Why Ni no Kuni taps into all the best emotions to get the most out of the player.
Matt from We Game Daily writes: "Cross Worlds isn’t going away. It’s making a small fortune, particularly in Asian markets, so there’s no reason for Level-5 to pull the plug. That said, there’s no real reason why a full PC/console sequel can’t be developed alongside efforts to support Cross Worlds."
While Ni no Kuni 3 would be cool, if it was like the first game, where is Dark Cloud 3 and Rogue Galaxy 2?
They should've worked with Ghibli to put out a proper movie. Should've also made a Pokemon-esque spin-off rather than make Yokai Watch. If they do make a third game they gotta work with Ghibli!
Get ready to embark on a journey filled with monsters, magic, and overpowered haircuts, because this list features the best JRPGs on the PS3.
There wasn't that many. Thanks to the west's criticism. It was definitely lacking compared to every other ps system. Dont get me wrong there were a few good ones i know that.
Only gripe I have with Ar Tonelico 3 is that Saki is annoying as hell whether English or in Japanese. Then Saki's English voice actor became Ionasal on Ar Nosurge she was a little annoying but not as bad. Johnny Young Bosch voicing Tatsumi I thought he did a great job. And Akiko Shikata with her vocals and the music from the games just went hand and hand.
Twinfinite: "During the PS3’s tenure, plenty of huge games launched, but the interesting thing is, many of the system’s rarer titles are largely not amazing games. Sure, there are one or two exceptions to that rule (I’m looking at you Ni No Kuni!), but many of the more desirable and valuable games in the PS3’s library are usually rare for a reason."
Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
Sold my Painkiller for around £3 years ago and my Asuras Wrath for even less. Managed to pick up Lollipop Chainsaw and Splatterhouse again but they cost me a fair bit more than I initially paid on release when I first bought them.
Wish I bought Godzilla, the number of times I saw it in the game store for the price of a coffee and didn't bother.
i own nba, lolipop and nino kuni. never heard of the rest tbf xD surprised they are worth that much, for what they actually are.
Getting a valuable game is all luck.. I had three of these. Africa is one that people might have seen coming, but otherslike Ni No Kuni wouldn't have been.
My most valuable game I remember owning was Conkers Bad Fur Day. When the game was being re-released on Xbox (remake/ upgrade if you will), the price dropped dramatically. Once the game released and the changes were seen, the value went back up. Then it was released on Rare Replay and value dropped again. 2020 hit and all collectables shot up along with Conker. Before stopping around $110 which it currently is.
Games change all the time because their digital media that can be reproduced even in weird contract bindings (GoldenEye as an example). One day it can be worth $300 and the next $150. The shrink wrapped items in mint condition cannot be reproduced.. but that takes strength to spend, not open, and hope its worth something.
you guys are damn lucky ..damn you all
why i have to wait 2 days ..WHY ?!
Yes! This guy gets it! Ni no Kuni is a throwback to those old school JRPGs that were so amazing back in the SNES & early PSone days.
The game is an amazing tribute to those games that we loved so much when the JRPG was prevalent. The feeling of being on a magical journey with likable characters, that you wanna keep playing to know what happens next.
Ni no Kuni tugs at your heartstrings & you feel for Oliver as he goes on this journey to save someone close to him. Like being a kid way back when & pretending to be a hero from a faraway land, where imaginations of a kid runs wild.
I applaud this guy for saying how he really felt about this game, & that is okay to cry when the emotions displayed in a game call for it.
Ni no Kuni made me laugh when it tried to make me cry.
You know the scene... with the Mom... early on.
It's that terrible Japanese cliche of the "delicate flower." Well, it's not unique to Japan historically, but we've mostly gotten over it in the West. This notion that women are so incredibly, profoundly fragile that the slightest thing can cause them great harm. Swooning at the sight of blood, being knocked over by a stiff breeze, etc., etc.
I haven't gotten too terribly far in the game, but I imagine that if it's anything like DQ8, it won't really begin to get emotional until at least the second city.
...
Damn.
I want to play DQ8 again.
Shame sony got rid of b/c. Now I've got the game, but I Can't play it. ~__~
Wonder if they'll port it to 3DS like, you konw, every other DQ game ever made?
I'm off track here, sorry: pain pills.
Anyway. Ni no Kuni? AWESOME GAME. I haven't enjoyed... every aspect--literally, EVERY aspect--of an RPG this much since, well, Dragon Quest VIII.
Well, aside from OLDER games I played AFTER DQ8, but I'm not sure those count. Like it's only been in the past 2 years that I've played FF1, FF2, FF3, FF4, FF5 and FF6, or Chrono Trigger, or Dragon Quest 4, 5 and 6.
Yeah. Sorry. I'll stop talking now.
Punk.
The fact I have to wait another week is making me cry. I HAVE to get the Australian version, as they usually sell out and look better in my collection.
