The expert difficulty made this game 10/10 experience for me.

Just started watching your videos but really liking what I'm seeing. Good analysis that correlates well to what is being shown in gameplay footage. Glad I subscribed!

The song played when you board the airship is excellent. That little track stood out to me a lot for some reason.

Such a wonderful inspiration couple,playing games and review the games. Love u guys♥️

great video as always! Love the attention to detail and always the true thoughts on your games! Thanks for your continued work Johnny!

Both of these games gave me that "beautiful wonderful magical" feeling I got when I played chrono trigger back in 1995.

Great review as always!

I just finished Persona 5. I really want to play Ni No Kuni 2 so much!

Thanks for doing this video. It's very useful listening to your impressions while playing in it. It sounds like a game I'd enjoy, except the city building aspect. Is that something you could ignore and still finish the game?

Those graphics are amazing, cheers for the review guys!

Awesome vid you guys are great i def want to play this hopefully after GOW and FC5 i will - Matt

Love your videos good sir! Think I will pick this up. Heavily discounted on PSN right now.

Finally, someone mentioned the music! It has been bugging me.

Thank you! I loved the first one, I have it on both ps3 and Switch. I’ll purchase this on the Switch to add to my collection!

Great video. You really need to do a followup video on Xenoblade Chronicles 2. It was my favourite game from last year (and I played Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild, both superb games). Still playing it, now with the New Game Plus (and excited for what the last bit of the expansion pass).

I loved everything about this game, sure it was easy, but still enjoyed every second.

How does the soundtrack / music compare to the one in Zelda? I was considering purchasing that one when it comes out in a few days (quite pricy, mind you, at $125.55, but I really liked it while playing the game (just finished the main plot a few days ago). My 9 yo daughter kept saying how great she thought the music was too).

I just purchased the collectors edition of this for PS4 and I also purchased it on steam! Looking forward to playing it!

Y’all sold me on this for sure! It’s $10 on sale too right now 😍😍😍

LOVE LOVE LOVE this game, and LOVE LOVE LOVE Johnny and Kim :P

I platinumed it! Dreamer door 10 is no joke lol! Glad you both enjoyed the game!

You both have convinced me to get this

I loooove this game so much! Cant wait to get back on track with new content

I still need to finish the first one!

Once you beat all the tainted monsters it opens up 10 crazy hard tainted monsters. Plus if you do all the dream doors you fight a level 99 boss at dream door 10. So there is more if you look for it. I got my platinum in the game and I am now waiting patiently for the DLC. Also, I will add that the story in Ni No Kuni 1 is so much better. you should play it. That being said I loved this game as well.

I finished the game about an hour ago, wanted to come see what you all said about it. and I agree with everything. I took a break and came back once they patched diffuculty mode in (it was a litttle too easy for me when I got it at launch) Solid game I had a great time with it, and with the bonus DLC coming there will be more to come back to which is awesome.

Ff7 Temple of the ancients took me so long to find as well as one of the last dragons in lunar.

WOW. What a timing for you guys! I just finished the game yesterday and right on the spot you make final thoughts. The game was pretty much perfect for me. While the game is really easy (the only easier game I have on PS4 is Senran Kagura Estival Versus), it was so much fun. The battle system is great, feels like mix between "Tales of" and "Pikmin". I loved the Skrimish Battles. Altought they are more about high level than strategy, I still had a blast with them. There are also some great pazzles. My favourite one was the one with the Fairy Tale. And the Kingdom Building, damn, so much fun. The story is decent, feels similar to the anime "The Heroic Legend of Arslan", and Roland was my favourite character in the game. My only gripe is that too many cutscenes are not voiced, but that's the only problem I had with the game.

Nah. Even without Frantic mode, Estival Versus is extremly easy, even on hard mode on final levels. In Ni no Kuni 2 there are at least the tainted monsters which give some little chalange. I died a few times against the tainted monsters. Not that is matters, because Estival Versus is still my favourite game on PS4. I'm a casual player that don't care about chalange,

@TarksGauntlet

I liked estival versus a lot too. It's simply just a fun game, but i did find it offered more challenge than NNKII haha. But the challenge in NNKII will largely change from player-to-player. I constantly found myself over levelled for everything (Until very late post-game content anyway) so even tainted monsters were a breeze.

I'm about 15 hours in right now.. really enjoying it so far! My only complaint as others have said is its very easy but it makes that up with the game play and style.

How do you play a single player campaign as a couple?

Thank you for your very own constant knowledge, driving force together with education and learning to backup my voyage to becoming ever more consciously mindful as well as spiritually connected.

