      I never had a problem with them going back down to level 1. This game is easy enough that you can get them back up to their previous level pretty quickly, and their stats are all the better after it.

      And then there's putting the Lore together. As someone who put the pieces together for 1, putting together from 2 hurts at the feels.
      Of course, there's the DS, then there's the PS3 for Ni No Kuni. I am playing 2 to help me see which of the two is it following through.

    It's wild how the game is simultaneously shallow and deep. The wizard's companion is tremendous and actually having to write things down from it for problem solving was a treat, I just wish there was more involvement with it, hat off to the localization team as they did a really good job.

      Aside from the joke I referred to, I do agree with you. Sometimes people will hold on to certain things, story or plot or characters from other entries into a series and dictate something solely on that, when it doesn't have any connection to it other than the name. Sometimes, if you just take a step back and look at something for what it is and stop looking at what it isn't, its not that bad.

    Ni no Kuni was the game that brought me to play JRPG. Before Ni no Kuni I played only a few JRPG (like Pokemon, and FF13 that I got stuck on the start. and Ar Tonelico). But after some time, I started other JRPG, and highly enjoyed them. "Tales of" became my favourite game series (which I played all the games on PS3, Including Vesperia), and Tales of Xillia is still my favourite game since I played it. I then play Nights of Azure, Golden Sun, Shining Resorance, and White Knight Chronicles, Disgaea, Ateleir, and Time and Eterinty.
    Most of that is thanks to Ni no Kuni.

    I feel like the Wizard's Companion goes so underappreciated. It's definitely one of my highlights on playing the game for a second time, it's basically a built in wiki. It shows tons of information on nearly every enemy, tons of lore, interesting stories, foreshadowing, explanations and even the map proved very useful as it showed all the rough locations of the hidden treasures and forest dweller villages. At a lot of points in the game I said out loud "I know this, I studied my wizardry!" At least 25% of my 90 hours in the game were spent in the wizards companion I honestly want one irl

    Not going to lie, I've not done much post game. But trying to get an few specific familiars was painful. Even more so when the game decides to give you the second copy almost immediately while making the first one a complete PITA.

I'm older and have neither the time nor the wrist strength to play a lot of games anymore, so it's really nice to have a bright, simple game like this, even if I could see the ending coming a mile away.

    Did you know that the DS version of the game came with an actual bound book of the wizard's companion which you need to play the game? You need to look up the spells the first time you use them and some of the puzzles rely on the player finding the answers in the actual physical book! Additionally it also has a few short stories that are written in a fairy tale style and that flesh out the Ni no Kuni world! It is such a shame that the DS version never made it across the ocean from Japan. I got the Japanese DS game and the book and it was an amazing feeling playing the game with the book in hand. It is also beautifully illustrated and explains the in-game mechanics very meticulously. You can basically feel the care and charm that was put into this game oozing from this book! I wish they also included it with the PS3 game but I suppose the costs to actually print that would be enormous.

      Imal00ter20 Nausicca was made by Miyazaki but I believe it predates Studio Ghibli. could be wrong tho

    • @dancerfromsamoa
      @dancerfromsamoa 6 ปีที่แล้ว +62

      Ben W yup, Nausicaa was made while Miyazaki was still in Toei, but it's still considered a Ghibli film.

      Imal00ter20 nausicaa wasnt made by ghibli technically. It was made by ghibli staff, but before ghibli came to existence.

    Just one minir correction at 1:50 mark... Studio Ghibli started with Nausica, not Totoro. But yes, it was Totoro that made them famous worldwide. And before Nausica, Miyazaki was already a legend in animation, and had directed a Lupin III movie, The Castle of Cagliostro and many others like Future Boy Conan and a bunch of World Masterpiece Theaters

    I don't think words can express just how absolutely excited I am that you finally are covering Ni No Kuni! It's one of my all-time favorite games, and the impact and affect it had on me during an extremely hard time of my life was super meaningful. For real, I know that JRPGs take a while for you to cover because of how long they take but this is fantastic and further secures how good I feel about finally covering this game on my own channel. Can't wait to hear what you got to say on the sequel!

      I completed the game lore wise, but not familiar or equipment, because those rarest materials are a pain.
      And they came from GOLDEN creatures as rare drops. Let that sink in. Double Planet creatures are hard enough to find as it is, let alone getting one tamable on defeat.

  • @afkbender3686

    Very very cool video, I thoroughly enjoyed it! I never owned a ps3, just xbox360s, and have always felt like I've missed out on Ni no kuni. I own a PS4 now but it sadly overheats constantly, so I decided on getting Ni no kuni 2 on my laptop and I am having tons of fun. Also it runs great, maxed settings, and looks absolutely beautiful. I Subscribed and plan on watching all of your videos, based off of this video alone I expect that I will not be disappointed. Thanks for all your work and that of your team as well, please keep on creating and take care!

  • @Lemegeton300
    @Lemegeton300 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I have NEVER understood the people who claimed this game was Hard. The Bosses "really" telegraph their big attacks giving you ample time to issue the "defend all" command. Sure there were a few small spikes in difficulty, but i have seen people who claim the game required tons of grinding to finish the main story and i find that crazy

    • @Pooky1991
      @Pooky1991 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think their getting hard confused with bad mechanics. The bosses aren't hard, but trying to effective play with how the mechanics are set up is. So much would've been better if defend, magic, and your items had their own assigned button during combat so you're not constantly shuffling pass actions
