Pretty graphics and charming atmosphere...., but characters and story were boring and underdeveloped (the 2 characters beside oliver that you can control were absolutely pointless at every level, and secondary characters didn't improved the story neither), and battle system was not fun at all. I expected a lot more from this game..., too childish for my tastes...., if at least it was fun but that was another disappointment. Very basic and repetitive gaming design, with sidequests that were very boring and tedious too.
I can't understand the praise this game received from a lot of sites. JRPG were critizised for years for becoming too predictiful, stuck in the past, repetitive,.... and suddenly Ni No Kuni was praised for doing the old same again. It's not a bad game, but it's very far to be considered a classic.
For me, a 7 out of 10, and i'm being generous....
