  • 1:11 ITS MORPHIN TIME!

  • if it wasn't for the sluggish gameplay (like he mentioned the whole free roam turn based deal) I would have bought this day one. My brother is getting and wants me to get it but eh. Idk :/

  • Up to 200 hours of gameplay? More like a potential 2000 hours of gameplay. lol

  • @cavs25100 star ocean all the way

  • If you had to choose between Star ocean the Last Hope International and White Knight Chronicles 2 which would you pick?

    I'm on the fence =(

  • Don't buy this shit! It's so boring and SO bad (gameplay+graphics)

  • @PrinceOF9Imagination That is your oppinion. I love WKC. lol

  • @VoreTechz1985 I know :)

  • You nag on most game you review.

  • Love your reviews! keep em coming!

    I got this game and I love it! the sad thing is that we should be getting more DLC quests that continue the story and give you powerful items and PSN items you can buy but its taking a while and no signs of em coming.

  • I agree. this should have been an action rpg.

  • so white knight 2 comes with a copy of the first? damn if id have known that i woulda just bought number 2.....

  • I must say that i have looked at many of your reviews of these games, and no of them are unfair. i see the flaws that you see(i.e. Skyrim) and their fair, they just dont bother me is all. Thumbs up to you because you have been fair to the games, and, more importantly, to ALL the systems supporting them. Hats off to you. :)

  • if you ever need help send me a msg psn-shinigamiscall & id-Re-death. but ur hrs are WAY off lmao this game if u want to gain all the content (4.5k hrs on wkc1 & 1.5k hrs on wkc2) and still dont have EVERY equip that is top of the line at +15 but atm if ur using ur rare teir4 items il say to wait we are getting DLCs every 2 weeks now (slowed because we WERE recieving them 4x faster than jp did)

  • I have a serious question I have Skyrim,Gears of War 3 and Battlefield 3. Which game should i buy next Batman AC or Dark Souls ?

  • @UNDEFEA73D ds

  • @UNDEFEA73D Batman AC. Dark souls might be too hard(Trust me, this game really is HARD HARD HARD), and batman arkham city is actually pretty good. By far the best batman game to date.

  • Oh and you should try "action rpg" games if you don't like turn base. I like this game for what it is.

  • @SUNNYRAINWIND Actually, I love turn-based RPGs. This one just didn't seem like it should have been one of them. Regardless I thought this game was great. It seems that you've taken a single negative comment I made about the game and interpreted the review as negative.

  • @ZeitgeistReview that's what you get from very subjective people who probably have never played any other game types, but are saying they have. you have to be VERY careful with your words if you want the whole single-minded sector of the gaming community to be happy with your reviews. HAVE A NICE DAY, YOU NOW CAN HAZ A CHEEZBOURGOUR

  • @ZeitgeistReview It's funny how people with no skill in rhetoric immediately jump on a person's credibility, huh? There's no need for putting down another's opinion, it is what it is. Everybody is allowed an opinion. It seems you're as sick as I am of all this polarization of arguments in saying that one minor dispute is grounds for all-out verbal warfare on another person. It's like politics with no real goal in mind. I suppose it just makes angry people, like Mello, feel better to be a-holes.

  • Comment removed

  • @ZeitgeistReview The thing is I accept things for what they are. If a girl has small boobs I don't go tell her "go get implants" or if a person is short I don't tell them "you should be tall". When I don't like a game I just go try another and hey btw whats all this and that down in the comments section.. its just a game in the end why are people fighting over our simple little dispute? lol people are so easy to butt hurt. Sorry about repost I was fixing typos.

  • @ZeitgeistReview

    This game feels a lot like FF12 don't you think?

  • @ZeitgeistReview i agree with the back tracking part, it kinda felt like you were just playing the first game in reverse.

    but i do love the gigantic amount of Custom Character option's, although most are a pain to earn.

    as for the games ending, after the credits when your avatar appeared, it said "to be continued" so they may plan a 3rd game staring your avatar.

  • @superzilla784 No they are not going to release any 3 game. It just DLC about your Avatar story. It is there in the DLC Quest about what happen to your Avatar.

  • @darkchaosmaster7 your too quick to asume, director Yoshiaki Kusuda hinted at a possibile sequel, but it depend's on the reviews and rating's for the 2nd game.

