Ni No Kuni 2 |OT| Welcome to Evermore

There should be difficulty options for those that want something more challenging but so far (4 hours) I'm not disliking the lack of challenge at all. I can do cool stuff easily and it looks visually stunning while not having to be a master of the controls or constantly thinking. For a game that is going to be 80 hours to platinum and seeing how you are fighting constantly and things respawn, for me it's a nice compromise.
Stuff like the lack of and inconsistent VO for large stretches will be a far bigger deal than the non-demanding combat.

Just grabbed my copy:
That has got to be one of the ugliest keychains I have ever seen in my life......
Looks like a fusion of Lisa and Homer Simpson
Oh wow, okay. Hopefully the lack of difficulty doesn't bother me too much.
How is the removal of familiars affecting people's enjoyment of this? I have to admit, the familiars were one of the aspects I loved most about Ni No Kuni, so the fact that they've taken them out has me apprehensive about buying the sequel.
I have the dynamic theme on my PS4 but it doesn't have the Hisaishi song.
Either my theme is bugged or they released a different theme in EU for some reason. Meh.
Does someone have a link to the big list of PC benchmarks some website did for the game? I can't find it.
I got a game over btw in my first half hour so I was like heh piss easy? But you were supposed to sneak. :p
man, i am so on the line with this..i dunno if i should get it..i want an rpg with cool story and mechanics, but the whole anime style stuff just doesnt intrigue me.
Couple hours in. I really hope the game continues to contextualize game mechanics in the world and lore itself. It's wonderful at doing that so far.
Yes, I got my key yesterday.
On another note, steam decryption is almost always slower than actually downloading the whole thing all over again, should've just waited for the unlock...
3rd chapter (I think) was a lot better than what came before it.
The town was beautiful and fun to explore. Music was good, but got abit too excited at the end of the loop.
The pacing was much slower, allowing enough time for the outcome to feel earned. The boss was visually satisfying and mechanically interesting enough to be somewhat engaging.

I have my nits to pick with Level 5, but I still can't believe that a JRPG has released on a home console in 2018 complete with such near-extinct concepts as a world map and actual cosmetic costumes for the playable cast that you don't need to pay $3-10 for each.
God I can't wait to get home and dig into this. Only a few more hours...

One day, we will finish the story and the protag will have a role and I will be there day 1!
I was replaying Ni No Kuni 1 last week in preparation for this game. My hot take after about 3 hours of playing is that I vastly prefer the new battle system to the familiar system. Your allies aren't complete idiots in battle who spam all their mana and die instantly in a fight, and I find the real time character combat more satisfying to use than the familiars. That being said the monster designs are in general nowhere near as charming or memorable as most of the familiars in the first game (so far). We'll see if that changes, but so far the monsters have kind of been a mix of pseudo-realistic and more in line with the first game, and I'm not sure how I feel about it.
