Don't sell stinky/smelly shoes cause they're needed for a side mission
Best advice in this topic right here people. This is by far the most potentially longest and most draining sidequest in this game
How much do I wish this was in the video!? Now I’m stuck in Grotty Grotto looking for them at lvl80 🤦🏽♂️ and I watched the video. Wish I’d read the comments
I dont sell anything
Thanks !!
I might have sold it nooo
-revisite old place when you get a new envirommental spell
-play in expert difficulty to have better loot when you are confident
TLDR: Do sidequests, equip better items
I just started the game and I thought i'd learn something new from this video. Use your best weapon that you'll find them on the top of the list!! I mean come on who doesn't know that. Dont forget sidequests, use tactics tweaker!! To be honest if you really did not know these things when you played this game, it means you played it way faster than you should. Take your time to understand the game and how it works
It’s like when a video says “explore every where in the game.” .. that’s the point of the game buddy
Missed 1 tip: Upgrade your citizen.
Pretty sure the only thing I wish I knew was to save a pair of those GOD DAMN SMELLY SHOES!
those all are obvious things. level up citizen manually, upgrade resources building to level 2, always put your citizen on resources gathering when idle, those ARE useul tips because these stuff can even help you in side quests and equipment making. also play on hard for huge drop rate.
leveling up your citizen manually is the most retared thing this game has to offer
Have multiple save files. I cannot streach this enough, it can save your life and will help you from corrupt saves.
I am really glad for the new tactics tweaker! It is far superior to the tactics in the original Ni No Kuni, which you had to set while in the thick of battle.
Question. I played ni no kuni 2 for a long time then I left it for a year so I don't remember how things worke in this game. Now I want to get back to this game . Please help me what should I do .
To complete ni no kuni 2 and buy the DLC .
I hear you also have to upgrade your weapons making place in order to complete the late game. Start early on this.
Thanks for the tips. I plan to start the game later today. :)
did you beat it?
The castle system looks a lot like suikoden, which I really love! Can't wait to play this game!
Not really. Suikoden 1&2 castle/citizen system is much more interesting for me. It's this game's army battle that really stands out.
@@ncbncb77 suikoden games are too good
a scratch to suikoden, yes. but still far superior than nnk2.. nostalgic though
It just dawned on me... I just bought three bundles of JRPGs in the Steam sales. How am I gonna play all of these??
Wish these were real tips instead of just the tutorials being told again
i learned all of these half way through by just playing. nothing you say here is worthwhile lmao
I miss the lobby, I want them to post a discussion about the game
Trent Manucho me too! Maybe I’ll try to do something like that next week if people have time. Thank you for stopping by
Underrated game! Definitely turn up the difficulty! Bit to easy at times. Looks amazing! So many different concepts and games within a game. Like the skirmish. Even building your kingdom is like a tycoon sort game, then the usual rpg fighting aspect. Great!
Yeah nice concepts
hard difficulty still ablle o kill you in 2 -3 hits. but what makes the game seems easy must be because we have so many buffs and healing items. so even if you play recklessly you can finish on hard without having much problem,
@@manikaditha6308tried it on expert feels like I’m playing dark souls
the level 50 monsters at the beginning is the stro gest creaturers in the game?
Familiars > Higgledies
?
Couldn’t agree more
Nahhh disagree
Now we're talking
Meeseeks > Familiars
The title should be 'stuff I do in more or less every rpg I play'.
it would be wonderful if the game had an online version of Skirmishes, where players could build defenses and fight each other
Game looks promising
The game already told you all of this you listed here though.
How does this fare against Tales series? I need a JRPG fix after the hollow left by FF7R. Tried Berseria but it's rather not my cup of tea
I’ve been a huge fan of the Tales series for a long time. Especially of Symphonia, Abyss, and Vesperia. This game does scratch a similar itch. The combat is fairly similar. Imagine having free run always active and instead of just attacks and arts, you have light attacks, heavy attacks, ranged attacks, and arts/spells.
Try YS8 and YS9
So we can pretty much be a high level early on in the game but the drawback is we gain little to no money/equipment from mobs or we can get money and equipment at the cost of being at a lower level. Hmm seems balanced.