  • @superzilla784 That was when WKC1 was out but he confirm that WKC2 is the final game. The Avatar DLC is the only left story after the end of the game. So I am not asume it true.

  • 3:58 Akatsuki?

  • After getting it and playing it for awhile i gotta said...you're not playing the game right =/

    Mana is not an issue if you're playing as a swordsman or with a party consist of an archer or mage. And the action bar is only slow because you're wearing HEAVY armor =]

  • -puts on Christmas list- c:

  • Am I really the only one who found thius game frustratingly hard?

  • Why is it that we have retards in the reviewing sessions that wants every rpg to play out like Fall Out, Dragon Age and Demon Souls ect? I love the turn base action rpg Gameplay in this game most def... Even though Final Fantasy 12 did this 1st but WKC took it too a whole other level raising the bar in a good way... It's different, fun, and continues to deliver... I wouldn't play WKC any other way at all and the reason people ask for more action RPGs these days is because you're lazy as hell so

  • @MelloTDacoldest24 Interesting comment.

  • @MelloTDacoldest24 Let me get this straight, if somebody prefers action-RPG then they're automatically "lazy as hell"? That's an absolute illogical slippery slope. Disagreeing with someone is no reason to make such brash judgment calls and start verbally abusing them.

  • @MelloTDacoldest24

    He liked the game....

  • @MelloTDacoldest24 I completely agree, though I personally feel that Demon's Souls is one of my favorite games of all time and that series in general is, but people need to get over action rpg's for christ sake

  • I want to see level 5 make a game similar to Dark Cloud 2. I can't stand the fighting style in these games... The first white knight chronicles had way to much running around and searching for crap, with monsters spawning everywhere.

  • The mainstream reviewers were so unfair to this game. Fucking idiots, all of them.

    People like them are why some Japanese devs aren't sending JRPGs stateside anymore.

  • this may sound like of weird but this game series makes me wanna buy a ps3.

  • @ZeitgeistReview

    I was watching back over your review again and I was thinking of how you said you would have preferred real time button mashing over turn based style of combat. I'm curious if you ever played Final Fantasy 12 and if you had the same thoughts about that game since its essentially the same type of combat.

  • anyone want to play some quest add me Psn GhostSniper893

  • AION FTW!

  • if one is BAD at turn based games, really bad (as in i can never beat the 1 boss at all in any FF games XD)

    will this game be to hard for me?

  • @justique Hard to say because you're only controlling one character at a time, as turn-based set in a real-time world.

  • @ZeitgeistReview ok thanks.

    though a little sad sins it seems like a good game though.

  • @justique Oh come on FF1 wasn't that hard :P

  • @TheDarkHavok i shoudl probaly say all i tried

    but i cant stand the japanese rps turn base system. unless its pokemon ><

  • You seem like a really honest and fair reviewer. Subbed!

  • It looks like it has very poor character design..

  • @MagashiSaizen whats wrong? no bulk and ugly design?? aww poor baby.

  • White Knight Chronicles,I hate your friggin plot but god I love your gameplay!!!!!

  • i tried the 1st white knight chronicles, i slept fighting the weakest monster in the game...

    SLEPT!

    dont get me wrong, i really love rpgs. but the battle system is just... urgh.

  • I'm watching a walkthrough of the first WKC right now.

  • idk....kinda looks like a final fantasy rip-off...........

  • @111Zadok I didn't get a FF feel at all while playing.

  • @ZeitgeistReview  ever played final fantasy 12?

  • @111Zadok Indeed it reminded me a lot of Final Fantasy XII. Even the graphics are more or less the same, menus especially. The combat is pretty similar also. Real time movement but turn-based combat.

    It's more or less a classic JRPG with their sidequests that you could care less.

  • @111Zadok Yeah, because Final Fantasy has huge Knights who you can control yourself, lol.

  • I want new vids :[ cmon, zgr....

  • @kartofawe Takes a while to beat all of these long games coming out lately. I could be shady like others and not beat the game before I review it, but I want to be fair to my viewers. That means it takes longer to get the reviews out.

  • @ZeitgeistReview, hm, ok, thats good. Can I ask if you can review Heroes 6 and Kings Bounty if you can ofc.

