    i thought this added to it. often, text is better than voice acting, unless acting is really nailed down well. for the most part, this gets passing marks in voice acting, but i cant help but wonder how much better it would have been in the original language.

    I was a day 1 player and can personally say this is worth the buy. This took me roughly 100 hours to do everything in the game. Except for my kingdom building. Plenty of content for your money and well worth the bucks spent if you like JRPGs. The story is Fanfuckintastic and the gameplay once you've figured out the mechanics of everything makes this game worthwhile.

    Should I finish the 1st one befor I get this or maybe just dive into this and then go back n finish the 1st? The only thing that is slowing down my interest is literally the combat system I'm just a bit played out of the pokemon formula and idk I got that game for 8$lol what a steal but I also don't feel likr I need any of the new pokemon games which is good cuz they cost a lot lol but I like the real time combat n world building story I get the feeling that this game can make me want to finish the 1st game even more than had I not play this 1st idk maybe I have it wrong? Or is it something I'd enjoy more in order like finish 1 then get this? Lol

It might also be becuse I like both action and turn based games so I got the hang of Ni No Kunis combat rather easily. I often hear people say its dificult and grindi but to me its a very easy game. There where 2 bosses I died to and only one where it happend more than once. I think I needed 3 ore 4 tries.

    I adore this game, and Higgledies are really effective, and adorable. I like using them. I liked the first Ni No Kuni for the story, but that combat system gave me a damn headache. Your teammates were not that helpful, and they kept dying. Ni No Kuni 2 battle system is really fun, and refreshing. My best friend got this for me as a birthday gift, and I am so glad he did. Also for those asking if you need to play the first one. No you don't, unless you just want it for the story. This game just takes place 100 years after the first in the same world.

    To me this game is successful (I have completed it) because of its ability to retain that classical Studio Ghibli fantastical fiction and wonder without being childish. The art style continues to be amazing as they always have. Gameplay manages to capture my attention and keep me interested for 40-ish hours. It plays and feels like a Studio Ghibli animation that you can participate, which should be enough to capture the hearts of all Ghibli fans out there.

    i dunno about you, but treat everything IGN says with a heaping spoonful of salt, if it is a big name western AAA game/nintendo made game, expect it to brownnose the crap out of the game, then for everything else, it tends to be a schizophrenic mess, as most of the time, since they have such a large and varied group of reviewers, they just randomly dole out titles to any rando reviewer on their payroll, since there is no dedicated reviewer or small number of reviewers, there cannot be any consistency, as everyone's tastes are different, so its very hard to tell if what they complain about or love is relevant to you.

    This game is simply phenomenal. It takes the essence of every jrpg trope and boils it down to a caramel sticky puddle of syrupy joy. Its just so damn fun to play. None of the elements of this game are done better than in other games, but the streamlined nature of each allows your focus to shift around at a whim so that you are constantly excited with each new shiny experience. And my god! That soundtrack. I swear if people were able to be objective about video games .... Listen its better than Breath of the Wild. It just is. Please play this.

    Played the game. Finished it. Loved it. Some may say the game is too short for a JRPG (Approx 40-50 hrs or so). However, with the recent update ,it took me 100hrs to complete it. The updated version 4.00 adds extra difficulty which are Hard and Expert. Play the game in Expert. Its worth it and its basically a loot fest. You can easily get purple tier items playing in Expert difficulty. Its very challenging but it's super worth it.

It wasn't bad by any stretch but at no point was I going "Ok, I need to play more to find out what happens". It was a lot of fun though and that's what counts. 140 hours from opening to closing credits here and I could probably go back and add another 20 if I wanted to platinum it.

It keeps you interested nonstop along with if you dont initiate everything the game has given you to play theres no way you'll beat it. Im roughlt 98% done with the game currently. And only wish it had more expansions to it rather than explaining the ending with Ferdinand being the world king.

The game is as colorful as Zelda breath of the wild, beautiful world and landscape, I would definitely recommend this game if you like JRPG, but you can wait for a while for the price to drop since it's a single player game. Anyway you should pick it up some time along the way.

    Crepe Maister what you want is a Dark Cloud 2 Remake.. we already got something close to a dark cloud 2 remaster where it's basically a ps2 game running at an upscaled 1080p with trophies support and it's actually run significantly better than on the ps2.

    I think you forgot to add the part about the game where you are forced into doing tedious side quests so that you can level up your kingdom. In later parts of the main storyline, you are completely forced to make use of the time management sytem(the kingdom you buil) if you want to access the otherwise locked parts of the story. Rejoice fans, you have to forcibly do 40+ tedious side quests and wait for your kingdom to make enough money to upgrade to level three, and make a very specific building, all to be able to do the endgame.

One thing that this game made me realize is that " so this is what it meant by games u play to have fun and relax" i mean so far i played many good games like witcher, tales games, RDR 2 and honestly everytime i played those i always have a goal like finding better equipment, doing quest to get stuff, pushing questline to get the story etc. But this game doesn't give me any of that, i just play and thats it. Its a weird kind of fun but a very welcome one. Definitely an experience i would reccomend to everybody

    I really liked collecting the cute monsters, so I'm kinda shocked to learn that this isn't a part of the 2nd game. But I hated the combat system. Running around and dodging in real-time: yeah, fine. But browsing through menues for attacks, items and spells, during the real-time fight: hell no! That is something you do in turn-based combat or when the fight is paused. Maybe I'll go for it, since they changed the combat system. It's on Steam winter sale right now...

    The game seems really interesting, I've never played any of it or the previous one, but what I find weird is the misfitting textures art. In some places is realistic (like when you fight), in the kingdom is cartoony and almost low-poly, and then at the towns is somewhat in between. Is there any lore explanantion for that or is it just the style of the game? Is there any type of spacial/time disorder or something that provokes the "scenarios" to not match each other consistently throughtout the whole game?

    Parody Vids true. So far it seems like a race to kill the enemy before it kills you. In the sense the enemies can have crazy high damage output but don't hit you because of dodging. The difficulty probably comes from surviving the attacks that manage to hit/stun you

I add : Is also nice that in some points of the game you can switch the character and play as them (example: caves and map) When there was to fight I always used Roland because the tutorial made me love the way he moves in the battlefield. (Sorry my English if I made some mistakes ;; )

    I do like how the intro moves along a lot faster in the 2nd compared to the first. I loved being able to get right down to it, but I still would have preferred to have the openings switched a bit. Like start with Evan getting ready and then interject Roland rather than the other way around. This feels a lot like a Tales game. I really do like this game though. It just doesn't feel like Ni no Kuni.
