It just sounds like you're done with consoles to me. It's not like next-gen is going to offer the level of AA that you find on your PC. It's never going to be that way on consoles.

Doesn't bother me. Hell I still play SNES games.
If you are expecting crysis levels of IQ you aren't going to get it on the PS3, or not even the 360. That's for PC's. I don't play games for the graphics. Though one thing I hate is screen tearing. I won't play a game that has that.

I disagree. I can even handle 1080p and FXAA for those few games that don't even support SMAA injector.
Next gen consoles will be fully capable of SMAA or something close and 1080p for ALL games and that is decent I guess.
LOL. It's not like titles like this will ever get released on PC. There's just no market for it in Japan. So either you get used to console-quality graphic or well, play Crisis 3 and other PC games.
Considering the threads where people talk about wanting PC graphics next gen (or something comparable), yes people are that picky about graphics. Even some casuals who just got into gaming this gen won't give older games a second look.
Though I admit, some games like this and Tales of games, I would love on PCs but there isn't a market for it in Japan so eh. Doesn't effect my enjoyment of these titles <3

i like he waited to post his impression day of release lol.
Nope, there isn't.
Well the day has arrived. I'm sure being such a niche title GS will only get a few copies in. Gonna call at 10, reserve one and pick it up on my break.
Broke up with the girlfiend last night too. This will a great escape to detachment world and a fuckawesome way of moving on and forgetting about her. Perfect timing.

It's an art thing with me man. It's not about what is there, it is about what should be there. If Howl's Moving Castle was only available on DVD with intense aliasing I would not be okay with that. Why the hell would I want this game to be like that. It could have been a lot better with just a little more time spent on the Cell architecture. It is pretty obvious at this point not many japanese devs care to code for it and I can't say I totally blame them I just wish this game was done by another dev.
It's more my sickness with American games, and there being no equivalent to this, that deepens my confusion and apathy.

Do graphics on large screens really that bad? I am running games on 24" monitor with resolution scaling (yes balck labels on top&down do not bother me even with 16:10) and have no problem. Now I playing Eternal Sonata and all seems very pleasant for my eye.

No, not necessarily. But if you game close to screen it will definitely take a larger space up of that screen obviously. I used to game on a 24 inch and the jaggies were just as bad to my eyes just smaller. I used to game just as you do on a Dell with 1:1 scaling. The resolution of the game really does affect bigger screens though. Games that looked okay on my old screen, especially sub720p ones, look like shit blown up on a 42 sitting the same distance away.

I don't think it would have turned out to remotely be the same game had anyone else done it.

True. Hardware then damn it. DAMN IT!

Kind of. The gold ones from the Wizard's Edition and the Prima guide (US printing only) are not available in game and were originally DLC with guides in Japan. The other two are new for the Western release of Ni no Kuni and were not in the Japanese game and also cannot be found in game.
Hmm? Not in the Japanese game? That's new to me, which ones are them?

Griffy and Flutterby. They were made just for the West. Dunno if they will be DLC in Japan at some point but It seems unlikely.
Posts like these make me roll my eyes. It makes you sick? Give me a fucking break, :lol.

Griffy codes were mailed out to Amazon buyers last night and apparently Wal-Mart also has him but that is not confirmed, so yes, they are available. Flutterby is Best Buy only though with no reports of anyone getting it yet.

Also, you should back away from your TV some when playing it.
4 feet sounds kinda close.
Absurdly close if he's playing on a 42".
Flutterby is Futureshop as well but they are owned by Best Buy.

Ah that explains it, I was confused when i saw all these diffrent dates being banded around. Guess Ill go with banned site aswell for the slightly lower price and chance at a day or two early.
Oh okay. I meant if they were available on PSN. Sorry bout that.

Aghhh, lol. No one knows if that is happening. Hope it does though!

If you must have it now, make a US PSN account and buy the digital version.
Stupid question, but are you serious? Can I really do that? If so, I might consider it. The 10 day wait is killing me here.
sure.
You'll need US funds though. If they are still available, bestbuy.com ships you the PSN voucher via email which is pretty good.
What I'm most excited about is to see how the story begins and how the game presents its tutorials with the battle system. The 13 minute explanation video on YT someone posted last really did a fine job and the narrator made it known that the way the game does show you the ropes is very, very well done.

2 hours to go! I shouldn't have watched the GT review. Most of the bosses got spoiled, seriously doubt those are regular fights. Oh well. The hype was to great.

Not even lol. A 42 is about right vision wise when you are 4 feet away as far as immersion IMHO.
I also felt no different when I gamed on my 24 inch Dell. It might have been slightly easier to handle I guess.

I'm pretty sure 4 ft is mad close, but alright. Whatever works
or doesn't work, obviously

4 feet away is definitely at least 4 feet too close for a 42"
Thankfully already forgot who GT fought, lol. Just an hour to go until I get out of class and head on over to Gamestop. 30min walk in this cold but it's worth it for Ni No Kuni.2 hours to go! I shouldn't have watched the GT review. Most of the bosses got spoiled, seriously doubt those are regular fights.
I'll recommend using Amazon instead.

I don't even get what you are saying. This is totally preference. Have you ever gamed in front of a 42 inch tv? I could never go back to sitting on a couch ten feet away lol. The immersion factor goes up a ton imho especially for any kind of cinematic game. It is where we are headed anyway. More immersion, full human viewpoint.
As long as the picture does not strain your eyes I don't see any problem. Closer view equals more of the screen in my vision and more detail to my eyes.
Sadly, it also means some games look like complete shit. This one looks just okay. If there was 4xMSAA I might be able to handle it.
I don't think anyone can debate how godly this game would be if it were 1080p with supersampling up the bum.

So I've been waiting for another jRPG since I played my first one (FFIX). I was pretty disappointed when I couldn't find an airship to fly around and explore/find hidden shit with in FFX. Unlike most people here, I love really involved cutscenes. But more than anything, I think it's the world map and popping out into a scaled version of the game's world that puts all of the stuff you've been doing in the game into this weird context that you can now see from a different view. I love the idea of finding some forest where there is a 1% chance that you'll find something really awesome. I don't mind grinding for stuff like that. I miss roaming around between those tiny model towns, man.
Is this game for me? It looks like it is.

So you like the ability to fly around a world map and a world map in general? Yes this is a game for you then.
I suggest trying out the demo if you're unsure, the forest demo after the boss/cutscene, you can head to the world map and get to see what it looks like (absolutely beautiful it is)

My primary tv is a 42" panasonic plasma. Ten feet would be too far for me as well, I try to stay about 5-8 feet away for 1080p stuff. But for 720p I would need to be at least 8 feet away or stuff would start to look blurry. Blu ray content looks much better at 8 feet away than it does sitting close up as well
It is totally up to personal preference though.
