Hello there, you've caught me researching a game on this UA-cam channel that I bought specifically because of the enthusiastic recommendation on this same UA-cam channel.
i just played and beat persona 5. I was never really a JRPG fan. But I can now safely say that after beating P5, I am now a HUGE JRPG fan!😍🤓
Opposite for me. I couldn't finish it, as it was ridiculously grindy and I remembered how much I hate turn based JRPG combat. This game looks interesting though.
@@carpetclimber4027 You really don't have to grind in P5, I ended up using Cerberus as my end game Persona (really under leveled) and if you don't like grinding maybe JRPG's aren't for you because most of them are just that, it's the reason I hated the first Ni No Kuni.
same here but i am become a huge jrpg fan after beat persona 4 not 5
If you've only played Persona 5, you cannot be called a JRPG fan and ESPECIALLY not a Persona fan.
Dude. Exactly the same!
I'm not sure what to think about this now, after learning there will be no familiars. I'm still in love with Ni No Kuni, but I think a lot of people feel the same when I say that while they were only a part of an overall masterpiece, the familiars themselves and the game play that came with them were fantastic.
The way that cape moves: it's such a simple touch, but oh my goodness does it look good. I wanna get this just for that wavy cape.
Hearing Hollie say 'Higgledies' is pure magic XD
Level 5 is an amazing company. They made the super underrated game rogue galaxy. Just before the PS2 moved to PS3. I can see they are both visually similar
Matthew Norzan I played it a long time ago and just got it one my ps4 and it brings back such good memories
Dark Cloud 2 was another Level 5 gem. Wasn't exactly underrated like rogue galaxy was but still kinda under the radar. Dragon Quest 8 was another.
Rogue galaxy and dark cloud dark4 chronicle amazing games
i enjoyed white knight chronicles
Matthew Norzan this or kingdom hearts remix
Rest In Peace all my little monsters from game one
Kinda sad they did not bring that mechanic back
TOTALLY AGREE they need to make more of this kind of game. there like super rare
5 years late but I’m definitely picking this up for the next game!
Trying to get into JRPGs as I love the art style.
Please remaster the first one for ps4!!!
@@mrmagoo-i2l I just finished rev kingdom 15mins ago and i havent felt this way for a game in along time, the story really came into its own in the end, and the gameplay is so satisfying, deep, varied, just everything about this game really blew me away. granted i played ver 3.00 on hard mode so the complaints about it being too easy were lost on me. anyways, with that rant outta the way, im very truly considering getting a one month subscription to psnow just to play wrath of the white witch.
@matt odlum please do play the first game... It's charming as hell.. if you enjoy turn based combat then even better. I'm downloading number 2 now as I've had my eye on it for a while.
They just did.
Siri Cortana yep
As you might already know, the remaster will be released on 09/20/19. Have fun!
After hearing you talk about this game so many times for so long I finally picked it up. Now I’m upset I waited so long. This game is amazing!!
Awesome review. Thank you for going in depth. Not the biggest RPJ fan but this game looks & plays beautifully. Definitely getting this game now that it's on sale.
It is good would recommend
I still need to play the first one..
TheGamer2323 Same
im playing it now....its great man...i say its even worth getting a ps3 for it.... :)
TheGamer2323 I can tell you it's a lot more original than this. Everything has to be real time nowadays. It's annoying
GAMER! :D
If only there was a Remaster :(
ALL ABOARD! I'm so keen for this, the first game was like a hidden gem. Well, that or a shot of pure nostalgia.
I think the only jrpg i've really played was Kh 1,2 and 3 but i'm an fan just because of Rob, the way he talks about jrpgs and games in general it makes me love them more.
bring the first one to PS4
sergio garcia c. its coming soon!
Finally it’s available
@@holy9781 Oliver in 4k ;)
I like it when you guys give a tour around the Sky Pirate base!
I'm so stoked to see a lot of people there and surprised that there's a little boy who is eagered to fly when he gets older!
Best video ever! :)
#301club! Great to see the JRPG fans at PS Access getting to gush about something they love. And no one blames you; game looks awesome!
Bought this last week, it was on sale; I am loving it
More Nintendo than Nintendo.
Glad Level 5 went forward and made a sequel. Ni no Kuni fills out the ps4 portfolio nicely.
