I love the first ni no kuni. I preordered the collectors edition of ni no kuni 2 and am patiently waiting for it to arrive. Can't wait to open it and see all the cool stuff that is in it for myself. I am a huge fan of jrpgs myself.
A beautifully packaged collector's edition, dude. Has a ton of content. Really wanna play Revenant Kingdom whenever I get through the first game. Did you ever genuinely love a game and just never get back to finish it? Happened me with that.
I'm glad you open your collectors editions. I never saw the point of ordering and paying that much for these things if you aren't going to enjoy them. I understand this was sent to you, but still. Thank you for the unboxing. I'm even more excited for this thing to arrive now.
I just saw this Collector's Edition at my Gamestop, it was on clearance for $99.99. Is it worth getting if there are only 25,000 out there in the world? Any advise?
I know the first one isn't that old but seeing the artwork brings back some memories,that was the last time I was emotionally invested in a videogame,I miss oliver and dippy de vito already.
MonsterKat It doesn’t suck in most people’s opinions. Great, great game in my view and think most people feel the same. Still- can’t please them all....
I had this pre ordered but i cancelled earlier today and I'm kind of glad after seeing this video. I cannot wait for this game but the contents of this collection are not worth 200 dollars. I just couldn't justify the money spent on this one.. Especially since I'll be buying the game on PC and the collector's edition was console only.
I actually preordered again but just the premium edition this time lol.. I'm a sucker for steel books. Still... so much cheaper than the collectors edition and all I'm missing out on is the making of dvd, art book, rotating diorama, and plush.
Order it from Best Buy with a Game's Club membership and it will knock it down to $149.99. It alone will pay for the 2 year $30 membership. However, it doesn't seem as scarce as the original so you could probably wait alittle bit.
I'm hesitant to try this one. I wanted to love the first one but the battle system wasn't that great to me. I ended up not even finishing it. Maybe I should go back and try it again.
To be honest, no disrespect to anyone. US version looks kinda plastic and cheap compared to EU kings edition. US version have like that cheap looking plastic diorama, when EU version have really beatiful glass snowball style music diorama, a vinyl, hard cover art book, not that slippery sloppery one. Overall it feels and looks much more detailed than US version.
Yeah the King's edition is so much better. Glad I have an import pre-ordered. It's really beautiful compared to the US. I still have it pre-ordered anyway for collection reasons but used my GCU discount for it.
Like I said, Kings Edition includes, HARDCOVER art book, VINYL, a beatiful looking snowglobe rotating musicbox all those are much more quality stuff. US Edition includes slipply sloppy cover art book, toys r'us cheap looking rotating toy, CD soundtrack. Cheap version witch cost more money.
Great Video man! But the EU Version of this Box is better then the US Version in my opinion. Have Fun with the Game Dude. I have started it this evening. Greets from germany
I have a question! So I bought the premium edition & wanted 2 put songs into my phone but ITunes says theirs only 4 songs onto the CD! Does anyone know if theirs only 4 songs or what?!? I trying looking this up but no answer!!
Level 5 apparently kept a few Ghibli staff as advisors but my main complaint from the first game was the lack of fully drawn Ghibli scenes alongside the combat handholding dunno.
Love your Vids. The Video with your Mom was so nice :) May i ask how in that Time in your Life you still find the Time and Motivation to play this Big RPGs? All the best
So I didn't play Ni No Kuni yet (I own it but never got to it). Is Ni No Kuni II a direct sequel or is it more like Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy where it's a brand new story and I could grab this and start it before finishing the first one?
back in the day? it feels like just 4 or 5 years ago! I wish I had finished the first one, the music is great too! i'm a big fan of studio ghibli work and level 5 does great work too!!
No, they've changed the battle system. it's not turn based anymore, everything is real time and probably more accessible; If you're unsure about it just watch some gameplay footage.
This is one impressive collectors edition! However I still think the King's Edition looks better. -> A copy of the game -> Evolutions of a King diorama figure music box (20cm Tall) -> Exclusive Steelbook Case -> Season Pass -> Exclusive making-of Blu-ray disc -> Exclusive 148 page Artbook -> Joe Hisaishi composed theme vinyl record You can see an unboxing video done by YOGSCAST Martyn if you're interested in seeing what it's like.
Shadow's Insomniacs - i like the vinyl with all the artwork on both sides, however I like the diarama we get in the US version. Plus, I am a sucker for making of documentaries/behind the scenes videos. I just hope it is a couple of hours long unlike some that are barely 25 minutes.
