The Ni No Kuni Thread: show Japan some love

[umberhulk]

I was level 28 when i got there and destroyed em.

[Arttemis]

Are there really 300+ familiars in this game?!?

[TheCiderMan]

Ugh had to order this thing from Germany because it was sold out everywhere here and I didn't wanna download the sucker. I keep seeing delivery vans go to other houses and I want to set them on fire and watch their witch hearts burn.

[PappaDukes]

Are there really 300+ familiars in this game?!?

Every enemy in the game is a potential familiar. So yeah. There are a ton. Plus there are 3 versions of each familiar. So there are tons.

[Victor]

4, but many of them can't be found in the world.

[PappaDukes]

Right, I forgot about the final form making you pick between two forms.

[Victor]

Oh yeah, right, I beat this game yesterday. Good times.

[PappaDukes]

Oh yeah, right, I beat this game yesterday. Good times.

How many hours? I remember Sterling saying he clocked in around 40, but I could see getting all the trophies could take considerably longer.

[Victor]

55 or something like that.

[PappaDukes]

Did you platinum it?

[Victor]

No, I guess that would take a good 80 hours for all the grinding to get the best familiars to top shape and finish all the errands.

[umberhulk]

I'll probably get in the 50s or so from clocking in sidequests.

[PappaDukes]

I'm going to try to do everything that I possibly can in this game. I wish their was an NG+, or at the very least, a nightmare mode to unlock. Of all the games that could, and should have one, this is definitely one of them.

[Victor]

There's some pretty hardcore stuff after you beat the final boss.


Oh, and that first mite you got? Useless for the harder stuff. Seriously. They make you morph it too early.

[PappaDukes]

They make you morph it too early.

I still have him in my party, but I hardly use him anymore. But yes, I was kinda pissed when they made me morph him. I was really hoping to keep him around to level 50, then morph. Oh well.

[Victor]

He's good, just not good enough. He pretty much stops getting stronger at level 70-ish.

[PappaDukes]

So I got a Toko familiar on my sixth go.

I had no idea that they were rumored to be so hard to catch until after I caught one.

I also had no idea they were such a bitch to level. However, I heard they can have 999 evasion or some shit?

Are they even worth having in your party? Anyone else using one?

[Victor]

700-ish EASILY on the last form. The first one gets 60~70 evasion EACH LEVEL. They're crazy good as healers too, if you can train them enough. Their max level is 5 for the first form and 10 for the last if I'm not mistaken, but it takes AGES to get there.

[PappaDukes]

I read there is a good farming location near Perdida, and you can use the Gateway trick to reset the spawning rates of the TokoToko that roam there. I'll have to give it a go.

[Victor]

Use mist veil.
