Exactly.. People get all angry and upset even though so far I think I've actually made steady progress through the game. Some of you are further in and have had text bubbles teaching you about things that I haven't yet. Things like "all defend / all attack" buttons, that's not implemented for me yet. Rather than screaming and shouting at me (which by the way, makes me want to drop the series), just tell me.
I've literally followed every bit of advice that I've been given in the comments so far and I make a point of addressing them at the start of each bulk recording. So.. What level do I need to grind to in order to fight the genie? Anything else I should know everybody?
Lol the funny thing is that i called all that 5 episodes ago. I have never played Ni No Kuni nor have I watched any videos aside from this stream. I also wouldnt be surprised if the entire thing turned out to be in Oli's imagionation. He's a boy who lost his mom, bonding to the toy she made for him, goes on epic advnetures with his new friend Esther (Myrtle). nobody can see him use magic, his magic wont work on Myrtle's front door. so... you know i think its all in his head.
It's not about how fast Martyn progress nor the pro he is. It's about the way he faces each little obstacle making his way through the game; it's entertaining because of the funny and genuine commentary, the great voice he gives to each character, his enthusiasm. This series made me sub to Martyn's awesome channel; please keep this series going for all of us loving it ("WE'RE THE 99%!")
I have Ni no Kuni, and I've seen you play. I adore this series. I don't care if you play badly (which you aren't).. The fact that you are playing the game in a way that you find fun, without breaking the immersion by researching the crap out of it is, in my opinion, rather admirable. The game is so much better if you don't research all the bosses before finding them. There is the occasional small thing, but those are the same mistakes I made when I started. Its a casual game.
Whoever said that damage effectiveness is dependent on the sign is incorrect, it depends on the element of the attack, you can see what your familiars are good and weak against by checking the friends and familiar page. You cannot see what is effective or not against an enemy until you got the familiar and inspect it yourself, or by experimenting in battle.
I haven't ever played this game and I (and my nieces and cousin) love watching this series. It's the little things that count- one person continues to watch your episodes, they show to their friends/family, then they do, and so on and so fourth. Don't drop this series because a few people say something bad. Continue the series because half a million people say something good (: Besides I would cry if it was dropped :S
Also, someone posted this: Pretty simple boss fight. His only really annoying move is Al-Khombo. When this happens just switch to who he is facing (thats who he will attack) and defend. If you get any miracle moves then try and use physical (Strippy) or Fire if you can, he resists water. This also means, don't use water bombs but cast Fireball
Why is Martyn getting so much hate. Like. Stop. He's new to this game. He's learning. Just because he's a popular TH-camr doesn't mean he has to be freaking Jesus at every game. He's doing fine. I quite enjoy this series. Keep up the fantastic work, Martyn!
Martyn, Please don't drop the series. You are my favourite youtuber because I've loved every single video you have done, I know how people like this get you down sometimes (as you've said in videos/tweets/livestreams and I think, not only in the game but in general that you've made amazing progress. I remember when you used to have about 100 people watching your livestreams and now you get hundreds of thousands of views on youtube. You're obviously doing something right so keep it up! ^^
I like how this is called a kid's game but it has a bit of swear words and a mother has a heart attack and dies. ANYTHING LIKE THAT IS NOT A KIDS GAME.
The boss just pulls out a random object with that one spell at the end, it doesn't have to be the flaming sword, it can be anything. When he grabs something ridicilous attack with Strippy. I think what 'bbruinenberg' meant is that sidequests give tons of xp, and I only think you did two. I hope this helps :)
Remember you should keep a strong familiar unmorphed(unevolved) to battle and give Sappy to Esther it is more compatible with her and Esther is the best healer until Oliver learns a tidy spell much more later in the game.
Martyn, you could only open up the purple chest when you had the twig and it said something about needing a better wand to open up a better chest, you HAVE an upgraded wand now so you can probably open up the blue chest and if not then a different coloured one.
