Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch

[Zendervai]

So I've finally been able to play it since my friend visited. I really like it. Oliver is kind of dense, but it looks really pretty and the story is interesting so far, along with a pretty good battle system. But the difficulty does spike after reaching the desert.

It's funny, he's dense as shit til literally the end of the game, then out of nowhere he fucking knows EVERYTHING.

The difficulty is retardedly unbalanced.

I HATE GAMES THAT GIVE YOU A TUTORIAL ON HOW TO MOVE WITH THE LEFT STICK.  YOU MUST BE A LEVEL-A GRADE RETARD TO NOT FIGURE THIS OUT AT LEAST WITHIN FIVE SECONDS./rant

wait until you get a little freedom to start exploring..... not only are areas accessible with baddies who completely own you before you can select "escape" but a few boss battles that followed left me coffee-less and nickle and diming em' with straight up physical attacks praying for healing sphere drops to survive.... i'm a gluten for this kinda stuff... luv it

That's what happens when you have too many sandwiches. Coffee is gluten-free after all, nyuck nyuck.

I only use the D-pad. :( This confused me when I tried to move the first time.

I played an hour of so or this, but then I got notification that my copy of Fire Emblem will arrive tomorrow, and that gets precedent for me. Mr.Drippy's Welsh accent is cute.

Game is fun, though I have to say the "comedy" routine during a certain segment in the game was particularly awful.  The game has limited voice acting, and I can't believe they dedicated that much of it to so much unfunny.  You know those moments in movies or TV shows where it cuts in to the tail end of a joke and everyone is laughing and allegedly are having a great time?  It was like that, except you were there for the entire five minute routine from start to finish and everyone in the scene is laughing hysterically, and you, the onlooker for this piece of entertainment media, is left completely bored wondering where the funny is.  There had to be something lost in translation.

Good god, I seriously can't get over how bad that was.  Why.  WHY.

I actually thought the comedy routine scene was a good parody of weird euro-humor.... which I actually like even though I never really find it funny... just weird.... LoL

[Zendervai]

I thought it was funny.

My WE shipped last Saturday and should be at my parent's soon :D

I don't really care about the art cards or coin, I just wanted the book.

[Dice]

I'd actually pay money *just* for the book.

Meanwhile, here's a jpeg/PDF version of the whole thing.  Fuck it's so damn beautiful


*Star Edit*

Bad, Dice. Naughty Dice.

[Zendervai]

It's the same as the one in the game, right?

Given how good the translation is for the most part, I figure whatever you're talking about was likely WORSE in Japanese.

That, or as noted it came out as some Euro thing.
