Ni No Kuni: A fantastic RPG experience



Ni No Kuni. Not an easy name to remember. But once you play the game, it is a name you will likely never forget. Stunning anime-like graphics really help to bring the characters to life. Ni No Kuni has a familiar catching system that is semi-reminiscent of a classic RPG fan favorite, Pokemon. The monster catching is where the similarities cease, because Ni No Kuni is a classic in its own right. RPG fans will forever be thankful for the in depth battle system, memorable storyline, and loveable characters and familiars. Ni No Kuni is a must play for any RPG lover.

Ni No Kuni is a great game for a child's first RPG experience, but also has a storyline capable of captivating adults. Overall, it is one of the best RPG's that I have had the pleasure of playing, and I look forward to playing more RPG's that are similar to Ni No Kuni. Have you played any good games lately? Let me know what you think about Ni No Kuni, and any other games you think we should all be playing. Feel free to leave a comment with your suggestions.

Resonance of Fate: Best RPG ever?

Resonance of Fate (End of Eternity) battle video from YouTube.

Resonance of Fate is hands down one of the most intriguing RPG's that I have ever had the pleasure of playing. The story, the battles, and the characters really bring this game to the top level of gameplay in any role playing game. Tri-Ace and SEGA came together to create Resonance of Fate, and they nailed it.

One of my personal favorite parts of the game is the weapon customization system. In Resonance of Fate, you are in complete control over how your guns respond. You can have guns geared towards charge acceleration, charge speed, bullet focus, or all three. 

The above gun is one of my own, and as you can see it is mostly customized heavily with barrels and barrel adapters. This ensures that my gun has great bullet focus. The gun below is customized heavily with scopes, and doesn't have nearly the number of barrels. This ensures that the gun charges faster, and therefor does much more damage. When dual-wielded together, these guns are a deadly combination.


This game speaks to me, and many other JRPG lovers. although it is not like most JRPG's. In fact, this game is so unique that you just have to play it to understand it. I have 150+ hours of gameplay, and this game is still giving back to me. All in all, Resonance of Fate is a steampunk masterpiece.
