Lovely Ghibli
Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch had one of the more memorable art styles on the PlayStation 3, so it’s perhaps no surprise to see the cult JRPG remastered for the PlayStation 4. And here’s your first look at it in action, courtesy of IGN. There are few surprises here, and the presentation has undoubtedly aged somewhat – but it’s a great title, and one well worth revisiting when it drops on 20th September.

Always liked the art style of this, but a few things put me off the 2nd game. Will defo pick this up at some point as i never had a PS3.
This was my favourite game on the PS3 and ever since booting up its sequel I've wanted to play this one again. This will tide me over nicely until the new games come out a bit later on
Got the Plat on the PS3 version loved the game but not sure I can put in another 100+ hours. I think I preferred the pokemon style combat in this one to the combat in the new one.
Familiars are ace in this. Gotta collect 'em all for that plat.
I love the sequel to bits, but wasn't the biggest fan of the first game's combat, but I may give it another shot.
Must. not. talk. and. get. my. push. mates. MAD.
But then again familiars>2nd game little things.
Still utterly gorgeous - I prefer the visual style to that of the sequel. The combat was an issue largely because of the ridiculously dumb AI, but I'd love to give this another play.
@ApostateMage Spent hours farming that stupid gold duck for the plat...
the story was trite and the boss battles near the end were very unbalanced, but it was a pretty fun game. since the ps3 had the worst selection of jrpg's of all the sony consoles, this one stood out from the pack. it is sad to see how poorly the sequel was received... i have yet to play it, but i am expecting it to be a step down from the first entry.
@Porco the second is a very good game in it's own right, I think the problem is they have tried to make it too overly familiar whilst at the same time removing things people loved, like the familiars and Drippy
I really would have loved 4k
