Ni no Kuni Official Thread

[Croyles]

I have a prediction on how the story is going to end based solely on something the mum says early on.

Near the beginning in Ding Dong Dell when Oliver goes to sleep in the inn while his clothes are being made, he has that dream were his mum tells him to find "him" someone who is important to both of them. I bet "him" is the other world version of Oliver, he's made up this whole thing in his mind to deal with the passing of his mum..which is why no one in the real world can see any magic. He won't be able to save his mum, but he will find himself and come to terms with his mother's death and be able to move on.

Just my speculation, but I still have a long way to go..

Just reached Drippy's home with all the fairies, which is awesome! Love the fairy version of all the shops

I had the exact same theory in the beginning.
This is all just stuff that happens at the start:

Or it is in fact real but he still needs to "find himself" in the other world. I also thought it could be his father. He is never mentioned and the fact the he is not around.
Not so sure how much I still believe that the other world isn't real.

Im now 37 hours into this game, and its still addicting, though the Derwin side quests piss me off

Amen to that, my brother.

In other news, Ni No Kuni tops the charts in the UK. The horrible state of the sales numbers in the UK charts means that it didn't necessarily sell all that many copies, though it still gives me hope that a JRPG beats FIFA and COD. Tidy en't it?

Yeah his Dad was my other though, but I thought it being himself would be better.

Installing.

[Fenix]

finally decided to give up on tales of graces f to start playing this, the damn game totally screwed up my sleeping schedule with its addictiveness.. lol

(Still plan to play tales of graces f, just before final boss and I want to do everything I possibly can..but im at 57 hours and still have a ton of inn requests and book stuff to get done before I need to start on future arc/zhonecage for the rest of the skits/sidequests. lol)

[Dave-The-Rave]

I had to stop playng it for the time being because it is so addictive..lol. In my final year of uni with a mountain of work due for the end of March.

Haha seems we are opposite because I have not had much time to play because I have been focusing on school work.

[Chille]

I think im getting close to the end of the game now, have about 5 side quests still to do, but im at 44 hours now think will take me 55 hours to finish this, then the post game content begins!

[Forcedme]

I had to force myself to stop playing for two days. The game's very addicting. I usually don't care to do side quests and the like, but this game's immediate rewards plus the simple fun of actually going out and doing the quests is too enticing. I love beefing up my monsters, collecting stamps, unlocking merit awards, and so forth. That the game is beautiful and continues to expand upon its variety doesn't help, either.

I've yet to feel the game become as gruelingly hard as some have said, however. The mechanics were initially clunky, but now I feel comfortable bossing around my entire team. I think the trick is to balance each character with a troupe of familiars whose strengths and weaknesses balance each other out. That way they can sufficiently heal/defend themselves and attack properly at the same time. The only time they fall is during boss fights, and I've learned that Oliver and his familiars alone can tackle a boss without help from the other two. That said, I might be over-powered due to stopping for every side quest and bounty hunt I come across. Plenty of monsters run away from me and I end up running them down just because they're there.

It done it without the help of supermarkets as well as not 1 of them stocked the game. It seemed someone somewhere messed up big time and the UK did not get anywhere near the amount of copies it should of got, The game finally got stocked properly at the end of this week.

I agree!

I FINALLY had the chance to sit down with the game today and I stood up 3 hours later and it felt like 20 minutes. Amazing game and I can't wait to get stuck into it.

Currently:

I've just gone back to the 'real' world to find the cat ><

Mine is Griffey, an absolute powerhouse.

[Chille]

[Fenix]

I thought familiars had favourite treats? How do you find that out, or is it trial and error?

[Kawaiius]

And another question..is there some form of quick travel that becomes available..i wanna start doing the errands and bounties but i dont wanna walk from city to city lol.

Also how do i get Griffey or Draggo..

It tells you in the wizards companion under the beastiary section on the species main pages

And yes eventually you get a teleport spell

Oh and make sure you find Horace in every town, as he unlocks the best spell in the game

Strange I looked in the companion and didnt find anything about treats, guess ill look again. I wish they sold the companion, I figured navigating it in game would be easier then it is (If you zoom in, going to next page zooms you out.. which adds a layer of annoyance to the whole thing)