  • @kartofawe Just finished Dark Souls... Review will be posted tonight :-)

  • @ZeitgeistReview dude if your gripe is about the turn based combat then ff13 better b number 1 on your shit list because that was a snore fest

  • @ZeitgeistReview

    You have a disadvantage against some of the review sites only being one person as opposed to a staff of reviewers/writers. Sounds like you need clones...I can help with that....

  • @SeanUCF Send me a sample review video then.

  • @ZeitgeistReview

    My bad, I didn't mean your reviews were lacking, quite the opposite actually. I meant that it's harder for one person to keep up with all the new releases of games as opposed to a team or a staff (hence my bad attempt at a joke with the clones). I share similar interests in gaming genres that you do RPG>Shooters>Fighting so I find you're reviews to be the most useful to me.

  • @SeanUCF I didn't think you were insulting me, I thought you were asking for a job.

  • @ZeitgeistReview

    Haha! I wish! My dream job would be to review video games. I can't imagine it pays well enough to be a stand alone job with out some other sort of income though.

  • @SeanUCF Well any YouTube channel can pay enough to be a full time job, but only a few are lucky enough to be that successful.

  • @ZeitgeistReview On the plus side, that's the reason I'm enjoying your reviews and going back and watching all your old ones.

  • hm, im kinda surprised u haven't done a review for Dark Souls yet. it seems up ur alley and ur input on the game is definitely appreciated

  • @Sofakingbeastn Gotta beat it first. I got to the final boss last night and stopped. I'll beat it today and maybe even have the review up tonight.

  • @ZeitgeistReview lol I called that shit. oh yeah, who's bad? XD

    gotta say though. u sure dont play around with beating games.

  • Next Gen. of gaming better more than a Oversaturated FPS market. I sick of oversaturated FPS. SONY COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT @ least knows to create a variety of games each next gen. That's why PS3 is now a better console than ever before.

  • How ignorant can some of you be, thinking that games are all about graphics. Story is important but Gameplay is what sells a game more than anything. Or are you one of those kids of the new Generation who think that cause you have newer game systems your better than me a person who grew up as a 90's kid.

    How sad for you new generation kids. You don't know that the best games of all time were more than FPS. FFVII & XENOGEARS are 2 of over 50,000 games of the past.

    GAMES OF THE PAST > MODERN.

  • @InternationalGamer1 Yes, there are a lot of factors that decide the quality of a game, but we're all different and some factors can make larger differences than others. Sometimes, that factor is graphics especially if the person is very visual, so you can't discredit them as "new generation" just because you disagree. Hate to inform you, but a mighty chunk of the "old generation" praised the evolution of graphics and enjoyed the hell out of the fps just as much as kids do today.

  • Hey can U people stop nagging him. He reviewed good games,& more than OverSaturated amount of FPS games there've been this GEN. Graphics don't mean shit if Gameplay is horrible. Don't bash a game til you have played it.

    many JRPG's of the past withstand the test of time. "JRPG's" not WRPG's.

    I can tell you some of many. XENOGEARS,Final Fantasy I-X, Kingdom Hearts I & II, Dark Cloud, Shin Megami Tensei(Series), Demon's Souls, Namco Tales(series). Dark Cloud I & 2.Wild Arms(series), & more.

  • 2 game for the price of one.... should i buy this over elder scroll and dark souls?

    I hated oblivion but loved demon souls. =s

    dont know what to do with my limited budget D=

  • @iveayu i say u go for skyrim

    idk rlly cuz im kind of a fan boy of elder scroll, i find oblivion to be very fun

  • @VansLegacy you just love that hype don't you? it tells you what to buy and you love it!

  • @iveayu Obviously I haven't played Skyrim, but I'm playing Dark Souls right now and it's much better than White Knight.

  • Finally, a proper review of this game. Great work!

  • Horrible review zeitgeist. This game's graphics are brutal, the gameplay is boring, plot made no sense, unlikeable characters and teeribad ending. I can't believe you gave it a 9, you obviously have NO experience playing good games. Go hide under a rock you fool. I'm unsubscribing....TOMORROW...OR WHENEVER...IS MOST...CONVIENIENT. Thank you for reading zeitgeist and I hope you improve you reviews from now on. Have a nice day and may God be with you.

  • Imagine if LEVEL-5 did another Dark Cloud. Heck they could even do an HD upgrade for Dark Cloud. Both would be amazing

  • if this was the xbox 360. it would be 6 disc.

