{"product_id":"white-knight-chronicles-ii-playstation-3","title":"White Knight Chronicles II - PlayStation 3","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhite Knight Chronicles II\u003c\/strong\u003e (known in Japan as \u003cem\u003eAwakening of Light and Darkness\u003c\/em\u003e) is an epic JRPG developed by \u003cstrong\u003eLevel-5\u003c\/strong\u003e and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment (EU\/JP) and D3 Publisher (NA) in 2011. A direct sequel to the 2008 original, the narrative begins one year later as Leonard and his companions navigate a civil war in the kingdom of Faria while opposing the sinister Magi organization. Technically, the game is a massive \"two-in-one\" value proposition, as the disc includes a \u003cstrong\u003efully remastered version of the first White Knight Chronicles\u003c\/strong\u003e with the sequel’s improved engine and mechanics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe gameplay utilizes a refined \u003cstrong\u003eActive Time Battle (ATB) system\u003c\/strong\u003e that is significantly faster than the first entry, featuring a 3-second recharge and a \"break\" mechanic to disrupt enemy attacks. Central to the experience is the \u003cstrong\u003eIncorruptus (Knight)\u003c\/strong\u003e system: players can transform into giant, god-like warriors during combat, and for the first time, the sequel allows players to fully customize their own personal Knight for use in both the story and quests. Outside of combat, the \u003cstrong\u003eGeorama system\u003c\/strong\u003e allows players to build and manage their own custom town, which served as a hub for the game's expansive cooperative content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTechnically, the title targets a \u003cstrong\u003e720p resolution\u003c\/strong\u003e at a cinematic \u003cstrong\u003e30 frames per second\u003c\/strong\u003e, though it is known for occasional screen tearing and pop-in during large-scale battles. While the campaign offers over 30 hours of story, the \"true\" depth lies in the 100+ hours of side-quests and guild errands. \u003cstrong\u003eNote on Online Status:\u003c\/strong\u003e As of 2026, the official GeoNet servers have been shut down for over a decade (NA servers closed June 2013). While the game is 100% playable offline, the multiplayer-focused \"Guild Quests\" must now be tackled solo with AI companions, which significantly increases the difficulty and \"grind\" for high-tier loot.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"D3 Publisher","offers":[{"title":"Game + Case + Manual","offer_id":52037103026469,"sku":null,"price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0804\/1588\/3557\/files\/81C1TcgWxrL.jpg?v=1772156076","url":"https:\/\/bitjumpgames.com\/products\/white-knight-chronicles-ii-playstation-3","provider":"Bitjump Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
