I'm up to chapter 5 and the game is still really easy. I just go around collecting drops instead of fighting while the AI mops up everyone else.
5 hours in, I don't need the game to get hard but a step up from braindead would be nice. I've never played a game where bosses die this fast. It's especially jarring coming off of XC2.
This game isn't selling very well on steam at all. From the preliminary results on steamspy im guessing it will drop in the 50-75k launch sales. The steam board is also full with people not owning the game asking questions.
Seems to me this game has a piracy problem. Tales of Berseria and Sword art online did far better.
Oh the piracy card again? You did see their regional pricing right: https://steamdb.info/app/589360/
A price of $66.24 in India is absolutely ridiculous, ppl can't buy what they can't afford, regional pricing exists for this very reason. These ppl wouldn't have bought it if the game had Denuvo either simply because they can't.
25 hours and chapter 6. I've gotten my Kingdom up to a great speed, most of the level 2 buildings have been built and many building are upgraded to max level. Getting 30k KG / hour. I'm still lacking in suitable workers tho. I don't have anyone suiting for fish markets for example.
Battles have been a bit more challenging lately. Lost to the "witch" in the side quest you get from Hydropolis. Been acquiring new spells, upgraring Higgledies and brewing new ones. So much to do.
So just got to Chapter 6, confused as hell at the end of Chapter 5.
Sooo... The figures of Hydropolis agree to the marraige and then the guy joins my party and goes to evermore? What the hell that doesn't make sense. Him permanently joining the party makes absolutely no sense.

Also the game is as niche as it get's it's a very cute looking easy JRPG.
My view on piracy is that at least a moderate portion of people who pirate a thing never had the intention to pay for it in the first place. So counting those as lost sales is a flimsy scapegoat for missing targeted sales numbers.
In this case, it could just be pricing, as you said, or even that interest in JRPGs has waned. I know I don't buy as many as I used to.
Yeah, I'm playing on PC, and it's a fantastic version of the game. I can totally understand why most people are getting it on PS4, but I'm really impressed with the PC version.Shame the PC version isn't selling well because this is running buttery smooth on highest settings even on my 3-year-old rig.
Do side quests pop up on main map like skirmishes (I am assuming that's what the flag symbol is)?
They point you towards the object.Thanks! On the overmap of the map, what are the downward blue arrows?
Quick question: how good is the japanese dub compared to the english one?
I'm sure this was discussed before but the thread got sooo long.
For Xenoblade Chronicles 2 I switched to japanese after the first hour and never looked back.
That's fine, but the fact that it's not even going to do half of what Sword Art Online and Tales of Berseria were doing is worrying.Yeah, outside of those SquareEnix ones, JRPG in general has been and still is very niche on Steam.
We really can't compare it to console audience and especially here. Ni No Kuni 2 has been consistently voted as one the top 10 most anticipated games in 2 consecutive years in this forum (and the other one, assuming that the users are mostly still the same). While on the other hand, Divinity Original Sin 2 was pretty much out of the conversation here (it was #26 most anticipated game), for example. Steam numbers are showing a total opposite results as well. Divinity peaked at 90k concurrent players at launch while NNK2 peaked at 10k. Divinity sold 500k copies within a week, and I believe NNK2 will settle at 50k. It's just the way it is.
Tales of Berseria (and Zestiria) was actually doing more or less the same as Ni No Kuni 2. I remember that Berseria sold like 40k copies in its first week. Even the peak concurrent players were lower than this game. NNK2 is comparable to Zestiria with 10k peak concurrent players.That's fine, but the fact that it's not even going to do half of what Sword Art Online and Tales of Berseria were doing is worrying.
I don't want to call the piracy card as much as anyone else, but this game should sell more, different regional pricing or not.
I almost feel bad for writing this, but am I the only one who just isnt feeling this game? Maybe its the easiness, slightly generic story and not very memorable characters... cant put my finger on it. Something just feels off...?

Will do, thnx!To the person above, smelly is a random prefix on loot. Delve into the dreamer's doors and crank up the equipment drop rate in your tactic tweaker.
One question to the players who reached the Sea city...
The game improves its pacing by then?
Because I'm sick of the casino town, the last hours have been doing the quests for accessing the bookhouse and exploring the worldmap around the city.
No dungeons, only revisiting places and recruiting people in the same city...
I don't think it is a quest because that is a yellow triangle with star. I am talking about when you open the map you see locale then you can go out further for an overview of entire world.
Alright, at least the final dreamer's maze provides some challenge. And apparently enemies go above lvl 100.
I think there's HDR issues with the game. There's been a few times where the screen will randomly dim. I'll go to the ps4 menu and it'll be dim. I'll go to my TV menu and it will be fine. Messing with the TV settings don't do anything. I can fix it by turning HDR off and on again in game menu. Never had this issue with other HDR games. If it keeps happening might just keep it off.

What's the item needed for the sidequest Pontu's Ocean of Knowledge ?
Have you turned in tokens from the side quest dude in each major town for people to recruit to your town? You get a lot more just from that alone
Yes I have. Got over 10 people that way. Side quest requirements are getting harder, still haven't been able to find poisonous fish for example. But money is at least pouring in - 65k /hour

Just got the game. Fuck that stealth section, I hope that's the only time for it. The dialogue subtitle is too damn small and disappeared before I even got a chance to read it. It's like a flash. Also the hint below minimap is so annoying and there's no HUD customization. Other than that I quite like this game, especially the music.
