Nice, been saving some reward certificates.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

BUY. Great game.

Warning: it starts slow.

 

[Dolphin_Butter]

Good price, but no money. Some day, sweet prince. :'(

 

[DracoBlade]

BUY THIS NOW!

It's essentially the closet thing to classic JRPG gold since.....well it made me feel like i was playing Earthbound, made me feel like a kid again

One of my personal GOTY contenders. I cannot recommend this game enough.

PRAISE BE GHIBLI!

 

[Soulflarz]

I feel proud to have bought it on the sale before our resident bot tweeted/GAF'd it :'D

 

[ZeroCDR]

Waiting for Amazon price match *crosses fingers*

 

[Domino792]

BUY. Great game.

Warning: it starts slow.

Yea anyone interested in JRPG's who hasn't picked this up yet needs to now, that price is a steal.

 

[GekigangerV]

*never mind*

Just searched for it on the site and then it popped up.

Does the mid game drag really hard like I have heard? I haven't played a JRPG in years and Ni No Kuni strangely piqued my interest. I don't think I can handle grinding for hours through it though if it is not a consistently paced game.

20 bucks is tempting though.

 

[Franklinator]

I got around 6 hours in and lost interest in it, it starts off so easy and slow. I've heard it gets much better, though. If anyone's interested in it, I still say it's worth a shot at that price.

Also, Need for Speed: Most Wanted is $15 at BestBuy at the moment. I don't recall it ever being lower. I'm kind of tempted to get it.

You don't have to go out of your way to grind, unless you want to of course. The game isn't particularly difficult, depending on which monsters you capture and raise/use. The story's charming, if a little clichéd and simple, but it's a good buy at $20 bucks.

 

[ajim]

I wish this was on Vita, I don't own a PS3

 

[Majima Everywhere System]

I just dove back into Xenoblade too and still have 40 hours in that. Still, my girlfriend is a Ghibli fan, but has no exposure to games. I thought this might draw her in even just watching it. I may pick it up at this price. Not too concerned about getting it any cheaper.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Worth every dollar.

This game is incredible.

 

[luokyl]

Game deal threads always make me sad I don't live in the US. Would totally get this otherwise.

 

[CSX]

Just bought!

 

[cafemomo]

Very tempting to get.

I don't know if I should though. I love me a good JRPG, but I don't want my backlog to increase.

 

[batbeg]

Thanks for the heads up, bought.

 

[Pejo]

Thanks for the heads up, OP. Picked this up!

 

[Mental Atrophy]

Loved this game but I wish you assigned actions to face buttons instead of being menu driven. The challenge stems more from being able to navigate to "Defend" than actual decision making in combat.

 

[Synless]

Bought, I was going to get it at $30 (which it has been) but held off due to Tales of Xillia being so close. At $20, I can't resist that price.

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

Thanks! Been waiting for this one to come down. Had a $5 RZ certificate, so ended up being $16.xx after tax. Not bad at all.

Is that the new one?

 

[Synless]

Is that the new one?

Yes.

 

[Franklinator]

Is that the new one?

Yeah

 

[Shin]

That's dirt cheap, I envy US players sometime
Bought the game some months ago but have yet to play it, girlfriend played it through infront of me -_-

Good looking game and anyone who's into JRPG's should try it!

 

[Booshka]

Is that the new one?

Yes.

Or the old one, depending on how much you like Razor Callahan.

 

[Dawg]

Just follow this thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=504187

I'm assuming you're EU

 

[saveweyard]

I wish the combat in this game wasn't absolute shit, because it is gorgeous.

I'd recommend Crimson Shroud, another Level-5 RPG, over this.

Edit: Although support for JRPGs in the US is always good!

 

[I2amza]

Buy this game. I just recently bought it and I am loving every bit of my play through.

 

[Synless]

God of War Ascension is only $20 too. Another one to check off my list.

 

[BlockheadBrown]

Lowest price yet

Thanks for putting this up!

 

[Lizard with a ladder]

It finally hit's that $20 sweet spot days after the Steam sale. My poor backlog

Bought.

 

[Wensih]

Damn and I payed $60 in January... I should have waited.

 

[Ashtar]

Tempting but I know if I pick it up I'll never finish it.... SMH

 

[Ghazi]

Or the old one, depending on how much you like Razor Callahan.

Yeah

Yes.

Thanks, I've been so confused between all the different subtitles and then they go and even reuse them.

I'll probably get 2 copies for me and a friend.

 

[makingmusic476]

Fucking Best Buy. I thought "perfect opportunity to finally spend all those Reward Zone certificates I've been too lazy to print out!"

Nope. They're all expired.

Still got the game, though. I've been meaning to get it for a long time, and would've gotten it at release had I thought I'd have the time to play it.

 

[kierwynn]

Thanks OP! Just bought it! I've been meaning to pick this up, but kept putting it off. Absolutely no excuse not to snag it for $20!

 

[Nowhere Man]

Everybody get this! It's not quite the "savior of JRPGs" some were hoping for and I'm not real fond of the combat but it's still a pretty great game. The graphics/art are stunning and I love that it has a classic style RPG overworld that's sadly fallen out of favor the last several years. One review I saw called it "RPG comfort food" and I'd say that's about right. My #4 game of the year so far.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

I am willing to try at this price.

 

[-PXG-]

Online only or also in store?

 

[Gillian Seed]

My favorite HD game this Generation. I even took the time to Platinum it. So much fun!

 

[XanaviF30]

Thanks! Got GOW:A also!

 

[Chris R]

I think a trip to BB tomorrow morning is in order.

 

[Rflagg]

I sort of forgot about this game at this price so bought.


Anybody know how well it sold?

 

[Rad-]

I found it quite boring. It's a nice looking game though. Probably the best thing in the game is the inventory item art. Maybe the best out of any jRPG.

 

[georgetheplushie]

Ordered. Thanks for the notice.

 

[Bad_Boy]

awesome. I'm totally going to price match it tomorrow.

 

[charlequin]

Grabbed one. Time to see what all the fuss is about!
