Hopefully they have a character designer that creates something closer to Rogue Galaxy and as far away as possible from the awful Ni No Kuni II. That prince catboy kid is easily the worst main character design in years.

Hasn't the mobile phone mmorpg game literally just saved these guys? I am sure I read online recently it made more money than Pokémon go in its opening week or two.

Insane stuff.

Is Ni Ko Nuni a good game? Never played it.
The first one has great story and characters,great art direction but suffers from clunky combat and a stupid Pokemon mechanic that forces you to grind.

The second one has a much better combat but kinda mediocre story and characters.It also suffers from some stupid RTS battles that unfortunately some are mandatory to finish the game. Art direction and music are good but not on the same level as the first one.

In general the first one feels more like a unique collaboration between Ghibli and L5 and the second one feels more like a typical (but solid) L5 RPG.

Yessssss. Anything from the Ni no Kuni team is welcome and day 1 for me. 1 was fantastic. 2 was a bit different but still amazing.

It's actually legit terrible if you look past the graphics. One of the worst I've played. Every single mechanic is bungled, and the content is stretched extremely thin and isn't even compelling, at all, beyond the intro.

It's good that they are looking for new Talent.

Recent Level 5 games have looked and sounded great, but almost everything else about them is sub par
