“ Joe its a Playstation only exclusive isn't it? ”

“ Yes it is. There was a previous installment of the game in Japan for NDS and later another version for the PS3. The PS3 version is basically a remake so it is a PS3 exclusive. Plus the DS version is not scheduled to be released outside of Japan. ”

Salvo 4 months ago

“ Weren't the PS3 and DS games two entirely different titles just set in the same 'universe'? I admit I haven't really looked too hard at the DS game, but that was the impression I was under (Probably because they had different names from each other for one thing). ”

PrometheusFan 4 months ago

“ They are two different games, but it is also a remake. It uses the same premise, story and gameplay as the DS version but it contains a lot of unique content and new way of displaying the same content. Only released in Japan, 2010. A shame, but now we get to play this version! ”

“ Hmm... I've just done some reading up on this game's development history. Seems the PS3 and DS versions went into development at the same time, but the only thing common between them was the premise and characters. The actual story, combat system and all are completely different otherwise. Seems an odd way to go about a project like this, but I guess they had their reasons. ”

PrometheusFan 4 months ago

“ The story isn't completely different from what I've read. it has the same basic plot points throughout. The mechanics are different though, but they are both JRPGs at heart. We should all be thankful it isn't just uprezzed DS assets 0_0 ”

“ Yes it was eventually a different game with similar story. I think about half-way into the game the story takes a different course in each. ”

“ Been a huge Ghibli fan for as long as I can remember, and I've been wanting to get this game so badly - sadly, being a broke father, I can't afford it at the moment... Even though I know my son would love to watch and play! Enough sob story - the game looks incredible, and I really can't wait to get my hands on a copy someday soon :) ”

“ I'm really excited for this, the demo reminded me a little of the good parts of FF7 (my favourite game EVER!) with the big map for exploring & encounters. First time in ages I've come to the end of a demo and just wanted to carry on playing! ”

Steven 4 months ago

“ form the looks of how the game is. it would prob be a rare one to find after the release. but i look forward to get this game for my gf. as she cant wait to play it. although from the demo it should have not bean a timed demo. other than that, it will be one of the best ps3 games to date. ”

“ I heard the Japanese sales were underperforming and they are hoping for a big hit internationally. I hope it sells well, because then we might see more Level-5 goodness. ”

“ Seems preorders alone have been above expectations, and the special edition is selling out everywhere judging by the clamor for it in the US already. Encouraging signs. ”

PrometheusFan 4 months ago

“ The 'clamor' is actually only a niche audience. It's such a minority that it is a subset of hardcore gamers who go online and post about games like this, who are still in to JRPGs. They're just very loud. I think it will do OK for the localisation costs though. ”

“ Ni No Kuni is a dream come true for me. I have waited so long for a game like this. It's like it was made for me. I'm a huge Studio Ghibli fan and I love old school JRPG's. I only wish some other big name RPGS would realize that it's okay to be a little old school sometimes. I'm looking at you, Final Fantasy. ”

“ Can tell you this, its been a top seller. It amazed me how popular this has became. Specially the special at the price it came out at. Players were basically fighting after getting a copy. And luckily we wont have the same issue the U.S had with over selling it. So who's order the SE or standard ed? ”

“ The art style is beautiful (with Ghibli on board, not surprised) but I wonder if this might lead to Level-5's Professor Layton coming to home consoles? Maybe it's just me, but I could see a market for it as a downloadable game. ”

da_kerr 4 months ago

“ I doubt there will be any of the current Layton games on consoles. Plus, I believe the final layton game is being released (or has been?) in Japan so if they go the console route we'll know about it in Japan first. ”

“ Ni No Kuni seems to have been very well received. To be honest, I was pretty put off it because of how the American Wizard's Edition comes with more goodies for about the same price. But you couldn't complain any more if you were lucky enough to grab yourself a free copy. Anyway, the game looks absolutely gorgeous, ay? ;) ”