  • @khmerbraveheart funny thing is Skyrim is a longer game and better graphics and its only on one disc Fail at Trolling.

  • @defendedmeteor3 wht the fuck are yo utalking about?

  • @khmerbraveheart how would this need to fit on 6 disc? are you retarded?

  • @defendedmeteor3 cause the game files to big. just like ff13 it was 3 disc for the 360. theres no need for name callings. chill the fuck out.

  • @khmerbraveheart I wasn't mad but this wouldn't need 6 disc the reason ff13 was on 3 disc was because of the cut-scenes, same with lost odyssey. :P

  • @defendedmeteor3 if you said it like that, then yeah. it make sense.

  • Are you going to review Ace Combat: Assault Horizon?

  • grind fest i mean white knight chronicles, repetitive and boring wkc2 is just an add on nothing more

  • Someone I know said it compares a lot to FFXI. Like, long time to get into it, but lots to do if you do.

  • I also forgot to ask, if you start WKC 2 from the beginning does it seamlessly transition into the second half or does it end and start over putting you at level 35 even if you are higher than that?

  • Nice review! So if I own the first game but never got more than 10 minutes into it (didn't have time back when I got it, wasn't because I didn't like it) would you recommend I get WKC 2 and start from the beginning or play WKC 1 first?

  • Nice review. I played the remastered part 1 again and really liked the combat improvements. Its a lot faster and more difficult than before. Although WKC1 was painfully slow and easy.

  • Cool beard lol.

  • So you can unlock Trophies for the first one? Thanks for the review!

  • Any chance of a AGOT: Genesis review ?

  • gears3....

  • Hmm, looks a bit too hardcore for me. I'm past the point of wanting to sink that much time into an RPG that has slow combat and cliche story. Plus, it doesn't sound easy to find people to play with online.

  • The combat was faster this time around, especially if u are a mage. As for the cool moves, do what I do and carry manna potions, let the characters u dont use carry spares n as a side note, u can use them on knights (resultin in it lasting forever) great review btw

  • Review something other than a RPG?

  • where is the gears of war 3 review?

  • Nice review. I replayed part 1 and found the remastered combat mechanics to be alot more playable. When I played the first one, the attack timers seemed painfully slow. I fell asleep so many times that I couldnt complete the game. This time around I was able to finish the whole game in a few sittings and had fun. They also ramped upmthe difficulty which made the battles more engaging for me.

  • Do you mean that this is a hardcore RPG because it has level grinding or merely because it's turn based combat? Since I purchased Triniy: Souls of Zil Ohl upon your review and enjoyed it, I doubt tedious sidequests will be a problem.

    My biggest question is, can you control anyone other than the main protagonist and have to give commands to your allies or can you switch characters you control afterthey joined the party?

  • @purpleblizzard You MIGHT have to grind, but I didn't really have to. It's hard-core to me because it contains all of the old-school computer rpg mechanics like foraging, repairing, crafting, upgrading, dismantling, learning massive amounts of skills etc... You can control any of the three characters in your party and switch on the fly (you'll have to do this at some points). You can also issue basic commands like attack my target, spread out or fall back.

  • @ZeitgeistReview alrighty then. Thanks for the info. I'll give this a purchase when my wallet cooperates with me.

  • Is it any better than the first? The first game was kind of lacking...

  • @wiilover55 If you didn't like the first game, you're likely not going to like this one.

  • @ZeitgeistReview Oh, I meant as in story, but if it feels the same storywise then I guess I wont, oh well... :(

  • Can you please start to give points to the games? :(

  • I wouldn't classify this as a "hardcore" RPG. It just seems like a typical JRPG to me. Just because a game has super dated RPG mechanics doesn't make it hardcore >_>

  • @TeamJayOnas What would you consider a hardcore rpg then?

  • @ZeitgeistReview demon souls? idk

  • @ZeitgeistReview I think he's referring to Skyrim and games like that.

  • @TeamJayOnas the origional rpg's where from japan dumb ass.

  • @bdph2008 ...and?

  • I still need to complete the first game. I'm currently ten hours in, and already own WKC II. However, you can't load a mid-game savefile of the original in WKC II, which is a sad thing, because the original has been enhanced for the sequel! Oh well, I'll just have to keep playing the first one, then...

