Subscribed! I've watched a fair few reviews for this game already, then came across this one which is easily the most informative. I had already pre-ordered the game, but it's reassuring to have seen such a great review. Many of the mainstream review sites (I'll mention no names) have barely skimmed over many details, and I'm drifting further from them now. Thanks for this, I'll be sure to check out your reviews first in future.
Easy Allies (formerly Gametrailers), best in the biz
This looks like a ghibli movie. Gorgeous.
because it is ghibli. XD
Stkrdknmibalz it’s actually not. They helped develop the first but didn’t in this sequel. Still feels very Ghibli though 😃
The first was. It was way better.
🤔
@@OSTOwnage The character designer for this game worked in character design at Ghibli, so that makes it Ghibli enough, for me at least.
The only review that matters
I have to agree. I mean if the game is easy, how is that a negative? It's like every JRPG they review is expected to have Dark Souls difficulty.
Scores don't determine how good a review is, there is reviews that give good scores to critically claimed games but still suck because they cover very little or do a bad job explaining why the game is good.
And people found the stuff that they covered in that review bad.
Amen.
E1ite Yoshi I agree. I actually found the first Ni No Kuni really frustrating because of the amount of grinding that was needed..It got to the point where I spent ages leveling up by attacking Toko's (familiars that give you a tone of xp) and powered through the game on level eighty or something so I could just enjoy the story.
Wow! Super hyped to play this. 9.5 makes me so happy!
Aditya Iyer new rating system is great
yesssss
I was so looking forward to this game but now im really disappointed i cant stand town building and management in any game
Its too bad IGN review bombed it
And it's a Damiani review, and he always seems to be super critical, so it must be amazing, haha.
If there's someone I trust to be a critic and maybe a bit of a nitpicker, it's Damiani, so to hear him give so much praise only fills my heart with joy. Great job
Wtf! An RPG and classic RTS in one game? I'm sold!
First I've seen from this channel and immediately recognized the voice - subscribed and I look forward to watching your reviews on future titles , glad you are back in the reviewing world! Welcome back and best of luck!!
This review has me SOO HYPED to play, Day 1!! Thanks, Damiani!!
This review was more important than most given the quality wasn't guaranteed. Thankfully this game and review lived up to the hype.
30 Hours! Sounds great to me, will be done in time for Far Cry. Mass Effect 2 was around 30 hours as well.
Can't wait to receive my King's Edition and Collector's Edition! Great review which made me even more hype for the game!
I must say you have the best ni no kuni review ! still have nostalgia of the old game trailers reviews .
keep up the great work
Best channel to review video games. Their review are somewhat longer than most. They are detailed and cover everything!
First JRPG Iv'e ever played and i thought it was brilliant
Play the first game, remastered :)
@@Shadow6212 so good
Omg im gonna cry cant believe its as good as the original great review guys
Nice thorough review, thanks!
Great review! Thanks!
day 1 buy for me
great review
WHAT!! 9.5??! I didn't want to buy this game but I trust your reviews a lot.... time to find some money
I am picking up my Kings Edition tomorrow and you have made me so excited to pick it up. I have been waiting ever since I finished the first one.
I wish i could still use my physical copy of the Wizards Companion book.
Found this channel through a comment on the ign "review".
This is a real review, thank you
CAN'T WAIT
Awesome, ordered the kings addition just now :3
i love you pig
admit it cause of those small creatures.
I'm so excited to play this!
Very informative review. It proved helpful in deciding if to buy this game.
God i cant wait for this game.
Of course you can't. Of course you can't ...WEAAAAAAAB
Yes!!! Finally!
This is what I was waiting for! Pre-ordered!
Great review!!
Cool. I'm convinced to pick it up now. Hopefully I'll like it even more than the first.
Glad to hear it's a bit shorter than the average jrpg too.
If you like the look of this game, please go and play Dark Chronicle. It's a PS2 game also made by Level5 and Ni No Kuni looks like it borrows heavily from that game. You won't regret it.
Oblivion I played it and hope it will come to Switch because I dont have much time to play on PS4
Dark Cloud 2 outside of Japan.
Brennan Cortez Dark Chronicle in Europe
In North America, I should have said.
I immediately thought of Dark Cloud 2 as soon as I saw the Kingdom building part of this game, although Dark Cloud 2's building aspect is a lot more in depth.
I didn’t know this channel existed until now. Glad you guys are here to fill that GameTrailers-shaped void in my life.
