Probably for NX.

Everything was NX

 

[HabeeNo]

Listening to the original NNK soundtrack again, because holy fucking shit, I can't believe we got a sequel

 

[Tom Nook]

Tears of Joy.

I so freaking happy. I did not see this coming.

 

[Silver-tongued]

I shat myself.

I know Ni No Kuni was aimed at kids, but I thought the target audience was at least old enough to be potty trained.

 

[Gbraga]

Any chance we'll get a remaster? I own it on PS3 but never finished the game. It'd be nice to have it on PS4 at 1080p.

I don't even know why I stopped playing, to be honest. It's been what, almost 3 years? But I still remember everything vividly, which is quite rare for me.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

I absolutely loved every moment of this game. I was also close to earning its platinum since I played it to completion. So damn excited!!!

 

[Bornstellar]

I'm sure it will come to NX but Xbox One would be a waste of resources. Late, Japanese, no franchise connection. It's the perfect storm for low sales on that platform.

Who said anything about Xbox?

 

[Mexen]

Something something Pachter

 

[Newtype-001]

No Oliver or Drippy?

Adult oliver would be great.

 

[Tsunamo]

Guess I should finally play my copy of the original now.

It looked (and sounded) fantastic!

 

[coughlanio]

Console Debut usually means it's coming to PC too?

 

[bigmac996]

Definitely excited. I hope it has a little more depth and more interesting creatures. I'd love for it to be more like Dragon Quest 8 and less like the original Ni no Kuni.

 

[beanman25]

HOOOOOLY SHIT. Amazing

 

[Principate]

Think so? Or is it referring to PC?

And if it's NX, is PS paying for it to come out first for PS4?

Nah it probabaly would have said console exclusive if the PS4 was the only console it is was releasing on

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Best part of PSX

 

[Sealed]

OH SHIT

I never saw this coming

Awesome news!!!!

 

[Rootbeer]

nvm lol.

Yeah i was like wtf! the thumbnail and description say Ni No Kuni II but it's not T__T

 

[Ostinatto]

So Studio Ghibli is not working on this title?

 

[Infernostew]

As exclusive as tomb raider was.

No comma

 

[sense]

Probably for NX.

oh you

 

[SweetTeddie]

The first game was a great starting point. I really thought a sequel could be amazing if they bothered to make one. I'm excited to see what they do with NNK2.

 

[sora87]

Weird that Sony couldn't lock down exclusivity

 

[TsuWave]

this was the highlight for me. loved the first one.

[entremet]

I still need to play the original.

Weird that Sony couldn't lock down exclusivity

True exclusives are relics of the past. It's just too risky and expensive.

 

[ZachzOOming]

Yeahhh

 

[Haunted]

I really liked Ni No Kuni. It was probably the dearth of traditional jRPGs last generation that made it stand out so much more, but still.

 

[like.a.ser]

No Joe Hisaishi, no sale.

The absence of Hisaishi and Studio Ghibli makes me sad, but it still looks amazing. I'm pretty optimistic about this one.

 

[Elios83]

So Studio Ghibli is not working on this title?

Art looked like theirs?

 

[RPGamer92]

Weird that Sony couldn't lock down exclusivity

It is exclusive according to PS's twitter page.

 

[pastrami]

Probably for NX.

What have you done.

 

[LuFel]

Whoaa! NnK 2?!
need to complete NnK1 now! =D

 

[BibiMaghoo]

I ...I will buy this game.

 

[Newtype-001]

It could be exclusive to the moon for all i care im building my rocket now.

 

[gembel]

the screen label is probably wrong.. Boyes CLEARLY said ps4 exclusive, PS twitter also said ps4 exclusive.

The absence of Hisaishi and Studio Ghibli makes me sad, but it still looks amazing. I'm pretty optimistic about this one.

Explore a beautifully animated world and experience the gripping story in an all-new RPG adventure. LEVEL-5 reunites with Yoshiyuki Momose on character design and Music created by Joe Hisaishi in the production of the next Ni no Kuni tale.

[Mr. RPG]

I'm not very hyped. The first game had pretty forgettable characters and a really awful battle system so it is pretty hard for me to be hyped for a sequel. The world was also pretty small and the story wasn't anything that special. The ending to the story didn't really leave much open for a sequel either.

Despite all that though it was game of the year for me so here's hoping they can get some of what the first game did right.

 

[elmars369]

Exclusive to PS4, so no DS version
https://twitter.com/PlayStation/status/673225740830179328

Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is.
Ni no Kuni II: *different sub-title* is a 3DS exclusive tho.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

No Oliver or Drippy?

I hope they are in there somewhere. But cannot wait for this.

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

I loved the world and the character the last game had even if the combat was a bit lame. Of course I'm hoping for a better battle system, but honestly I'm gonna love it either way. Look at that world! It's gonna be a real joy seeing the sights and meeting the wacky characters.

 

[jj984jj]

Nice. I hope the make the monster catching better and the evolutions more unique.

I'm going to miss Drippy but hopefully they do just as good a job with the dub and make these characters just as charming.

 

[RPGCrazied]

One gripe I had from the first game was not enough voice acting. I hope that is fixed for the sequel.

 

[Akara]

What does this even mean.

 

[GnawtyDog]

Looked solid. Need to see gameplay. But yeah, another great title announced. Art style is world class.

 

[GCX]

So Studio Ghibli is not working on this title?

No, they would've showed the Ghibli cut scenes if they existed.

[reminder]

Thank you Level-5. Loved the first one and actually didn't believe a sequel would be made. I'm so happy right now.

 

[xewind]

The highlight of the conference for me.

First one is one my favorite PS3 games. Day one no doubt.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Dude looks like a lady.

Also, based Level 5

 

[Revolutionary]

They mislabeled the video lol
Got me good

Edit: Damn, Ni-Oh looks amazing
