Ni No Kuni: The Another World

eternal sonata and lost odyssey bring 'classic' elements of jrpg and fresh it up but from reading shifty's post, it seems ni no kuni is just a classic jrpg?

can't wait to get back to home town and borrow my friend ps3 to try the demo
 
It's not turn based like a true 8 bit JRPG. Or rather, it's real-time but with actions taking an amount of time. Slightly faster than "character one - attack, character 2 - defend, character 3 - magic > heal", but still the same underlying principles. I liked Rogue Galaxy's real-time combat. Wish that design was taken forwards. But the end-of-fight recap pages have to go IMO. All they do is slow any game down. I hammer the button to skip them, which accelerates them slightly but never skips them completely, making me wonder why they even bothered to have a response to button mashing to try and skip them.
 
The jaggies in this game are beyond awful. I have pretty much given up hope for Japanese devs this gen. Breaks my heart to as I wanted to love this game. Sorry, a lovely game ruined by technological problems. Put the damn thing on PC and be done with it. When are these japanese going to wake up to the fact they don't live in an insulated world anymore. PC games sell and the community is bigger than ever before. I'd drop 50 on this day one on Steam.

After being a PC gamer for over a year this stuff just doesn't cut it not that it ever did anyway. SO many jaggies just ruins and ***** on the artstyle in every way.

This gen is just a cluster**** of bad design and no thought for the future. Away with it already. Couldn't even fit in MLAA or something? Good god.
 
Ha ha! Why one should never switch to PC gaming - your sensitivity to IQ goes through the roof and you can never again play on consoles. I thought the IQ wasn't too bad on this, played on a 1680x1050 monitor from a viewing distance of 3-4 feet. Certainly not Rogue Galaxy/FFX style IQ murderousness. Had some filtering on the ground texture at least!

You have very high hopes/expectations for a game that was upported from the DS ... :LOL:
 
It looks pretty bad to me but I am playing on a nice 42 inch local dimmer about 4 feet away. Honestly, I can't really play games that look like this anymore. It is possible just not really fun or immersive to the point I get over it. Game does look a treat otherwise but I don't want to have to sit there and be reminded of all those flaws every time I move.

I mean let us be honest, 1080p and 4xMSAA would have made this game unbelievable. I will wait for a port to later gen or PC. Sad that this game doesn't get any PC love. Japanese devs are so far behind.
 
Whoops!~ ni no kuni got 9 from eurogamer.

now finding where i can buy this game.. hopefully there someone selling region cheap (forgot the number) :D
 
Am preorderig from psn tonight. I am not a fan of these battle system jrpgs, but I am hoping the Studio Ghibli charm will win me over. I am too huge a Miyazaki fan to not play this, but I know I get bored by "Battle Systems". I loved Ys Seven cos it had realtime battles.

i hope I am not wrong in buying this.
 
any one played it yet? Apparently there's fuckup in the psn version where are two files that need to be downloaded but only one is up on the store. So, we can't play yet. i have downloaded the 6gb file but there should be another 16gb file which isn't up on the store yet :-/

I noticed the download file size looked small when the demo version were 2.6 GB. By the way, a pretty horrible demo to say the least.

I want to buy it I just feel the day and age where a game should cost $60 is over.

*nod* *nod* not every game is worth $60. They are also talking about curbing used game sale in the future ?

I am waiting for my new monitor to arrive. Then I can start using my office PS3 again.

Yeah, that the purchase is linked directly to your account and thus can't activate anywhere else.

It will also stop the possibility of loaning games unless friends also loan your account.

I'm sure Ni No Kuni is worth the amount they ask, I am just being treated with all the sales at Steam and the general price of iOS games (I'm not talking about the $1 games but those that cost $10 and more).