The tweaker only increases the drop rates ABOVE NORMAL. The drop rates are already norma by defaultl, you just choose which one you want to have a higher rate.
Studio ghibli world makes one feel happy
This game reminds me of suikoden2 in a lot of ways
Can I play this game portability Smach team?
Ok im 5 hours in still on chapter 3 and its too easy... does it get harder? I mean im not a darksouls kinda gamer but im finding the battles too short
Rudy Yeye Try not to grind ever and if the battles are too easy then equip weak equipments.
This looks fun and addicting
idk what makes this game so amazing is how many different rpg elements are happening at once and demand your attention. it's hard to devote your time to all of it on the 1st play through because much of it is not required and u can run past the game on normal just smashing malee if u want haha.
I've been replaying this game and I'm at 90hrs Ch9 and am just aimlessly playing and having so much fun with all the systems
I just bought this and started playing a few days ago. Just rescued the one girl and got the Kingmaker. I think I am, what? Around level 12? I had no idea just how small of a distance I had gone until this vid. Legend of Zelda this is not.
Man this is a LOT more different from the first game than I ever expected.
lvl 30 and didnt even finish head for the heartlands yet lol
If anyone is stuck trying to figure out how to get the green thread for Pi Chi so she can become a citizen of Evermore the key to getting her lies in the 3rd quest in the Boddly quest line (Main story quest) as Min Ti has the green thread as a quest reward for her particular quest.
trade pebbles at the forest with higgely man to get hp
Which forest pls, I have a lot of those pebbles
Ni No Kuni teaches everything you said pretty well.
The boat is useless. You only use it for maybe a chapter. Or an hour or so before getting an airship that just completely replaces its purpose.
Should rename this list '7 things to know if you paid absolutely no attention to anything the game told you'
40 hours of playing and I never knew you could lvl up your spells or do a better version of a move? Or something I feel so stupid lol
The tactic tweeker is the best method of giving the player the power of a grate being in a game I have seen so far. A lot of games try to give some kind of supper ability that makes them feel like they are the bad ass character they are playing in game, but allot of the time they are just eye candy. You use the supper ability to survive a bit longer in a fight then thats it. This tactic tweeker makes me feel like my little guardian budy is doing more than just tossing me power boosts here and there.
SKIRMISHES, DO THEM!!
using remote play on my msi g63 stealth i8 4kvr from ps4 pro
Sigh how I wish this would get ported to the Switch but until then I guess I'll need to wait for it to go on sale for either PC or get a secondhand copy on the PS4.
Aldrin It's on sale via steam right now.
The number 1 should be: Just because you liked the first game, it doesn't mean that you'll like the second game. Not everyone love management. Screw the kingdom building.
This game was inferior to the first game imo
plot twist: you don't even really need to equip better equipment, the game is really easy ....I have basically the same set of armour i had in lvl 20~ and i'm level 50~, I use them just because they make enemies drop more equipment, this usually makes me have the best weapons with different enchants...also some good armours for more difficulty bosses (which are pretty rare).
Is the game worth buying then? It looks really cool. I am wondering if my subscribers would enjoy it or not.
wdrumz hell yeah
@@wdrumz just subbed to your channel. You are passionate about your job
This game would be perfect if it had its job system other than that im enjoying the game. currently level 15 playing for 2 hours
Doesn’t have the touch that the first game had that I loved but still fun
OK NOW IM NOT A BAD KING LIKE LORD PUGNACIOUS THANK U
Just started ni no kuni 2... so where are the things I wish I knew before starting? Things that the game hasn't already told me, that is.
Looks similar to Fable but with Studio Ghibli graphics
City Hunter not at all
Level up your battle by you so you can fight more
Flippin heck man
Are this game have played offline? Or online?
Offline
The boring thing if you're going for the platinum trophy, is that one of the trophies requires you to have
500,000 coins. Not in total over the course of the game, but at any one time.
And since money isn't that plentiful in this game (and stuff is expensive), this means that you can't afford to buy ANYTHING. At least not if you don't want to spend another 20-30 hours grinding for cash later on.
So yeah, it's not much fun putting in all this management and hard work, when one stupid trophy prevents
you from reaping your rewards.
You have to rely solely on enemy drops and your starting spells, so that sucks.
