Playeressence's Furious Francis describes how Ni No Kuni lets him relive the glory days of the JRPG. And how Ni No Kuni's breath taking art and gameplay far outshine other PS3 exclusives.
(Level-5, Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, PS3)
We are talking exclusive JRPGs for the PS3 and exclusives in general for the PS3, not all JRPGs released in general. So, there was no reason to bring Xenoblade into this.
Xenoblade and Ni No Kuni are too rare breads of JRPG. They are both fantastic and anybody who likes one should like the other. Its not like awesome console JRPGs come around a lot.
In its genre... maybe. But it has pretty stiff competition between Nier, Tales Of, Valkyria Chronicles and Disgaea, to name a few.
I don't think anyone would argue it's THE BEST exclusive PS3 game, because there's really no such thing--the PS3, indeed, all Sony platforms suffer from having too many fantastic exclusives.
It's not like Nintendo, where you can point to Mario or Zelda and say, "THAT is THE game."
It's not like Microsoft, where you can point to Gears of War or Halo and say, "THAT is THE game."
The typical diverse library of Sony consoles has always been their greatest asset... as well as, paradoxically, their greatest weakness.
Technically it's only exclusive here in the west, because it was released on the DS in Japan in 2011.
Since I now have a ps3 though, I'm definitely getting this game. It's about that time for my RPG itch t be scratched again and Ni No Kuni looks to have some very sharp nails...
The game is really only the same up to a point and by name. Here is a vague comment made by one of the producers:
"Ni no Kuni: Queen of the Holy White Ash’s story will start out the same as the Nintendo DS version’s, but will be told differently after the halfway point. Hino says Queen of the Holy White Ash’s story will continue after the DS version’s, and that the game will also have post-release downloadable content."
They're two different games. Same name, same characters and same geeeneral plot line, but there's much more to the PS3 game. More content, more detail, longer, and compleeeetely different battle system, among other things.
Says the guy with True Crime avatar? Okay I guess.
I wasn't arguing the game's quality though, I was just mentioning the fact that those two games received near perfect scores from credible reviewers, you may or may not like them and that's not the point here.
there are too many great PS3 exclusives but for me the best one of them all is Heavy Rain!! That game is incredible i've never experienced something like it.
I will see for myself upon it's release. C'mon Jan 22 and get here. I have prepaid for it allready all I have to do is pick it up on the 22nd. Real excited for this game.
Killzone over Ni No Kuni? I'm not trying to knock Killzone and all but that game is just a fairly generic shooter, that doesn't really innovate at all. Its still good though.
this year is crazy for ps3 exclusives, ni no kuni, tales of xillia, beyond, last of us, god of war ascension. especially now that the next console is just months away from reveal and release. exciting is an understatement at this point.
I seriously need to stop looking at these articles, I have the Wizard edition pre-ordered and it won't be here until the end of the month I bet...and I wanna play it now...

That's the beauty of having a ps3, there are many great exclusives that have come and gone and many more in store for us in the near future i'm sure.
For me i'm waiting patiently for The Last of Us and The Last Guardian. No matter what you prefer the future looks bright for ps3 gamers.
Only MGS4 and GTA4 dropped massive 10/10 bombs this gen from almost every non-trolling review website.

I'm also highly excited for Ni No Kuni.