I'm so unbelievably hyped for this.
the only review i can trust on internet
They are so accurate when reviewing games. If they say its a good game then most likely, its a good game. Back during gametrailers they rarely gave 9's so im expecting this game to be that good.
Reno Sacino acg
Lol
I want to build a kingdom where everyone can live happily ever after! I will unite all the kingdoms in peace!
...goes to annihilate everything in his path! Typical tyrant!
hahaha, no it doesn't. Every type of regime ever had that mentality. It is the concept of uniting everyone under one rule. Every king or emperor on the planet had the same goal. To say that communism is the root of all evil is just brainwash propaganda. You picked that up at some point in your life. Many people have, after the fall of the communistic regime. It is the way of the winners to discredit the losers, by showing their worst sides and then add some crazy shit on top of that. You know - the winner gets to write the history. Capitalists are responsible for just as many atrocities as any other, we just don't talk about it. There is nothing wrong with communism, capitalism, fascism, tyranny or any regime. The problem is in the humans - give them power and they do unspeakable things.
Like the do-good prince Evan here. I have been slicing and dicing all types of free roaming monsters in the name of Good. But I noticed right away that the Pirates on our side are all good guys, while the Bandits that we are killing are all bad guys... because they rob people.
Hyped on this!
I could listen to this guy review games all day. lol
Definitely buying this game day 1.
Don't forget that Paid DLC (season pass) is coming soon. New story, New dungeons etc.
Super excited for this, but wish they didn't use the chibi designs for the over-world/skirmishes.
Alsop's Gaming while I can agree I dislike the art style, after playing world of Final Fantasy, I'll tell you that you get used to it eventually.
I got about halfway through WoFF and gave up unfortunately. Really tried to like it. I also tried to play as the non-chibi versions as much as possible. But I hated that transitioning back and forth was an integral mechanic to the game. Really took me out of the experience.
Alsop's Gaming I guess there's a limit to what we can accept and we have different limits, while I honestly think Chibi style stuff looks dumb, if I really try its easy enough to get passed. I just fail to see a reason to make "cute" things in what should be a more adult game. WoFF was aimed at younger people so I guess I can get it on that side, and I get that the sprites are probably easier to animate and produce, but real praise comes when you do difficult things and do them well. So I'm with you on not liking it, but I doubt it'll detract from my experience too greatly.
I have to say this again. This review was one of the best they have done. Great job explaining the game.
Studio Ghibili I LoVE u
I know it’s not always possible but can’t tell you guys how huge it is to have the review up early when the embargo is lifted. Makes it so much easier to spread the word!
30 hours is good enough when you don’t have the endless grinding. Awesome rpgs takes less than that such as Chronno Trigger and Parasite Eve
Except its way more than double that if you dont just blitz your games to rush and move on to the next thing to consume
Good review but I'm concerned with the lack of difficulty. Is there a difficulty setting or any way to increase the challenge? RPGs crumble for me when they are too easy, making the whole process counter intuitive.
there is in the game options and trust me hardmode is a challange
Then run past all the enemies and only fight what it in Red. Those are overlevelled. :/ Some people prefer the easy, because they don't want to mindlessly hit every enemy 20 times.
Just looking at those footage make me want to dive into this game to explore the wonderful world there.
I was excited. After watching this my excitement is off the scale! CAN'T WAIT FOR FRIDAY. :) :)
Having played the game the excitement was for nothing, the game lacks the charm of the orginal and is far too easy... I have oithers issues with it as well. Disapointed.
This game is so Enjoyable and fun, I love it.
I didn't want to buy another game because of my massive backlog... sigh.
Great review!
Haru I'm right there with you
Haru I mean it's not going anywhere...

