I've made it 45 minutes in and enjoyed it so far, but man ResetEra is scaring me here.
Is there at least any precedent for Level 5 adding difficulty options in a patch?

Skirmishes are a pain, some are locked behind sidequests (roughly 20 of them) the others are scattered around the world map. They randomly change up after a certain have been finished so you'll need to teleport and fly all over the place. If you are unsure if you've done it simply try to start it and if it has the option to attempt a hard mode is there then you've done it already, hard modes don't count.
Outside evermore is also a randomly appearing one that is called Invaders in Evermore. It starts at 1 and goes up to about 7. So make sure you're doing that. I did every side quest one and every single one on the map and my trophy only popped after I finished the 7th Invaders skirmish. So good luck.
If I were enjoying more the game, or was longer, or the kingdom building was necessary to have a better experience, I would complete it, but doing for the sake of watching shinier buildings and more NPCs it's not enough for me.
My main problem with the game is that I've been playing lots of JRPG the last months, and while NNK2 is charming and good-looking, it falls short almost on every aspect I want from an JRPG, and that the last games I played provided to me a lot better.
How different is this game from the first one? I really don't know if I'm in the mood for it.
I actually loved the first one, but it was mostly because of the mood I was in at the time. It felt like a SNES RPG upgraded to modern graphics without a lot of the baggage introduced by PlayStation-era RPGs. I liked that it brought back the overworld and didn't have a combat system or story that was too far up its own ass.

This is defo one of the top JRPGs for me this gen, though the competition has been utterly disappointing tbh. Persona and Xenoblade being both disappointing and the latter just completely dull and tedious.
Now on Ch8 at 42 hrs in. The last bit took a bit of an unexpected turn in the story but I knew something was up and all is well again. My Kingdom is slowly becoming a metropolis. I'm surprised there's anyone else out there in the world after I've taken them all haha. But more side quests to complete now before I proceed. There's so much to do. Kingdom building is certainly addictive. And I really enjoy the skirmishes. They're pretty easy really. Although one I haven't been able to do as the guy keeps getting away. Not sure what I need to do on this one.
And flippin pebbles, mun!

In which way? Combat? Story? I dont think White Witch is a bad game at all, I'm just bored with how old school it is
ahh well, bought it, i know it's a "easy" game but i mostly want to play it for the adventure part, a bit pricey but i don't think i have anything i want to get in the next few months.
Not sure about best deal, but it's $51 on Fanatical, $68 for the Prince's edition.

Story is pretty bad. The combat is simple and real-time, and pretty easy if you don't care about optional stuff.
It doesn't have the charm from the first game, neither the good OST or the funny characters.
It has more tolerable gameplay, but that's the only thing (aside from graphics) that the game does better than the first one, and even so it's nothing special.
Ouch, Okay. I guess its time for Xenoblade after Im done with White Witch then
BTW, the music is my least favorite part of the OG. I love Joe Hisaishi but I feel like most of the music doesnt fit the game (first dungeon, in the forest being a particular bad choice of music track)
Thanks for the replies :)
I feel the same, I love Nausicaa, Spirited Away, Howl's... OST but the first Ni no Kuni doesn't capture the same magic.
The second game is far worse in this aspect, there's a few remixes of the first game's main theme but most of the other tracks are pretty bad.
Wow, was not expecting this many. Had found one for everyone, and thought that was it.
At like 120 side quests completed now... On the home stretch for the platinum.
Also, I loved the music in the first game!
Ok, I just reached
Also, I still really love the design of the place
Ding Dong Dell. I'm going to be very unhappy if the story ends up with him forgiving everyone for killing his dad and letting the mice keep it.

It's totally possible (and not even hard, just annoying long) to beat the last boss 20 levels below him.
I really liked the game, but I couldn't stand the writing. Skipped a LOT of text and I usually don't do that, especially not in rpgs. Maybe I will do the side Quests. The Kingdom Building is the best part of the game and the thing that kept me motivated. I would like to complete it but only if the post game fetch work isn't too bad.

