Описание:

В White Knight Chronicles 2 игроков ожидает встреча с двумя новыми персонажами – пятнадцатилетней девушкой Миу и генералом армии Фории, закованным с головы до пят в доспехи человеком по имени Скардин. Разумеется, все герои первой части проявят себя и в сиквеле. Леонард по-прежнему является протагонистом, тогда как Юли выступает как его верная спутница. Неизвестно, достанется ли какая-нибудь важная роль принцессе – теперь уже, конечно, королеве – или приключениям она предпочтет политическую деятельность. Во всяком случае, именно с такими намерениями она возвращалась в родной замок и такие обещания давала своим подданным. Не останутся без внимания и магические доспехи: герои встретят на своем пути много новых людей, некоторые из которых тоже смогут призывать на помощь громадных рыцарей.

Во второй части Level-5 очень сильно переработала боевую систему. Схватки стали быстрыми и молниеносными, у героев появилась возможность атаковать врагов «наскоком» или тратить дополнительную энергию на более мощный удар. Обновился список скиллов, которые теперь помогут со снайперской точностью определить класс подотчетного персонажа. Различий между боем в человеческом и «рыцарском» обличиях стало гораздо больше – у гигантских «рыцарей» появилось много новых ударов и атак. Еще разработчики мельком упомянули о том, что герой сможет защищаться щитом в любой момент боя

+++++++

Для того чтобы начать вторую часть не обязательно иметь clear save от первой, как в случае с японкой. При начале новой игры предлагается создать персонажа 35 уровня импортировать из сейва или играть в первую часть с 1-го лвла.
Японской озвучки нет.
(???) Говорят, что после импорта сейва из WKC1 счётчик "реинкарнаций" (rebirth) сбрасывается на 0. И персонаж получает фиксированное количество sp - 200.
Для перерождения необходим максимальный лвл - 80, а получить его можно только имея GR20. Каждое перерождение даст 40 бонусных sp (4 раза макс), сбросит скиллы и лвл на 60-ый. До 35-го скиллы можно сбрасывать бесплатно, после - уже стоит определиться с классом, т.к. до 80-го сброс будет возможен только за реальную денюжку.

Ещё введена система гильдий.
