Da fuq this should be a movie not a game, though I may just be closed minded about it (partly because I worry that it will not be released in english)
I've got this game and if you're thinking of getting it, GET IT. Studio Ghibli does the anime and as usual, the don't disappoint (They showed a lot of the cutscenes in this trailer). The introduction was a bit unreastic, but the whole game is really cute and enjoyable. There's even little details in the backgrounds during battles like the reflection of the water and the leaves falling from trees. Also, Oliver is extremely adorable! Really recommend this game! :D
I just searched up the PLOT in wiki, and man is this plot been done before! (eg: Brave story). I'm a bit disappointed in the plot, it could have been ALOT more original
@glitch2424 The story was slightly influenced by Brave Story but Wataru had nothing to with his parents divorce; Oliver was completely responsible for his mother's death. Wataru found Vision by accident (at least in the book), Oliver used magic. Wataru uses a sword but Oliver is a magician (yet he has a sword on his belt). Brave Story is extremely political but Ninokuni is mostly about finding Jabo and collecting hearts. I love both so I can think of major differences :'D
That is very, very, very common in games. I could name 20 games which fit your description. Basically, some games only differ with their story lines. So please don't give destructive criticisms 'cause I doubt that would do any significant change in the minds of those who are planning to buy this game.(including me :D) It's Studio Ghibli you're goin' up against. ;)
@MegaLucasModelML You do realize that those are a couple of the most basic tropes of storytelling... right? Do yourself a favor and search "Tropes Are Not Bad" on tvtropes.org
@lyzzle God dammit, i`m NOT insulting that videogame, I like it very much, I was only saying!, OK?, I like the series that copies from the others like Bakugan that looks like Pokemon and another things. I`m sorry if I insulted the video game, but STFU
@MegaLucasModelML If you say you weren't insulting it, fine. But no, I won't "STFU" just because you want to swear at me.
Can you at least understand how your comment might have been TAKEN as insulting? Using typically negative phrases like "ripped off," (which it wasn't) and saying that it's nothing but some other game with a different name? I'm not the developer of the game, but if I were, I'm pretty sure I would be insulted by that.
@lyzzle Sorry, it was a form to say (the game with another name) and, sorry to swear you THAT much, but i h8 when someone misunderstands me. So I apologize for what I have sayed
Alright. This site decided to crap the bed for a minute, because I kept getting error messages when I tried to post. Just pretend that I only posted that message once.
piracy is not the solution but videogames are very expensive and we can't buy them all. 20$ is the best price for a videogame for now and a good weapon against piracy.
@shartnerd wtf i didn't even kno that it wasn't out don't go judging people jesus and if i knew it wasn't out why the fuck would i comment i can't find the rom for this game if it was out i would already have it oh and also people are probaly smart and get R4s TTDS and game files like that so they can just download the game and put it on so they don't waste heaps of money on the games and turn out that they don't like them A.K.A $70 so download the drain
Maybe people prefer to "waste" money, because it lets the company actually make a profit. It's assholes like you that make the PSP such an underdeveloped console. Damn pirates, go to hell.
@daveiy555 Fuck the haters. They act like these game companies that bring in billions of dollars give two shits about them.
It costs them a couple of bucks (after development costs) to produce and ship a game, then they make 60% of the retail of said game so on average they make 35-40 bucks for each game sold. They aren't going to miss a few thousand sales. Besides, they'll make it up by charging you five bucks to download a new skin fora character. +1 daveiy555, you get the way it works.
@likeicareusewe Do me a favor, save this comment you made here. Save it somewhere safe. And when you are old enough to drink, dig it out and read it again. You will feel embarrassed over how dumb you were when you were 13.
@quickstrikeman reminds me of every Jap RPG/Anime/Manga ever made. How many times have RPGs started with the same "voice over with a shot of the sky that drops to a shot of trees"?
I'm not trying to disrespect you, I'm just getting tired of seeing the same thing in every JRPG that comes out. It's either a wannbe FF, Mana or Dragon Quest game everytime. It seems the last one that took chances was The World Ends With You.
There had better be a music player in this game, and maybe even a cut-scene collection. Definitely a music player, though. It's so old-fashioned! I love it.
@HENN3H who doesn't?? the story lines are always epic, the art style is great and its from Japan (the location of Nintendo, the greatest videogame company of all time (live with it)) i am soooooooooooooo getting this game!!!
Nintendo DS and "another platform"? =O This is exciting!
How much animation in the game is by Ghibli? I thought I heard that they could only do 15 minutes of it... even that would be amazing, but if they did every cutscene, that would make this the best game of all time. <3
Studio Ghibli + Level5 = Potential greatest game evr conceived =) Just look at that beutiful artstyle =) Ghibli brings magic to everything it touches.
Studio Ghibli is a film studio who have created numerous critically acclaimed animated films such as Spirit Away and Princess Mononoke. This is their first effort at creating a videogame.