Dammit Johnny I had no idea what Ni No Kuni was until I watched this video and now I ordered the first game and the King's Edition... Like I don't have a shitload of games I still need to play LOL
I bought Ni no Kuni because i love Ghibli, but I just couldn't sink my teeth into it. Then again i'm not all that fond of RPGs apart from TTYD so i guess i only have myself to blame
Ryuko Chan! Yeah I'm with you on that- i heard Miyazaki didn't like games because of how the Nausicaa games came out, or atleast he just doesn't like games in general.
I'm still thinking about keeping my preorder of the Premium edition, i love steelbooks and this one looks great, but it's a bit pricey and i don't have time to play it yet, hell i have the original Ni no Kuni still pending.
still level 5?
how much XP do they need to level up as a game developer?
Hayato JP They're gonna need to take care of a few King Metal Slimes and Toko Toko's!
I'm just here for the knife skills.
It be at 1:00 if anyone looking for it!
You had that press copy weeks ago, we know you have been playing it Johnny.
He probably filmed this when he got it and had to sit on the video.
So lucky you got this... and EARLY!! I'm jealous haha. Patiently waiting for mine to arrive. Thanks for the unboxing video, Johnny!
I was so pissed when they cancelled my pre order of the Wizards Edition.
Looks very different to the "Kings Edition" here in the UK but I'm envious all the same :) I really need to sit down and play both of them soon!
I am kinda jealous that the Kings Edition of UK is better after my friend showed me what it has compared to the North American Edition.
Yeah the Kings edition look so much better I'm tempted to buy import but I gotta save my money lol
Yeah we got a wind-up music box snow globe thingy and a vinyl with the King's Edition here in Europe.. Both editions are really beautiful!
I love the first ni no kuni. I preordered the collectors edition of ni no kuni 2 and am patiently waiting for it to arrive. Can't wait to open it and see all the cool stuff that is in it for myself. I am a huge fan of jrpgs myself.
What about the Nintendo DS game Johnny have u played that
A beautifully packaged collector's edition, dude. Has a ton of content. Really wanna play Revenant Kingdom whenever I get through the first game. Did you ever genuinely love a game and just never get back to finish it? Happened me with that.
You're an inspiration Johnny. Never stop being you!!
Wow man that’s awesome stuff and you have ni no kuni 1 collectors edition too 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 cheers from Mexico
are you still streaming today? Can't find the video you posted about it
I'm glad you open your collectors editions. I never saw the point of ordering and paying that much for these things if you aren't going to enjoy them. I understand this was sent to you, but still. Thank you for the unboxing. I'm even more excited for this thing to arrive now.
That's not just a piece of cardboard. That's collector's-edition cardboard! I hope you have a great time with the game.
I just saw this Collector's Edition at my Gamestop, it was on clearance for $99.99. Is it worth getting if there are only 25,000 out there in the world? Any advise?
I just got mine yesterday for $40 on ebay
That is incredible! Enjoy!
Love your videos! Keep it up! Was on the fence about this CE but will definitely buy it now.
I know the first one isn't that old but seeing the artwork brings back some memories,that was the last time I was emotionally invested in a videogame,I miss oliver and dippy de vito already.
Damn I’m so jealous! I absolutely loved the original Ni no Kuni and I’m beyond stoked for this one. Can’t wait for next Friday!
Awesome! I’ve ordered this! Can’t wait to get it :)
Looks awesome Johnny! I'm reviewing the game now as well and I still might need to pick up the collectors edition! Cheers!
Lets hope Bandai Namco does Metroid Prime justice. :)
bandai namco is working on metroid prime? what?
Dickens Dumont Bandai Namco Singapore. They worked on star wars 1313 before EA canceled it
dmace81 I feel like they will do it justice 🙂
Jeremy Seal Absolutely not. Sami’s Returns was a great game.
MonsterKat It doesn’t suck in most people’s opinions. Great, great game in my view and think most people feel the same. Still- can’t please them all....
I will be picking up my collectors edition tomorrow. I was wondering, doesn't it also come with a dlc code to redeem the season pass?
3:48 John you should be careful cutting like that. Might wanna get your eye a bit closer next time to make sure the cut is a straight as possible
Where is the number? I looked in the diorama, the box, the papercraft. I can't find it.
This will be my weekend can’t wait!
Dude, it was badass when you pulled out the butterfly knife. Totally caught me off guard haha. Great stuff.
The collectors edition pre order seems to be available again on Canadian Amazon just a heads up :)
I can't wait for my collector's edition to come. Also can't wait for the UK one to come too. I spent way to much on this one game lol
I love this collector's edition. Really brings the game to life. Can't wait to get my hands on this game I have been waiting since the first game!
