I believe so. However, I haven't heard of anyone testing it and redeeming a DLC Familiar and redownloading the DLC ticket to get another. I know it works if you somehow 'lose' the one you got, but not sure if it works if it's still in your possession.
American version? Only if you're willing to shell out big bucks.
European version? Seems to be a crapshot, I haven't kept up to date so it MAY be possible but I'd expect the worst.

That would be good to know, otherwise you would need two codes for each familiar just to get both evolutions.
Would anyone be willing to double check this?

He tells you not to fall for the scribbles!
Of course it doesn't help that at least with my display settings, the text you're supposed to read is barely visible.
I'm fixing to go to the
Is there ANY way I can get a Jumbo Moondrop? I feel like I'm wasting this Ray if he's not evolving.
also how do you reset the
? I used travel at the stone in the island with the pirates assuming that meant I could travel to it later, but the game decides not to tell you when that registers, and now I don't know how to get back.

Hey guys. Stop wasting your time with the puss in boots and go with Naja. Stats are way better, and you still keep that fast 4 attack speed.
Where did this image come from? Does the source have every familiar and its stats? I'd like to see that.

Oh shit lol. I started getting lazy around that point and still haven't completed all of the bounty hunts or side missions from Castaway Cove. I should probably go back.. They should be pretty easy by now.
Hells yeah. I actually ended up wasting more time because one of the bounties was said to be on Summerland shore so I trekked all the way back through Golden Grove and no dice. So now Im back in Summerland and I figure I might as well try and catch one of those Najas, goggled rabbits and one of the angler fish in the Well.
When I use the "oh shit defend" button, my party goes into actual "defend" mode like one out of four times. Why is this? Also, it never puts the person I'm controlling into defend mode, I still have to manually select it.

The games can be fun, but I can't say for certain if the prizes are useful since some may be used in crafting later on. I do know that the casino in this game has a game called Platoon that is stupid easy to win and coins will not be a problem if you master the odds of that game. I made about 2 million coins in Platoon already, but I've yet to unlock all of the available prizes, but as I do, I'll probably post my findings.

How do you unlock the other prize tiers? Also, any platoon advice? Can you cash out chips back to gold?
It's from a handy spreadsheet someone created at GFaqs

I bet. From personal experience, mine is a lvl 16 Grifter and ready to morph into its final form. I'm gonna wait a bit though but the thing absolutley decimates anything in a couple hits. Attack lvl is already around 180 or so. Practically game breaking in my opinion but fun as hell nonetheless.

Placed my order on the game. Feels good mon. Too bad it probably arrives next week 
. Are there any missable trophies and how hard does the platinum seem?

This game is such a troll with me! I was reading this thread on my phone and when I came across this I decided to try it once I got a chance to play again. So a few moments ago I turned on my PS3, booted up Ni no Kuni and decided to try getting into just one last battle in Tombstone Trail to see if I got a scroll of truth via Mugshot. I got one in my first try.
SO! Three to go, but now I'll try this golden Toko method. Thanks for posting that by the way!
EDIT: Got my first scroll of truth using this method! Also the golden Tokos drop A LOT of money. 3/5 scrolls of truth woo!

so im up to the first "quest" in the 2nd city....freaking loving the game, 2 questions though..
- i havent found 1 reason really to use my other 2 familiars... i just steamroll with Oliver+ the 1st familiar you get.....does more strategy come into play later in game? will I really have to think and use my familiars in combinations?
- i'm still finding drippy to be a little too forward as to telling me what i gotta do next....is that becasue the game is still early or does he stay this obvious the whole game? for example is there a point in game where i have to figure out to go to motorville on my own without drippy blantantly saying it...
overall i do still have a few gripes about the game. but so far it's an amazing experience...

Yes and no. It depends on how many sidequests you do. If you do all sidequest you'll probably end up overpowered and everything'll be super easy. If you don't it gets harder.
Yes Drippy is always like that.

AFAIK tiers from C-A unlock with progress through the game and S unlocks upon finishing the game for the first time. I'm not sure about cashing coins to gold, I doubt it but maybe somebody who has beaten the game knows for sure.
As for Platoon strat, I could go into greater detail, but what works for me is:
PREP UNITS
1. Always put your lowest number card or Bishop by itself
If you have a Joker, put it with this card to make a Joker Combo
2. Always put Kings by themselves
3. Only make card units of 10 or 20+
If you have a left over card, probably something with a low number, put it by itself
BATTLE
Keep in mind that you will lose and part of Platoon is solving it. Vampire Girl is a moron, but usually has better cards than you, so watch out! Beating her can often be a gamble, however, you can take advantage of her patterns:
- Her single card unit is always a 2-8, King, or Bishop; therefore, use your 10 unit against these
- Her double card unit is likely 9-20 with a King/Bishop/Joker or a Joker Combo; therefore, use your 20+ unit against these
- Her triple, quad, and quin card unit is always 9-40 with a King/Bishop/Joker or a Joker Combo; therefore use your King or Joker Combo against these
- Your low unit or solo Bishop should only be used in desperation or sacrificing for a predict bonus
Your mileage may vary with this strat, good luck.
I'm about 24 hours in, but I've spent a lot of time traveling the over world and catching familiars, and doing all the sidequests. I figure if I do all the sidequests available before I move the story along, it will help with the difficulty spikes. So far so good.
I've only had one hard encounter (the Cauldron bit) and even that I beat after 3 tries.
Yeah this was my plan as well and I've done every sidequest possible so far. Ive only had a rough time once and that was trying to fight the enemies atop the southern plateau in Al Mamoon. Nothing a couple hours worth of grinding didn't fix though.

Yeah, I'm not seeing how "All-Out Defense" really helps matters. I hit it as soon as the enemy starts casting their spell, but the other 2 characters always eat it.
That definitely shouldn't be happening. Perhaps if they're in the middle of casting an ability, it doesn't work, I'm not sure. But it almost always works for me.

Yeah, I'm not sure. I mostly control Oliver, and have the other 2 set to "Keep Us Healthy" and "Provide Backup." At least 4/5 enemy casts hit both of them.

Just finished. Epic. Best Jrpg of current generation.
Is it hard to get platinum? Saw some secret trophies.

Okay, how do you guys go about your third forms? I've got a bunch that are ready to go, but I want those high stats. Most of them have second forms that max around 50-55, and they're only just hitting the low 40s now. For reference, I'm just about to
.
How dramatic is the difference in final stats if you evolve to the third form before hitting the second form level cap, versus going all the way?

Damn, you guys weren't kidding about the Griffy DLC being sold for almost the cost of the game.
That's nuts.

Would anyone recommend this game to someone who doesn't particularly like JRPG's? I've played (and love) a lot of Western RPG's, but I haven't played a legit JRPG since Final Fantasy 7.
I'm a fan of Studio Ghibli's art style, but not a fan of a lot of the tropes of the JRPG genre (every story is about revenge/menu-madness/rambling plots). But I've seen some reviews of this game and it looks enjoyable. I saw someone say that it's worth it to get the guide - that worries me.
So would you recommend to a JRPG noob?
