Read moreI played Ni No Kuni a long time ago, and I still remember parts of it like I played it yesterday. The game really stuck with me. It's a great RPG, though not without its shortcomings. The story and graphics reminded me of a Studio Ghibli movie, which was in no way a bad thing. It may seem geared toward kids, but it packs more than a few deep moments in there. The music was amazing. One of my all-time favorite soundtracks, to be sure. If there were one area where the game falters, I'd have to say it is in the combat. It seems like a Pokemon-style combat system at first, where you control monsters to fight for you. However, your teammates' AI leaves much to be desired. Later in the game, you get a way to make them more manageable, but some fights are still a struggle. Granted that was the only detriment I have to make to an otherwise outstanding game.