What watch are you wearing? look very nice
Dude your the ultimate game pusher
He's the man!!!
Is that something good?
Retro8bit total legend
Lmix211 yeah he knows good games lol
Mr. Stratocaster pretty much agree with his picks except Skyrim and Last of Us couldn't stand the gameplay on either.
Can't wait to see your first impression vid
sorry to ask, is the collection edition have Japanese Voice can choice?
It includes the Season Pass??
I had this pre ordered but i cancelled earlier today and I'm kind of glad after seeing this video. I cannot wait for this game but the contents of this collection are not worth 200 dollars. I just couldn't justify the money spent on this one.. Especially since I'll be buying the game on PC and the collector's edition was console only.
I actually preordered again but just the premium edition this time lol.. I'm a sucker for steel books. Still... so much cheaper than the collectors edition and all I'm missing out on is the making of dvd, art book, rotating diorama, and plush.
It's actually 259.96 cdn before tax. Add tax and its 300$ just for this. One of the worst CE's value wise imo.
Order it from Best Buy with a Game's Club membership and it will knock it down to $149.99. It alone will pay for the 2 year $30 membership. However, it doesn't seem as scarce as the original so you could probably wait alittle bit.
Yeah I noticed Europe's collectors edition too and was really pissed I couldn't get it back when it was first announced. It's definitely way cooler.
Doesn't that also mean you still have to buy the PC version as well?
Also, If you pre-ordered from the Bandai Namco store, shouldn’t you have gotten the cloth world map?
That’s why I preordered from them.
The European special edition is totally different. But which is best?
I'm hesitant to try this one. I wanted to love the first one but the battle system wasn't that great to me. I ended up not even finishing it. Maybe I should go back and try it again.
My friend, I really enjoy this episode all the best
Ahhh this is a lush edition. Great unboxing Johnny
TheGebs24 the European special edition is totally different.
Looking forward to hear your opinion about the game
To be honest, no disrespect to anyone. US version looks kinda plastic and cheap compared to EU kings edition. US version have like that cheap looking plastic diorama, when EU version have really beatiful glass snowball style music diorama, a vinyl, hard cover art book, not that slippery sloppery one.

yup this is trash compared to the King edition
Yeah the King's edition is so much better. Glad I have an import pre-ordered. It's really beautiful compared to the US. I still have it pre-ordered anyway for collection reasons but used my GCU discount for it.
Like I said, Kings Edition includes, HARDCOVER art book, VINYL, a beatiful looking snowglobe rotating musicbox all those are much more quality stuff. US Edition includes slipply sloppy cover art book, toys r'us cheap looking rotating toy, CD soundtrack. Cheap version witch cost more money.
Rpglovertash I just did an unboxing video of the Kings Edition...definitely a way more premium look and feel to it than this one!
Yeah I know. We in the US have been getting Crap collectors editions for the last couple of year.... 💩
I preordered this! But now you’re making me drool!
Someone please tell me. Did this come with the Cat Claw and Dragon Tooth swords?!
How am I supposed to contain my excitement for this game when I see this video! 3/23 can't come soon enough!
does the Dragon Tooth's Sword DLC CODES is in separate pamphlet inside the game box/case or is it on a separate source like email or receipt ???
This edition is so amazing!!!! love this!!!!!!!
Great Video man! But the EU Version of this Box is better then the US Version in my opinion. Have Fun with the Game Dude. I have started it this evening.
Greets from germany
I'm wondering if I get the US premium edition if I get that same steel book or if its a different steel book with different art on it.
So cool!! I pre-ordered the Premium Edition, can’t wait to dive in next week!
always love to see how u use that knife, so cool
Says available for pre order on Amazon.ca
Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the game and looking forward to playing this one next week.
i still need to experience the first one so stoked for these very cool
It looks so beautiful!! I loved the first game so much. Really looking forward to this one.
One of the coolest collectors editions I've seen! So jelly.
AMAZING!!! I can’t wait to play this.
Looking forward to your thoughts. Still have not beaten the first one (4 years in). Will get this when it is around 20 CAD.
Ni No Kuni 1 was amazing and I enjoyed everything about it. Can't wait to try the sequel! You're so lucky you get to play it early!
Awesome contents in that box!
Man just look at that beautiful box of pure art! Awesome!
I have a question! So I bought the premium edition & wanted 2 put songs into my phone but ITunes says theirs only 4 songs onto the CD! Does anyone know if theirs only 4 songs or what?!? I trying looking this up but no answer!!
