As a sequel to Wrath of the White Witch, it fails. Though the world and characters are still good looking, Studio Ghibli didn't have as much development as they did in White Witch but their influence is still here.
Instead of sending out familiars and using spells, Ni No Kuni 2 has an action style game play like FF VII Remake, which I don't mind.
My main problem with Ni No Kuni 2 is the story. White Witch had a dramatic and emotional story with twists and turns that were unexpected. Revenant Kingdom's story doesn't get interesting until Chapter 7 which is near the end game.
Side Quests are aplenty because Kingdom building is a major factor and recruiting citizens BUT the side quests are repetitive and boring.
Skirmishes are also new but they are also boring, dull and tedious.
There are some good ideas in this game but if they do a Ni No Kuni 3, I want to see an interesting story and BETTER side quests.
