This game is perfect for: casual gamers
This is one of those uncommon gems in gaming where everything in a huge game comes together to create an amazing experience. I just completed the game today(not the post-game content) and I felt compelled to write a little something regarding it.
The main character, Oliver, is a seemingly typical young boy who lives in a small USA town called Motorville. The game spends a little bit of time introducing you to Oliver, his mother, the town, etc. at the beginning of the game. My expectations of the visuals were met as the game opened and I got to spend a little time wandering around town. It really captures the feel of an anime film.
After a tragic event happens that involves his mother, Oliver is introduced to a beautifully realized fantasy world that is parallel to his own. He meets a fairy named Mr. Drippy and he asks Oliver's aid to save the fantasy world from an evil power. Oliver also learns that he has the chance to save his mother in the process.
What transpires afterwards is one of the most heartwarming tales I have experienced in a video game in a long time, if not ever. Along the way, Oliver meets many interesting characters, a few of which accompany him throughout his travels. He also travels to many parts of the land via the overworld in the game that has its own distinct look and feel. Parts of the land are covered in snow while others are covered in desert sands. Each part of the land is beautifully realized and exploring the towns and other areas within them in a treat.
Oliver eventually learns that he has the potential to be a great wizard. Along the way he learns dozens of spells to aid him in his adventures and also gains the ability to use familiars. Familiars are magical creatures quite similar to pokemon that are created from someone's soul. Oliver can attack on his own but a familiar may have a strength where Oliver may have a weakness. Some have stronger physical attacks while others have stronger magical attacks. Others may have great defense but may lack offensive capabilities and so on. Adding to this is the affinity of each one regarding the different elements. Oliver and those that accompany him can have up to three familiars with them at one time while the rest are sent to a familiar retreat until they are selected by you to be put in your party from one of many points throughout the world. Capturing and finding the familiars that compliment your style of play best and leveling them up is extremely satisfying and addictive. Constantly swapping between Oliver and his familiars to best handle the situation at hand during a battle is very exciting and rewarding.
While the game certainly has a cartoony aesthetic to it it does not mean this game is only for a younger audience. There is a lot here for people of all ages to enjoy. While the game isn't one of the most difficult JRPGs I've played it definitely does require some thinking and strategy especially during the later parts of the game. The story does have a lighter tone. Even the most sensitive people won't be able to find anything remotely offensive here. That doesn't mean the story is any less powerful. There are many touching moments throughout the game along with some narrative twists and turns that cause suffering for the characters and their world that they must overcome. I don't want to go much deeper than that for fear of spoiling anything but I will say that I loved the story and how it was presented. While the dialogue can get a bit sappy and cheesy at times, i easily overlooked it since this kind of dialogue was usually coming from the younger and innocent characters in the game.
I can't recommend this game enough if you're a JRPG fan. It's truly an amazing game. The combat and exploration draw inspiration from the fantastic Tales series and the Pokemon games. The game also reminded of some elements from the Zelda series as well, mainly the fantastic music and the variety of the different dungeon-like areas you explore during the game. I hope these games continue to do well here so I can continue to have great gaming experiences like this.
If I have any complaints about the game they are: There could be more spoken dialogue in the game. These segments of the characters being fully-voiced were too few and far between in my opinion. Mainly because I loved them so much when they occurred. It brought that much more personality to the characters.
Also, Oliver's AI companions could be a little bit smarter.

This game is perfect for: hardcore gamers
Out of all the RPGs, both Japanese and Western, that I have played in recent years, Ni No Kuni is one of the best. I have to say, I was very impressed playing this game. The story is very good, and the gameplay is absolutely incredible. Although certain aspects of the story can seem a bit childish at times, it is a very well put together storyline. But where the game really shines is in terms of gameplay. I originally picked up this game at the beginning of February, and for every time I turned on my PS3 that month, the only game I would play was Ni No Kuni. It is an absolutely amazing game. I am so glad that I decided to give this masterpiece a try. It is very fun and enjoyable to play, and I would highly recommend that anyone who may be considering giving it a try should just buy it and prepare to be amazed.

Outstanding outstanding outstanding, it's a journey worth taking. Hour after hour, day after day. It's beautiful, with a lot of option, it's open world-ish, almost like white knight chronicles. Gameplay is fun, a lot of cool spells that you can use for many different things such as fixing items, teleporting, opening un-lockable items and much much more. Your familiar (minions) are really cool also, each has different weapons and specials which make using them a lot of fun. It's a all around good time. Enjoy

This game has been added to my top 10 favorites in my game chest. I've gotten very far in this game and it hasn't seized to amaze me in the gameplay, the storyline, and much much more. I HIGHLY recommend getting this game if your a fan of JRPG games (like Blue Dragon for example) The best to me was seeing some of the animations from Studio Ghibli brought onto this game, one of my favorite animation studios ever. If you haven't bought this game yet, save your money and purchase it for your PS3 system. :)

This game is perfect for: casual gamers
Love it! I say: LOVE IT!, It's basically the story of a poor boy who almost died in a certain incident and is given a magic doll, it suddenly comes to life and takes him to another world, where you will need to play Minigames, battle monsters with a really original battle system, and of course, befriend MONSTERS :D Not only that! The hero isn't the typical soldier/amnesic hero/gigantic sword/swordmaster with guns/epic fighter. You are just a spellcaster... And you're a child! You also can collect other people "Emotions" to solve different puzzles. Now many people complained about this game being "Childish" i say no. This is a great games for all ages, It doesnt matter if you are a guy or a girl. You will love this game as much as you love pokemon heart gold. The price is worth it. Go get it. Like, now.

This game is perfect for: hardcore gamers
Be aware that this game has a large amount of grinding. So, if that isn't your thing you should steer clear of this game. On the other hand if you are into such things this game will consume you and your life. The gameplay has a slight curve to it that any normal hard core gamer will get the hang of quickly. This game is a must buy for any RPG player giving an old school RPG mechanics a bit of new blood.
