Video at Amazon.com View Ni no Kuni had already since the announcement of the US and EU release with high expectations mess and yes it's finally here .. FINALLY !! I have long gone about a game appearing happy like Ni no Kuni. Whether and how much is met or exceeded my expectations learn her now. And to make it ever anticipate. Yes, my expectations were met across the board and even far more than exceeded. How much and how long I had to wait and we PS3 players on a really good JRPG that came along with the strengths of the old classic games. Yes, unfortunately, for too long. But for the long and nerve-wracking wait gelohnt..mehr than worth it.

The Story ..
..beginnt with the main character named Oliver. Oliver is an ordinary boy. No with muskelbespikter hero, no one with any special abilities NO Oliver is just Oliver. A normal boy in a normal world "it seems". It all begins with a tragic accident. Oliver's mother dies unexpectedly by a stressful situation, leaving behind her son. Trost however Oliver found only by his stuffed animal that he had received earlier by his mother. Through the sadness of his great and painful loss brings a tear to be stuffed animal to life and just called this stuffed animal droplets explains Oliver, that not all was lost. There would be a way to save his dead mother. He should "the other world" travel with him in, in his world, in the "Ni no Kuni".

The Ni no Kuni ..
..is namely a so-called parallel world. And precisely in this Ni no Kuni live the likeness of every human being from the world of Oliver. So does that mean in plain language .. Oliver's mother is still alive. However, only in "the other world". So he declared droplets, the Lord of the fairies that he enchanted by sinister Fuerst Shadar and was exiled in Olivers world as a stuffed animal. And not only that, he tells the boys with even that his mother's soul mate in the parallel world is and Oli these only had to find. Now your goal is clear. Your travels to the "Ni no Kuni" to look not only to your mother, but also to quell the evil Shadar and to rid the country from the clutches of the white queen.

The gameplay ..
now ..is not really something new. Your controls Oliver as in other games per stick, flying on the back of a scaly dragon or sailing a ship through the Huge Ni no Kuni. Defeating cute monster by real-time combat in a nearby customized battle arenas. Climb on high peak, explored vast desert dunes, several dungeons, defeated numerous boss monsters, take on side quests Ettlich part, collects and tames various confidant or simply follow the main story. There was not a game in the last few years with so many Nebenbeschaeftigungen ascended as Ni no Kuni. The game takes you in every way by the hand and lead you step by step to the respective situations approach.

The combat system ..
Compare ..kann man about with titles like "Tales of Graces f" or "Eternal Sonata". In the Echtzeitkaempfen you can switch between Oliver or your other colleagues Sven and Esther. Furthermore, you choose between different actions such as "attack", "magic", "defend", "tactic", "supplies" or "flee" from. You can always cancel your actions to take with the "Defend" capability of a strong attack a boss enemy the wind out of the sails. It is important also that all actions such as "attack or" defend "have a cooldown phase. So does that mean if an action selected and immediately afterwards again the same action (or another) would like Run, you have to wait a few seconds . Have you won a fight, gets her valuable experience points that immenz for the upgrade of your character are important. But not only for your hero, but also for your confidant ..

The confidant ..
..sind namely so-called monster that does not fight against you but with you. This monster can compare man pretty well with the Pokemon from earlier. The confidants have depending on Monster various tricks (special attacks). These tricks have is supportive deffensive and offensive action. The girl Esther also gets the ability to "bewitch" can we "catch" the different monsters in the later game. Are the monsters once on our side, we can replace the loophole system and replace. Up to 400 monster we can replace with this system. Rises one of our "confidant" to a next level to learn this new special moves or abilities. With the "Kreaturenkaefig" We can also customize our Monster. So we raise with some snacks (candy), the status values ​​of our confidant, or develop it in the next level. Each monster "confidant" has namely like Pokemon 3 forms. Approximately from the Squirtle -> Wartortle -> Blastoise principle.

Otherworld ..
..in the Ni no Kuni, there are still more than the monster breeding or fighting. To explore their different areas of the truly great Ni no Kuni. For example, new paths, spooky cemeteries, dizzying mountain tops, Dungeons, hot long desert dunes, gigantic cities seething Vulkanschluende, hidden villages, enchanted forests, snow-capped Weihnachtstraeume and more! Or do you use for example "around magic" to get to the places you had not yet accessible. Your completed one of the many quests and side quests on the bulletin boards. Help other residents in their little problems, or experimenting with the menu item "boiler" with the respective items found. Here you can even prove to you as a lab rat, thus bringing the most diverse things such as "weapons", "equipment", "provisions". Or do you use (if available) just a formula. However, second option is not so exciting .. ^^

Emotions ..
..sind also here in "Ni no Kuni" an extremely large keyword. And why ?? Clearly .. all people in the parallel world are connected to the people of Olivers hometown "Motor Ville". Has, for example, a Ni no Kuni residents a problem, we travel back to motor Ville Oliver to help its image. Or another example. In Ni no Kuni lacks a city guard in front of the locked main gate of enthusiasm, his colleague beside him but only so before bursting zest. That's why we use the ability "Heart received" something of enthusiasm guard 2 refer to and "give heart" with the ability to give guard 1. This is namely to the benefit so much that it opens us the castle gate, and we can continue our path.

Still worth mentioning ..
..waeren the great Zwischenseqenzen. These are both animated and in game graphics (the Ghibli Studio thanks be) available. Speaking of graphics, this one comes with an anime touch and therefore simply looks gorgeous. Both towns, dungeons, cemeteries, catacombs, mountains, volcanoes, islands, the sky and the ocean .. all is full of love for detail, just great! From the soundtrack and background music to mention, everything here is all of a piece. If I flop by fawning and listen to the music and the soundscape just come up memories of the old days of former JRPGs. Class !! So we come to ..

..meinem Conclusion ..
..Ni No Kuni is like many other RPGs told with heart and feeling. With a lot of suffering and a Achterbahtfahrt of emotions. Sadness, frustration but also hope and happiness, which to convey everything and more creates Ni no Kuni with flying colors the player. Not every game has me so much packed and carried away as Ni no Kuni immediately. It took a long, a good year I had at this jewel games .. wait and the wait was worth it then at the end ?! Yes, it was definitely !! I'm not finished far with Ni no Kuni .., there is still so much to be admired, as well as discover. With nearly 100 hours for the whole package (main quest - side quests) the purchase price in my opinion is more than justified. Here he can also get the role players more than many Shooterfan for his money. TOP GAME !! Clear and unambiguous recommendation to buy !! Thank you Thank you Thank you Studio Ghibli & Level 5 that your "gift" to us this game have bombs. The trailer of "Ni no Kuni" is attached!