Hollie should star as the new Welsh side character.
i just found this video and im finding it funny since this is one of daves 3 platinum trophies. but man do i miss holly as well
ffxv blended my western needs with japanese culture, I loved it
it was wonderful.
real time combat of nino kuni 2 is aweosome
A friend of mine is playing Persona 5 as his first JRPG and he is enjoying it. I will send him this video now. I want to convince him to get this once it's released.
wish me luck.
prohelling god speed
Good luck
Correction to the higgs the colors represent elements. The green are for wind magic and everyone element has at least 1 healing higg down the road
The game almost lost me when you said Ghibli is not involved in part 2. But then you said, Hisaishi-san is going to deliver the soundtrack and now it's a must have for me. I saw Joe Hisaishi in Paris last month and I never cried so much during a live concert. His music is just incredibly beautiful.
That's absolutely mental regarding the voice localisation! Rhodri Gilbert, the comedian, voiced Drippy.
this is why i wish pokemon was on ps4 and xbox can you imagine pokemon with this style of art and gameplay. that be crazy!!
i don't need reasons to play this masterpiece. Im in love with the first game, it's my favorite game on ps3 and one of favorites of all time. I got platinum and i want to get 100% completition in this one! im ready! :P
I love the first game too........which is why this looks so disappointing. no familiars, different battle sytem, chibi overworld; no thanks.
Ni no kuni 1 was great. I got stuck on the genie boss and didnt come back to it again lol only reached level 20. Need to get back into that long as good games stop flooding the market🙄
Sometimes I just feel like playing something totally different to the Western games I play so often. The Last Guardian was my GOTY of 2016, and Ni No Kuni 2 is very high on my most wanted list even though I'm not a big JRPG fan at all...
I love hearing Rob and Hollie drool at the mouth over JRPG goodness
I was in need of a fun rpg button masher and so far a solid game and I got it for under 20
I was a green eyed xbox scrub when the 1st game was released, the first lets play i tuned into. Really hyped for this 1, so much so im picking up southpark after.
i'm 3 years late but it's pretty good so far.
Thank you so much for reccomending this to me. About 80% to platinum so far and ill be genuinely upset when i finish it. Just got some skirmishes and higgledy stones to clear. After that ill be trying persona 5 also on your reccomendation
Looks a lot like Tales of Symphonia from the GameCube days; as far as combat and controls (including the world map)
Very likely that this the Dark Cloud 3 we have been waiting for
I bought a PS3 yesterday just to play the first one! I can't believe I missed it. I'm a 36 year old hard core FPS gamer and I feel like a 16 year old again looking forward to FF7. I don't know why but I'm more excited for Ni No Kuni 2 than I am for any other game of 2018.
With the removal of the familiars, what makes this game different from tales of series games?
to me at a first game it reminds me of "Tales of Ni No Kuni" maybe those pikman will be an interesting part of combat but with what I've seen it looks like they're just there not doing much at all
Oh my goodness! As I have been playing it, that is the feeling I was getting. It feels like a Tales of game.
^ I can say now that after playing it that it is similar...but the battles have alot of extras like the higglies (with each having their own skills) and you can roll...Ni no has HUGE bosses....every character has a ranged attack....you can charge it...and the spells too...though Im basing this off of only playing Berseria...in a Ni no dungeon the monsters are already on the field no loading... there's Kingdom building and mini RTS army battles which Tales doesn't have...so to me the battles are like Tales but also have their own feel/originality...all in all Im enjoying it
The art style and the fact that this game isn't likely to be a massive deconstruction of traditional gaming/fantasy tropes.
I would have said that the Higgldie (sp?), but they kinda remind me of a Pikmin-oriented version of Tales of the Abyss' Field of Fonons mechanic.
I really hope they bring the 2nd one to the switch as well. I bought the first one on my switch at game stop on Friday. And i have put 19 hours in so far. MY FAVORITE GAME in years
I’m not a big fan of JRPGs but I was at Best Buy one day. I had a $10 reward certificate and was looking for a new game. I have over 150 in my collection already so it’s hard to find new ones to buy. I read reviews on my phone and they were quite good so I bought it. It was $19.99 plus I had my certificate and my gamers club so I paid $6.36. Not bad
when i whach your shows they make me feel like a kid again, love your shows and carnt wait for this game, loved the first nino kuni, gonna enjoy this one to, keep up the good work your all nice to listen to and whach...
