I grabbed a few extra screenshots from the Gamersyde trailer.

This game looks so good. Every time I see something new I get hyped again. I wouldn't mind if this were the dominant visual style in all jrpgs, as opposed to the push for photorealism.

 

[vanDoughnut]

I feel like this trailer could be better. Feels kinda random.

Still hyped.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

Day one but and it's not that long of a delay but this was the game I was looking forward to most playing this year that didn't require my buying a PS4 (or in my case Pro if I ever get a PS4) to do so.

 

[patchday]

Yeah looking forward to this one

 

[KZObsessed]

Looks great and combat looks more fun. Will miss the familiars tho.

 

[Champion]

What a beautiful game. Combat seems boring, though.

Yep. I'm going to wait a while on this one because of it.

 

[Fahzgoolin]

If only the first game would get some love in a port. Hopefully you don't need to play the first...

 

[Ricker]

What's with everyone saying the combat looks bad? Looks reminiscent of Tales to me.

Turn base combat...looks bad...real time action combat...looks bad...

I liked the combat in the first and this,from the little we have seen so far,is a nice change from the first and yeah,its more action and all...shrugs...

Anyway,day one for me.

Yeah, i'm wondering about that too. I missed the first one when it came on ps3 so i don't know how important will it be to play it before the sequel.

You don't.

Won't be sure how I feel about the higgledies til I actually play the game, but I'm gonna buy day one-ish just for the cute characters.

 

[djtiesto]

Game looks so freaking nice. The first Ni No Kuni had most of the right pieces that many of last gen's RPGs were lacking, but it suffered on the battle system... this game's system looks like an improvement so far, but I hope it continues that way.

This is basically me. The game oozes charm and that's enough for me. Ni no kuni 1 had issues with pacing and gameplay ( didn't care for the Familiar combat) but found Oliver and the world charming enough for me to stick with it.

 

[Usobuko]

The first Ni no kuni main issue is the story not living up to half of Ghibli magic. And the flow of the narrative gets tedious towards the end.

The gameplay itself on the other hand is not as bad as its reputation here if you treat it as some pokemon / monster catching system. It's actually more fun to play than your mainline Pokemon games unless you're into competitive battling of Pokemon. Mainline Pokemon games being one of the current most boring jrpg otherwise.

Just that monster lacks charm, evolution is non inspiring looking and monster numbers are lower in the first Ni no Kuni.

 

[theofficefan99]

I honestly don't see what's wrong with the battle system :/

 

[QuackkAttack]

My only issue with the combat is that it looks like the enemies are too damage-spongey. Still my most hyped game and I'm so stoked for it's release.

 

[Exentryk]

Combat looks amazing! Can't wait to master the perfect blocks and figuring out OP abilities to deal insane damage via charged abilities.

 

[Cornbread78]

Combat looks amazing! Can't wait to master the perfect blocks and figuring out OP abilities to deal insane damage via charged abilities.

Very nice looking indeed.

 

[shimon]

Now I'm even more pissed it got delayed...

Looking forward to it,enjoyed the combat in 1.Kinda sad no more Familiars

 

[Philippo]

Wonder what the total amount of playable character is, we're up to 4 right now, right?

As soon I saw the first post talking about boring combat, I knew I was going to get Jenovas head schoolin everyone with GIFs.

But yeah the latest trailer did not focus on heavy combat.

 

[TsuWave]

Hype for this took a nose dive since I found out there's no familiars

 

[TrounceX]

What's up with the concern about boring combat? It looks very hands on, fast paced, and exciting for a JRPG. Were people expecting Nier Automata or something? I'm confused.

 

[Nauren]

I'm hyped to the max even though I will miss familiars.

 

[Twookie]

the music in this trailer is beautiful

 

[danthefan]

Can't wait, loved the first one.

 

[butman]

What a beautiful game. Combat seems boring, though.

Modern gaming in a nutshell. Except for Souls games that do it the other way around.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

This looks sooooooo damn gooooooood. The first one was toooo long ago. Need now.

 

[Shin-Ra]

I was going to say the gold (light?) and purple (shadow?) Higgledies are new but we've seen them before in the artwork at the very least.
