Ni no Kuni Official Thread

[Kakihara_Anjo]

Went to EB games today to get the game, and crazy enough only ONE person preordered the game (The guy who sold me it) - and so I apparently have 1 of the only two Ni No Kuni steelbooks available in my town lol

Hopefully other gamestops/EBgames had better sales. :/

There was a big stack of them at my gamestop. But I live downtown San Francisco, so there are a shit ton of people around.

I ended up pre-ordering the standard edition for £35.99. Last thing I need is another game but it just looks so sublime that I couldn't resist.

Doesn't turn up until next Friday but at least I know I'll be playing it by next weekend. Looking forward to it.

That is pretty awesome! I didn't want to spend too long on it though because I didn't want to spoil anything.

Wiz Ed's are going for nearly $400 on eBay now and Namco confirmed they won't make more. I'm sorry but if you can sell this thing and almost pay for a PS4 or Xbox 720 with that money, why not do it?

[ColinZeal]

Wow. Great game. Had it preordered from Zavvi.com but broke down mentally last night, bought US PSN codes and got the game off the us store.

Looks amazing. Can not wait to play the game some more tomorrow while not drunk. Can't even beat the dark woods battles... Eh?

I don't get it... You can buy them for the normal price on Amazon!

EDIT: Hmm apparently not anymore. I bought mine on amazon like 2 days ago. Now i'm wondering if I should really open it... Here in germany they are going at about 200 - 300 euros, so about 2 to 3 times the starting price.

in NA the namco site was the only place to get it, yet some ebay seller managed to get over 200 copies. Insane what the markup of limited editions are. Even used they'd probably go for at least double what you paid lol

4 more days til this baby is mine!

I'm 10 hours into tales of graces f I doubt I'll finish it in time

[Sylar]

I just looked on eBay and some of the wizard editions are going for £160-£200

[StevenW]

I'm having a tough time with some of the boss battles. Gone back to heading out into the desert to level up substantially before taking any more on

How far in are you to get to that point where grinding = a must?

[Dave-The-Rave]

I plan to grind from the beginning anyway as I like to feel powerful.

I'm about 15 hours in. I've done a fair bit of exploring though and most the side quests.

[Sufi]

Such beautiful animations.

[Typical guy]

I was lurking on CAG and saw this link posted. The B&W are the regular version. The color stuff is the Wizard's Edition. This makes me not even want to buy the regular version. It doesn't seem worth $60 next to the color art.

haha. Ah well looks like Ni No Kuni will have to wait an extra week or so... I don't really want to play 2 JRPGs at once ><

I wanted the fucking wizard edition but by the time I knew it existed it was IMPOSSIBLE to get. I'm still angry about it but not angry enough to pay $100+ extra for some greedy fuck who ONLY ordered it to sell

Amazon Germany has it.

[Croyles]

Amazon Germany has it.

I'm pretty sure they ran out a couple of days ago. I got one of the last ones. Also you have to remember that UK and Europe Wizard editions dont include the soundtrack, the artwork or the gold coin...
Other than that, the book is in english, just the box and the game box is in german (the game only has english and japanese voice acting anyway).

Now, now. Having good business sense is not the same as being greedy. For all we know most of these sellers bought the copies for themselves, realized the lucrative potential of re-selling, and decided to ship it off rather than keep it for sentimental reasons. I'm sure a lot of those early Wii debacles were due to early buyers genuinely interested in the Wii deciding they'd rather make a few extra hundred bucks and just wait to get their own console at a later date.

In the case of Ni No Kuni, I don't think anyone was expecting the Wizard edition to be this high in demand. Makes me wish I would have purchased one.

My desire to whinge and cry far outweighs any possible non greedy reason that may exist!

And you know what? That's completely understandable.

Sorry, man. Hope you get your hands on one. I'd say wait a few weeks (or months) for the hype to die down. You'll find some cheap copies on ebay, then, if you're still interested.

[Dave-The-Rave]

I'm pissed at myself. Had the opportunity to buy a Wizard's Edition, but thought it was too pricey. Then when I changed my mind a few days later it was sold out.

I just want the Wizard's Companion, don't want to constantly be flipping through the digital version of it.