Want this collector's edition so bad but $200 is steeeeeep. Worth it?
Level 5 apparently kept a few Ghibli staff as advisors but my main complaint from the first game was the lack of fully drawn Ghibli scenes alongside the combat handholding dunno.
Is it necessary to play the first ni no kuni to play the 2nd
Dude what's up with all the videos lately? I LOVE IT!
Love your Vids. The Video with your Mom was so nice :)
May i ask how in that Time in your Life you still find the Time and Motivation to play this Big RPGs?
All the best
Do you have to play the first game to be able to enjoy the story in this one? I don't have a PS3 unfortunately.
psychoflashdrive no, separate story and characters
Theirs 2 different collector editions! Pal and NTSC are very different
Just purchased the collectors edition for $67 🙂 looking forward to getting it.
Ive been asking this for three times now when r u going to make that Xenoblade chronicles 2 review?
So I didn't play Ni No Kuni yet (I own it but never got to it). Is Ni No Kuni II a direct sequel or is it more like Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy where it's a brand new story and I could grab this and start it before finishing the first one?
Darnell5000 not direct sequel. So like ff story is independent from 1. Its just the same world is the only tie to the previous game.
Cool, thanks.
back in the day? it feels like just 4 or 5 years ago! I wish I had finished the first one, the music is great too! i'm a big fan of studio ghibli work and level 5 does great work too!!
One of the greatest underrated games of all time, amazing edition, thanks
I love editions with big books in them, OMG
Is the battle system the same as 1 ?
I struggled with part 1 because of the battle system and never finished it.
No, they've changed the battle system. it's not turn based anymore, everything is real time and probably more accessible;
If you're unsure about it just watch some gameplay footage.
so jealous what an awesome collectors edition!
Ohh mann know no one is going to watch my unboxing. lol. Im glad you got it , Im might call you later to see how your liking it.
This is probably the best collectors edition to date! You get a lot for your money!
That 3d paper craft thing is such a pain in the ass to put together.
I need to have that dragon ball shirt!!!! Where can I find one?
This is one impressive collectors edition! However I still think the King's Edition looks better.
-> A copy of the game
-> Evolutions of a King diorama figure music box (20cm Tall)
-> Exclusive Steelbook Case
-> Season Pass
-> Exclusive making-of Blu-ray disc
-> Exclusive 148 page Artbook
-> Joe Hisaishi composed theme vinyl record
You can see an unboxing video done by YOGSCAST Martyn if you're interested in seeing what it's like.
Shadow's Insomniacs - i like the vinyl with all the artwork on both sides, however I like the diarama we get in the US version. Plus, I am a sucker for making of documentaries/behind the scenes videos. I just hope it is a couple of hours long unlike some that are barely 25 minutes.
Where's the stream fam!
EU collector edition is more beautyfull
Dammit Johnny I had no idea what Ni No Kuni was until I watched this video and now I ordered the first game and the King's Edition... Like I don't have a shitload of games I still need to play LOL
When is this coming out?
scourdx next friday
This is so dope. If I had the money I would have gotten it. I just got the Digital Deluxe edition.
Does PC come with a physical release?
4Horsemen of The Apocalypse no, just digital
not a chance... only the odd indi game does and often times the box is empty with a download code lol...
That's why I hate most PC games, DRM is just too much on PC, can't re-sell games or barrow games to anyone for more than a few times.
That plushie looks cheaper than a carnival prize
triple triple triple triple thumbs up..... yeah... nino kuni is back
I love the original, looking forward to part II.
I love the EU edition as the music box is beautiful.
Very impressive your imported Japanese edition.
Please enjoy the sequel.
Can't wait for this game! I put so many hours into the first one.
Its available on Amazon canada as of right this minute and there is no way its worth 259 bucks
I bought Ni no Kuni because i love Ghibli, but I just couldn't sink my teeth into it.
Then again i'm not all that fond of RPGs apart from TTYD so i guess i only have myself to blame
Try Persona 5
What's TTYD?
Ryuko Chan! Yeah I'm with you on that- i heard Miyazaki didn't like games because of how the Nausicaa games came out, or atleast he just doesn't like games in general.
Ryuko Chan! And yeah, Paper Mario TTYD :)
Damn.. now I can't wait to get mine!
I know they've not put anything about nnk1 but i kinda really want Drippy to still be in it.
Oh, this knife is from another world
I'm still thinking about keeping my preorder of the Premium edition, i love steelbooks and this one looks great, but it's a bit pricey and i don't have time to play it yet, hell i have the original Ni no Kuni still pending.