Reigns (no idea since the nature of the game)
The Black Watchman (finished 6 levels or chapters or whatever)

Bayonetta (around the point where you flashback and fight a boss fight)
The Banner Saga 2 (barely started)

Costume Quest 2 (early in it)
Chroma Squad (need to try another playthrough to try another branching path, ideally motorcycle one)
DMC 4 (beat the first boss like 2 years ago and stopped)
Serious Sam BFE (probably around halfway through)

Battleblock Theater (probably halfway through)
Alien Isolation (not sure I ever have the alien attacking me actively yet)
Darksiders 1 (was on first spider boss)
Witcher 3 (did this twice since had on ps4 then gog pc but I pretty much finished bloody baron on both and a good amount of side quests and stuff)
Dead in Bermuda (if it didn't save my progress I"m not bothering with it but I had fun with it and was decently in, though nowhere close to finishing)
SteamWorld Dig (no idea but it's fun)
I Expect You To Die (all vr games are psvr since that's what I have now. Anyway I beat 2 levels and I'm on sinking escape pod level and I'm trying to figure it out myself)
Superhot VR (I think I'm decently into it, not sure)
Mortal Blitz (beat firstish level, vr)
Megaton Rainfall (a few levels in, in vr of course)
Thumper (beat the first real boss, vr is super good in it)
Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 1

Borderlands 2 (a few bosses in)
Mytheon (beat Hephaestus I think)

Not a Hero (beat a few levels)
Those are ps4 or pc, but as far as old games I need to go back to:
Nier (ps3), Puppeteer (ps3), Folklore (ps3), and Yakuza 5 (ps3)
I'll probably play yakuza 5 soon to prepare for yakuza 6, will have to restart since I lost the save that was decently into haruka's plot.

Great review, guys.
I was wondering if during the normal battles are you able to switch between your characters on the fly or do you set the character your going to control in the menu during and/or between the battles?
based on what you said on the review I think a 9.5 feels oddly generous. But I trust in the professional reviews you guys deliver~ game was preordered anyways ;P
Never preorder.
Pre order lmao
god i wish i was not an RPG fan all these excellent games and there all dozens to hundreds of hours long (both good and bad) EDIT: wait its only 30hours... thank god
After Persona 5 and Xenoblade I'm totally ok witb this being short. Though might be ncie if theres some post game stuff as well.
amurter19 Both those games require so much time 😌
Michael Hudson 👀 it has a season pass 😎
i currently own both of those and have not started either.
if you start one, just know you may never get the chance to start the other. My first playthrough of P5 was 133 hours. To be fair though, because the world is properly connected I didn't use fast travel for most the game because I wanted to learn and master the games layout since it was the only thing I wish P4 did that was missing. So basically, if I wanted to go somewhere instead if the 10 seconds to choose and jump immediately, I leave home, run down the alley, go to the train station, jump on the train, go downtown, and yeahh lol.
Great review! Question, though. Which "side characters" aren't developed? The playable cast, or the characters you meet in the world (NPCs)?
Wtf? Why don't I ever get notifications of your reviews? I'm subbed and clicked the bell thingy.
3 days more until Ni No Kuni 2
As of right now, This review for this game got 40K more views than gamespots review. Today is 03-20-2018
Time: 12:13 pm IN. USA
Thanks for the review, already bought this. I know I will enjoy this game.
Good to hear that it’s only 30 hours to finish the story. I wasn’t sure about a day one purchase but that run time seals it for me. I cannot wait.
30 hours. Good, good.
louisgworld I know that was refreshing to hear since for whatever reason I always spend double the standard time it says. 60-80 hours can mean 120+ for me!
bettergetdave Same. I'm super thorough with my exploration. Helps with trophies and such but it really inflates my playtime.
I actually am not happy about it... I want more enjoyment per dollar I spend. 60 hours is the bare minimum for an hour per dollar ratio, but I spent 80, so hopefully it'll give me that much.
30 hours seems like the perfect amount for an RPG. These days, after 30 hours in a game, I am ready to move on. I love long jrpg games like Persona 5, but wish it cut down the fat.
"60 hours is the bare minimum for an hour per dollar ratio"
If you're an idiot, I guess.
I have the first game but still haven't played it. I feel like I'm seriously missing out but my backlog is massive and I do what I can to get through it. Some day!
I loved the first one. It was one of the rare RPG's that i actually finished.
The Game Grinder same, I started it but didn't really like the little avatars you use in battle so haven't gone back to it yet.
+Mike Clarke The second one might be more to your liking then. The familiar/Pokemon aspect to the game was fun, but I'm glad to see it replaced with something new for this game.
Bloody useless yeah for sure, I already pre-ordered it :)
Same category.
Can't wait for you guys to review The Alliance Alive.
I'm really looking forward to picking this one up. Ni No Kuni was one of my absolute favorites of last generation.
OMG you are the guy who make the review for gametrailes.com?
Easy Allies yes!!!!!! Love your reviews are the more complete and profesional!!!
im well aware
That's what I said!!
Oh that's interesting
Yeah Armando I like these guys too they really doing great job in GT and now as Easy Allies.
This reviewers voice sounds incredibly familiar. Are Easy Allies the people from Game Trailers?!