I grinded to about level 22/23 and got him down with ease, so you can probably get him down at 20-ish. Also a word of advice, Ester can be of good use until the last section of the battle where she will die due to one of Al-Khemi's spells. P.S: Each character has 3 certain species which will get a 20% stat boost when using them. For example, Oliver is proper tidy with Strippy since he's a warrior and Ester is great with GoGo as he's a bird. Goodluck!
The best advice is to outfit all your familiars with the best weapons and armour from the nearby Cawtermaster and grind between each boss. And finally, stock up on regenerative items and sell the expensive ones to afford more. PS: Keep up the good work :D
No rush, Martyn! Level as much as you need. (Systematically speaking, I manage these types of games by setting minimum level requirements per new area. My least favorite, but most necessary level-gain-per-area, is 5 levels. It's the one method that preps the characters in the games I play for the tougher bosses. So if your base level at Ding-dong Dell is, say 10, then you should be level 25 or so for this port town... Leveling up is time consuming!) That wasn't a bad first attempt, though! DX
Im so sorry, Martyn that people keep screaming and shouting at you. I personaly think that you have done a GREAT job with this series. I really hope that people who criticise you are NEVER gonna do it again. Proper awesome mon! P.S Please don't drop the series!
Dont drop it. Half the fun of an RPG is in the learning, your true fans want to see you meet and overcome the challenges as you meet them. If you need to do a little unshown grinding every now and then no worries :) Go get that Shadar!
It's his first time playing it and to be honest he hasn't really done allot of leveling so give him a chance. And most of us probably watch it because he's playing it so it doesn't really matter.
it becomes a lot easier to control your team pretty soon, you unlock a feature to manage their behaviour! although its kinda stupid you dont get it from the start...
try going to a hootique now cuz it sells feathers that cures unconciousness its helpful (500 guilders) and if you play as esther you can use her chirpy tunes to heal more than the healing touch spell
inthelittlewood I would just like to ask how come you don't do a multiplayer play through? I would love that and may I just say your videos are amazing!!!!!
martin you can open up blue chests with spring lock and you will be able to open the purple chests with the same spell once you'd get a better wand like so he can see
i reaaaaaaally dont wanna piss anyone off but i just wanna say... normal mode means that you grind a bit in every area.. and easy means that you would like to stick to the main storyline
Not trying to be insulting Martyn, and I don't know if you just cut it from the videos or not, but I think you need to rest at Inns and save a bit more often. It'd restore your mP, give you a place to restart from nearby instead of wasting your money, and you get a page from the "Regions of the world" section each time you rest at the inn.
Martyn this is my favorite series yet and even i cant wait for you to do the next episode when it is done . 30:00 is not enough PLEASE DO A LIVE STREAM. Don't listen to these stupid trolls that come one just keep up the good work
This is my favorite series out of all the the Yogscast content. If a person needs perfection instead of personality, then they should just go play the game themselves. I would be pretty upset if you were to cancel Ni No Kuni. Please continue playing.
You could also put Esther on 'Heal everybody' or whatever it says, I think this makes her less eager to go toe to toe with enemies and makes her die less. Other than that swap out one of your familiars with Purrcy? as I think he's good at melee.
Water seems to be weak against him (blue numbers) and Fire is normal (white numbers) so I guess he could be Thunder or something like that so it would have been a great help to have leveled Kangy before this battle cause as far as I know he gets strong Earth-Attacks
And, to what purpose? Certainly there are a thousand things that are vastly more entertaining than simply trolling. I truly don't understand you kind of people's thought processing. It seriously amazes me how much one would allow themselves self-conflicted harm just for a morsel of entertainment or pleasure. Much like cutting your own wrists. Technically it's the same "award" for the same kind of price.
I recommend to grind some merit stamps from those quests so you can get some Tidy items mun. You should also get some gold for items and have about 5 more levels. Thats my advice.
It's PS3 exclusive as of right now. They may or may not port it to other platforms in future...which I hope they do...and it's to PC...so I can buy it...
And you probably just ruined your online reputation. Character online can be worth everything and is priceless. Obviously you don't care about yourself though, apparently.
Exactly.. People get all angry and upset even though so far I think I've actually made steady progress through the game.

