Like most young people in the JRPG, Oliver is a person who is destined to save the world. He lived in Motorville, a peaceful town where hospitality and smiles are not a difficult thing to find. Although this adventure will bring Oliver to the parallel world, the city still has a considerable role.
Oliver is not the typical hero in general. He is a good boy, naive, and full of energy. Alas, everything had changed when her mother died. But the hope is still there - it turned out the mother had a soul mate named Alicia the Great Sage who is now held captive by Shaddar, parallel ruler of the world. For Oliver, beating Shaddar is the only way to save his mother in the real world. But for residents of parallel world, surrender means Shaddar safety.
Oliver began the adventure of pure-hearted - but it broke because of the tragedy that happened to him - in a parallel world. There beside Drippy, fairy figure who provide comic elements and humor into this story. However, the faithful sidekick would not be much involved in combat as Oliver will be assisted by the familiar.
Pet system like Pokémon become one of the attractions is that Oliver has a title familiar to help him in battle. You are allowed to capture and store up to 400 familiar, divided into several different types. However, overall, they can be divided by function: melee, magic, and support.
Each familiar to evolve - or so-called metamorphosis process - up to two times. To do this, the creature in question must reach a certain level and a given drop. Depending on the type, any kind of drop familiar requiring different to evolve. Although evolution provides the potential and capabilities and much stronger than before, doing this also to be paid with the return of familiar to even the first level has been stepped on level 50 while doing it.
Battle begins once you touch the opponents are visible on the map. The game adopts the Active Time Battle System where the opponent remains active when you're thinking about your movements. Each character is allowed to bring up to three familiar in every fight, and the exchange of which can be done easily and quickly. Each familiar has a stamina that determine the duration of their resilience on the battlefield. When finished, it had to replace another familiar pending stamina replenished.
Like most RPGs, HP and MP is also one important element in this title. In addition, your Drippy and conquered enemies will drop green and blue orb, each of which can add HP and MP. As usual, endless HP entire party will be game over. When this happens you will be faced by two options: continue the game without losing any of that has been achieved since the last time to save game by paying 10% of the amount of money owned or exit to the main menu.
Although the primary mission is to save Alicia Oliver the Great Sage in order to be reunited with her mother, it does not mean this game will be minimal side-quest. There are two objective side you can do, namely Errand and bounty. Buy complete the form stamps useful for filling merit. Each collected some merit can be exchanged by a number of bonus features or additional capabilities.
Errand highlights the naive and good Oliver where he was always ready to help people in order to create a peaceful atmosphere in a parallel world. Objective of the most prominent and dominant heal 'broken heart' where Oliver is required to 'take care' of certain people and move them to the needy. While the bounty requires you to beat the unique creatures are scattered throughout the region.
Speaking about the region in a parallel world, Ni No Kuni brings the features that have long been absent from the world of RPG: world map. Comparatively expansive game world is divided into several regions that vary. Along with adventure, Oliver can explore all regions using multiple transports varied, including fast travel from town to town.
Magic has a very important role in this game. Not only as a supporter of the battle alone, but magic is also a daily element Oliver. You will use it to complete a number of side-quests, solve puzzles, or even to open the way to continue the adventure.
One advantage is the visual Ni No Kuni, Level-5 which has collaborated with Studio Ghibli to present a world full of color, sweet, and charming. Ghibli fans certainly have been familiar with the typical hand-drawn animation that can be seen in the FMV and form a very unique character and varied. When entering the in-game graphics, all displayed using cell shading style that still looks beautiful.
Ghibli elements are not only felt in terms of visuals, but also songs. Joe Hisaishi - already several times working on Ghibli animation song - has been appointed to draw up its soundtrack. Presented by the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, the songs that brought sounds phenomenal, matching the visual beauty this title. In addition, for those who do not like Japanese animation in English dub does not have to be disappointed because this game provides features dual voice with English subtitles.
Conclusion
The title is like a love letter to the Level-5 JRPG fans who lately seems to have been abandoned by most developers and pulisher. Not just perform the visualization very beautiful and charming, this game also has a very satisfying depth of gameplay and story that deserves to be followed. Beyond the perception a lot of people who say that the game is 'less mature', Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is a mandatory game for PlayStation 3 owners, and any RPG fan.Rating: 9.5 (Perfection)
