51 hours, beat the game. Had everything but the post game stuff done. Loved it, so very very tempted to Platinum it but it seems daunting to get all Familiars.
ENDING SPOILERS
I'm sad it's over now. Which is a sign of a great game.
ENDING SPOILERS
When you beat the Zodiarch and get the "Ashes of Resurrection" spell, I actually thought Oliver would get his Mum back. It has a very Ghibli ending, is all I can say.

Just finished the game... 38 hours.
Like I said before I start the game... as someone who has lost both of his parents in the past few months... I was very interested in the game and how it was going to make me feels.
Well.....
.... I really needed to play Ni no Kuni, and I'm so grateful I did.
Now what I think of the game:
+ Amaaaazing Art direction and graphics
+ Beautiful Soundtracks
+ Surprisingly fun battle system! ( I was planning to pass over the game because of the battle system, thank god I didn't )
+ Mr.Drippy
- The script were extremely weak and childish and should have been presented A LOT BETTER...
- The A.I AND the defend system sometimes will make things MUCH worse for you in battles
- The lack of the voice acting in A LOT of important and emotional story events.
Overall... Ni no Kuni is a nice fresh of air that the JRPG needed for many years, if they ever wanted to make another one.... please, make it with a mature theme this time & script that can grab the player interest the whole time from start to finish.

Well.....
I really connected to Oliver and wanted so much for him to be reunited with his mom as I myself was very very close to mine..... it just broke my heart when the truth revealed and there was just no way for him to save his mom, I felt extremely upset... and when he had that dream about her I just couldn't hold my tears any longer 
in the end... when he said that he will go on with his life and he knows that his mom will always watch over him, that line gave me a nice warm but also sad feelings inside my chest.

oh boy, this is one of the best jrpgs i ever played. It is up there with FF8.
I just got to
, how far am I?
I just got to
Hamelin
You're getting close to halfway, I'd say.

it was quite boring until I got the
ship
But I did!
Honestly, the best advice anyone could have given me: rush through this next portion of the game. Just knock out the main story until you get the next mode of travel then you'll be happy.

I am liking the battle system, which people said was the weak point.

The soundtrack to this game is just incredible. I'm willing to say that this is Joe Hisaishi's best work, even conquering the great Spirited Away. I mean, the music to the battle with
was so good.

wat
I literally fought nothing but sunshines and small frys for more than an hour now and nothing. I read up on them and a bunch of people seem to have problems with emberstones.
Tough luck I guess.
steal it. it's much more reliable than drops
The presentation and OST are the reasons why I am sticking around with Ni No Kuni. The battle system is all right, but it doesn't do much for me.
21 hours and starting to make my way through Hamlin. Just finishing sidequests in the city before continuing the story. My Tigogre is finally coming around to being a good familiar to use and so is the Purrlioner. Draggy is soooo as fuck to level and hasn't gotten good yet in the second form but the stats per level is pretty great so hopefully soon.

Well there's a familiar trick called "dark cloud".

You mean, other than Dinoceros? Because that thing will solve all of your problems, guaranteed.
Where do I get it?
What teams you using?
I had a bit of trouble with the tank but I somehow managed with just one death (Oliver).
I was going with:
Oliver: Mite, the cat, and draggle
Esther: Grongo, Banana thing, whambat
Swaine: dumblemuur, hurly burly and skeleton dude
If you can if you have any of them that have thunder spells use those.
You can't get him at that point of the game, though. Really, you just gotta find some familiars with storm-type attacks, as that is what he is weak to. Outside of that, leveling up a little might be warranted.
I'm mainly just using Mitey, Gogo, and Gunther while also switching to cloudy off and on the the electrical attack.

JRPGs should really reconsider always having that long victory celebration screen at the end of each battle. It's just time consuming and repetitive at some point. I suppose they're always in there as 'tradition', but i think it's holding them back from making better JRPGs.

So I'm basically at the end...
And suddenly, ZOMBIES!! XD It's really jarring, as the DS game ends with the defeat of Shadar (Jabo) so this game feels like it's got a weird sort of epilogue just stapled onto the end like. Weird.

I completely agree. Chaos is cheap as hell.
I bailed out and decided to do some sidequests to get that last merit stamp upgrade.
If you bailout can you teleport back right in front of that damn door later ? I need to go stock up on phoenix feathers..

No. But honestly, have veil and levitate going on the whole time and you can pretty much just breeze through the whole thing.

I've never played the DS version, but the PS3 game seems like it would feel very incomplete if it ended after the Shadar fight due to the White Witch still hanging around.

Anyone wanting to listening to some of the amazing scores of this game, here's a nice list of some of the tracks

I don't think the White Witch existed in the DS version, but maybe I'm wrong.

Then that would certainly explain where it ended.

That's because she was added into the PS3 version. She's not present at all in the original DS game.

Would it have killed you to spoiler-tag that?
Oh, that
isn't a boss or character.

So what about all the scenes that we see where Shadar talking to the witch's council? What are those replaced with?
I died to the last last boss And....am now looking at the ending on youtube. Fun game overall despite a lotttttttttttt of flaws.
Easy mode. Lvl 55ish for my lead characters and at least one familiar each. Decent weapons from bounty quests but never got to the 3rd row for merit card prizes so i missed out on the good one. Grinded a bit still, but didn't try to look up what the best monsters were to get, though the cat was my favorite one from early on.
I'd end up giving this a 7ish on charm, but combat felt cumbersome and the ally ai really hurt things.
I always feel a little defeated when i resort to youtube endings, yet i wouldn't enjoy going through the end boss again.

All of that stuff was added for the PS3 game. The council, the witch, Pea, the fucking parrot. None of them were in the DS game.
I imagine all the scenes with
, the
and the
were all added in for the PS3 version. The scenes with
likely weren't replaced with anything, just the game kept on and cutscenes weren't there. END-GAME SPOILER -
Pea
White Witch
Council of 12
Shaddar speaking with them
Hell, the Council and the parrot didn't even exist in the PS3 version, either... if you want to get technical. And Pea was just a part of the White Witch.
