Dragon Quest XI for me. I mean, I'm a huge DQ fan, but I also thoroughly enjoy Level 5 games and Studio Ghibli, and the first Ni No Kuni was just something special. I think I would have a more difficult decision pitting DQXI against the first Ni No Kuni.
Ni No Kuni II...I dunno, it just didn't resonate with me. The battle system, while flashy isn't all that strategic, definitely not as strategic as the first NNK or Dragon Quest XI. In terms of visuals, they're both visual feasts and definitely some of the best to come from Japan. Due to a few environments in DQXI, I think it edges out NNKII but again, they're both gorgeous.
Music is obviously better with Ni No Kuni II, it's orchestrated, it's Joe Hisaishi and I loved it, much better than the DQXI MIDI synth soundtrack which comprised of mostly soundtracks from previous DQ games. Overall, the better game to me is Dragon Quest XI. The journey, combat and characters are just so much more fulfilling.
