Ni no Kuni Wrath of the White Witch Remastered

i need more people to play this game its wonderful im so sick of all the playerbase and forums being from 10 years ago

It's Studio Ghibli Poke-DragonQuest. And it's kind of a modern classic.
The good:
The art design is fantastic. It's Studio Ghibli, what did you expect?
The music by Jo Hisaishi is epic and really puts you in that Miyazaki zone.
The animated cut scenes are just what you'd expect: charming and gorgeous.
The wholesomeness is off the charts. The giving and taking heart mechanic is unique, and provides an interesting way to grind upgrades - by helping people out with their emotional problems.
Drippy is the best annoying sidekick character in recent memory.
The Japanese voice acting is great, and what I've heard of the English dub isn't bad either.
The collectible fighting familiar system is fun.
Infinite inventory. Nuff said.
I finished the main quest in just over 50 hours, and that was really the sweet spot. Only one fake out ending, and it was not egregious.
The meh:
The side quests and bounty hunts can get repetitive, but if you don't do them, you're going to be underleveled and without a few important perks.
Grinding a bit is almost mandatory. Hint: There is a certain island that spawns a monster that will dump a ton of XP on you. Find it, and you won't need to grind for more than an hour or two to get where you need to be. But you didn't hear it from me...
The combat system can be a bit unwieldy, especially if one of your characters gets knocked out and you have to heal them on the fly. Definitely easier to deal with using a controller, so this is one of the few games I wouldn't recommend keyboard and mouse for.
Some familiars are just better than others. There are two or three that you will want to have in the late game, and finding an online guide of some kind will help you.
Oliver and his companions are kind of one note personalitywise. The downside of Ni no Kuni's family friendly feel is the lack of moral complexity or gray areas.
The verdict: If you like modern DragonQuest games, you'll like this. If you like Pokemon/Digimon monster training games, you'll like this. If you're a big fan of films like Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle, you will like this. At full price, it's a bit much, but if you see it for $20 on sale, do not hesitate.

Top 10 games for me. I used to watch Stampy play this game all the time. It was an addicting watch and an even more addicting play. 10/10

Beautiful and fun JRPG to play with your kids, PG-rating appropriate with fun stories and dialogue to read out loud. Combat is fun, sometimes simple enough that young kids can do it on their own, but with bosses a parent might need to take the controller. This is a great "first RPG" to play through with your elementary school-aged children. There are enemies and fighting but no "bad guys" and no killing. There's no actual vulgar language and no weird sex stuff. The obstacles to overcome involve characters dealing with strong emotions and helping each other to make the right decision instead of acting without thinking.

TLDR: Good for Japanese learner(it has furigana)
I am a Japanese learner trying to find the best game to learn Japanese in a fun way. I chose this game because it offers furigana. Currently, I am at the N5 level, and I find it challenging because for every cutscene and dialogue, I need to look up almost everything. It took me 10 hours just to get to the first fight, whereas according to a walkthrough on YouTube, it should only take 30-40 minutes of gameplay. However, I did learn a lot. One thing that is a bit confusing is the fairy dialog, which has a different accent. Overall, it's a really good game for Japanese learners.

76 hours of game time and I was finally done with the game. It was an incredible journey from beginning to end and I was so invested in the story and the characters. Sure, the combat system is a bit odd, the audio levels are a little bit off sometimes and some quests are a chore, but I will say this: Don't let the child-friendly Ghibli-look fool you - you'll have to fight with your claws out to finish this game.