:) you guys are so good together.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed the strange music placement. Had to mute it in some areas I was grinding

For me, the game started off on the wrong foot. Where the first game took time to introduce Oliver and his plight, this one just throws you in the deep end with hardly any introductions. However, it ends spectacularly, with one of the best endings in recent memory. It had kind of the opposite effect the first game had on me. Where the first game started wonderfully, it ended with a whimper at best, and the further it went the less interested I became. This one I got more and more interested as it went. So overall, I'd say that Ni No Kuni 2 is a better game than the first.

😂she’s spot on hilarious with the music thing, and you’re right bits excellent music

Wow you guys finished your Kingdom? I stopped playing right before taking Evan back to Ding Dong Dell. It just felt overwhelmed. Im a bit of a competitionist and when I realized I was still around 40 citizens short of the full 100, I stopped. I like to get all the side quest finished before finishing the story because I usually don't go back after credits rolled and I felt like It was just too much left to do to finish my Kingdom. And that was after spending a ton of time leveling my Kingdom including leaving my PS4 on all night for days. So I finally said enough is enough. Still for what I played it was really very good. Maybe I will start a new game someday, like in a year or two.

I still love this game after years…

Ni no kuni or dragon quest ix. Wich is the best?

Glad you guys liked it. I feel I'm in the minority with the game. Over-all I thought it was "Good" but quite disappointing. The things I look for most in JRPG's is story and character development, and NNKII seems to regard them as the least important. On top of that I had some tech issues with frame-rates, lack of difficulty even in sidequests was always an issue, I would say end-game dreamers door and a couple tainted enemies are the only exceptions to this. And the end of the game.. ugh. I actually laughed at the plot-twists they tried to use but didn't actually set-up or earn using. Great JRPG for people with not a lot of time, and who are new to the genre, but for me, already knowing what I like in JRPG's this rather let me down. Probably the whole "Developed for the west" thing.

I got the platinum trophy for this game today and loved every second of it. only thing i found was it was far to easy but saying that it would be a great game for a new person to JRPGs . Great video i enjoyed watching :)

Loved the game a lot for all the same reasons besides the game forcing you to level up your kingdom to progress in the story. I just wanted to move on but had to wait for the money to level up stuff an hunt down characters in side quests (often fun). But I loved the rest! Now onto Xenoblade 2

Music never felt off to me. I think you are talking about places like the Forest of Niall, where it gets bombastic at the end of the song. The song is trying to evoke the feeling of a vast, daunting forest, as a Ghibli film would. It suits the fairy tale, curious, and youthful demeanor of the game.

I never played any of the Ni No Kuni games. And, I have to be entirely honest with everyone; but I am not much of an RPG fan. "Heresy!" I know, I know. Despite having played a few over the years on various platforms (Skyrim on PC; Persona 4 on PS2; Disgaea on PS2 as well; etc.); it is VERY difficult for me to invest myself in a singular game for the long stretches many of these require. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoy John's enthusiasm for this genre of games, and I can't help but find myself wishing I could change that aspect of myself, where I can't stay focused for long enough. Que sera, sera. Keep it up John and Kim 'cause it is genuinely infectious and there's absolutely NOTHING like genuine passion. Much respect from your crippled friend in Chicago.

Goldpaw is a clear example of what you say about the music. It's weird 😂😂

Agree completely. I'm just over 100 hours now. Think I'm gonna get my first platinum trophy here.

Game is really good like you said, but it could of been more. Like snow and desert areas are completley empty, what I mean by this, I would love to see more places to go, more villages, more different caves, maybe even more cities. But I was dissapointed that huge desert and snowmap were left so empty, hope this will fixed in expansion (which I was scared of) lefting some things out for expansions. Also, definetly more hard stuff, thats what we need. A great game, but it could have been so much better. Not a masterpiece, but a really great 8/10 game for me.

Why have they not done a remaster of the first game?

Does the combat become more challenging? I stopped watching because of the spoiler warning so not sure if you mentioned anything about that.

The best option to start with is DQ1 as "remake" for the SNES. You can emulate that, work your way up from there. From DQ4-6 I recommend the DS versions. If you don't have a DS or 3DS, stick with the SNES versions as well. After that Playstation or 3DS route.

RengaBeats Get the PS4 and play Ni No Kuni 2. The second game is different from the first one. It isn't a sequel storywise so you don't have to worry about having not played the first game.

Got my platinum for it after 86 hours. It was an excellent time.

I finished it last week. Took about 75 hours. I could of beat it sooner, but I spent too much time building my kingdom. I was trying to get all the characters for my kingdom, but ran into a glitch. I completed quest 5 before I got it, so when I officially got the quest, I got the kingdom character, but on the menu it wasn`t marked as complete. That "noncomplete" kept me from getting the quest for the last character I needed.

