Like everything about it except that chibi look for the over world stuff. Or whatever that is. I haven't followed the game much.

Definitely not digging the look of the characters on the overworld or the town building aspects, but I'll wait a couple months after release to see what the general consensus seems to be.

Battle system still looks really simple and boring. The wars seem more interesting, but that's not a huge compliment.

I only watched briefly, but it seems like the game is really more than just traditional rpg with things like town management and some light rts element. Interesting.

Sounds like the usual Level-5 console JRPG. They usually have a lot of decently deep town building elements (Georama) and other kind of systems like photography, invention and minigames. The first Ni no Kuni was kind of lacking in that regard.

I'm so in. I really really dig the aesthetic to this game. Just different enough from the first but equally charming and detailed. Much as I've enjoyed Xenoblade 2, I'm craving a game with serious old school world map exploration.

As long as it runs faster and better than the first one. The first one is one of the only games to ever put me to sleep.

But why Chibi overworld? Whyyy? The first game had it perfect.

I hate the Chibi stuff with all of my heart.

This is legit making my hype goes down... the town building stuff and the war RTS(?) stuff doesnt interests me in the slightest too.

I just wanted a better Ni no Kuni 1... why add all these stuff no one asked for? More importantly, WHY CHIBI CHARACTERS IN THE OVERWORLD?

Also, did anyone think the music that started when they show the town building stuff is extremely reminiscent of Dragon Quest's main theme? It is like... really, really similar.

Give it to me now! This so far is my most anticipated title of 2018! Absolutely so excited it's not too far off.

Ugh Chibi.

But I do love the Suikoden like element of building up a town/castle and war battles.

Well halfway between Dark Cloud and Suikoden.

The beginning is rhythmically similar but other than that it's pretty different. The DQ theme sounds more triumphant whereas this is a but more whimsical.

The overworld style is definitely worth critiquing. Why change what the first one did so well?

I've had this game pre-ordered since that insane B2G1 debacle at GameStop. Glad it's finally coming out in March or whatever!

and to the people absolutely freaking out about the different art style on the overworld, please do it more.

Really pretty. The top down town building stuff is what I dream Pokemon Switch will look like.

Still really not convinced about the RTS looking thing, but I'll live.

Complete media blackout on this, but I'm sure it still looks phenomenal. Can't wait for late March.

Having a 3DS sorta got me used to all the Chibi stuff, so it doesn't bother me, think it is supposed to be more endearing that way actually.