    Hopefully, my PS3 will return soon! I received a nice YLOD last Sunday, so I'll have ot wait until Sony sends it back to me... :(

    Will just have to continue MagnaCarta 2 until then... ;)

  • @RemyLanslots You shouldn't want to start number 2 without beating number 1 anyway though. You need to know what happens in the story to understand 2.

  • @ZeitgeistReview I know, but it'd be nice if I could continue White Knight Chronicles from where I currently am in the original game on the White Knight Chronicles II disc. But sadly, Level-5 only allowed completed games to be loaded in White Knight Chronicles on the White Knight Chronicles II disc.

    P.S.

    Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends will be released next month for PS3. Will you review it? You did review the original game, so I hope you will. I spent 108 hours in DW7; all Trophies!

  • Comment removed

  • And omg i thought they would get rid of the damned turnbased combat thingy

  • Omg i hate the font for their texts

  • weren't 'white knights' KKK ?

  • @simonwest1977 uhhh....

  • Great review,am presently playing this and the MP stuff is a real pain.have to use normal attack so as to keep mp and AC for transformation.But i just love this game.

  • Thanks for the review man. I think I'll wait for a price drop on this game. I'm still a little iffy on this game and there are to many blockbusters coming out starting today.

    Good luck trying to review them all :P

  • shame it has screentearing i cant stand it and i wanted to get this game!

  • Review dark souls or skyrim. You know what review dark souls because I'm getting skyrim no matter what.

  • I have the game already and am enjoying it a lot. I love you review. :)

  • 200 hours?!?! damn this is worth the money huh?

  • @unrealxXx It is if you enjoy the game-play.

  • I Love your reviews man, keep up the good work =D

    

  • review rage!!! or i will rage unsub

  • *crosses fingers for a Skyrim review*

  • @Wrash16 Of course I'll review Skyrim, but it will be a week or two after launch obviously because I have to beat it first.

  • i hate how almost all of the rpg's on this generation of consoles are set in the old days, with sword and shield. why dont they make some really cool worlds with lots of unique weapons and diferent characters and stuff. more modern looking stuff like folklore and ff versus 13. thats how they should be, not midevil like demons souls,dragon age origins,elder scrolls 4,and this game. i cant think of much more but i know there is a lot. i want an awsome arpg with a unique world and unique people

  • Dark Souls review?

  • @pahqina Yup, I'm picking it up today.

  • If they change the battle system I might get this games. They look cool, but the combat is boring, I prefer one similar to Dragon Age.

  • @ZeroDragon That's what I said in the review ;-)

  • Shit game. O_o

  • Wait, so this game comes bundled with the first?! OMG, please reply!

  • @Humbuckers12 Yes indeed it does

  • @Humbuckers12 That is correct.

  • @ZeitgeistReview I might actually pick this one up then, thanks. Keep up with the reviews, they're great and a lot more thorough than most people's.

  • 4:03 Go go Power Rangers

  • @Vayshen I posted that same comment as an annotation on my review of the first game when they transformed ;-)

  • "turn based mechanic brings it down "<< that so damn true i played the first game and quit playing at the first battle :lol

    geez i miss the moment when jrpg on console were still like jrpg :(

  • @fanddbobo There is nothing wrong with turn based rpgs... I just didn't prefer it in this instance because it "feels" like it should have been real time.

  • I prefer Dark Souls.

    Are you playing it ?

  • @OlgerJan Buying it today.

  • Why are so many good games only available for x-box or ps3 :(

    I would really like to play ICO some day.

  • @DIchronicaddict Pick up a PS3 then :-)

  • I frickin love jrpg games but all of them are ps3 exclusives :/

    thank god dark souls is coming to both consoles.

    time to get my nub xbox ass kicked multiple times :)

  • @InquisitorPrime Not really. Both consoles are about equal on JRPGs. 360 as better quality JRPGs though. Lost Odyssey, Tales of Vesperia, Eternal Sonata, Manga Carta 2, Star Ocean 4, Final Fantasy XIII, and probably others that I would consider high quality RPGs. Some of those are multiplatform but you're really not missing out on too many JRPGs by only having a 360.

  • @InquisitorPrime Actually the 360 has a shit load of exclusive RPGs... I've reviewed most of them.
