Ni no Kuni

I would offer some discussion... but I never even finished the first, and I can't get to my PS 4 at the moment.

SUDDENLY A MOVIE.

• Yoshiyuki Momose is returning from the game series to direct the film
• Joe Hisaishi is composing the score (which he did in the games)
• Level 5 CEO Akihiro Hino is the executive producer and scriptwriter
• OLM (Pokémon, Inazuma Eleven franchises) is animating the film

It won't be a retelling of the first or second games and will instead be a new story featuring high school students.

A while back, Warner Bros. Japan said they would do a big anime movie announcement. This must be that. Another point of interest:

Might this have some international distribution?

I've been playing Ni no Kuni since yesterday. I currently have about 4 hours so far. It's an alright game but it has it's flaws. I like the graphics and the artstyle and the story is decent(if a little simplistic). I feel like the combat needs some work, though, and the game feels a bit hand-holdy(especially at the beginning). It's not a bad game but not flawless.

Oh hey we have a thread for this.

How's Ni No Kuni 2? It's only twenty bucks at my local shop.

if you are only 4 hours in you haven’t scratched the surface, combat gets increasingly complex with its mon elements, spells and abilities. It’s one of those games that introduces mechanics way too slowly.

It’s good, the kingdom building elements are awesome and the combat system is pretty good. It very much is the Spiritual Successor to Suikoden

Ended up grabbing a copy but I probably won't get around to it anytime soon. Describing it as Suikoden-like certainly piques my interest though.

I got it on sale and have been loving it. There's a few annoying bits, but in general its a great experience. I love combination RPG's and city builders, and as an action RPG it's a great alternative to Tales.

A bit easy, except when it's not, though. I wish the game had better indication of what the actual level of encounters is, though. For example, with the Labyrinth DLC, don't tell me the recommended level is 60, then actually have the actual stage of the quest I'm doing be against a level 30 monster. Some quests in the game are made to be done gradually, but aren't presented that way.
