so, did you buy Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch?

Yes, i bought Ni No Kuni today. I do not normally play JRPG games, but i figured i would give this one a try. So far i am liking the game. It is beautiful looking ( and sounding ). Unique characters make the game feel less of a Japanese game ( no spikey hair dudes in female clothes ) and more of a fantasy i can relate. Its a nice long intro that teaches all the play mechanics, so i am not stressing out over anything too complex, yet anyway. So far, its a really good game.

I'll get this weekand in sha allah

[QUOTE="Geminon"]i bought it and i like it and hate it at the same time. the writing is pretty poor and the game is extremely childish. i mean, characters say "jeepers" "golly" and just act like ignorant 8 year olds all the time...it is all very cheesy. the gameplay however, is amazing. it is also an extremely nostalgic game. these two things are ALL that is keeping me playing.Bigboi500

I bought it on release and got the Steelbook at Gamestop. I'm really enjoying it so far.

I have no idea what it is or what kind of game it is, so I'm not interested.SoNin360

My GFs 13 year old brother was making fun of me for playing a "kids" game. I asked him why its for kids. He told me no blood, the main character is a child

At least he knows that he is a child since the main character is the same age as him.

The game is absolutely fantastic. It's shaping out to be the best JRPG this gen, which isn't saying much, but it blows everything else out of the water.

This. This game reminded me that JRPGs can still be whimsical without being cliched and obnoxious.

I bought the game last night and, for the first time in a long time, I lost track of time while playing. Logged in about 4 hours and it's already shaping up to be one of my favorite games of this gen. I'd say favorite JRPG, but like you said, that's not really saying much these days. :(

I'm not able to buy it full price. I will wait until it drops to like £15-20 before pulling out the wallet.

Man, this game is getting tough. I'm getting my butt kicked on EASY right now. I'm pretty stacked level-wise and my familiars are equipped solidly, but I'm just dying. Perhaps I'm just not getting my tactics set correctly or something.

My only complaint about the game is that familiars start at Level 1 again when you metamorphise them. That's kinda lame in my opinion. You have to seriously grind more than you need when you evolve them.

I am getting ready to buy a Ps3 just for Ni no Kuni and all the other great exclusives dropping this year on Ps3. I have been all about Xbox the past couple of years and now am glad to say I'm going back over to the dark side.

Not a good excuse, but certainly among the oldest. To answer the topic, I just got it today and it's awesome. I'll have to force myself not to play it constantly.

Yeah, it's a pain and really makes you think about leveling your creatures. I need to find a good balance of familiars though for my characters. I'm thinking of givng everybody some really good attackers and having no one use abilities for normal fights and then switch the tactics for boss fights.

I'm too busy with other games right now, but I'll buy it eventually. However, considering all of the games coming out in the first half of the year that I want on day one, it will probably be quite a ways down the road.

I'm about ten hours into the game right now (just got Esther in my party) and while I'm still thoroughly enjoying the game and, so far, intending to 100% it, I have a few minor complaints.

I wish the monster stat raising system was handled differently. It's sort of boring having to sit there feeding my monsters ten treats per level to maximize their stats. Obviously this isn't mandatory, but the fact that the option is there makes me need to do it; I've always been a completionist in my RPGs, for better or worse.

My other complaint is just how fast the battles move. When I go to defend against an enemy's oncoming special attack, for example, the attack often ends up going off way before I can defend. This applies to healing as well. By the time I've sorted through my spells to heal a party member, she's likely dead. Is there a way to "pause" the battle to sort through the menu to defend/heal or is it just a matter of quick menu navigation before the enemy's attack goes off?

no thanksNengo_Flow

Same here. Looks lame to me.

Would you guys recommend the game if I had never played a JRPG? Granny_Spanked

I will once I actually have time to play it, I already have so many games I need to finish up and college takes up most of my time. I'm looking forward to it though.

It's excellent. Level 5 sure does know how to make great games.

I will eventually. I've been playing DMC when I have the time (spring semester started a few weeks ago and I have two exams coming up along with 2 career fairs I MUST ATTEND). I've been itching to play a JRPG so I downloaded Final Fantasy Dimensions for the time being lmao :P

no, but my birthday is around the corner :D

I vastly enjoyed the demo for this game and will buy it when the price drops, and when I'm done with Dragon Quest 9.

i've got an eye on it but i heard the npc ai is kinda weak... anybody confirm or deny this?
