Just bought King's edition for £50!
Buzzing. What should I expect. Any tips for a new player?

Honestly this game is very straight forward and it does decent job telling you what's important. The game also is not very challenging on normal difficulty but thankfully they added harder difficulty on the last update.

I'm so dissapointed with this game. Haven't played the first one and the hype was over the moon for this iteration. Terrible game.

Yeah, I agree. Loved the first one so much that I instantly bought the season pass when this was announced.
Going through the DLCs now and it's just running through randomly generated dungeons fighting monsters and collecting random drops. No new areas and barely any new story. The 2nd dlc added some backstories to the old characters, but you get to experience that in such a repetitive manner, which is by running through the same arena for each story and beating random enemies. And all you see at the end is a small cutscene. All of this feels really cheap.
The main game itself barely had any cutscenes. The small clips we saw in the trailers were pretty much the length of the cutscenes. Barely any voice acting either especially considering the voice acting is one of the strengths of this series.
Overall, just seems like the devs cheated their customers. I will remember this about Level 5 going forward.

Loved this game. it could have done more and I think it did feel short of White Witch, but it still was satisfying.

Did not stay to play the dlc, even though I bought it along with the collectors edition of the game.
Definitely enjoyed the game however. Great story, great world (even if the last 2 zones were glazed over).
Very much looking forward to a new Ni No Kuni game.

Please avoid.
NNKII might have the worst jrpg story I ever seen. And I have seen a lot.

Thanks for this comment. I was considering pulling the trigger given the sale, but you've reinforced all of the misgivings I've been feeling since this released.

Heh, I picked this up 2 weeks ago, the Prince Edition for 20€. Have been playing it for the past 4 days (around 9 hours) and am enjoying it so far. Dunno how far I'll go, but I can see the hooks made for people like me. This seems like a decent endgame grinder which is what I'm usually looking for when I pick up a jRPG.

Not even close.
I'm not saying that this has a great story or even a memorable one (it's just passable) but for me JRPGs are mostly about the world/setting,characters and mostly about the journey itself.And on that front i enjoyed my time with NNK2.
Same goes with games like DQXI for example.DQXI is one of my favorite games this gen but its story was not meant to win any awards.Still a great game nonetheless.

DQXI was a blast to play, and no one buys a DQ game expecting a deep or profound story. NNK2 by all accounts fails on both gameplay and story telling.

How do you know?You said you didn't bought it.
And each to his own i guess. I personally enjoyed the gameplay (except the RTS parts)

I also enjoyed the gameplay, my biggest issue with NNK2 is your party members don't get much character development other than Roland and Evan. People complain about in Octopath party members don't interact with each other in traditional way but each character in that game gets fully developed.How do you know?You said you didn't bought it.

If there will ever be a NNK3 and Hino wants this collaboration with studio Ghibli to be really meaningful he needs to hire one of studio Ghibli's writers and let him work on the story and characters.

I haven't heard anything so far but i think it's very likely to happen.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I'll chime in and say I also really loved this game. I'll agree that some of the side characters weren't very fleshed out, but overall it was a fun adventure and the combat was pretty alright.
Picked up the edition with everything on PC so I'll probably play through it again soon.

I regret not buying this game when it was on sale. Was hoping for the complete edition.

The reason why we picked Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom as our first HDR coverage of the week is simple, ever since the game was released in March 2018, it has been impossible to make HDR work on NVIDIA cards. Yes, no official patch has been propose
