Did you ever play the second one all the way through to the dual path secret dungeon? Did you ever beat the final boss on hard? Or normal for that matter? I could barely scrape by at perfect stats and 100% item creation with perfect gear on EASY; it took me about 15 tries on normal even with that, and on hard I'm not actually sure he is possible to beat. He combines a lot of annoyingly difficult elements from both games, like Roxis' card destroyer skill, more cards=more damage (haste punishment, basically), unblockable counters, 1 shots to party with perfect gear...then the fight actually starts once you get him to a certain %, and if you don't win in a certain amount of time that is impossible for me to reach on hard mode, it's no longer possible to beat him due to the way the mechanic he uses works, which, if you haven't fought him, is

Still, I actually like the second more, it has my favorite Gotou Yuuko VA job aside from Hiro in Hidamari. Also, no FPS issues; the old school in the first one was barely playable. Some of the best sprite graphics, a top tier OST, fun skills...I wish more people had played it.
On topic though, I think I'm getting Ni no Kuni tomorrow, but it will be difficult to squeeze in actually playing it since Path of Exile is in OB as of last night, and I'm still playing TERA for now...