Dumb noob
Is the story related to the first game or I can start it immediately?
Please I need to know
You can start immediately as the stories are not intertwined... But I will say that the first game's story is waaaay better.
@@lieferal4984 thanks alot ❤
Nintendo Switch version, please.
I love it but keep falling asleep lol
Thank you so much, I almost got my kingdom at lvl 3 without visiting the swift solutions x3
I just hope wish this game makes its way to the switch
I think it will, the first one is available so the second would probably be ported in the future as well
@@johnpaulnatividad one could only hope yeah?
Me too
How to get a higgledy IRL?
my tips... if you still confuse check the game wiki... or google it
Level up your army
LOL, you end by stating that exact opposite, it is over complicated! hahahahahaha
Its not complicated
isn't complex ?!... oh my god I am OLD!!!!!!
the first was complex as hell and so that's why it would only make sense to ask for the same in the sequel
This isn't complex, compared to Xenoblade Chronicles 2
xenoblade is overly complex and really not enjoyable at all , spamming pouch items to level my characters is not what i want
Math G. Half correct. Xenoblade chronicles 2 takes time to get used to, it has a terrible tutorial and complex battle mechanics, but it becomes stupid easy once you understand "Driver combos" which is the meat of most of the battles you'll be in. It's a great game, with great mechanics but it has a terrible ending, and terrible villains.
Give it another shot, you might like it better if you understand the combo system better.
oh the combat i 110% understand and love it once you get the hang even the launch/smash and break the orbs thingys but it gets quite tedious and repetitive. what i feel is complex is the overall layout of the world with very different heights and the very sluggish menus , the affinity charts that you must level up by spamming pouch items , the pouch item itself i dont quite like either , the general terms used for everything too like the stats name and %%% are very confusing , the merc quests feels useless and more like work , the sidequests are meh , and the towns overcrowded with randoms shops and icons , idk , i havent played the other ones but i expected much better as i know Xeno 1 and Xeno X both are , xeno 2 is not polished at all and doesnt feel like a AAA on many levels not just graphically. but yeah the combat is basically the only thing i 110% understand and control , lol. and to add , the way to get the blades with that random loot boxish system , very wierd if not bad!! im about 6 hours in Ni No Kuni 2 and so far its pretty easy but i am simply amazed but everything and how polished and well thought it is. have like 50+ hours on xeno and i didnt enjoy much of it
For those that are familiar with both. How does this compare to the Tales series?
ChaosBlades two separate games don't go in expecting tales game play in ni no kuni just play it like it is loved the first story
Two different games yes but if you enjoy that series, dragon quest 8, blue dragon, etc then you will love this series. The first one was great. Not played this one yet but looks fantastic.
I played for a bit last night. It feels very similar to tales combat. Not as tight though. This combat feels loose and kinda fluid.
CGDavis Feels more like Kingdom Hearts than Tales. Tales has a more skill oriented combat. This game has a lot of skills, but I actually don't use them very often, unless against a boss or high HP mob. Using magic makes my character more open to being hit, and usually a couple quick light attacks+ a heavy or two will kill most any normal mob without taking any damage. Although you sometimes do need to dodge a couple times. I kind of prefer it than spamming something like Sonic thrust over and over. That said I'm only in the 3rd chapter and who knows how crazy it'll get, but as of now I'm level 14 and nothing has been impossibly difficult.
Well he asked specifically about tales so... Not sure if he's played KH before.
Sad to see such a great game being ignored by PS4 gamers just like the 1st one...Wrong audience i guess. Hopefully they announce a Nintendo port at E3, it would be huge on Switch
you do know this is exclusive right?
Hpw is the difficulty? Every gameplay i see looks like a cake walk...even bosses. Like they tickle you if you ever do get hit
Kyle Tilley I wouldnt know,i over leveled myself to feel like a badass.
Kyle Tilley Not too challenging if you use mechanics available to you, I have been underleveled for a few bosses and it didn't even feel hard, just kind if average. There are challenging opponents but if you want the main quest to be harder I recommend staying underleveled a good bit
Pantsalonis who cares, it would be better on switch
Heh..
I've been waiting for a long time
And I'm not disapointed.
