Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch

[Lard]

Well, my WE of NNK shipped on the 11th.
It hasn't arrived yet, and when I contacted Amazon.de they said "We don't know where it is".

They gave me a full refund, so that's something, but it's kind of a drag that I'm not getting the game. :(

Just got this yesterday. Only had a chance to play for a few hours but I absolutely love the look of it so far! The music is also really really good.

That's the saddest answer ever....

And Dye: enjoy!

I just gotta say, 52 hours in here.... and this game has not even become remotely stale to me!!! I have yet to even have a desire to put anything else in (and that is tough with Tales of Vesperia and Skies of Arcadia, both recently acquired, staring down from my shelf at me).....

I'm not saying peoples complaints about this title have not been valid... but truly what game isn't void of some flaws, with the exception of FF6 and chrono trigger-LoL (that was a joke folks.... please don't let an onslaught of CT and FF hate ensue....)..... flaws and all Ni No is a true RPG gem to me...

I have just.....

.... beaten shadar and saw everyone in ding dong dell turn into creatures thanks to the white witch! I was really curious to see how she entered the picture and I love how they sort of set up that "false ending" type of vibe while all the while your going in the back of your mind "are they really gonna leave so many questions unanswered for the possibility of direct sequel or is there more to this???".... lets face it, most plot twists become relatively predicatable as they draw near so it really boils down to execution for me.... this one, was executed well in my book

Well that is all I gotta say..... I freakin' love this game.

DOOD SPOILERS, OMG

lol, picked the wrong forum thingy Klyde.

I just got to that part too.  Will probably tackle more this weekend.

Fixed it for him, and without glancing at too much! Though a big plot point was spoiled for me anyway by one of the most childish pieces of shit I've ever seen online.

Holy heck guys, I AM SOOOOOO SORRY..... I feel like I should change my avatar to a picture of photon with "idiot" marker-printed on his forehead..... I can't believe I used the wrong forum code yesterday..... I usually double check my posts via preview  but I was in a rush to get to a tattoo yesterday......

All I can say is I screwed up big time.... thank goodness it doesn't appear my mishap ruined things for anyone....

Eusis, thank you so much for fixing that for me.... Your my hero now and I wish to reward you.... when I've got time (probably this saturday or sunday) I will dig through some of my RPG merchandise and find something to send you as a gift :) I'll PM you so as not to clog-up the topic with pictures of import keychains and figurines-LoL

This was serious business.... people have done bad things to me and life, but those who have spoiled RPG's on me are the only ones I have held grudges against, LoL....

Sorry, and thank you all sincerely for your forgiveness.

Oh it wasn't THAT huge a spoiler. All you spoiled was how stuff happened, if you actually played the game, you saw it coming a mile away.

I just put myself in the position of having what I said spoiled... and when I do that, I think I would want to kill me.....

In any event, I can't say I really saw all that coming. Then again (as demonstrated in this thread) I'm clearly not the sharpest player on block now am I-LoL

Late to the party as usual, but after @15 hours in (and yes, I take my time playing games, just now "recruited" Esther) my early impressions are very favorable. The battles, so far, are fun, yet challenging. The various side quests and bounties don't seem to take too much backtracking (at least so far, I completed all in Ding Dong Dell and have only one more in Al Mamoon) and the animation style I am in love with! I do have one small question though. Should I hoard the treats for later familiars or are they pretty easy to come by (I know I can buy them but money does seem to be a bit sparse so far)? Anyhow, so far I am loving this game, and hopefully the love fest continues, although it seldom does it seems, lol.

Same here, absolutely LOVING this game so far. The combat system is just wonderful, the beautiful animation is just a bonus. But I know a lot of folks have issues later and I've got a long way to go. :-D

But so far? It's just great.

Bytor, everything I've seen says that you can feed your familiars all you want, you probably won't run out.  My issue on that front has been more that I've changed familiars frequently since I got to start catching them.

The stat bonuses are fairly inconsequential in the grand scheme of things so I wouldn't worry about it.  The most important part of the food is getting the familiarity hearts up so you can gain an extra skill slot.  Honestly the starting familiars work pretty well.  I kept mine in the active party and still use Mitey even though I'm at the end of the game. 

Money eases up pretty quick as long as you don't overstock on things.  Equipment is often found in dungeons so I wouldn't worry too much if there's equipment you can't afford.
