I've been posting about this game since it was first announced. I'm a crazy Ghibli fan who got a hard on when I heard they'd be doing the animation for an RPG. I have not had an overwelming experience with RPGs in a long long time and to hear somebody utter the phrase that describes that experience so well :"I didn't want it to end..." Well I'm just fucking smitten!

"I didn�??t want the game to end. It proved one of those special experiences �?? like I�??ve had with Final Fantasy VI, Wild Arms or Tales of Destiny in the past �?? where I didn�??t want to see the conclusion. I wanted it to keep going. That�??s because Ni No Kuni is just that special, and every RPG fan owes it to him or herself to pick it up and see why."

It both sounds and looks awesome. I've followed this a little bit but man it just, I like what I see. Also way to reference some of my favourite games in that quote; I guess I'm going to love Ni No Kuni :D

Tried the demo. While I love the visual I find the design almost too...childish? The game feels like it was designed for a 5 years old and I'm not sure how I'm gonna get over that. Guess I'll wait for more reviews.

Being designed for 5 year olds is a vast improvement over being designed for 13 year olds IMO like most jrpgs these days.

But seriously, I'm excited for this, but have a huge backlog before I can get to it. I'm dragging out Lost Odyssey as it is since I don't want it to end.

Limed for truth and Lost Odyssey was amazing! I got to the fourth disc and somehow was unable to play it and time got in the way. But I loved the shit ouf that game. It felt like the true FFX to me.

I played the demo, and it was a beautiful, beautiful game, but the gameplay bored the hell out of me. The story sounds interesting though, so I'll play it eventually. Just probably not until after some price drops.

Crono can cross dimensions too!

I was originally going to pick this up on launch day but my backlog grew insanely after Christmas so I'll probably wait til a price drop just because. Either way I'm still stupid excited for this game. So purdy.

Currently Playing: Dark Cloud 2: 3 hours.
Also Playing: CT, FF VI, Solatorobo, Secret of Mana, Halo 4.
Just Finished: Fable II: 7 hours.

Preordered it, which I don't usually do - usually like to get things cheaper. But I had $50 to spend on Amazon and couldn't think what else to get, and this way I get a preorder monster-thing :)

I dont mind the more child like setting and probably a breath of fresh air. And while I am always cool with the Dragon Age like setting the other genres try way too hard to target a mature audience (i.e Bro-dues and excessive profanity in gaming).

This game is doing the JRPG genre justice.

God this game is gorgeous. The music and the artwork are utterly mind-blowing. This is the kind of game I love to get lost in. Don't let the demo fool you, this game is DEEP. The amount of tutorials you have to go through is immense and I'm only starting to get a grasp for how much customization there is in the character system and how much depth there is in the battle system. I think I'm going to love this game.

Woe unto he who tries to be helpful, for upon him shall be lain the burdens of all.

I forgot to preorder from amazon so I grabbed my copy from best buy on my way home from my parents house.
