If only more of the cutscenes were of the Studio Ghibli animated variety; they definitely should have made the endgame scenes into anime at the very least.
I agree that they should have, but the reason Studio Ghibli only did this far was because the original Japanese DS game ended after you beat Shadar. The entire plot with Pea, the White Witch and the council of Zodiarchs was added for the PS3 version which is partly why the PS3 version came out 3 years after the DS version. Animating new cutscenes would have cost a lot more, on top of adding to the production time, sadly.
I think that it's a beautiful thing that the final animated cutscene of the ENTIRE Ni No Kuni Game is on a scene of the group walking and laughing together which fades away into a lovely, sunshine-filled sky. (ALthoughit's quite ironic considering the events that follow!)
Events that follow are some sort of add on content. The game really ends there actually. The rest is just more material for the PS3 (the original game being on Ninentendo DS).
Well, the artwork shown during Cassiopeia's flashbacks looked as if t was done by Studio Ghibli, but i's true, they should have more animated cutscenes for that segment.
Animes based on games usually suck and vice versa. Look at the Disgaea anime, Danganronpa anime, or Corpse Party for example. The games were far better and the animes sucked. The anime for Steins Gate was pretty good though but still the visual novel is arguably much better. All the little One Piece, DBZ, and Naruto games sucked too. I rather them not make an anime of this. Only reason the art style is like anime is because Studio Ghibli helped with it. I rather have a sequel than an anime of a game I already know the story to and that's exactly what we're getting
Psychopath well this game is heavly story drivven and the various boss fights and encounters could suit nicely into an animated series. I agree with you that this kind of things usually fails but if a good writer took care of it with a big studio (even though studio ghibli never did series) it could come out pretty good. That said there will never be an anime of this game
I see where you are coming from but look at the ninja storm and Xenoverse series of game based on Naruto and dragon ball they were fun games that were based on anime and they don't suck. I would personally like to see a studio Gbihli movie based the events on Ni No Kuni or they could do a 30 episode long anime series Ni No Kuni.
@@TheLatiosnlatias02 there was arguably a lot of effort put into localizing ni no kuni for english audiences. the dub isn't perfect, but i feel like it's not fair to hate on just because it's not the original.
@@TheLatiosnlatias02 So what about Skullgirl's Japanese dub? What about Ghost of Tsushima's Japanese dub? (reminder: both of these games were made by American game studio, and the Japanese dub was included for the North American release).
So you're saying Skullgirls' Japanese dub is superior despite the game was made in the US and it didn't get a Japanese dub till a few years later. So you're also saying that Ghost of Tsushima's Japanese dub is better then the original English voice?
Yeah it's a shame,I prefer the Japanese audio but since the subtitles are not accurate then I can't really tell what they saying...it's not like the English Dub is bad I actually liked Drippy's Welsh accent. Dub is actually pretty good just not as much gusto compared to Japanese voices.
This is the problem with many Japanese games as far as I know. Some people call this "Dub-lation" where the subtitles display only what they were dubbed in English and don't give a crap about players that play in Japanese audio. The group that translated the two NNK games went absolutely liberal because the original games were "too Japanese" from what I heard. So they had to make it more westernized for western gamers...which means they literally threw away 50%(?) of audiences that play in Japanese audio. This reminds me of FF7 Remake, where Cloud shouts out "Tifa!" many times in Japanese audio but the subs say something else lol. This kind of game is niche in the west I think, so I'm rather surprised that the translations had gone liberal all sky high.
I know that Studio Ghibli mainly did the bulk of the animation in the game but when I watched the credits I saw that OLM Inc was involved in the game. I know that Level 5 and OLM Inc have a relationship with each other being OLM Inc does Cutscenes in the games like Inazuma Eleven Danball Senki and Yokai Watch and they do the anime adaptations of them but how were they involved in this game being I thought Studio Ghibli did it mainly.
Motorville is most likely an idealized 1950s Detroit. The opening scene shows a marker for Interstate 75 which runs through Detroit and in the Japanese version, Motorville is called 'Hotroit'.
... I really dislike Americans, you really speak English and don't know England exists... Yall aren't the only country to speak English, the whole of Britain and Ireland exist.
I don't need to know Japanese to know the audio and subtitles don't match. What's the point of being able to put on the japanese audio just to have to read the crappy english version? Is it too much to expect them to respect the original creators of the game enough to give a proper translation?
Hi and thanks for the upload :) I was thinking of doing some gameplay with my daughter and was just curious if you had any issues regarding copyright strikes? I don't want to do a bunch of editing only to have a copyright issue. Thanks again!

Ikr
The only thing that could have made this game better would have been every cutscene made by Ghibli haha.
True, there’s no cutscenes past shadar which sucks.
Professor layton came close to that.

man after ding dong dell, the cutscenes just got so spaced lol
They really did...
Studio Ghibli will always have a very special place in my heart for making my childhood feel so magical.
Be cool if they actually make a movie of this
I don't see why not, bring the company out of hiatus.
Josh P good news! The movie/anime is in production right now
@@coffeelink943 Nah... The movie is a very different one. Not even close to 2nd game, nor 1st.
Well... Lol
Netflix?
I wish there was a whole movie made out of this game~ It's sooo good
toads
There is one but it’s kinda bad
Prince Marcassin looks like Howl from the Studio Ghibli movie Howl's Moving Castle.
Especially with him at the beginning also being ashamed of his looks without the helmet
I cry every time I see Oliver cry it’s contagious
I like how all the characters were designed in ghibli style before they transitioned to 3-D
Love these cutscenes, just wish we got one at the ending. Felt odd that it was just a regular cutscene
I wish there was more, these cutscenes are beautiful.
Studio Ghibli really should make this game into a full film
Yes!
16:25 This part made me cry when I saw it
Well, the artwork shown during Cassiopeia's flashbacks looked as if t was done by Studio Ghibli, but i's true, they should have more animated cutscenes for that segment.
I wish ni no kuni had a actual anime. :(
Agreed!

