White Knight Chronicles II will be like its predecessor, a third-person perspective game. However, some changes to improve game play in all aspects have been made, such as new battle system mechanics, more combos, new armor and weapons to make, new enemies and new dungeons.
The Georama system, an online mode that lets the player create their own town, is back with various changes. Now players can play with their friends online in quests of up to 6 characters; not 4.
The first review from Japanese magazine publisher Famitsu has awarded the game a 33/40, with the reviewers criticizing the story but praising the updated gameplay features.[7] The game sold 107,655 on its first day in sales [8] and 162,289 in the first week,[9] which was below expectations, given first-week sales of the first game.