“ This is the first time that I have entered for one of these competitions as Ni No Kuni is on my 'to buy' list due to all the articles read and videos seen showing off how amazing it looks! I came across it when browsing my favourite gaming website when they were detailing the special editions that are available with it. In my opinion, only games that are going to be of high quality and worthwhile entertainment come in a special edition such as Borderlands 2 or Far Cry 3. After looking into Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, I realised that there was a previous game that was japanese, but only for DS which also looked quite impressive. So to hear that they are doing a PS3 exclusive Ni No Kuni in English was great news! I haven't heard of very many games from Studio Ghibli and LEVEL-5 but I'm sure they have other great games that I am yet to discover. The story sounds quite sad, with Oliver trying to find a way to revive his mother, but I am sure this will make a great plot line and to me a plot line is the most important feature. I love to get sucked into an incredible story with massive twists and turns whilst keeping the gameplay fun. The game also reminds me of Final Fantasy with how they have the fighting system and world exploration, and as any gamer should know, the Final Fantasy games are classics! The artistic design and voice acting look to help enhance the games features of being an RPG. At first I thought it looked a little childish, but on second look it appears to pull you in more and besides ... how else are you going to have magic, comedy, saddness and happiness in a game without it looking kinda rubbish? Whether I win this competition or not, I am still going to get this game (may be a while due to budget, but I will not give up on this game). Thanks for reading ”

“ Oh yes, Level-5 have quite the proven track record in terms of great rpg's, most notably in the PlayStation 2 era with the likes of Dark Cloud, Dark Chronicle (One of my favorite games of all time.) & Rogue Galaxy. They've also created the White Knight Chronicles series on the PS3, which I've yet to play myself, but I hear good things. Anyway, as far as Ni No Kuni goes, Level-5 & Studio Ghibli is a match made in heaven as far as I'm concerned. Game looks absolutely stunning and I'm sure its crammed full of content like most Level-5 games are. Can't wait! ”

dr.sanchez 4 months ago

“ haha! I like me too DynamiteWhyte :p ......................... and I really do need to look into the games you've mentioned dr.sanchez, I hope the PS2 ones will be available on psn as I don't have a backwards compatible PS3. They are definitely on my watch list from now on like Bethesda and 2k Games/Gearbox. I do love Japanese of origin games, they do them so well. ”

shiny miller 4 months ago

“ The UK really isn't JRPG country... not even slightly. It'd probably be lucky to make the top 40. It could do well in other parts of Europe where Studio Ghibli stuff is massive though... I believe France is really hot for those guys, aren't they? ”

“ Preordered time ago, prepaid. Took the week off. Delayed. Wont be in when its delivered. Cant wait to travel to the post office to fetch it. Good luck all. Its a good. Even in Japanese. Even delayed a week, which was done specifically to annoy me and destroy my faith in humanity. ”

“ From everything I've heard about this game (and there all positive) it sounds as if it is almost like a console Pokemon game. I always wished Pokemon was on a console and not just a spinoff! This game looks fantastic, will definitely play it (especially if its free :-) ) ”

BEN 4 months ago

“ Its not like Pokemon really. The game its closest to is Eternal Sonata, you can collect monster tings, which is where the Pokemon comparison comes from. ”

Datastatic 4 months ago

“ Yeah it doesn't play like a Pokemon game, but you also 'evolve' your familiars. I think they have 3 forms... but I may have misread. They even have shinies in the special edition. ”

“ Ever since watching the first Ghibli film when i was very young i have wished to delve into the universes the studio creates, and now that dream is a reality! I hope/wish that a good reception for this game will lead to other games being made of its ilk, perhaps even some based on the themed universes in previous treasured Ghilbi films as well? Ive always wanted to visit Laputa as Patsu, how amazing would that be? Or wander the streets in the picturesque Kiki's Delivery Service? The possibilities are endless! Cannot. Wait. ”