I've literally followed every bit of advice that I've been given in the comments so far and I make a point of addressing them at the start of each bulk recording.
So.. What level do I need to grind to in order to fight the genie?
Anything else I should know everybody?
"Were going to stop the thief!" He says looting pots and chests for money and food...
It's scary how well he do the voice of Mario
Lol the funny thing is that i called all that 5 episodes ago. I have never played Ni No Kuni nor have I watched any videos aside from this stream.

Stop being so mean to martyn everyone he's learning
Sam Elliott yeah
Yeah
Yeah
The genie looks like he's rubbing himself when he checks out his new master...
It has been far too long my lovely ni no kuni!!!! Martyn you are truly wonderful for updating this as often as you can *hugs*
I have Ni no Kuni, and I've seen you play. I adore this series. I don't care if you play badly (which you aren't)..

The game is so much better if you don't research all the bosses before finding them. There is the occasional small thing, but those are the same mistakes I made when I started. Its a casual game.
We don't really care how good at it he is. We watch it because we like him, his commentary, his attitude, his personality, etc.
no...don't drop...ever....EVER...this has to be my favorite series out of all the yogscast! proper crazy mon!
Whoever said that damage effectiveness is dependent on the sign is incorrect, it depends on the element of the attack, you can see what your familiars are good and weak against by checking the friends and familiar page.

We don't care if you don't do it that well. I watch you because your amazing, lovely and
kind.

he's a frickin genie! he needs to follow his master no matter what!
I have been waiting soo long for this vid to come out
Also, someone posted this:

Please upload more of this. I'm getting bored of the other series! but this one is amazing!
Why is Martyn getting so much hate. Like. Stop. He's new to this game. He's learning. Just because he's a popular TH-camr doesn't mean he has to be freaking Jesus at every game. He's doing fine. I quite enjoy this series. Keep up the fantastic work, Martyn!

The intro made me choke on my coffee. Thanks Martyn...Thanks a lot XD
His current wand isn't strong enough to unlock it even if he has spring lock. So your argument is invalid.
that mario impression was spot on!!
A cauldron which wont open and makes scary noises, must be a genie! (Martyn totally didnt know beforehand....)
I like how this is called a kid's game but it has a bit of swear words and a mother has a heart attack and dies.
ANYTHING LIKE THAT IS NOT A KIDS GAME.
DaylightOwlXI Majora's Mask got an E rating, and that had the terrifying moon among other things.
tis the point of their existance friend.
The boss just pulls out a random object with that one spell at the end, it doesn't have to be the flaming sword, it can be anything. When he grabs something ridicilous attack with Strippy. I think what 'bbruinenberg' meant is that sidequests give tons of xp, and I only think you did two. I hope this helps :)
I like how he's like stop thief and steals hearts
A small tip about Esther:
Put her primary setting on "Heal Everybody" (or whatever it's called). That way she may last at least a little longer...!
you can open both blue and purple chests now mun, just whip out the cat king's wand and flippety doo, one spring lock spell and you're golden
There is a thief running away and martyn stops for every little thing, nice job genius
Remember you should keep a strong familiar unmorphed(unevolved) to battle and give Sappy to Esther it is more compatible with her and Esther is the best healer until Oliver learns a tidy spell much more later in the game.
You Shouldnt think about dropping this series, NEVER STOP WHEN THE GETTINGS GOOD, that guy isnt a PURE sap-a-ling!
Please ignore the haters, Martyn. Your true Saplings love watching you play this!
Martyn, you could only open up the purple chest when you had the twig and it said something about needing a better wand to open up a better chest, you HAVE an upgraded wand now so you can probably open up the blue chest and if not then a different coloured one.

The best advice is to outfit all your familiars with the best weapons and armour from the nearby Cawtermaster and grind between each boss. And finally, stock up on regenerative items and sell the expensive ones to afford more. PS: Keep up the good work :D
if there can be a multiplayer one i would love to play it like each player gets a character sort of multiplayer game
...if u die wen a familier gets killed doesent that mean your heart just dies then and there
I know im a little late but like most the people dont drop the series! its a great series and its one of my favorite, as it is for many people!!
No rush, Martyn! Level as much as you need.
(Systematically speaking, I manage these types of games by setting minimum level requirements per new area. My least favorite, but most necessary level-gain-per-area, is 5 levels.

