KOTAKU REPORTS that White Knight Chronicles 2 is coming to the U.S. this summer. And not only will this be the release of WKC2, but the remastered version of WKC will be included on the disk.

I've played WKC and while I enjoyed the game, it was tough going online since I found few English speaking players. I will probably buy WKC2 and I hope it will sells well enough here that the online portion will be a bit more "understandable" for me.

I skipped the first one because of bad reviews. It seems there's a niche fanbase that really likes the game. If the original game is included as well then this might be a buy for me.

I've passed on the first one because I didn't hear very good things about it either.
Anyone on AA who's played the game have an opinion on it?
It can be had pretty cheap these days. I've added to my cart several times but then ultimately wound up not getting it.

It was alright but nothing special. My biggest beef with the game was that there were a ton of special moves that all seemed to be about the same, so they were largely worthless. I seem to recall it being pretty easy as well, I don't think I had problems with anything until the last boss. It wasn't worth the original price, but if you could pick it up cheap it's worth a play. The ending was pretty cool and had a nice cliffhanger (or at least a few unanswered questions).

I think it's main problem was that it got hyped so badly as being *THE* RPG of the PS3 generation and it just wasn't good enough for that title (or even close for that matter).
