Sample One Of The Most Anticipated JRPGs This Week
Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White WitchFor die-hard JRPG aficionados everywhere, this is the game that likely sits atop their "must-have" list in 2013.
And the best part is that they'll be able to sample it early. Namco Bandai Games and Level-5 have announced that a playable demo for Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch will hit the PlayStation Network on December 4 (tomorrow!) in North America and a day later in Europe.
The demo will allow you to battle not one, but two of the game's "most infamous bosses:" Guaridan of the Woods and Moltaan. If you weren't yet familiar (and that's unlikely, especially if you've been following RPG news in 2012), Ni no Kuni is the new JRPG developed by critically acclaimed studio Level-5. It features artwork and cut-scenes courtesy of the iconic Japanese animation company, Studio Ghibli, along with music from world-renowned composer Joe Hisaishi. The gameplay itself isn't purely old-school turn-based but at least it's partially turn-based, which is more than can be said for most RPGs these days.
Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is scheduled to arrive on January 22, 2013 in the US.

This is a great website.
Anyways, when you say "partially turn-based" Ben, what do you mean?

Max, he means it is an action/turn based hybrid.

It really seems like this will deliver the JRPG experience we have craved for on the PS3 for so, SO long! I have yet to even play Rogue Galaxy but I know this is a day one purchase for me, I may even get the special edition with the Magic book. Big hopes for this and a great way to start out an exciting year for the industry.

I have high hopes for this one. I like this guy's anime movies( i like Princess Mononoke best) so I'm interested to see Miyazaki's work in game form.

Hoping that that is the wake up call they need/the push that is required to get FFvs13 into my hands.

I can't imagine how shallow this generation would be without Level 5. Coming into the generation it was Final Fantasy and SE that I depended on. For obvious reason, that wasn't the case. There has only been one main FF entry, and it's not exactly the JRPG I enjoyed and became a fan of. On top of that, they're milking it. Of all the times a FF title could be made into a trilogy, it has to be FFXIII! They shouldn't even go as far as making a third title in any FF. Seriously SE??! Arrgghh. Rant over.

Also, hi guys! I've been coming to this website for about three years now but have never bothered to sign up and comment. I really like how mature everyone in the community seems to be, which is sadly hard to find in the gaming community. And obviously I really like all the articles and reviews by Ben and everyone. So yeah, hi. :)
