Has a Ghibli game ever happened before?

Ni No Kuni was a collaboration by Ghibli and Factor 5 with hand drawn cutscenes.

The last time reaching a cutscene in game felt really rewarding :)

The game itself was decent, I hope the sequel can expand on the Ghibli magic. And good news, no emulator needed, same day PC version confirmed. Yet I'm a bit concerned about Ghibli's involvement. In 2015 they weren't on board https://www.destructoid.com/new-ni-no-kuni-coming-to-ps4-without-famed-animation-house-studio-ghibli-324507.phtml, now they are yet doing the pc version http://www.pcgamer.com/former-studio-ghibli-talent-is-bringing-ni-no-kuni-2-to-the-pc/ Odd.

Doesn't seem to have the same hand drawn quality, nor the magic unfortunately

Impa in Botw is much closer to Ghibli magic.

Oh wow. Had no idea NNK had Ghibli people working on it. Sweet...

Still, I feel BotW mods is as close as we'll get to a Princess Mononoke game. I'm expecting a Castle in the Sky mod at some point with the Guardians fixed-up to look like the robots from the same film.