You don't need to do all sidequests to get the platinum.
I just hit chapter 5 and am feeling like I'll get burned out with the amount of "busy work" the game seems to want to make you do in the form of side quests. Does anyone have a good feeler on if I really need to be doing all these side quests, or are they mostly optional?
I think it's more that I don't want to get stuck towards the end of the game because I should have done XYZ quest to gain some citizen or level up a kingdom facility earlier, and have to wait on the timers.
the only ones you want to do is the ones for recruiting citizens as late game there is a gate for the kingdom building to let you advance. So don't forget about advancing your kingdom as you're playing.
You'll be fine, if you don't want to do any of the side quests you don't have to. Rush the main story if you're not about those fetch quests.
You kinda do, actually. You need at least 50 citizens and a fair bit of KG to progress in the final chapter.
Is this game crazy demanding or something? Have never heard the fans on my PS4 Pro this loud.
the item progression is garbage in this game towards the end. to make the third highest set of gear you need to be able upgrade the gathering buildings to level three. to do that you need the castle at level four. to do that you need to have one hundred citizens and by the time you get there you've probably done 98% of the game at that point. meaning there's really only one location left which is pretty easy with whatever gear you have and that's where you get the items to get the highest and second highest level of gear...except there's not much left to use it on. and the drop rates for the items are pretty bad so you'd have to go through at the very least tens of times for a couple weapons and armor and even more for the highest level higgilies, which don't even seem that worthwhile anyways.
I'm seriously baffled by the negative points people brought up. It seems to me many things pointed out can be easily found in many other highly regarded games.
Fetch quests? par the course with other JRPGs. XCX was the only recent one that did well in this regard, kinda.
Combat? It's pretty easy especially early on, but at least it's quick.
Enemy variety? Doesn't seem to matter much with BotW, or Xenoblade 2. What's the difference between bunny, crabble, crustip, lysatt, etc when you pretty much do the same thing everytime?
Story? Story could have been better. It's dumb. But it doesn't pretend to be deep unlike many JRPGs.
The biggest flaw and many deem very fatal is the difficulty which messed up the progression system. No denying that.
But, is it really hard to think, that not everyone find this such a big deal?

Does the research timer continue while I'm out questing, or do I have to be managing my kingdom the whole time?
I am pretty sure this is the best looking game I have ever seen. Running it at 1440p on PC with max settings and HDR on my 65" TV is blowing me away.
THANK. GOD.
I figured it did, but I wanted to make sure. Thank you for the info!
I'd love to have these money and item salaries in every RPG, lol.
Ita pretty hard actually, right in the middle of the game. I had to fucking grind to be able to fight with bigger monsters (side or main quests).
Story is meh, characters are ok, villain is meh, visuals are nice, combat was nice, but that fucking grinding man and difficulty inbalance. I probably wont touch thus game again :/

Just beat the game, clocking in at 50 hours(did a ton of side quest), and I can safely say this is going to be one of my favorite games of the generation. Honestly surprised by some of this negativity bustling around this title, but different strokes I guess.
The story was entertaining from beginning to end. Not perfect, but enjoyable. Great cast of characters, though I can understand why people wouldn't like Evan's idealism. The gameplay was my favorite part easily, really fun yet simple. Think the games main story was a bit easy, and I figured it had to do with me being over leveled for most of the game, but it's been easy for most here apparently. Skirmishes were a shockingly entertaining mini game, and I thought the kingdom building was a great addition(would've been better if you could map out your kingdom to your liking though). Then it's all wrapped together in some seriously gorgeous wrapping paper, as this is easily one of the prettiest JRPGs I've played. All in all, I'd highly recommend this title to a JRPG fan, really great package overall.

Awww squiggle bottoms, I knew my kind weren't welcome here =/
I don't see a single instance where someone is jumping on someone for enjoying the game. We're all glad you are. I wish I enjoyed it just as much.
There's no reason for these remarks or to "even out" this thread with one type of opinion. Your feelings are just as valid as anyone else's.

is this on PC? i don't get this IQ on PS4 Pro. this picture just looks sublimeThe game's bursting with color, so good.
If your building is maxed out, has everything researched and your citizens are maxed out too then there isn't any reason to have them in anything other than material farming buildings.
