Digital's MASSIVELY delayed reaction: Ni No Kuni.
While you guys were busy playing Ni No Kuni, I was busy watching Mila Kunis in Oz the Great and Powerful and videos of Milla using Supreme Elements on YouTube. Admittedly I should have picked it up sooner, but eh, a lot of other stuff really caught my attention.
Anyways, I'm not very far in the game yet, so here are my first impressions:
-This game has Ghibli written ALL OVER it. I've played the previous game Level 5 worked with Studio Ghibli on. Jeanne d'Arc looked a little more like Castle in the Sky or Princess Mononoke in tone. (...Unless Cussises was on screen. :P ) This is more like Spirited away with somewhat normal humans compared with wacky disproportional toony characters.
-This is definitely level 5 as well. It shows. One thing I liked in Jeanne d'Arc was how you would see the other characters around sometimes. (Even in some of the animated scenes - like how they are escaping, and you can see Gilles de Rais and La Hire making sure that Marcel, Colet, and Jean escape first.) Lots of activity on the screen at once.
-Great dubbing choice - Oliver SOUNDS like a kid!
-Excuse the HCBailly channeling here. It's definitely nice how the game drops you in on the action that you wanted to see. IT doesn't make you play through the characters' entire childhood like TALES OF GRACES! It also doesn't take like, forever for Oliver to get to the other world like in the book BRAVE STORY! (Don't take this as take-thats to the game and the book - interpret them as more playful jabs because I actually really liked those.)
-Did I miss an NPC say "Oliver don't worry your mom too much - she has a weak heart" or something? Allie's heart attack seemed to come out of left field. It was like...
"Well Oliver. That's great. You're safe. ACK! Did I mention that I have a weak heart?"
"NO! It's For Better or For Worse all over again!"
I'm willing to think I might have missed something - MAYBE it would have been TOO Blatant.
-ahahaha... I signed the pledge "Tip Dover". And I named my first Familiar "Wudge". Ahahahaha... hey at least I don't abuse the naming feature to name my character "PissBagel".
-Ah, that miracle stone. Sure I'd love to try it mr Scottish doll... the boss just has to get OUT OF THE WAY!!! I can't turn on noclip!