Oh and first
TacticalTooter nice
What game did I just buy....
please react fast should i buy this or fatal bullet
this :)
This.
both are fun.but rather play this first
T H I S
if you find the game too easy dont equip any armor or accessories, use low powered weapons..
That is not exciting at all... Not is not the way you played it... The developers should fix the difficulty from the start... Now that they fix it i think it is still a little bit easy
Not complex?
Anyone, can i play this without play the first?
Tomsky yeah this is a completely new story so you should be fine man, think of final fantasy with each new entry having a new cast of characters and story.
Adam Velazquez okey thanks for helping me out, now im eager to play this.
Tomsky yeah anytime and I'm getting it tomorrow since I liked the first one alot, would definitely check it out if your a fan if JRPGs.
its worth playing one if you have a chances but yes u dont need to
Yes
you have to put a big spoiler alert!!! :@
No shit Sherlock the game explains all this.
Is it possible to change the character voices in the PS4 version of the game from English to Japanese? I ask that question because I absolutely hate the ultralocalised English dubs of Japanese-language mass media, such as animated films and video games, or of any non-English-language mass media, for that matter, because it puts us Anglophone people in a silo isolated from the world. Before people think I am a weeaboo, I would like to confirm them that I also absolutely hate the Japanese dubs of non-Japanese-language mass media, for the same reason I hate English dubs of non-English-language mass media, that they are both being ultralocalised to the point of putting audiences of these respective languages in their own respective silos isolated from the world. This is something I would really like to know before purchasing the game, because the walkthroughs of the game on CZcams never showed the Options menu, and it is so difficult to find a video that does show the Options menu. A bit more info there may be helpful. Thank you.
I can't play this till april since it's my birthday but I already have the game and I preordered it so it's a early birthday present.
A little overwhelming.
if this is overwhelming you should stick to checkers
Kuni my Cuni
make money is easy
sooo u were a noob before playing this?
Just waiting for the PC version to unlock at 6pm CET...
waiting for it to be cracked ;)
Codex >.< but seriuosly support the devs and buy the game, NO Denuvo=instant buy
same
welp...totally dont have the money to buy it.... but i got the pc to easily run this shit....sorry totally gonna have to pirate this one tbh. Maybe once things get on track for me moving forward i may buy it just to support devs.
Tempest don't pirate, you garbage waste of air
🤔
The tutorial explains evrything its the own mistake when you ignore them or only read the half
I swear it's like you guys are speaking Japanese...this seems a bit overwhelming
Tactic Tweaker, omg why put that in the game😖
Bc It helps with grinding?
Sam???
Half Life 4 Confirmed Serious sam?👀
Nice meh I'm second cool
Taxation is theft though 😫
Morals.... Conflicted...
Jacabo Blanco In this game, based on how you end up gaining citizens, I’d say that it’s probably a more ideal situation than typical taxes, with the citizens working together with the crown to make their kingdom a better place.
if u regard eg building hospital to help poor as completely useless then u might think ur being robbed but what makes ur happiness more important than 1000s of poor people? it's just a blind assumption. Wealth should be distributed so that it does the maximum good eg a rich person doesn't need to buy another 5 cars if they already have 5 cars
4 hours in and struggling to keep playing. Loved the first game but this one is a bit of a mess
I didn't play the first but this is average yet keeps drawing me back. It's better than FFXV cos of its variety but it's story is it's Achilles heel.
VJ4rawr2 same, I’m so bored
Biggest tip is dont waste your money games a bore
8. Evan is a boy. So don't be faked by female voice actor. Typical Boku situation.
Tbh just saying
Who thought the king was a girl
I havent watched ni no kuni in a long time
1st one is better!
thanks for nothing
can I change to japanese voice, the english dub seem awful
Akira Kiryu you most definitely can, although the english dub is not awful at all
Chua Chee Ee hahaha. I know what you mean. XD
fyi the names of characters and places also change
english dub is very good , just take a look at xenoblade to see terrible VA
Cue Evan "OH MY GOOODNESSS"
This is just stupid
Upgrading SPells isnt worthy, skills are more usefull than spell, which sucks, this game just dissapoints on almost everything it try to do.
I dont want to play as some cringy neko, reverse trap. You can say that that's a boy, but that THING doesn't look like a dude at all.
