Ni No Kuni OPM UK Review

The game is a must have. Every RPG lover, including newcomers, should give this game a chance it so rightfully deserves!

[DaThreats]

AHHH
AAA JRPG SONY Exclusive
Like the Good Old Days

[Nitrowolf2]

This is a day one buy for me. Playstation use to be pumped with JRPG and we need a lot more now. Good to see this and hopefully we get more.

[-Alpha]

Amen.

I can barely read the scan, anyone have a bigger image?

[NewMonday]

great time for JRPGs, Tales of Graces also releasing soon. Also Devil Survivor2.

Last Story sometime this year, and Xenoblade for the gamers in NA

[Ranma1]

Excellent. A good jrpg at least.

I wish FF was getting scores like that these days (FF13-2 got 8/10 from opm).

Need more games like kini no kuni, persona and valkyria chronicles

[Studio-YaMi]

8 is nowhere a bad score....

I didn't like Final Fantasy 13 too,but haven't tried 13-2 yet,it might actually be good ?

Just saying though...an 8/10 is NOT a bad score !
a game doesn't have to be 9 or 10 for you to enjoy it,I enjoy games that are far down from that (5 or 6 !).

[Blaine]

For a Final Fantasy game, 8/10 is abysmal.

[VsAssassin]

Some excerpts:

+The magazine gave the game a total score of 9.1, quoting that it's easily one of the most promising games to graze the modern JRPG world!
+Technical and artistic graphics are beautiful and rich!
+Influence ratio: 20% Layton, 40% Ghibli, 30% FF7
+A compelling story and deep, rewarding gameplay!
+Truth: Everyone should give this game a shot; it's worth it!

[ReservoirDog316]

Sounds like everything we hoped it'd be. We have to support games like these or who knows when we'd get another.

Anyone have a release date for the US?

[VsAssassin]

No release date set yet, but Level 5 confirmed it's a 2012 Q1 release. We can bet before April we'll get this gem!

[MaxXAttaxX]

If only it had been 30% FF9 and not 7.

Naahh it's alright.

[Julie]

Yaaaaaay! i want this game and i want bigger scans too! :O

[GribbleGrunger]

try youtube. there are dozens of game trailers on there of this game

[jacksonmichael]

Good to see. Very excited.

[TheHater]

why can't I pre-order this game in North America?

[brettyd]

I'm not a JRPG fan at all but the art style caught my eye, may have to give this one a shot.

[Ethereal]

I haven't heard anything about a US release outside of "it's coming"...I need it now...

[Studio-YaMi]

confirmed for EU in march 2012
and it says that it's coming in Q1 2012 in the US

so it's not too far now :D

[Ryo-Hazuki]

Can't wait for this to come to the U.S

[baodeus]

if it do well, there is a high chance it will be localized.

[gigreen]

It is getting localized. The US release is announced for the first quarter of 2012.

[baodeus]

oh, didn't know that. Koolll will be looking forward to play it.

[Der_Kommandant]

Reminds me of my days playing Dragon Quest VIII

[Megaman_nerd]

nice score ;D

[Studio-YaMi]

Gonna get this one for sure ! I love studio Ghibli !

[SandwichHammock]

Remote play with PSV! Please!

[wenaldy]

Only one reason: Studio Ghibli

[LNDCalling]

Breath of fresh air, this game is. Yes, hmmm.

[Kran]

I want it :( Hurry up with the english port! :(

[Acquiescence]

Is this an import review of the Japanese version or is the game out in Western countries soon? Last I knew, the game doesn't even have an official release date here yet, so why was OPM sent a review copy so early.

This is a great score though, and gets me even more hyped for this spectacular looking gem. 40% Studio Ghibli and 30% FFVII?! *drools*

[Kran]

I presume they ported it from JP and that they didnt get a review copy.

[Optical_Matrix]

It's so sad that it's taken this long for a HD JRPG like Ni no Kuni to come about. Admittedly we've had but Lost Odyssey and Valkyria Chronicles but those games are 4 years old. Happy that Namco Bandai is bring this to Europe.

[_Q_]

All I wanted was a 7 for the buy. Nice...

[BlackSharinganX]

people!peole! when is this coming in the US?! plz someone tell me

[tiffac008]

No exact release date yet (I'm dying of waiting myself. lol!) The last report was its slated for Q1 2012 but its more likely in early Q2.

[jmallymav]

I'm liking the artwork!
I hope it comes out this year(early).
I havent seen a game like this before...sorta reminds me of Earthbound.
I getting this.

[danthebios]

Love it cant wait:)
