Between 2 and 25% chance depending on the familiar. You can increase the percent chance with a merit later on if you have been doing all the sidequests also.

Ok thanks. Haven't seen a heart appear yet and was thinking I missed something.
Welp, looks like I know where my first stop is tonight.
I wanted one of those goggle wearing rabbits anyway.

The easiest way to get the Dino (if you're having issues actually finding them in a large quantity) is to travel to the Temple of Trials, then fly directly west, maybe halfway before the end of the clifftops. You can land in an area that has two spawns roaming on one "disc" with one two discs below that, one to the side and one that's two discs east. This allows you to see a pretty large amount of spawns.
All you have to do is use the gate spell to gate back to Motorville and then use it again to port back to where you originally were. This will reset all of the spawns. You won't necessarily NOT find a Dino in a pack that's not Dino shaped, but those are guaranteed and sometimes contain two.
The Tokos are on Duck something island. It's I think the second largest of those islands.
Just prevents spell casting.

Trying to capture a babana monster thing next to Al Mamoon and they refused to become in love with me. I got the turban dude on my first try too. Sigh. I don't want to eradicate your kind from existence, but you're forcing me to!
Took me awhile too dude. Don't get discouraged.

According to the guide there is a task card redemption to help increase the % of drops, but I don't think you get it till late in the game.

Looks like rips of the Wizard Companion (straight from the PS3 ISO, PDF and JPG versions) are appearing online. Doesn't sound very legal though but it would work great on a Tablet next to your PS3. Has Namco ever thought of bringing this book digitally on Google Play or iOS?

Alright I am trying to get theses spice from a guy in Al Mamoon but no one in town has peice of heart they can give me anymore (already used them on other people in town). Do I have to wait till the next town to find more? or does it re spawn in cities?

Welp, my PS3 is dead. I guess I won't be getting any further than three hours into this game.

I got the turbandit on my first try as well. Green Buncher took me awhile. Just stick with it!

Kicking myself. Had the mega edition on preorder for something like £60 back in September and I canceled it (christ knows why) and now Ive just had to pay £38 to get the regular one. Sad times.

If you got all the pieces of heart from Ding Dong Dell, that shouldn't be an issue. So yeah, you either gotta wait or go back.
Get used to it. Catching a Bone-Head is even worse.
I'll never complain about Pokemon coming out of a ball ever again.
I must have got lucky there... Second one tamed for me, thankfully. Was like 50 battles on the Green Bunchers, though.
Bonehead tamed for me on the second try too. The Babana Bunch took awhile though and so is Purrloiner.

Head back to the Dell and make sure you talk to the cat-like humanoid sitting on the brick wall in that central square area where the castle is. That's the one enthusiasm heart piece I was missing to complete that sidequest
I don't understand the difference in the stats they show when you level up and what stats they show when you're feeding your familiars... They're never the same.
From what I've heard, they're pretty good once you get some levels in them. They require tons of experience though.

Pretty sure the level up stats are the actual stats of your familiar without gear, and when you're feeding it, gear is taken into account.
Oh ho! I never thought of this. I feel dumb now.

Think I'll train up a Teeny Bopper for Ollie to use. I like the cut of his gib.

Just defeated another Tokotoko, earned my 9000xp, and my own Tokotoko is still lvl 1.
So..yeah...

Ok, I swear the game told me that certain familiars have affinity for certain handlers, is that right? If so, how do you see this?
(for instance, a Mite being better for Esther than Oliver, etc...)

When moving familiars into someone's party, you'll see 3 little icons above their roster representing the families of familiars. If the familiar you have selected matches one of those families, the icon will become animated and move around.

Is he strong? What abilities does he learn?
What's his Mag Defense and his Attack power like if you metamorph him?
And most importantly where is he on the map?

Each character has three favored genus types. When you move the familiars around, it's the three faces that appear. If one of them is popping out, then it's a match.
Basically Oliver likes Mites, Draco and something else, while Esther prefers bird types etc. Having favored genus types gives that familiar a 10% boost to stats.

In Billy's Goat's Buff - South
I've encountered four so far near those ruins that lead to Perdida
got 2 questions
according to the map, there's a forest village NW of Al Mamoon
but i can't seem to land anywhere near it
anyone know where is it?
also
inside a cave near on south plateau, an alchemy guy asks me to come back later (before he'll teach me some recipes?)
anyone know when?
thanks
kinda afraid of that xp though XD
u're probably missing either the one

in the shop or the one in northern zone of the city
lol, sorry again guys, multiple tabs open.
Can't wait to play Ni no Kuni, but I'm still not sure if day-1...
I'm waiting for Tales of Graces F to arrive this week, I hope.
Kind of long impressions: The presentation of this game is magical, even if under the hood I feel it's not all it could be. AI is fine for regular mobs, but in boss fights it just doesn't cut it. Companions seem to try their hardest to eat boss attacks and die. I recently got access to the square and triangle buttons. It helps a lot. However, if companions had better positioning I wouldn't end up soloing almost every boss. Resurrecting them just isn't worth it when I have limited items and can do okay just staying far away and flinging magic from the little green sprite guy.
Right now I'm at Hamelin
.
I am a bit compulsive about taming all familiars I can, but then I just use the same ones I started with. So hard to choose which to level up! From advice up-thread maybe I should go get another rock slab and kitty pirate out of the retreat, and go back to the volcano for more morph items (I have like 3 star familiars ready to morph and no orbs for them)? On Oliver I still use Mitey, the little green sprite with heals and waterbomb, and a random familiar for leveling. My other two have the ones they started with plus airhead, elephant thing, lemur, frog, ray, and the bighorn one (I love the design of that little dude).
I wish that after making a recipe from the companion once, it was immediately available as a recipe I have access to in the alchemy screen. Why not? If it were added after you made it, it would still be rewarding to go through the companion for recipes, and still allow me to make deluxe sweets in multiples instead of making one at a time which feels like a chore.
I've put quite a lot of time into this game and it still feels awesome every time Oliver gets out onto the world map. Just wow. It's so charming and there is this special weirdness that shines through every so often.

Like with the faycare centre and having to go inside Drippy's mom - that was a wtf moment that had me cracking up with the gross/funny. The comedy routine in comparison was just whatever.

Time to murder Oliver. I switched to Esther to Serenade a quest familiar, and the fucker casts Cloudburst.
