Originally posted by billy_dimashq View PostAfter watching Ghibli's new film on Friday I decided I want to get this. In terms of J-Skillz, I've been managing fine with JP Shenmue in Children Mode(plus I already played it in English so know the plot) but am hoping the Japanese in this should be straightforward.
Not sure whether to get this or the DS one, though. I noticed you recommended getting both for the complete story but I find it strange that a game made for two completely different platforms by competing companies would do something like that. But seeing as I'm pondering getting shot of my DS, maybe I should stick with the PS3 one?
Also, worried about it being an RPG. I'm rubbish with RPGs and have a habit of not finishing them
lol I wanted to get Yakuza on PS2 and hilariously hoped it would have a Children Mode despite being an 18
They could've put an Adult Foreigner Mode in, though!
The hard part now is deciding weither to cave in & go import or wait till next year, the one thingthat might put you off is the ps3 version is not cheap on import. In fact most new ps3 stuff on import is rocking at the ?60 mark on play asia.

Woohoo! Demo of Ni No Kuni will be available on PSN next wednesday! It will contain two levels and two boss battles.
Update: The demo will be out here on Wednesday - it is confirmed by Namco Bandai.The demo offers up two levels and two …
I so hope this game will bring back the glory days of JRPGs.
Edit: Whoops, was supposed to post this in Headlines.

Tried the demo. Really does feel like a classic old-school Japanese RPG, without the random battles though thankfully. Lovely clean interface and menus, charming characters. Definitely going to be purchasing at some point, if not necessarily on day one. Best thing was that you can choose the Japanese voice-track, which saves having to put up with that dreadful professional hwnto Rhod Gilbert as the lamp-nosed mini-monster thing (still have the Welsh colloquialisms in the text, though).

I found out that the boy (Oliver?) was much stronger than the little familiar. I first tried the forest boss with the familiar and got whacked and then tried again with the kid and won easily with his spells. Also, you can move on the battlefield to avoid getting hit. At first I didn't even realise it so I just stood there and got my a*** kicked.Last edited by Guts; 13-12-2012, 18:10.

Some enemies will be harder to beat with oliver as they are more resistant to his magic, the imagines you raise can turn the tide of a battle depending on their elemental alignment. A la pokemon.
Each boss has a specific way of getting the chance time to appear, during that time you can get loads of free hits in. Not sure if the demo has the shift phases in where you can press a button & have everyone go into defence mode or attack mode. Really useful when a boss is about to unleash a devastating attack.Last edited by importaku; 13-12-2012, 18:20.
