    Hello there, you've caught me researching a game on this CZcams channel that I bought specifically because of the enthusiastic recommendation on this same CZcams channel.

    i just played and beat persona 5. I was never really a JRPG fan. But I can now safely say that after beating P5, I am now a HUGE JRPG fan!😍🤓

    • @carpetclimber4027
      @carpetclimber4027 Před 5 lety +9

      Opposite for me. I couldn't finish it, as it was ridiculously grindy and I remembered how much I hate turn based JRPG combat. This game looks interesting though.

      @themanlybeard9212 Před 4 lety +3

      @@carpetclimber4027 You really don't have to grind in P5, I ended up using Cerberus as my end game Persona (really under leveled) and if you don't like grinding maybe JRPG's aren't for you because most of them are just that, it's the reason I hated the first Ni No Kuni.

    I'm not sure what to think about this now, after learning there will be no familiars. I'm still in love with Ni No Kuni, but I think a lot of people feel the same when I say that while they were only a part of an overall masterpiece, the familiars themselves and the game play that came with them were fantastic.

    • @Red4350
      @Red4350 Před 6 lety

      ^ I can say now that after playing it that it is similar...but the battles have alot of extras like the higglies (with each having their own skills) and you can roll...Ni no has HUGE bosses....every character has a ranged attack....you can charge it...and the spells too...though Im basing this off of only playing Berseria...in a Ni no dungeon the monsters are already on the field no loading... there's Kingdom building and mini RTS army battles which Tales doesn't have...so to me the battles are like Tales but also have their own feel/originality...all in all Im enjoying it

    • @lnsflare1
      @lnsflare1 Před 4 lety

      The art style and the fact that this game isn't likely to be a massive deconstruction of traditional gaming/fantasy tropes.

I have over 150 in my collection already so it’s hard to find new ones to buy. I read reviews on my phone and they were quite good so I bought it. It was $19.99 plus I had my certificate and my gamers club so I paid $6.36. Not bad

    I have too poor of an internet connection to stream the first Ni No Kuni. I get a little anxious every time there's a video about it, because I really want to play it. ☹️

    Great game - loved playing it, just wish it was a bit more challenging. Elements, status effects etc don’t ever seem to come into play and battles never seem to need much strategy or different tactics.

    1) Because Ni No Kuni is the greatest game ever made.
    2)That is all
