    Stamps introduced me to No No Kuni, and in turn let me find studio Ghibli in itself.
    Also, Ponyo was a great movie.

      Finally someone said this, Ponyo was amazing. The animation of the water was insanely high quality. And the story is tear jerking, God especially at the end.
      Oh yeah, and I love the designs of Ponyo's Mom and Dad 🥰

    My dad bought it one day cause he thought i'd like it, and then we ended up playing through the whole game together and it was just incredible, and then a few years later i found Stampy's letsplay and it made me love the game even more lol.

    Ni no kuni is much like a Studio Ghibli movie. On the surface, there's one story but underneath is something else entirely.
    Ni no kuni, at its essence, is a story about the grieving process. The adventure is merely a platform to convey the grieving process and how we come to terms with losing someone.

I found this game because i adore studio ghibli when i found out about it i got obsessed and when i found out you did a video (because i heard the Al Mamoon music and i was like wait a minute that sounds like what i was doing at 2am crying because ESTHER KEPT DYING AND JOE HISAISHI MAKES ME EMOTIONAL) i flipped, so thank you so much! keep making good content!

  • @lunaredelvour2972
    @lunaredelvour2972 Před 3 lety +32

    I too discovered Ni No Kuni through Stampy. Watched his let's play at least 3-4 times, from video 1 to video 90 (91 is mostly credits so I don't really watch that one a lot) because I genuinely didn't think I'd ever get a chance to play it. When I found out it was coming on the Switch, I dropped the money for both a switch and for the game later in September (I was already considering getting one for botw and Ni No Kuni was the main deciding factor). Even after knowing the story inside and out like the back of my hands I still 110% enjoyed the game when I got a chance to play, especially because I got to really dive into the Wizard's Companion... I could go on and on about how much I love this game and how unable I will always be to praise it highly enough but I ought to leave that to new players because the discovery id the world is probably the best part of the game (although the story too is amazing and I love Oliver's character and I love his journey and... okay no more xD)
    Oh, and side note: I have the entire official soundtrack downloaded on my phone at all times PLUS a few of the tracks that they left out for some reason, such as the theme that plays while Cerboreas speaks after battle or the theme that plays with Shadar's knight familiar, which are probably my favorite two tracks despite not being on the official track and... oh god I needa stop rambling I just love this game so much and I will never say differently

    The fact that your "Ni No Kuni" history is exactly how I would describe mine is downright hysterical
    Amazing review, keep it up!

      I also got it on the Switch. I was debating on getting one because Botw looked so interesting despite having never played any LoZ games and then I heard Ni No Kuni (the good one) was getting released on the Switch too so I went for it.
      Bern worth every goddamn penny of both game, switch, and whatever other costs that have gone with it and haven't regretted it for even a second, and this was after watching Stampy's let's play on it over 3-4 times (I never thought I'd get the game so I was determined to learn everything and anything about it)

    @ihavenohotcocoa6101 Před 3 lety +8

    I haven't finished the game yet, although I remember Stampy's let's play pretty clearly. I think there's one major part aspect of the game that helps it feel alive, and that's the NPCs. I don't mean just because they fill up the world, but because each of them feel unique and like actual people. Heck a lot of the people you see in Motorville are people who's soulmates you regularly go on quests for in the other world. And that's another thing, the quests. You'll often get the same couple getting brokenhearted constantly, or Derwin sending you on the most infuriating familar fetch-quests. Plus Horace is a constant figure and, although I don't yet know everything about him, it's made apparent that he's an important figure, and not just from the way he introduces himself. He gets bits and pieces of his memories back with every location you meet him at, and every story he gives you. He's another piece of optional world building, but at the same time he feels like an actual person who you slowly become friends with throughout the course of you adventure.

    Such a fantastic game. I can’t help but smile looking back on it. I think this game has one of my favorite “fake out” endings after the confrontation with Shadar. I was surprised to see how much game was left after that point. And I love the story, characters, music and animation. I’m glad that you had the same appreciation for it. :)

  • @infamouscheezit9088
    @infamouscheezit9088 Před rokem

    The funny thing about this video is that both me and my friend’s family, both got into Ni No Kuni via Stampy. Heck I didn’t even remember about this game until I went to their house one year and saw them playing the game on their switch. That pushed me to buy the game (somehow it was at my local GameStop) as well as the sequel a year later when I had the money (also at my local GameStop by shear luck). I’m also so happy that a CZcamsr like you has played this and also made a video about it. So even though I’m nearly 3 years late, thank you for making this video and talking about NNK.
    P.S. I actually got into Level 5 games about a couple years prior due to YKW being a special interest of mine, so finding out my other childhood memory was made by them both surprised and excited me a lot. Sorry about this wall of text you’ll probably never read, but again thank you for talking about NNK.

    Honestly the sequel is pretty good.I have it on my laptop but it's a little laggy, even on the lowest settings. The fighting is much more fun and interactive (it's more swordplay its REALLY fun) and some of the characters feel more fleshed out than the first game (especially Evan and Roland and their relationship).

    I discovered the game the exact same way, except the British youtuber that introduced me to it was Inthelittlewood

    That entire opening story is scarily similar to how I also discovered this game (and by scarily similar, I mean exactly the same)