I am like Dave. My name is Dave Jackson also....So will be playing this, Rob and Hollie
Rob/Hollie, great video! I really want to get this game as it looks amazing! Do you suggest me picking up the first one or is this a completely new story (like the FInal fantasy format)??? #playstationaccess
I'm not sure if I got lucky and bought and English copy, but over here in the states, we got a Welsh Drippy too.
The game feels like you are playing in a world of studios ghibli anime. And is one of the reason i love the game.
Wait, Ni no Kuni was hard? That's news to me! Only thing that really got difficult was that if you didn't do too many of the bulletin board quests, the bosses about 30 hours in would be tougher. The game only ever boiled down to spamming familiars, spamming your high-level magic, and then regenerating your magic to repeat the high-level magic spam.
That's part of the reason I'm glad the familiars are gone, they were fun, but they felt tacked-on, and took away from what could've been much better combat mechanics. NnK 2 looks like a huge improvement in this regard.
If any game needs an upscale and porting to ps4 its ni no kuni 1. But i am looking really forward to this, minus the chibi style characters on the overworld. ( never liked the big head look).
Oh I miss Holly, she's the reason I bought this game :(
while im sad that its not a continuation of Oliver's and his friends story im so exicited to see what new things could possibly be in this
im scratching my head at why some people are turned away from this game for having smol characters on the overworld
like wat, you're supposed to be small, it's an overworld
i can think of a million other things japanese games do that drive me nuts but this one at least seems logical
1) Because Ni No Kuni is the greatest game ever made.
2)That is all
The 1st one was art. I know it's gonna be a lot different, but can't wait to play this!
They got rid of familiars :(! That was what I loved about the first game
Indeed! -.- those new "guys" look like pikmen to me
same, not sure if I'm going to get this now. Also I've not even played the game yet and I'm sick of hearing the main character say "I'm counting on you" I think I'd probably rage quit just from that lol
Jamie Baxter iii
Thay are replace by elementals or higgldees!
Jamie Baxter ;-;
I'm going to give it a try when it's released. Haven't played JRPGs in a while.
The first one was really hard, like Rob said, I'm looking forward to this one though, should be a great game, keep up the good work!
The main story enemy’s where decently challenging but nothing I would call really hard and the optional bosses where insultingly easy. The tournaments in the temple of trials where challenging. Not gone lie.
Drippy was my favorite in Ni No Kuni and I'm super hyped for this game
I cannot wait!
I just cant wait, fan of jrpg, anime and manga this hit all the right mark
Cannot wait for january! My birthday month too
The higgledees are so cute! They remind me of Pikmin. The game looks really nice and I can't wait to play it after I finish Ni No Kuni Wraith of the White Witch
I just figured out that if you charge your spells in higgle circle it gets buffed lolz...... and u can upgrade it in town spellcaster shack
so we have basically gone from pokemon to pikmin
seriously wtf
Pretty much
Not exactly an 100% original franchise is it
Great game - loved playing it, just wish it was a bit more challenging. Elements, status effects etc don’t ever seem to come into play and battles never seem to need much strategy or different tactics.
I cannot wait for this game!
It would make the year if they released the first one for PS4!
The only things which lets this game down and in a way spoils it which could have been taken away in the space of it being pushed back three times, is the constant need to put in real life mobile apps into a JRPG. For a start, Leafbook... I don't see why we need a Facebook type thing in it.
The chibi skirmishes which is pretty much clash of clans, kingdom builder which is like any other mobile strategy game where you build a kingdom and maintain it. Also the puzzle floors where you have to solve the riddles with the platform steps disappearing, there are also many mobile phone puzzle games like that too.
The Higgledies are cute yes, but there is no need for them to be in the game, you don't even need them in combat with you as the battles are way too easy, especially as Evan has his wand which fires out elemental attacks at the enemies and drops them in one or two moves, so to have elemental Higgledies is complete waste of time. They're pretty much just for merchandise purposes for people to want to buy little figures of them.
The Lisa Simpson look alike fairy was definitely shoe horned into Evans life as opposed to Ollie and Mr Drippy where Mr Drippy served a purpose and had a reason to be there, Lisa Simpson is just there to form a bond with the king which has no emotional value. The characters are ok and the story is a bit bland, but I feel this game has definitely been over hyped and isn't what classic Ni No Kuni is supposed to be. Take out those 'mobile games' within the game and you have a classic JRPG. The scores for this game are definitely over scored. I'd put it under Ni No Kuni 1, and give it a 5/10. It's a shame Ni No Kuni has become like this now. Studio Ghibli should have taken the reigns of this one as it's not a very compelling story, evil guy takes over a kingdom and rebels fight to get it back.
