wad anyone else stumped on that last statue puzzle for the wizard trial? I sat their for like 30-40 min...I'm slow a processing information :(


last one was extremely easy for me. It was the second one I got confused on. I didn't initially notice the lines on the sides of the blocks.


now that one I finshed in mere minutes

I'm not yet far into the game so I stress the emphasis on "MIGHT". But m initial impression is, FINALLY, we have a proper JRPG that follows what a JRPG should be, with no missing links. Everything works. The graphics are amazing, the battle system is very deep and tactical (none of that AUTO-BATTLE BS), the game is relatively difficult, the music is wonderful, and the game design just speaks loudly on the amount of effort that came in. My only issue is the story is a little... "kiddy". I dunno, maybe my taste is a little more into the mature kind of stuff.

Buy it. Even if you don't like JRPGs, even just marvelling at the stunning graphics is worth the price.

Ask me when you finish Xenoblade!!!

HA YES! My girlfriend just got it for me for our 3 years anniversary. Probably won't get to play it for a month though...damn college.

Like many said before me, imo Xenoblade is the best JRPG this gen. Fantastic game. I rarely use metacritic or gamerankings as a reference cause I believe alot of reviews are full of crap these days, but metacritic/gamerankings seem to angry with me.

One thing I definitely do give Ni No Kuni a hand for is not holding your damn hand on bosses. It's not extremely hard, but it's not "mash X, and sleep for 10 minutes" easy either. However like I said based on the 30 hours i've experienced so far. I'm not seeing the magic, and it makes me wonder how many JRPGs people have actually played this gen.

the average poster in this thread has probably played 3 of the 5 JRPGs released this gen.

Well we can agree that it's in the top 3 alongside Xenoblade and FFXIII. But mostly FFXIII.

More like Xenoblade, Lost Odyssey and Valkyrie Chronicles. FFXIII is very good but not in the same category.

But what Wagram is saying that can you really call somethng the best of a genre if you only played 2 to 3 games from that say genre.

If you don't count handheld JRPGs, then yes, it's one of the best.

I played a lot of jrpgs from pokemon, Valkyria Chronicles, to Demon Souls, and those on the PSP.

I like the combat a lot in Ni No Kuni. Its like Tales and Pokemon joined together in holy matrimony, and Ni No Kuni is the results. I'm 20 hours in and I'm doing every possible quest that I can find, it is just epic.

I've always put FFVII as my all time favorite, but Ni No Kuni is starting to make me reconsider..
