After four to five hours playing yesterday evening I'm hooked
& starting to enjoy the game. The first few hours are full of tutorials
& menu pop-ups, you are struggling to get to grips with the game
mechanics & the game keeps on giving you more tutorials.
J-RPGs have perfected the art of in-game tutorials. Ni No
Kuni did not tell the player about the all squad command till after the first
big boss fight a good fourteen hours into the game. I have now figured out what
the various controller buttons do & how to control your squad. The
inventory management is really crap, I collect loot & there is no easy way
of knowing what I have collected without going through each weapon/armour &
checking for upgrades.
I am currently at the Citadel & have recruited a few
more squad members. Just need to decide on which two I want to include in my
squad, I think I may just stick with the original two of Ashley & Alenko.
With the trilogy to play I think I don’t need to buy anything else for the rest
of the year.