Ni No Kuni.
Cosmoem they actually are right now. Warner bros and Level 5 studio have made partnership
IMAGINE IF ALL THE CUTSCENES OR DIALOGUE ARE ANIME THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN THE ULTIMATE GAME
Am I the only one losing it at how the cat sounds at about 5:00 because holy shit, I can’t take that scene seriously because of it.
How is that not an anime. That was amazing
14:43 Howl is that you?
Aenwyrm "I give up, I see no point in living if I can't be beautiful."😂
Aenwyrm a
Im just gonna call him Howl anyways.
0:57 Marnie!
@@retroand Damn, this movie really related to Ghibli movies. Love them
this game never fails to make me cry
This is like watching a real animation movie just like one of Hayao Miyazaki Masterpieces and the Ghibi studios at the same time!
You can't forget the opening scene
I like the Japanese with english subs better then plain English audio
Yeah I can't stand dubs
I actually liked the dubbing for this game.
@@TheLatiosnlatias02 there was arguably a lot of effort put into localizing ni no kuni for english audiences. the dub isn't perfect, but i feel like it's not fair to hate on just because it's not the original.

I think the whole thing with the Witch and her curse was added for the PS3 version, since there's no more cutscene after Shadar's defeat.
Yeah the only thing they added that might be from Studio Ghibli was Cassiopeias story
the subtitles aren't even accurate. they're just a transcript of the english dub. notice how "Philip" is actually called Mark in Japanese.
Yeah it's a shame,I prefer the Japanese audio but since the subtitles are not accurate then I can't really tell what they saying...it's not like the English Dub is bad I actually liked Drippy's Welsh accent.
Dub is actually pretty good just not as much gusto compared to Japanese voices.
Yeah near the end Swaine says are you ok in Japanese but the subtitles say “Have a nice nap?”
Spanish subtitles are worse.
I mean those subtitle is supposed to shown on dub and not sub, and the game will not change the name of the character either way.
This is the problem with many Japanese games as far as I know. Some people call this "Dub-lation" where the subtitles display only what they were dubbed in English and don't give a crap about players that play in Japanese audio.

14:43 ugly?? you're *BEAUTIFUL*
Pretty sad they didnt animated the Shadar final scene.
Cant wait for ni no kuni 3
It's such a beautiful story :')

briansivley2001 well they probalby did the ingame animated cutscenes
In the last cutscene he still has King Tom's wand in his Wand-Holder-Thing
NINO KUNI = CROSS WORLD!!! 2022..press like!!
thank you
sad this dosnt have a movie
I wish Studio Ghibli made a movie of this game.
Prince Marcassin reminds me of a younger Howl from Howl's Moving Castle
This desperately needs to be an anime short-series. Like one of those 10-15 episode series. The movie on Netflix was a disappointment.
Yes!!!
Was that scene of Oliver entering Ni No Kuni cut out from the PS3 version?
It was for trailer purpose only
I wish this video had English voices
i wonder why this 8:02 isnt in the ps3 game
Was replaced by the stampede scene. But the original Ghibli one is far better.
everything's fault is drippy and one of the fault is that boi
I just caught up with where these cutscenes left off and, dang.
Does "Epilogue" translate to "another game entirely" in Japan?
Geez christ, the sub titles are way off.
What the Japanese voice actors are saying is a bit different.
Ni No KUNIIII
Like usual, ever japanese young boy is voiced by a young girl
That's it mun
Where exactly IS Motorville? Since the sign writing is in English I assume it it in America? Or Canada because everyone is so nice ;)
Motorville is most likely an idealized 1950s Detroit. The opening scene shows a marker for Interstate 75 which runs through Detroit and in the Japanese version, Motorville is called 'Hotroit'.

Pause at 15:28 i got him dabbing
Cool, it remind me of brave story. Plot is really samiller with their own story.
10:48 had me rolling ROFL
10:48
Does anyone know a Cat King voice actor?
Norito Yashima
'Ni' means 2 (two) in japanese. And 'San' is 3 (three)
Philip seiyuu is usopp from one piece
I don't need to know Japanese to know the audio and subtitles don't match. What's the point of being able to put on the japanese audio just to have to read the crappy english version? Is it too much to expect them to respect the original creators of the game enough to give a proper translation?
The description is so outdated, it stopped at PS3 lol
I saw soska
Why change the freakin names in English? Who makes these stupid decisions?
is america
The city's townsfolk are British.
Oh...
I knew that, but I didn't think it was the joke.
And it's... not really funny.
Erm... What exactly is San no Kuni ?
So Harry Potter it is
If this does take place in England why is everyone speaking Japanese :)
im sooo late, but its bc its a jrpg (japanese rpg)
I hate when every anime including Ghibli's ones being dubbed
Ni no Kuni is overrated. Why do people keep telling me it's better there? What's wrong with San no Kuni?
Yeah the cross worlds ruined this cool series. It deserves way better than crypto nonsense shoved into it.