Compare that story with NNK1 and it's loving charm it gives to the player all the way through and you find yourself thinking 'is this it? Is this all they could muster as a sequel after 8 years? There are many stories out there where evil people take over kingdoms' but NNK1 was a fresh new intelligent story which really made you think
I received my kings edition and it’s stunning, but the beginning of the game is a bit awkwardly suggestive, a nuclear weapon goes off in New York and the president gets taken away... kinda feels like today’s North Korea wanting to send a missile to America... Probably best not to put in real life situations with what world leaders want to do to one another in a sweet and innocent game 😕
My favorite ghibli movie is princess mononoke.
That's literally the worst one.
I managed to borrow a ps3 from a friend so now I’m gonna play the first one!
Feels like they could have kept the detailed character models for the world map exploration as well. Still my most looked forward to game, though.
Im playing it as i watch you. Love this game.!
Just got the game loving it so far about 10 hours in, I'm not a rpg fan at all or Japanese cartoons and yet here I am ingrosed in it
Game looks awesome the gameplay the animation the graphics it all looks great can't wait to get a ps4.
Wish they had more voice acting.. 5 hours in and so far I'd give it a 7/10. Ni No Kuni II has to live up to the last game I played though, Nier: Automata.
I see a lot of reviewers criticizing the chibi. Why do people hate chibi? I really like it.
Got in chapter 5 just been running around exploring because i can.
Ni No Kuni was the first game I ever Platinum'd. Took me about 150 hours to finish all the content!
i feel kingdom hearts battle vibe. its good move from Level 5, to not keep the same style as before :D
I just don't think I could do this. I want to because I do trust the opinion of Rob, Hollie, and the rest of the access team. I just don't know.
Looks good Im also not sure on the battle system.
On steam it's on sale at $19 from $45!!! Should I get it?????
This battle was solo not with team
I loved the first Ni No Kuni! I am so exited!
I love Ni No Kuni! I can't wait for the 2nd instalment!
Thinking about Justin & Feena
Really looking forward to this game!
It's almost here!!!!
This game is just a treat for the eyes! Looks sensational.
That loading screen is kind of hilarious.
Kami palace from Dragonball and DBZ xD
"It's not a childish game. Now let me tell you about Evan Pettywhisker from Ding Dong Dell". HmmmmmmmI hadn't heard about this game so I was instantly excited. Now I am very worried as other than being beautiful it sounds like it dropped everything that I enjoyed from the first. Ni No Kuni 1 was one of my first platinums when I almost never get platinums.
despite what everyone here argues about i agree with the video. This is going to be my first JRPG!
I want familiars back.
If you never played Wrath Of The White Witch, are you missing out on anything? Looking to broaden my gaming horizons.
Its Ni No Kuni what else do you need to know....it just feels right
Never finished Ni No Kuni 1 not because I did not like it, I loved the art direction, the music and voice acting, it's just that I had too many games I did not finish at the time and eventually the magic of that game wasn't strong enough to keep me invested beyond a certain point. However this game looks stunning as well and I feel like if I ever got the time I won't be against going back to that magical world.
I'm super bummed that they got rid of the familiars. This looks like a Tales game, which isn't bad, just not what I wanted. There more I see of this game the less hyped I get. Still keeping my pre-order, for now...
Exactly what I was thinking too! It transformed from a pokemon look a like game to a tales look a like game. I liked how it was before.... this.. this I am not so sure about? But hey! If the story is as good as the first one I might give it a try at a much later time.
Sasank Kodi they probably have a reason,let's have some family in the team.
It feels like a Tales game when I play it. I like it and I like the Tales games, but it doesn't feel like Ni no Kuni.
Hi from Maldives
Finally In The 301 Club
Oh man I wish I was where you are -Rob
Thank God they added in additional difficulties, the game would be far too easy had I played it on Normal.
Legit question, I never played the first, but the second has looked better and better with each video, so does that mean I'll be completely confused if I just jump right into the second or will I have to play the first to understand the second?