Yes
Another amazing review by Brandon Jones!
I had my doubts if i really should get this, now I cant wait to play it!
So glad the star system is dead.
9.5! Awesome.
This would've been a 5 star...
Oscar Magaña
4.5 bruh
or a 4.5. The point is that 9.5 is closer to what they actually wanted to give it than either 4.5 or 5.
And a number makes any difference why?
Another great game... sony i have a life u know
Sandesh Gharat after 200 hours in mhw 100+ in persona 5 100+ in ffxv ive come to the conclusion that they dont care....they just...dont.
This isnt sony as its on pc as well
that's why the game isn't as long as say Diablo.
J Po those are rookie numbers, you got to pump those hrs up!
Thanks Sony, Loved playing this on my PC.
when you are starting to fly? in which chapter you are getting plane or other flying transport?
Can’t wait!!!!
You guys absolutely REKTED IGN`s review in every sense possible..
I really like you guys but even though no one should be safe from valid criticism. So even if I get slapped by angry fans, here goes:
How in the world did you see an 9.5 in Ni nu Kuni 2. It is, graphics and cuteness aside, a slightly above average JRPG. It suffers from many shortcomings in:
-Voice acting ( only very few scenes are VA)
-story arcs (Hydropolis is seriously rushed)
-character development (6 characters but only 2 seem to make some progress 2/3s into the game)
-difficulty (feels too easy. you have to fall behind in levels to make the game a challenge)
Then there are rushed aspects. The world map looks nothing as the first location you start in. The fields are vibrant and full of foliage and things to look at. Later regions are way closer to the original PS3 game.
Many systems, like the improvement of gear, are not needed to progress through the game. (but that could be fixed with more difficulty options)
It feels like a very shallow game at times. It's cute, it makes you smile and it is fun. Yes. Absolutely a positive score. But 9.5?! NEAR PERFECT?! How do you even....what?!
I hold your opinion in high regard, and you're seemingly one of the few that realizes how severely lacking certain aspects of this game are. For me, its a 6.5/10. When combat isn't mindlessly easy, the story misses so many beats for me. The main cast is very one note, especially characters like Batu that are just kinda.......there.....Nothing about the story was unique and honestly I'm really bothered by the high praise when this game borders on average. This game is, simply put, a decent game. Its well put together, and has good moments, but it feels empty despite how full of life it appears to be at the start. If I had the point out my favorite part, I'd probably say that Zip's redemption arc and how much he means to Bracken was the only moment where I felt something.
damn, i was gonna buy the game. but now, after your... assassination of the game i will continue my search for some other old fasion jrpg.
i adore NNK1

I can't wait!!!
After putting 110 hours into Persona 5. I am actually glad this is around 30 hours. Great review! I can't wait to pick this up, this week.
Metacritic is at 85 for this game right now, so people seem to be positive to very positive in this case.
Loved the first game, but for some reason never finished it (got like 30 hours in, I believe).
The difficulty seems to be a point of discussion, as the game seems a bit on the easier side.
To me, that aint a huge deal as long as it plays well, and it seems like it does.
And those graphics! Wow.
I'll take graphics like these over a photo-realistic game any day.
30 hours is fine, a lot of these jrpgs devs much asume all gamers have no life and can just spend 60+ hours on a game with ease
You can artificially make Revenant Kingdom last 60 hours. . No fast travel. 😆
Uh dude you know some gamers could be devs and QA people who play games like nothing....it's not hard to spend 60 hours on a game if yiu play let's say maybe 1 or 2 hours every 2 or 3 days..
Im glad to hear it wont take that long to beat it.thanks for the review
the difficulty and lenght saddens me a little...that aside, hype AF for this. thanks for the review
4:25 Ugandan Knuckles meets Lisa Simpson?
7.8 TOO MUCH WA...
Oh wait, wrong review. Now should I get it on PC or PS4...hmm.
I have a beast of a PC but lately due to buggy PC ports I have been buying all my games on PS4 pro, so you know what to do. Plus sitting on couch seems perfect for thus game while playing :-)
Go PS4 the game feels AMAZING with a control.
dont need a ps4 for that
John You mean the thing that he can also use on his PC?
the type of game it is, only makes sense to play with a control. So I'd say PS4. Of course you can on PC too. But PS4 is so much more simple to deal with. I only buy Shooters and games where using a mouse makes more sense on pc over ps4, because those just feel better that way for me lol
Pre-ordered on Steam, can't wait!
