>>1151120 my brother in law tricked me into buying this game and since it was on sale i bought nino kuni 1 & 2...needless to say, i was greatly dissapointed

>>1151120 if only the monsters were cooler i would continue playing the game but they are all very boring, second game had better gameplay and i completed it but the story is ass

>>1151120 The setting is cool and I'm glad Level 5 brought the Georama system back, but the AI is abysmal. Really wish they went with the turn based combat from the DS version than whatever the fuck they came up with for the PS3 version.

>>>/vb/ You forgot to type "Ni no Kuni" in the subject field, newfag, sage.

>>1151120 lets not forget the original game they made tabletop rpg tier manual for it who was that meant for anyway? the manual had a biblical level of lore and archaic language alphabet like its oblivion and you cant play the game without going to the manual every minute cause each spell has a weird stylus swipe combo the game itself is very childish so manual nerds arent touching it either I 100% believe the game was made solely for the devs with no target audience in mind

>>1151120 This was one of the most disappointing and boring games I've played recently. It could have been so good but the catching mechanics being what they are totally ruined the game, not to mention so many of the familiars just being worthless-tier filler.

>>1171403 For me it was combat. I'd bother with finishing the game if the combat wasn't that unbearable. That much effort in worldbuilding and they forgot to make interesting gameplay.

>>1171499 Yeah the combat isn't great, the AI is retarded and will burn through all of its mana as quickly as it possibly can, it wasn't the weakest link for me though. Another thing I had a problem with was just how much the game holds your hand for the beginning. The game really feels like it almost never opens up until you get the boat.

I was pretty young last time I played it, I think I got to the boat fight with the dark djin before my ps3 had a unfixable issue. I never got that far again. I wanna replay but the beginning is such a slog of handholding, it’s why I don’t replay pokemon games either.

>>1151120 The intro made me cry, I love the vibes, things like the magic book you leaf through and places like the Fairyground but sadly I lost focus and didn't beat it. I don't dislike the game at all but goddamn it feels slow.

Yeah I was disappointed. The story is good, the animation is fantastic. I love the wizard book in the game. Yet the gameplay is trash. I was really disappointed after playing this game for a good while - I was travelling the high seas, visiting islands and visiting fairy island (and the industrial village), before I stopped playing. I wanted it to be better, but the gameplay just was lacking.

>>1168860 >who was that meant for anyway? Good old anti-piracy measure.

>>1178266 I love this game but I love creature games in general. The biggest sins are that there's no NG+ to mess around with some of the late game creatures and the last party member is completely fucking pointless and just gimps 3 of the creature races for no real reason. Also takes too long to let you recruit stuff. But I'd still recommend this game if you have tolerance for slower pacing, sucked me in with the artstyle and collection autism.

>>1168860 >made solely for the devs So it was based then? So it had soul and people just weren’t ready for it?

I enjoyed Ni No Kuni. I didn't realize it was so hated

>>1531124 please don't start spam bumping old threads

>>1151120 My problem with the game (first one), is that the protagonist is 12, right? But he looks like he's 6, and acts, talks and thinks, like he's 4. He is slow and stupid and sucks. I want to play as someone else, please.

>>1531134 >don't respond to threads that are currently on the catalog for users to interact with Sorry babe, doin it anyway >>1531471 They probably did that to try to make it more cute or whatever for the Jap audience
