Ha! You guys are still waiting for White Knight Chronicles? That's old news, folks. It's time to get hyped about its sequel. Unofficially titled "White Knight Chronicles: Awakening of Light and Darkness" (according to Andriasang), the sequel takes place immediately after the events of the first game. Leonard and his allies return to a world in chaos, with the City of Greed, the Kingdom of Barandel, and the Magic Republic of Foria all in trouble.
You'll create another avatar to join Leonard on his quest, and this time you'll be able to transform (a power unavailable in the first game). In addition to the requisite new areas, monsters, equipment and skills, White Knight Chronicles 2 will also feature a brand new female knight, and the ability to have six characters in your party.
SCE didn't reveal when the second White Knight game would hit Japan, but we do know this: English-speaking fans shouldn't expect to it see any time soon.

You'd think they'd get the EU (never mind US) release outer the way before announcing it's sequel.

Yet another androgynous tween protagonist. Sigh. People say Western developers are mired in the angrily grunting bald space marine morass, and you can't really argue that, but at least they chose to focus on one end of the gender spectrum!
That aside, combat looks solid and the story sounds interesting, so I'm looking forward to checking this out when it hits NA soil.

Wow, it's like you're trapped in some sort of bizarre Zeno's paradox of ennui.
Really, though, I don't know why the idea that there will be a sequel detracts from the original. To take an example, it's still worth playing Uncharted even though Uncharted 2 is (likely) even better.

Honestly though joystiq, why in the blue hell is this news for anywhere else other than Japan? Seriously....this and Yakuza 4 doesn't need to be headline news out of Japan until the rest of the world gets the current titles that are out first, to be excited for a sequal. To think this is not common sense, puzzles me.
