To those who've played this game (might be a few days until people play it, but here goes):

I'm a fan of turn based RPG's, but I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with them. I loved Final Fantasy 9 (only one I've played so far). I've also played Eternal Sonata but found it too grindy. The story wasn't enough to keep me going. Then I tried Valkyria Chronicles but wasn't into the combat system. Also I found the dialog cringeworthy and slow.

What do you think my chances are of liking Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch? Is it comparable to the games I've mentioned; it is better? Looking for some input to decide whether to buy this or not. Thanks!
