The first hour of Ni No Kuni is ridiculous. Seriously. When you're first introduced to your companion Drippy you're going to be sitting, jaw agape, at how cruel he sounds. The way events unfold is swift, jarring, and emotional. I tried to put that aside in order to enjoy the gameplay mechanics, surely they would be better? Then when the battle system was introduced, it just wasn't what I was expecting. What a massive letdown. So I set it aside, played through a few other games, waiting to get into an RPG mood again, then finally gave it another shot.
I love the Studio Ghibli style, and I'm sure that is one of the major draws for people checking out this particular game, so my initial disappointment was greater than it would have been for any other game. I WANTED this to be great and for my first impression to be so bad really took the wind out of me. Loading it up again I was prepared for an average-at-best product...but boy, was I wrong.
The alternate reality established in Ni No Kuni is just so...bluntly honest. Drippy is not the cute little companion you expect, he says things that cut right to the heart of whoever he is talking to, and manages to emotionally invest you in the various characters you meet because you sympathize with their plights. Somehow, Drippy's worst quality is what makes him such an amazing character. It is like he can't help but see the world for what it really is, all illusion aside, and that makes everyone he interacts with feel all the more real.
Oliver (the main character) is almost the polar opposite of Drippy, he is careful with everything he says, kind to everyone he meets, and sees the best even in the worst of people. Everyone from your allies to your enemies have very real, very complex, and sometimes astonishingly warped motivation for being the way they are. You feel incredibly involved in the world, like your actions really are making a difference to the citizens of each town. One of the main sidequests of the game is to heal the broken hearts of everyone who has come to be overwhelmed by it's power. The very idea of being able to help someone with their broken heart is very inspiring and the detail that went into telling the story of each broken heart is surprisingly rich.
It may take a little while for the charms of Ni No Kuni to envelop you but once they do, you'll be absolutely hooked. For one, the art style is the kind that makes your inner little kid smile. You collect numerous animal/robot/undead/other companions on your journey, being able to switch between them at will as you seek to unravel the mysteries of a strange new world. At first the battle system isn't all that spectacular but once you gain control of more creatures the intuitiveness of the system really starts to shine. You can choose any variety of play styles based on which creatures you control and you eventually grow very attached to your favorites, especially when you find that it may be time to switch them out for a stronger one. You don't have to though, you can use the same creatures for the entire game, leveling them up from relatively weak to exceptionally strong if that is what you choose.
The amount of care that went into the details of locations, your interactions with other people, and the vast lore that exists in-game is unheard of. Ni No Kuni allows you to free roam from almost the very beginning, finding buried treasures, gaining new allies, and jumping into new locations you have no hope of surviving in to try to grab some higher level items early on. The game is perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of hand holding before unleashing you on the greater world. Everything feels alive and you feel more alive as you experience it.
After many weeks of play, I can most certainly say that anyone who bought this game at full price definitely got their money's worth. For the rest of us who are buying it at 1/3rd that cost, we're getting the deal of the century. If you're a fan of RPGs, if you're a fan of Studio Ghibli movies, if you're even just a fan of a good story, you will want this game. I rarely ever gush when I write reviews, mainly because those sorts of reviews tend to not sound very genuine, but I assure you that I do it with good reason. If you own a PS3 then you should own Ni No Kuni.
Animation - It features absolutely breathtaking animation that appeals to all ages.
Music and Soundtrack - It has a wonderful full sound to it. It features full orchestra pieces of music. This makes it feel like you are inside a movie.
Gameplay - I have just begun to play the game but thus far the gameplay is fairly straightforward and very creative. The in-game guide( in the persona of Drippy the hero's sidekick) gives you a full and complete explanation of all game mechanics.
I absolutely love all games that Level 5 has done. You will will really appreciate this title if you enjoyed Dragon Quest VIII. This title features the same rich animation, sound, and gameplay as its predecessor. I also enjoyed such Level 5 titles as Dark Cloud 1 and 2 and Rogue Galaxy. Level 5 isn't necessarily a prolific game maker but each title it puts out is a quality well done masterpiece. You are sure to truly enjoy this title!
Warning, it starts very slow. Once it takes off, though you won't want to put the controller down.
First, the visuals are still pretty good for a 5 year old game. The story and soundtrack are fantastic. A fun game to play. Although fun, it can be frustrating at times too. The battle system has sort of a long delay time after you perform an action to the time you can perform another that makes me pull my hairs out. Not to mention your party members are pretty useless... well not entirely but you will still have to "babysit" them when facing tough enemies.
Even so, I still find the overall experience of this game very good. It took me 48 hours to beat this game but I did do a lot of errands and bounty hunts that added a few hours of game time. This is a game you need to add to your game library.
If you are a fan of anime jrpgs like the tales of* series or other level 5 games, this is not like them at all. I would even go as far as saying atelier games are more entertaining despite the underwhelming nature of the games. Not saying its terrible but not for anyone looking for any sort of action adventure I would say.
I hear the sequel is more "adult" or grown up than this which puts it up to par with aforementioned jrpgs so maybe that would be better but this is not that.