That wasn't a bad first attempt, though! DX
Omg he did that Mario impression PERFECT!
Im so sorry, Martyn that people keep screaming and shouting at you. I personaly think that you have done a GREAT job with this series. I really hope that people who criticise you are NEVER gonna do it again. Proper awesome mon! P.S Please don't drop the series!
you weren't leveled enough dear martyn :3
Dont drop it. Half the fun of an RPG is in the learning, your true fans want to see you meet and overcome the challenges as you meet them. If you need to do a little unshown grinding every now and then no worries :) Go get that Shadar!
Martyn, when a companion dies you can resurrect them by healing them
Martyn: "blue chest, I dont have that one just yet"
Me: "... it was the first one you were able to unlock!"
I love how this game kind of forces you to talk to random npcs and read the lore.
a creature which looks like a balloon. he's a beast in a ice area
It says 22. Right click on the video and click on stop download and you will see.
I agree.. Some people just constantly want pro action in the game. But most of us enjoy the way you play.
It's his first time playing it and to be honest he hasn't really done allot of leveling so give him a chance. And most of us probably watch it because he's playing it so it doesn't really matter.
You can open chests that are blue and purple with your new wand!
it becomes a lot easier to control your team pretty soon, you unlock a feature to manage their behaviour! although its kinda stupid you dont get it from the start...
i havent ever seen the entire game but i whas thinking something like that already
(Whisper) rude
It's literally in the first sentence of the description
that's not true. Yes you might get golden glims, but bosses become less and less likely to drop gold glims when you collect them.
Every time you defend the Al-Combo (Entirely) you get 2 or 1 golden glims.
can't wait for the next ep your in for a treat since i already passed all this.
You know he's a gamer when 10% of his money is $132.
:)
stealing money, food, and even pieces of people's hearts, and they don't even care... yep, Ollie is the best thief ever
if you go outside castaway cove you can get a catlike familiar which when eventually becomes stronger than strippy.
try going to a hootique now cuz it sells feathers that cures unconciousness its helpful (500 guilders) and if you play as esther you can use her chirpy tunes to heal more than the healing touch spell
Also, go back and do some sidequests, they both provide merit stamps, which give you fairly nifty rewards and money for equipment?
At first I thought the cauldron was gonna be a toilet. The guy said that the family that owned the cauldron "used it"
inthelittlewood I would just like to ask how come you don't do a multiplayer play through? I would love that and may I just say your videos are amazing!!!!!
Martyn green icons in your minimap are people who have pieces of heart for you to take. You always have trouble finding who it is.
Martyn every time you post an episode I want to buy the game more and more. What platforms is it on?
is there going to be more episode for this series cause i like this series
i know a phoenix feather is good so i bough it but dont know what to make it into
martin you can open up blue chests with spring lock and you will be able to open the purple chests with the same spell once you'd get a better wand like so he can see
Ni no kuni again yay
damit i want to read it sooo much!!!
i reaaaaaaally dont wanna piss anyone off but i just wanna say...
normal mode means that you grind a bit in every area..
and easy means that you would like to stick to the main storyline
Not trying to be insulting Martyn, and I don't know if you just cut it from the videos or not, but I think you need to rest at Inns and save a bit more often. It'd restore your mP, give you a place to restart from nearby instead of wasting your money, and you get a page from the "Regions of the world" section each time you rest at the inn.
but hopefully his video wont get corrupted again
Martyn this is my favorite series yet and even i cant wait for you to do the next episode when it is done . 30:00 is not enough PLEASE DO A LIVE STREAM. Don't listen to these stupid trolls that come one just keep up the good work
Well he skips the dialouge but "Ollie-boy" asks people if he can borrow a piece of their hearts and they all say yes
starts going after the thief, steals 20 guilders from a pot...
This is my favorite series out of all the the Yogscast content.
If a person needs perfection instead of personality, then they should just go play the game themselves.
I would be pretty upset if you were to cancel Ni No Kuni. Please continue playing.
You could also put Esther on 'Heal everybody' or whatever it says, I think this makes her less eager to go toe to toe with enemies and makes her die less. Other than that swap out one of your familiars with Purrcy? as I think he's good at melee.
LOL it said episode 20 on the thumbnail!!!!
Water seems to be weak against him (blue numbers) and Fire is normal (white numbers) so I guess he could be Thunder or something like that so it would have been a great help to have leveled Kangy before this battle cause as far as I know he gets strong Earth-Attacks

when he cought the thief, I was like, come on drippy! you have to hold the pot! then he picks it up! whoo drippy!
Martyn when they have a heart to give they glow green on the mini map, and you should try on the chest anyways just in case you are wrong.
Yeah keep your guard up and stay away from the Genie! Make sure you get alot of gaurding armour for the most strongest familiar. You Can Do It Martyn!
this was the fastest 15minutes of my life
It's PS3 exclusive as of right now. They may or may not port it to other platforms in future...which I hope they do...and it's to PC...so I can buy it...
who knew that martyn was being a dope when he saw the blue chest and thought it was the purple one
BTW the genie is easy also ester is not useless if you set up tactics right.
I love this serie's! It's my favorite serie's!
I'm gonna trust you instead of clicking on the show the comment button even though it's incredibly tempting.
You can open up blue chests. Just not purple ones.
And you probably just ruined your online reputation.
Character online can be worth everything and is priceless. Obviously you don't care about yourself though, apparently.
Haha, I love the way Martyn says theif!
you can open those chest you got the new wand
Please Martin dont drop this Serie .
