Multiple Save Slots in Ni no Kuni?

Hey I don't know if this has been posted already, but I didn't want to go looking through the forums since I might run into spoilers. My roommate started a game and I want to start my own, if I just hit new game will it give me the option of saving it into a different slot? Thanks in advance.

Yes you can. So long as you don't save over your roomate's save file.

Definitely. I use at least four saves for my games, just in case I ever need to reload from a certain spot, so you should have no problem using different save files. Be careful, though, as the save icon is always the same; you'll have to check the character name or location/playtime to make sure you're on the right file.
