Yes.04whim said:Now I've always said "Gibli" instead of "Jibli". Am I saying it wrong?
The tutorial isn't 17 hours, it's more like 6 hours with 70% of that being skip-able Gibli animated cut-scenes. The game just has a tendency to tell you obvious things that you already knew. Like what Zelda games do.Assassin Xaero said:Wait, what? The "tutorial" on this game is 17 hours, too? Like Final Fantasy XIII? But XIII gets hate for having a "20 hour tutorial", but this game gets love because it is "so long" (seriously, that is about all I've heard about the game, that it is really long). Why is one ok but the other isn't? Oh wait, that's right, other is Final Fantasy so it must get hate.
FFXIII gets justifiable hate for being a series of really pretty but ultimately restrictive corridors with one really big room or two to spice things up, the 20+ hour tutorial is annoying but not nearly as much as the former.Assassin Xaero said:Wait, what?

Are we playing entirely different games? you need to grind like holy fuck for exp and for money(since even the basic potions cost several hundred bucks out the gate) the only creepy thing about oliver is how he is always so chipper and polite despite the situation at hand where any other rational person would be enraged.OuendanCyrus said:I've been pretty much been playing only NNK the past week or so and I think I'm only 70% through the game. There's not a lot of grinding required as I thought to have believed going into the game, the art style is fantastic but there's a bit too much talking in some scenes and far too much hand-holding throughout the majority of the game. (You know what to do, right? The TAKE HEART SPELL!) Oh yeah, and Oliver's tolerable as a character but he's still just a little creep.
No, no... multiply that by 2. FF13 had about 40 hours of tutorials, and as opposed to Ni no Kuni, its combat wasn't complicated at all. But I admit that waiting so long to give you 'All Defend' and 'All Attack' was a giant dick move for Ni no Kuni, turning the first 3 or 4 boss fights into nightmarish selfish bouts of 'fuck your companions, kill the boss solo'.Assassin Xaero said:Wait, what?

I thought the main issue people had with Final Fantasy 13 was that it was extremely linear, to the point where you were forced into particular characters for most parts of the game.Assassin Xaero said:Wait, what?

Yes you can. It's 0.AC10 said:and there are a lot of really small complaints I have with the combat UI (like you can't see party member's MP unless you switch to them,
Technically not. The word is Italian and it's the name of Miyazaki's favorite plane model. In Italian they pronounced Gibli, but Miyazaki read it wrong in the book because foreign spellings confuse people and he pronounced it Jibli. He later found out this mistake and he and his friends had a good laugh.04whim said:Now I've always said "Gibli" instead of "Jibli". Am I saying it wrong?
I've always said Gibli as well. In fact, I'm going to keep saying it that way!04whim said:Now I've always said "Gibli" instead of "Jibli". Am I saying it wrong?
