I've been on Ni No Kuni 2 as well and I'm in the post-game. The puzzle early on was pretty much the only puzzle in the game, but the battle mechanics were sub-par the entire time. The best thing I can say about this game is that the timing of the release date was brilliant. This game is the epitome of a slow season RPG. I almost feel like re-playing Ys VIII to wash out the bad taste of this one.

It's GregN man. Anything that would require a bit of effort is a no-no.

man i need to go back to that game. i got dozens of hours in to it but after a while i just got bored and dropped it.

GENESIS / SEGA CD:
EL VIENTO and Annet Futatabi - El Viento was cool but sort of bullshit. Especially the end with those cheating ass bats (thank goodness for cheat codes :D ). Annet Futatabi is a basic ass beat em up but decent enough i guess.

BATTLE MANIA GAMES: Finally finished the first one. Wasnt too hard once i figured out how the game actually worked. Damn good game. The second one so far is freaking awesome. I love love love the changes they made to the shooting system and the graphics are so much better. Difficulty is something else too. Played the first game through on normal, but playing the second one on hard. So far its way harder then the first game and im not sure if its by design (bosses and stages do seem harder and longer in general) or if its the selected difficulty but either way im loving it.

Personally I didn't find it to be that shit, it's a lot more 'training wheels' compared to the 1st game and some of the bosses seem like filler (Royal Rat Vanguard, etc..) but like you said there's tons to do, loads of exotic weapons and armor to collect and the world is yuge. Also, the multiplayer features work a lot better than the first game imo.

I'm enjoying it quite a bit right now--I played through the first two episodes so far. I like the active time events and the scoring and different choices/routes look like they'll give it some legs for replay value, especially for a RPG. I haven't had any problems with the limited use weapons yet, but, I've been stockpiling them, just in case, given your previous comments (maybe I'm just lucky, but I've been getting quite a few weapons from treasure chests and other hot spots). The leveling up weapon skills to level up your characters' stats is a bit unusual, but it works and it puts an interesting spin on advancement.
