5 changes we want to see in Ni no Kuni 2

GR:
Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch was a beautiful, yet flawed, game. The 2010 PlayStation 3 RPG developed in collaboration with Level-5 - the makers of Professor Layton - and the famed animation powerhouse Studio Ghibli (Spirited Away, Ponyo), was a magical tale that was so close to being amazing, but had several hard-to-overlook flaws. The problems were only made more obvious when compared to the areas where the game succeeded magnificently in - like the score.

Yup, combat system is a definite. It didn't stop me from seeing the game through to the end, in fact once in 'the zone' and you had your team set up, it could be OK. I still would have preferred a traditional turn-based.

The combat wasn't bad really, just could have used some smarter AI for your teammates. Never felt forced like the author to grind so I could beat stuff easily. Also, the cast of characters wasn't bad at all. Swaine was annoying at first, but as the game progress you get some character development and learn about his backstory.

The one thing I do agree on was the capture system. At times it was hard enough to get the mob you wanted to spawn, let alone capture with some of the low rates (according to gamefaqs, some capture rates ranged as low as 1 to 3%, most around 4 to 10%, and a few as high as 13 to 20%).

Overall, loved the story, art, and the amount of content they packed into the game.

I still have to rip through the first one. Darn backlog!

Either make the battle system fully turn based, or completely active like the tales of series.

Make Swaine not as stupid in battle (yes, I understand he probably wont be in the new game, but still, smarten him up!)
