't publishing this game doesnt look too good

Stealth20k4771d ago (Edited 4771d ago )

how so?

the second game is better than the first in every way. Thats fact

Not sure why they didnt keep the japanese subtitles

RememberThe3574771d ago

How is that fact?

But yeah that doesn't look good. WKC must have been too much of a loss for them.

Peaceful_Jelly4771d ago (Edited 4771d ago )

it's fact cus WKC II has better graphics, faster paced combat and better online implementation. The story, plot and characters in the first game were so bland that there's is no way in hell that the sequel could do worse so overall WKCII is better. Period. On top of that both games are on the same disc anyway.

The first game did bad but it wasn't cus it was a bad game, it was because the game didn't have the name "Final Fantasy" on the box. FF is the only Jrpg that does well in the sales department outside of japan. Right now Valkyria Chronicles is the best Jrpg on the PS3 and it sold like crap and that's why its sequels are on handhelds now. =/

JAMurida4771d ago

@All above.

This explains it all:

http://thesilentchief.com/2...

WKC 2 is what I would consider "a true sequel". It improves on EVERY aspect the first lacked in, while still keeping what made it good.

It's sad that the game won't get much attention that other games will but that's just how JRPGs are and I won't get into that argument... I've been waiting for this game for too long and all I need to know now is when the pre-orders start.

MaideninBlack4771d ago

Sony's publishing it in Europe though. I guess that's where it sold the most next to Japan. I know I ran across alot of Russians, British, Greece and Spanish players in the first game.

WildArmed4770d ago

Yeah, I was surprised they didn't publish it in US.

Either way, I'm happy I get my most anticipated Sequel :D

Regardless of how Sony tried to screw the US version over ;)

Level 5 has my purchase day 1.
I might even pick up two so my brother and I can play together for once.

Kamikaze1354771d ago

The font used for the "II" looks ugly and stands out too much. Yep, I just complained about the boxart.

JusenkyoGuide4771d ago

i never bought the first one because i didn't have the money at the time. it paid off because now i get the first one for free with the second one.

jneul4771d ago

yes i cant wait for the europe version!!

Rogue galaxy is nice but I prefer ni no kuni 2

RedDevils1290d ago (Edited 1290d ago )

Ni no Kuni 2 imo is the bottom of my list for top Level 5 games.
Dark Cloud 1/2
Dragon Quest VIII
Rogue Galaxy,
White Knight Chronicles
Ni no Kuni
Pro Layton series

TheColbertinator1290d ago

Dark Cloud 2 remains my all time favorite game

Teflon021290d ago

Same here and this list kinda insults it sadly

Maywell1290d ago

One of my special favorite game developer.

Kados1290d ago

IMO, replace WK2 & Mystery Journey with DC1 and NNK2.

Xenoblade X felt like Avatar as a game visually. The art in that series is amazing.

This is turning out to be Sony's very own E3 show for the holidays!

Merry Christmas!

@pedrof93

Most likely, yes. WKC was a PS3 exclusive.

pedrof933448d ago

Is white knight 2 a ps4 exclusive then ?

breakpad3448d ago

i hope for a localized Yokai Watch for Vita it seems very interesting and 3 milion Japan consumers are not idiots that bought the game instantly

WildArmed3448d ago

@pedro

WKC2 came out on PS3 as well.

The servers for both games are down now unf. I really wish we see a HD collection of the game. It was one of my most memorable gaming experience from last gen.

I had about 1000 hours into WKC, and 600 hours when they took the servers down in WKC2.

Findingcrybabies3448d ago

I had these games in a backlog for a while, I was very sad to learn that one of the biggest draws to me (MP/online component) had been cancelled.

Fun games, but you need to be careful of how long they expect to support their titles, it seems....not...long.

Minimox163448d ago

Yeah, Im lucky cuz got the platinum of both WKC before that (too many hours lol )

@jspsc123
Im with you bro ! MAG!

nX3448d ago

^MAG was next-gen stuff man, really miss that game.

3-4-53448d ago

More Level-5 games = good

joab7773448d ago

This and then Playstation Experience. What? Ni No Kuni 2 please.

guitarded773448d ago

I would take a White Knight Collection for the PS4 and a new game from Level 5 in the chute. As long as they keep servers up for awhile. I think they prematurely shut down servers for WKC on PS3. I know everyone is gonna be crying "Dark Cloud", but I'd prefer a new IP... WKC was originally supposed to be a trilogy, so there is no telling.

WildArmed3448d ago

I understand why they shut off WKC, but I was still playing WKC2 weekly when they shut of fWKC2.

I'm hoping we do see a PS4 HD collection.

elazz3448d ago

These games didn't get high ratings but for some reason I always found the series intriguing? And both games sold well. Maybe they'll make a new game in the series with an updated part 1 and 2

spence524903448d ago

I still have my copy of WKC2. One of the most frustrating games I have ever played. Great though.

gangsta_red3448d ago

White Knight Chronicles was not the best game and got ripped apart by the critics.

Level-5 should make a sequel to the excellent Rogue Galaxy game for PS2. I loved that game!

kratos1233448d ago

Wow people disagreed with that statement.
Man I miss rogue galaxy :-(. It was such a amazing games, all those fantastic characters. I loved all my time with it.

3448d ago
Xof3448d ago

It didn't help that it was one of the first high-prifile bullshot games last gen.

And what was weird about it was not only were those pre-release visuals much better than the final game, so was the UI and combat. And then there was all the DLC-whoring--like charging players to edit their avatars.