I'll get it on steam sale for sure.

1st comment, love you kim!!!

I might get to this game in like 20 years.. Through you I found the Ys series and I just beat Book 1 yesterday! I didn't come in with any nostalgia and I can honestly say it was a pretty awesome game. I'll be on to book 2 soon!

The lack of difficulty killed this game for me. I'm thinking about doing another playthrough without using the tactics tweaker and only upgrade one character. I could do that or a higgledies-less playthrough. I don't know, I just feel like BN should patch a hard mode.

just cleared it a couple days ago ...uh minus the weird army battle thing i loved the game i loved the music i literally didnt stop playing it till i beat it all in all id give it a 9/10, havent had this much fun in a game in yrs :)

I enjoyed the game overall. I really liked the combat and the characters for the most part. I could have done without the skirmish battles though. I just wish the characters had more to do, especially Lofty. My biggest disappointment was the story ultimately. It's a little too Kumbaya for my tastes.

Kim!! Yeah!!!

I love lamp.

I'm ok with the music thing! Just gunna play some other game's soundtrack instead, or watch some twitch streams.

What RPG will you guys play next? Octopath Traveler?

I beat the final boss at level 55, it was kinda hard

Im going for the plat so it might take me a little bit longer to beat it but turning off your mind and running around and doing fetch quest building your kingdom up is so relaxing and fun. Reallly really hate how little voice acting is on this game though.

Thanks for calling out spoilers. Sadly, must now Add to Watch Later. Im 44 hours in and all I can say is that he game picks up at the Factory and that whole area. Up until that, I was getting annoyed at certain parts (too easy, tons of random not-that-useful items and crafting scrap, giggledies=meh, and not so charming main character) but the game gets going around there.

First few hours I thought meh. Just another hack n slash JRPG. But it really really grew on me as I stuck with it. Definitely lacks the charm of the first, but the kingdom building and combat really evolves and becomes addicting over time. I think it's a great game and a really solid JRPG. Definitely an 8/10.

Has Kim played the new god of war ?

I wanted to get yakuza Kiwami how the hell did I get here!? Your content is awesome though.

Kim seems way chill man

Can't say I was really looking to get this, but I'm glad you two ended up enjoying the game. I did play the first one on the DS and the easiness of it was a bit of a mood killer, but that's on me for thinking a game like that would be remotely difficult. Not looking for it to be a stroke-causing, rage-inducing game, but I wonder how people would feel about the game if it was a bit more dastardly...

It was a neat, but easy turn-based JRPG. They did make the right call and held off until a PS3 release before bringing it over to NA audiences. The DS version doesn't demonstrate the Studio Ghibili art style as well as the PS4 version. It did come with a neat book filled with art and pages of different strokes you had to make on the DS to perform certain spells, so that was at least a positive for that version of the game.

is this game co op

I may have enjoyed this game more if I'd read going into it that Studio Ghibli had nothing to do with it. The character designs and world did very little for me this time around, sadly, and I felt like I was waiting for 2D animated cut scenes that were never going to come.

Just started playing this game some of the graphics are outstanding are some are disappointing I am in the labyrinth and thought it was a bit dull the levels are redundant in design and variety could have used a bit more polish. But still a fun game overall so far and would recommend it.

I like this review and I enjoy watching your videos in general. That said, your score for the game seems a bit weird for me What you told us doesn´t sound like a 8 out of 10 game. More like a 9 or even a 9,5. Basically an amazing game with only few and very small flaws. Imho a 8 out of 10 is a good game that has the potential to be amazing, but has to some problems that have an inpact on the fun. For me, zelda Breath of the Wild is a game like this (I would rate it a 8 - 8,5). Another example for a 8 out of 10 is good and fun game that doesn´t do enough to make it feel better and / or different from other games in the same genre.

100% agreed about the music. Sometimes its so out of place its jarring. Xenoblade 2 had a similar issue.

Hello you two!! Hail the Kim!!! 🖤🖤🖤

But it always feels like it doesn't have that final bold unique soul that so many Gibli films have.. That really clear and coherent signature in tone and message. It feels more like a solid standard work from a good company. But maybe I'm wrong. I only watched reviews so far. I love Gibli.

It took me 140 hours to get platinum for the games and around 40 hours of it just left it idle to collect king's guild

Both 1 and 2 are indeed good games, but IMHO not top notch JRPG. Kinda like Blue Dragon. I doubt I will get a third one, if they will make one. And I'm pretty sure, that if it was a multi-console-platform game, the ratings will be a lot lower. Love HCG for not been a Fanboy!
