Yeah, I think we need help.
Playing on normal and i'm noticing that there is a slight spike in difficulty every time you get into a new zone/area on the map. I've had to do some grinding when i move to a new area and i'm basically fighting everything that doesn't run away from me from the previous zones. I don't mind it though but i know some people hate grinding, even though it's basically a part of JRPG.
Nothing, there's just a page in there with the 'signature' of the name you selected that you agree to the terms of agreement of the book so to speak.

the in-game wizard companion. is this using that sony zooming tech thing?
Downloading now! Will I get to play it tonight? Probably not, PS3 seems to love not utilizing my 100Mb/s connection.

Nope, because on EU Psn actually you can only pre order the game with a 700kb download. The full game will be unlocked at the right (WRONG!) date: 01/02/13

Create a US PSN account and buy credit from Amazon (using a fake US address). Profit.

too much effort, so little space on my hd ... better wait for the physical release.

Still stuck at work, but I am definitely picking this up on the way home tonight. Played through the demo last night and loved it. Haven't really played a good jrpg since Lost Odyssey. Looking forward to this!
Barely into it because Ive taken so much time being baked and soaking in the world, but jesus christ. If you grew up in the prime Squaresoft era of the 90's, then this is your cup of tea laced with every sprinkle of pure awesome. fuck nostalgia. this is the real deal all over again.

Still waiting for the Wizard's Edition to arrive later this week, but my guide came in today.
I have to say I'm really impressed. Didn't know there was like 50+ pages of interviews and concept artwork hidden in it. Shocked that Amazon has it backordered a good month or two now, guess it must be selling well.

Maybe? I hear that Targets only have like 10~ copies in stock. I'd call beforehand (though explaining what "Ni no Kuni" is might be a hassle) or just check it out while shopping for other things. Target actually stocked the game last week and put it on shelves but it could not be sold until today. Hope you can get it!
It was #1 on the Best Buy preorder ranking and there's also this...
The game also appears to be selling with most shops selling out but these are also places that only stocked like 5-10 copies each... but it's still a sellout... I guess?

From what I've been reading the difficulty spikes up towards the end, and I assume thats because they expect you to do sidequest and take effort to raise your mons

This made me go run to my PS3 and buy the game instantly. And I was just browsing the thread on mobile while lying in bed.
Screw the waiting. I want to play this asap. Hopefully the download will be ready when I'm awake in a few hours.

I've been playing the game for a while and think I got the hang of everything by now. Anyways I came to warn future owner's of this game and people just starting it off.
SAVE YOUR GAME FREQUENTLY!
I can't specify because I don't want to spoil anything, but i thought I was safe at a certain part of the game but was blindsided by a random boss. I didn't save the game about 15mins from that part of the game so I would've been really crapped if I didn't win it (I was literally running away half the battle because I didn't want to lose and start over). So this is just a warning to some. Like I said I can't specify the part (I'm guessing ppl far in the beginning of the game know what I'm talking about) but I'm just warning people.

So the area they start you out in...I hesitate to cross the street because Oliver's a child and it's fucking dangerous. What if he got hit? First thought that came to mind. This game is having a marked effect on me.

Ok, I kind of have a problem with this game already. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I can see why someone says it can be hard.
The thing is that enemies have these special attacks that are DAMAGING. Like they can knock 30% of your health sometimes. You see them powering up, and you want to use defend, but it seems impossible. You have MAYBE 2 seconds to cancel your attack, use the dpad to switch over to defend, press defend. It happens in real time, so by the time you can hit defend, you've already been hit with the special attack.
There doesn't seem to be anyway to pause the action when you seem them powering up to choose defend.

uhhh..you can use L2/R2 to scroll through menus, so you can use the left analog stick to move and L2/R2 to scroll menus.
