Okay, for those who want to buy this just because of the big names, I've played it and I can tell you that the scences where Ghibli do hand-drawn animation are minimal. Most of the cutscenes are animated in-game and even so are sparsely distributed. The ratio is about 15 secs to 30 min of gameplay, and that is if you go story-mode all the way. You aren't going to get cutscenes on the level of Metal Gear Solid. And even so, Hayao Miyazaki isn't part of the team that's working on this game.
@belleberstinge To add on, the gameplay is quite like the bare-bones traditional JRPG, but it now comes with a map marker that tells you where to go next to progress the main quest. The battle mechanics are of the final-fantasy-meets-pokemon-kind, and that's quite solid, providing something for both casual gamers more hardcore ones. The music is great and gets you in the mood on first listen, but the shortness of the tracks make it get repetitive really fast. The visuals are cute and delightful.
This makes me envious that GameFreak has yet to do this with PokemonT^T I mean look at that gameplay: Perfect fit for the franchise.
Back on topic, I might definitely get this game; It looks well worth it. Plus it's the product of the marriage between Level-5 and Studio Ghilbi, so yeah, that too:-)
I have the DS one and it was amazing. This one looks absolutely amazing-er! They've perfectly mimiced the great Ghibli animations on the DS one using CG and the backgrounds are as beautiful as ever! Hopefully there'll be a European release date and I'll beg for a PS3 before then XD
The sad thing is that this is probably guaranteed not to be a commercial success if it gets released here, cult classic at best. It happened to Okami.
@Kytseo IDK man, like Demon's Souls, this game is starting to get TONS of word of mouth advertising. Hell, thanks to all the word of mouth I was introduced to studio Ghibli for the first time the other week. Spirited Away........ Incredible fucking film. Princess Mononoke, also an amazing film. Howl's Moving Castle? You bet ur sweet ass it was good. My neighbor Totoro? eh, loved the characters, found the movie kind of boring though. 3-3/4 out of 4 aint bad.
For as good as the real-time material of Ni no Kuni looks, the transition from pre-rendered to real-time is *still* incredibly jarring and awkward. Level-5 should have taken a fixed-camera approach to make the in-game world actually *feel* like a Ghibli world. As it stands right now, the graphics are just a slightly more attractive version of Tales of Vesperia.
And they also plan to open a studio in America as well, so it's pretty likely...BUT there's also a possibility they won't...and that small chance breaks my small fragile heart :(
Finally a JRPG with some novelty, the Studio Ghibli art & Pokemon inspired combat look very appealing.
I've grown tired of the same ol' generic cut&paste weapon designs/combat, big eyed cutesy female characters & boku/bishie male characters that you see in a majority of the newer JRPG's nowadays.
@brucelee2dl Nope. Miyazaki hates video games. In an interview he compared them to jacking off. This is made by studio Ghibli though but not everything there is his work.
crappy graphics i can't beleive they are wasting money and time to bring this weeaboo crap. im gonna start a petition for this crap not to make it into the usa. final fantasy ps3 is way superior
OMG!!!! O_O This is a dream come true! Studio Ghibli, Level5, and Joe Hisaishi all making an RPG?! I must have this game! The only person missing from this dream team is Miyazaki.
@lightfedora on what planet do ps2 games look like this? you might have an argument if you were talking about disagaea, but ps2 could never render that detail in real time. ever.
@favianutube You're right that the PS2 couldn't do that detail but the style of graphics itself looks alot like f.eks. Lvl 5's Dragon Quest VIII where it's Akira Toriyama who made the characters.
@iomoo Try going to lensoftruth to test your theory.
What Im trying to say is this game looks like it can be played on a PS2. I bought the PS3 to play new gen games not games that looked like it came from the past.
They should have made the graphics on par with WKC. WKC does not have great graphics but its more or less recent.
It looks cool, wouldn't buy it unless it was on the 3DS though. The DS wouldn't compliment it enough and I don't care much for turn based RPGs on consoles except Fire Emblem.
To those concerned that the gameplay looks derivative, take a look at what the Wikipedia page has to say (search for "ni no kuni"). The gameplay section of the page is referring to the DS version of the game, but it sounds like the combat will be more tactical than we're used to in a turn-based JRPG.
