would you mind explaining the battlesystem of the PS3 Version?
With realtime movement and command based attacks inside the battle encounters, it seems like an interesting battlesystem. Battles seem a bit slow, though.
can you comment on the rumors that the PS3 version is too hard? what difficulty did you play on and how was it?Battle in the PS3 version is real time. You switch between your summon creature or to the player character. You can multiple summons ready since they all run on a summon timer. When that runs out they need to go back and recharge, where you can summon a different monster or use the main character.
Using the main character they also come with skills of their own which can be used in battle or as support.
It might look slow, but some of the fights can be faster paced depending on what your play style is.
Overall its real well done and pretty easy to get into. But its a bit like rock paper scissors with the different element / damage types and what works better against what. So its not just make one uber monster to plow through everything. Having a balanced party of monsters is important. If not makes fights a lot harder.

I am actually glad the battles are slower. When hearing about the game originally, I actually hoped they would go completely turn-based (like the DS version), as that is my preferential combat system. However, I am by no means turned off by it and I am looking quite forward to the game.

I really like the battle theme.. from the few tracks I heard, I guess the entire OST will be enjoyable.You are constantly issuing new commands each time the "command action" timer runs out. And its all done in real time.
Anyways while typing out everything is nice try and just watch this video. Since seeing is believing and all that lol.
Not really any spoilers, since its just a random encounter battle in the desert region.

This could be considered a spoiler for those who want to see the game first hand fresh. So click at own discretion.

Overall this is literally a personal GOTY for 2011. Just due to how much content and quality was packed into this title. Beautiful does not even begin to say what this game is.
Thanks for the video, that does look like fun to play.
And I like what I see in the (spoiler) list of things that will be in the game, especially the. That is something that is lacking at lot in more current RPGs.world map
About how long would you say the game is? Would you say it is quite epic in length and story?

Overall Id say the game has an EXCELLENT soundtrack. Really do dig it a lot and am sure those who love RPGs in general will also. The various music fits the settings well.
it's available on amazon.de !!!

I pre ordered it haha now I only need a PS3 until January I hope the new ps3 ultra-slim (or whatever) will be released by then
Just bought on thehut.com for 60£ woot woot They have a 2,50£ instant discount and was able to add a promo code for 5£ less. Those details and finishing in that book seem to be worth the total price.
My biggest concern for you guys with the English language version would be how much TLC is being put into the VA work for the game itself. Since that will really make or break a lot of things I think.
Doesn't the English (well European version at least) come with the Japanese language track + subtitles?
The game will have dual language support..Not sure on that one. If it does though more power to you guys! Truthfully I dont look up that much info in regards to Western releases of Japanese titles, which is why am not certain about the voice track stuff. Wish I could be of more help with that.
Since do think the voices is what will really make the game. Hell it really makes any game that uses voices. Poor voices = instant turn the game right off and potentially sell for me. Regardless of it being western or japanese.
The game will have dual language support; youll be able to switch between the English and Japanese voice over with English subtitles. Itll have subtitles for English, French, German, Spanish and Italian.
The Japanese voice track is universally reviled as being terribly acted, so they're unlikely to do worse with the English. Plus, the videos we've seen so far show that the English voice work is fine.My biggest concern for you guys with the English language version would be how much TLC is being put into the VA work for the game itself.

JP voice over is pretty bad, so I might just stick with dub.
Good job I don't speak Japanese, so I can remain completely oblivious to whether it's bad or not.
Just pre-ordered on thehut.com for £62.95 - wow!
ShopTo order promptly cancelled.
I don't understand it either, and I can tell that it's bad. It's probably even worse if you understand what is said.
Buy with ShopTo, get a day before release. Buy with TheHut, get it a week after release.
I've never shopped with TheHut before, are they bad when it comes to delivery?
People obviously haven't heard the Welsh accent in the English dub.
No matter how bad the JPN track, I doubt it can be worse.
I have had pre-orders arrive on release day, though I have also had stuff turn up 2-5 days late so I guess it depends.....
I don't mind waiting a few days to save a tenner personally.
The Welsh accent is awesome and my boyfriend, who is Welsh, is excited for me to play the game because of Drippy's voice.
Just saw the preview on Gamespot, apparently Namco is doing a Comic-con exclusive where if you pre-order the CE at their booth you get a cape and an extra plush doll...
so you give them money now? lol how about no.
How limited is this limited edition? I want this one but don't have a PS3 nor do I play to buy one until 2013.
The Gamespot Comic Con stage show has a quick look at the plushie and the (exterior of the) book that's included with the Wizard's edition as well as a demo of the game.
It doesn't show much but at least you get an impression of the size of the items.

Namco Bandai has announced a unique promotion to expand the Wizard’s Edition of Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. Through a new program called Ninostarter, Namco will track the number of pre-orders for the game in North America on Club Namco.
