wot

Non me lo sarei mai aspettato.

A questo punto forse potrei provarlo :loris:

 

[Geddoe]

Continua ad essere interessato.

Tuttavia lo stacco che si verifica fra la Wolrd Map e l'esplorazione standard è troppo "pesante", proprio a livello meramente visivo e stona terribilmente.

Spero che ci mettano mano.

Un paio di brevissime info su NnK2.

Nuovi sistemi di gioco e seiyuu (o anche no).

Creating a kingdom is a major theme of Ni no Kuni II, but what kinds of new systems are there?Hino: “Of course, a system for creating a kingdom will appear. That being said, that doesn’t mean you’re actually going to be building a town. It’s a system in which the arrangement of your workforce is what’s vital. What kind of kingdom you build depends on how you play, so you can enjoy building your own kingdom different from those of other players.

“Also, although it’s a different element from kingdom creation, there is a very big secret related to an ‘important new system’ regarding the fact that the field map appears in the style of a diorama.

“While I can’t say anything yet, this is a fairly anticipated system that, with this system alone, is enough to make me want to make a separate game.”

What’s up with the Japanese voice cast?

“I don’t want to let out any hints yet, but we’re going to have a lot of really wonderful actors.”

■ Story

One day, a boy became a king…

Evan, a young king driven out by the country through conspiracy.

After being separated from someone important, Evan decides to build his own kingdom.

This is the story of a boy who becomes a great king and overcomes a great evil.

About Ni no Kuni

Ni no Kuni is another world that exists in a different place from this world.

That world has a completely different history from our world.

Where is that world? How is it connected to this world?

While protecting something important that was lost in the distant past, Ni no Kuni continues to exist.

■ Characters

Evan

“Let’s build it together, our kingdom…”

The former king of Ding Dong Dell. A young boy who was enthroned at a young age after his father, the preceding king, was killed. He has a kind heart and a good head on his shoulders, but because of his secluded personality, his quality as a king was doubted. He was driven out of Ding Dong Dell through a coup. When he was separated from Alfini, who acts as both a mother and older sister to Evan, he decided to become a king. During his adventure, he soon declares to unify the world of Ni no Kuni and founds his own kingdom.

Roland

“I’ve made a decision, I’m staying here in this world.”

As president, he often wonders to himself if he’s pulling the country along properly or if what he’s doing is is right.

Tani

“Evan, I will go with you.”

The daughter of Gatto*, a boss of air pirates. Since she was raised by Gatto, who is naturally bossy, she has a very strong-minded personality. She actually likes girlish, cutesy things, but since it isn’t in her character, she doesn’t show it much. Since Gatto found her when she was a child, she and Gatto are not blood-related.

*Gatto is a romanization of ガットー. We do not yet have an official English name.

Higgledies exist not only in the hearts of people, but in the hearts of all things including animals, and elements such as fire, water, and wind, and their power can be borrowed.

Prima del previsto hype per il probabile trailer alla conferenza Sony fra qualche ora

 

[Koyomi Araragi]

Almeno questo potevano tenerselo per la conferenza e invece se lo sono bruciati nel pre show, bah. Mi piace, artisticamente è sempre una gioa da vedere, neanche sapevo fosse "action" il battle system, mi garba. Meno pero i personaggi Chibi (bruttini) nella World Map, anche la theme della stessa è arrangiata

Ni no Kuni II avrà il multiplayer.

[video=youtube;vWXNgqL-t8g]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWXNgqL-t8g

Intervista con varie info...

Tell us a little bit about the game.Hino: “This is the sequel to the very successful game Ni no Kuni, which was also released here in the U.S. This time around, our protagonist is a child who is tasked with unifying the world. He does this by travelling to different countries and fighting various enemies throughout the world.”

Tell us about the gameplay modes and styles

Hino: “At its core, Ni no Kuni is an RPG game where you traverse the world map and go on adventures. However, a large part of the mechanics of the game deal with the kingdom building. Throughout your adventure you collect things to help your kingdom grow, and that is a big part of the gameplay as well.”

Tell us about the characters.

Hino: “Although there will be a wide range of characters Evan will encounter in Ni no Kuni, today I’d like to focus our attention on the five kings we will encounter in the story. As he travels to these different kingdoms, he encounters different kings. Each of these kingdoms Evan travels to has their own respective issues and problems. Through helping the kingdoms resolve these issues, Evan grows as a leader, as a king. There are important lessons that Evan learns from each kingdom, which help him grow as a leader.”

How did you improve the battle system?

Hino: “Even in the era of the first Ni no Kuni, I could tell that there was a new trend in RPG combat. People really wanted something cool and flashy. So we put a lot of effort towards the effects and action sequences in our combat system. We also significantly improved the system mechanics behind switching characters. Additionally, Higgledies can be used to help stop a boss or to implement a special attack. There will be multiple levels of strategy in switching characters for different kinds of support. Compared to standard RPG combat, this gameplay is really fun.”

Will the old cast return, such as Mr. Drippy or Oliver?

Hino: “Although I can confirm that there will be all sorts of cool characters in this sequel, for now the characters that are returning will remain secret. I would love for our fans to play the game and enjoy the surprises.”

Will there be multiplayer?

Hino: “Yes, there will be multiplayer. You will be able to play online with your friends in various capacities.”

Do I have to play the first game to understand the story?

Hino: “So this is a completely different story. Even those who have not yet played the original will enjoy immersing themselves into this game. That being said, there are easter eggs that players familiar with the original will notice, and they might enjoy the game on a different level than those who have not played the original. But either way, you will still be able to enjoy the game all the same.”

Info

■ Higgledie LeadersIf you look closely enough, you’ll see a slightly stylish Higgledie among a group of Higgledies. This is the “Higgledie Leader.” There are various types of Higgledie Leaders.

The Higgledie Leader brings together a big group of Higgledies. A circle can be made around the Fire Higgledies, and a special icon will be shown above the Higgledie Leader.

If you issue an order to the Fire Higgledies, they will form a dome-shaped defense barrier around Evan.

The defense barrier negates the the damage Evan receives. By making appropriate use of Higgledie Leaders in this way, you can fight through battles more with an upper hand.

Depending on the Higgledie Leader, the role of the Higgledies will significantly change.

Spoiler

■ Lofty’s Advice

Lofty will sometimes give you battle advice. When the enemy is down is your chance to strike! Use skills to deal heavy damage.

■ Kingdom Mode

By introducing new people of talent and technology to the kingdom established by Evan, you can receive various benefits on your adventure and in battle. By assigning people of talent to the right places, you can develop the kingdom more efficiently.

In order to develop your kingdom, you must focus not only on the castle, but manage the various facilities and people of talent around the castle. Since developing the kingdom results in a more favorable journey for the player, be sure to build up your kingdom.

As for how you will build your kingdom, more information will be shared in a future update.

Interessante la possibilità di creare il regno. Chissà se verrà gestita nello stile di Dark Cloud/Dark Chronicle o se sarà qualcosa di differente.

 

[Kurumi]

No vabbè raga, anche questo potenzialmente da day-one (ma non posso comprarmi tutto ).

Il primo mi ha lasciato un po' con l'amaro in bocca per i suoi difetti ma questo sembra voler migliorare proprio dove il primo non convinceva

Spero venda bene come l'altro anche se manca lo Studio Ghibli stavolta.
