Humbling game - with little quirks

Almost by chance, I have scoured the PS3 store my friend and came across the demo of the game. At the beginning of me the picture of the little boy has rather put off, it gave the impression of a child's game, and that has obviously proven otherwise out.
Curious, we then alluded to the demo - and were the least enthusiastic said. I've lost the demo battle, but the scenery, the graphic design blew me away. We then informed us and after one week, I came home from work, the game was a gift from my friend on the table.

First I want to mention that I now're thirteen years mainly Playing and accordingly certain end levels, as well as criteria have. Too often I was disappointed with RPGs were announced which large and with bang, but disappointed in certain criteria have (FF13).

I like to play role-playing games, just because the story is important, my best girl-friend who does not play, I always try to explain it with the playable books. My priorities are therefore a compelling story and the associated setting.

Ni No Kuni definitely makes much right! Not without reason it has touched me and I was the last of Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 was.

Graphics: The Studio Ghibli has the around it all done with his concept art and correctly. The developers have implemented everything wonderful. How many times I sat there overwhelmed and have my friend stopped to look at the area with. The graphics are usually secondary to me, but when Ni No Kuni is not about to admire the look and just be comfortable can. This wonderfully created cities, places and dungeons bring even now to my heart glow. It is so detailed and designed in love without being overloaded.
Full 10/5 points

Sound: Here, too, the development team has to splash out and one of the most famous (and in my opinion best) composers brought on board. How many times has my friend told me to make time louder, it sounds so wonderful, he was even more enthusiastic than I am. Truly a masterpiece and a perfect fit to the different settings.
5/5 points

Story: I must say that I was a little disappointed by the conclusion did not think my friend there as another embodiment, unfortunately. I also had the feeling that the story in between sometimes briefly subsided by then further progress to sail full steam. By that I do not Spoiler: pushing gripping, exciting, emotional and partly surprising, now and then, however, the lengths of the thread a little aside.
4/5 points

Kamp system: Quick and easy to understand, clean and well thought out, reminds me of the Tales series. However, we can use the familiar help us fight the magic and Ollis be strong until the end really.
4/5 points

Setting and all the other matter:
PUH! The further we go forward, the more we turn naturally free.

It is worth mentioning again because of course the system with the familiar. A great idea that brings new life into the whole thing and I recalled something Pokemon. You can feed them, thereby strengthening and they evolve. In addition, there is a fairly wide choice of confidant, which are also listed in the magical companion. From giant colossi to zucchini (I love my fairies) there is a huge range (divided into different classes).

The magical companion is a book that Olli leads around with you and us to different things provides information (on which I have often accessed, so it is not useless!).

There are different types of boxes. Red are normal, with not so rare items. Green boxes can be opened only by means of a team member and blue and purple go only using Ollis spells.

Later, you get access to the casino nor spoilers, can tap interesting items at the man, should be a hold happiness.

Ni No Kuni is so huge, I think I'm going to end here and still provide a brief summary.

Negatives:
- The fights can be very demanding especially in the boss mobs, although I've played on easy, I had died before I had vorgelevelt
- In between splashes the story time to herself before she gets upswing again
- The characters are very likable, but stereotypically designed
- The connection of new team members is sometimes drawn right-fetched
- The connection of the last team member is very late and then can no longer be so easy to insert in the group, especially when one has leveled etc.
- The AI ​​is not always the brightest ...

Positives:
- Emotional story (my heart did a set of öffteren)
- Perfelte musical Untermahlung
- Stunning graphics
- Alchemy is a wonderful and useful idea
- A lot of quests (I've made all until the end)
- Familiar super system
- Breathtaking cities / dungeons
- Wide range of objects of any kind
- Droplets is one of the highlights - his humor made me laugh on a regular basis
- Successful German localization

While it's not perfect, but close. I'm hoping for a Fortsetung.

Ps: Levelt but with Poko, pokopoko and Eispokos that give a lot of experience and tens of higher level can be very good use I in this game.
This review reflects my view of things again;)