Looks amazing!
NOW!
If only Bandai Namco didn't put an *abysmal regional pricing* on Steam.
The game costs *more than three times* than what is asked for other $60 games.
Hemang Chauhan buy it on PS4 then
Your first failure was playing it on steam.
how so
In my poor country it cost 30 dollars.
where a live its pretty cheap. around 45/50.
Is the first game on ps4
Yes. You'll need PS Now to play it.
rob19ny ok thanks
Its PS3 if i'm not mistaken
first game was made for the DS and remade for the ps3
rob19ny thank
Are there different costumes to collect in the game, or do you exclusively just wear the standard outfits we've only seen in the trailers?
The kingdom building reminds me of dark cloud, love that game!!
After watching this review i decided to buy the game. Im about 10-15 hours in and i just cant get into it. I usually like jrpgs too. Its just missing something to keep me hooked. To each their own i guess
I agree this review is by no means an accurate reflect of what this game is, super boring story.
Having finished it yeah the story isn't great, imo the very best part storywise was the very beginning with that huge event, that kept me wondering wtf was going on for long enough to get my kingdom. After that upgrading your kingdom is fun enough to keep the game going but that was really the only worthwhile bit.
Yeah, you can't trust the reviews by these guys. IGN did a better job
kseries1981 lol
Like always with great games Not on Xbone lol
Wow, that score and that from Damiani.
EZ, with the new (or old, if you think back to GT), review scoring, how much would you give BoWT?
Not my style of game, I don't like the actiony combat and the pikmin. I enjoyed the grinding and capturing monsters of the first but I understand why people didn't
lacunarikain2 Same. The first is one of my favorite games of all time. So disappointed they changed the combat and got rid of the familiars. I’ll be passing on this one.
lacunarikain2 Really you don’t get how people don’t enjoy grinding? in the first game i had to grind 10 fucking times for like 4 hours each time i grind it was terrible and normal enemies give jack shit for exp the only way to level up normally is to grind on tokos and them appearing is like what a 30% chance of appearing and most sidequests are the same shit and repetitive i ended up just skipping all of the sidequest’s text the only ones that are fun are the post game ones where you fight recolors of all the bosses again and even that is lazy as shit since they’re all just recolors in my opinion the first game had a hell of alot more flaws than the second game.
Same, I lost interest in this one. The 1st was my all time fav, especially how the capturing monsters whereas this one completely removed it. Which turn out this is a big disappointment. I would rated 8 at best since I completed it.
Since this game seems to have non-existant hype, I predict it'll go on sale rather quickly. I'll probably wait to grab this one in a sale.
neogauntlet it won’t
omensoffate okay, maybe it wont go on sale "rather quickly" but it will go on sale eventually and im willing to wait.
Thankfully not all gamers think that way and some like to support studios for making great games, instead of looking at the videogame release calendar like a stockmarket.
Terence Caron I understand the need to support artists who create great, enjoyable content, but not everyone can afford to buy releases at full price all the time.
It got low scores on the more reliable sources so yes it won't sell well for sure
May i just add that I am happy to listen to the old GT Voiceover again
I know its ganna be amazing can't wait.
Is there a way to make the battles harder? i rather not play sesame street...
war weeny then don’t play the game
Hoping for a hard mode to start with here also.
Yeah, I agree. Where's the fun if there's no challenge?
You guys hate on IGN for calling it too easy, yet you come over here and start complaining for a hard mode. Hahahaha! !!
Challenging combat is the most important thing in a JRPG. Without it, all other systems are unnecessary, since there is no reason to power up your character.
Let's hope the combat is at least enjoyable; otherwise the only draw of this game is its narrative.
This review has me a bit skeptical. It's sounds too gushy to the point that things like a 30 hour story and easy combat are suddenly a good thing? Sounds like there's a lot of shortcomings that you expect us to just ignore.
This is the voice of gametrailers. GREATNESS!!!
Best reviews in the biz.
Played until chapter 6, and gave up. This game has so much grind, and so many fetch quests is not even funny. But I think that the straw that broke the camel's back was the fact that we have to recruit to level up the kingdom, and to recruit first you have to go on some fetch quest. Repeat it 25/50 times. Boring af
Well it sucks if they used easy action combat instead of combat system that is challenging and requires you to think more.
wow that's a really high score. this games been chilling in my backlog for a little while but I think I'll play it
What was the song at the very end of the video?
