Ni No Kuni- Is it worth the pick up ?

It's on sale for 29.99 and a lot of people lately has been still yapping about it saying its really a great game. What do you guys think ? Is Ni No Kuni worth the 29.99 and will a RPG gamer such as myself will enjoy this JRPG ? 

If you want a good JRPG, then definitely pick it up. 

hell yes, worth it at 60$. the art is so damn beautiful looks amazing on my monitor

Is this seriously a question, Charter? Hell yeah it's worth it. Especially at 20 bucks.

Probably the best game I've played in the past year, and that's including SMTIV and Animal Crossing.

:lol: On sale! :lol: That's the normal price of the game on Amazon. I am waiting for it to drop to $20, then picking it up. AmazonTreeBoa

I take it you missed all the 9/10s across the internets for this game?

don't miss this masterpice, especially if ur jrpg fan

i really like the voice acting especially the witches parot.

IMO, without question this is the best JRPG for the PS3. I think it's one of the very best games this gen.

As a huge JRPG fan I wanted to like this game so much. I actually just finished it and if I knew what I know now I never would've played it. You have a Xenogears avatar? Xenogears crushes this game. There's certainly redeemable aspects but overall the best thing that I can say about it is that it's "okay". I know that I'll catch flak for this but the game is very childish and corny. I know I hate it when people bash games like Little Big Planet or Ratchet And Clank or even just Nintendo games in general for what they perceive to be too childish but this game truly is. The dialogue can be like listening to people from Pleasantville and Oliver can be dumb as bricks at times. There's a billion side quests and my OCD made me do them all but they aren't enjoyable (unless you count the casino stuff). You may love the game, other people seem to. I will say that it has the best looking world map that I've ever seen. 

I love the 2D Studio Ghibli scenes in this game.

Yes it is worth it. 

Highly recommend at any price

Yes at $30 it is. A great JRPG.

mazn has it for $21 right now. Even better.

Yes its worth it.

Amazon has it for 20 http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B007A7UJ4S/ref=sr_1_1_ha_olp?ie=UTF8&qid=1375625941&sr=8-1&keywords=ni+no+kuni&condition=new

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes.

It's polished and has great presentation as well as a good proper overworld, but I found the battle system extremely sloppy. It never helps when you have AI partners and the mechanics themselves just seem clunky...

Thats because it was 20, then you looked at the link 2 days later and it went back up.

Walmart has it for 20 also but its out of stock right now http://www.walmart.com/ip/Ni-no-Kuni-Wrath-of-the-White-Witch-PS3/20552299

I've never played a JRPG, and I enjoy a good RPG.  It seems adolescent.  I've seen and read some stufff on it, but am I completely off base?  I'll try it eventually.

The ones that play it and say it's too childish tend to be the teenagers, because they're worried about looking immature. IMO, it's fun for all ages. I'm 40, and I loved it. I compare it to the movie Shrek. I could watch it with a 10 year old and we'd both enjoy it. That's kinda how Ni no Kuni is. It's just a really unique experience that has a lot of magic and charm to it.

Yes, probably the best JRPG for the PS3 this gen.

without a doubt. it gave me the nostalgia smiles.

I think that it is funny when people say the game is childish, when the main character of the game is a CHILD!  Who would have thought?  Either way, I loved the game, not only for the combat, but a truly good story (even if it does start off slow as hell.)

The game is without a question worth the price, however is it for everyone? That's a different question, personally as much as I enjoy Anime, Manga and in general Japanese culture I couldn't find myself playing the game for too long. I simply find it to be to childlike. This isn't an offence to the game, it simply isn't catering to me personally, anymore.

When I was younger, definitely, I grew up with Ni No Kuni pureness but that time has passed. 

Still, It's a fantastic game for those who can look past the younger feel of the game.

I'm not a fan of JRPGs but I really like this game.  Though, I only played a little of it because I want to get through some shorter games that have been sitting around, as this is a game that kind of demands all your time, which isn't a bad thing, as the game is rather amusing (funny characters and the sort of Pokemon feel really add to it being addictive, which it does become as you go and level up fighting various creatures).

I couldn't find myself playing the game for too long. I simply find it to be to childlike.
