5.0 out of 5 stars Way Exceeded My Expectations!

I have never in my life bought a new release game, especially not preorder, but I love Studio Ghibli and JRPGs, so Ni No Kuni really caught my eye. I decided to buy the guide with the game because I wanted to have info on all the familiars. Honestly, I didn't read the product description because game guides seem to be pretty standard, but wow I was really impressed with what showed up on my door. I saw that other places are selling this book for full price ($40), and it would have been worth every penny If I had paid that, but even better that Amazon has it for much cheaper!

This guide is hard covered, with high quality pages and printing. The pages aren't glossy but aren't really matte either, and they're nice and heavy. As a nice little bonus, there is a section on the game creation including concept art in the back, so beautiful! As far as quality, this is definitely a collectors item.

As far as content, I haven't gotten very far into the game yet, about 10 hours of gameplay, but I really like the way the content is ordered and no spoilers. The first section teaches you basics of the game, which I find myself going back to every now and then when something happens that I don't understand (like the familiar signs). The second section is a reference for familiars, ordered by type, but with an alphabetical index in the front. I haven't used this much yet, but it seems very complete in terms of information. Next comes the actual walkthrough. I really like the balance that this section has found between showing you everything available in the area you're in, but not going into detail about the things that you can't access yet. There are tons of pictures and detailed descriptions. I like that the guide is impartial towards any given path, unlike homemade FAQs that tell you which choices to make. Section 4 gives detailed descriptions of all the tasks and bounty hunts, although smaller descriptions are given in Section 3 as well. Last comes the Appendix which describes in detail enemies, weapons, items, and trophies.

Overall, I am incredibly pleased with this guide and the game. If you're on the fence, I say go for it! I bet in a few years it will be out of print and people will pay big bucks for it on ebay because the quality is just so phenomenal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unexpectedly amazing!
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2013

Basically this is one of the perks you missed out on when NIS dropped the ball on the Wizard Edition pre-orders.

Other reviewers commented on damage to the book, but I suspect those might be from 3rd party sellers or from one of the earlier Amazon.com shipments. My copy arrived in shrink wrap with not a mark or smudge on it. I almost didn't remove the plastic it looked so good! The cover is white, so expect it to get dirty with use. You also get a code for a bonus download for a pet creature. Be careful with used versions if you want the pet, many used copies will have previously used codes.

This is more of a collector's book than strategy guide. Sure there are lists of quests and enemies and goings on, but many of these things are covered in the game itself in the journal, though it is hard to read and navigate in game. There is a lot of content in this book and it goes well beyond the 'strategy guide' aspect.

I applaud Brady for lately releasing strategy guides of this sort. Players can find so much information easily online that strategy guides without extra content would be going extinct. But with the additional interviews, artwork, and production sketches, these texts make an amazing item for fans of the games and collector's alike.

If you want a bare bones strategy guide to mark in and flip through roughly, perhaps this isn't quite what you want. Print a few pages from an online source instead (though it still has good - spoiler free - strategy guide content). But if you are like me, and love a game and want to know more about the production, then this is for you. I highly recommend it to fans of the game.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, if slightly flawed, companion
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2013

The Ni No Kuni strategy guide makes a fantastic first impression. It's well-constructed, the minimalist cover is great (if prone to finger-prints), and the pages themselves are beautiful. Just like the game, color pops EVERYWHERE throughout the book and it's really just incredible to look at.

Digging a little deeper, the wealth of information is simply amazing. Every familiar is covered in full detail. Every side task is covered in full detail with instructions and tips on completion. Every alchemy formula is given. Every ingredient and its locations are listed. All armor and weapons are covered. All the various areas of the game are covered in excellent detail and there is a full walkthrough of the game that will get you all the way through. In addition, there's extra artwork and interviews with the developers in the back.

So why is this "flawed"? Well, there are a couple of mistakes, in particular one on a side quest that will have you chasing the wrong kind of familiar. Also, much like the game itself, the maps are a little lacking. The guides to familiars and ingredients will reference locations by name but there's no central world map that shows all the locations in one place. This is exacerbated by the game itself which will reference things by the island name rather than the city on the island and which also does not include any maps that will list more than your current location's name. While a minor quibble, these are not insignificant flaws and thus are mentioned here.

Overall, though, this guide is invaluable. I have it next to me as I play and reference it constantly.

Una presentación muy cuidada, es extensa y en color.
Es tapa dura y en relieve lo que lo hace todavía mas apetecible.
En cuanto a la calidad de la guía no puedo decir más que excelente y una buena compra incluso si simplemente eres fan de los rpgs y no tienes el juego, porque vas a tener lectura amena para rato.
El único inconveniente es que está en inglés, así que si no le tienes medio, lo recomiendo totalmente,

5.0 out of 5 stars D'un qualité irréprochable !
Reviewed in France on September 5, 2014

C'est bien la première chose que l'on remarque quand on déballe la chose : une couverture épaisse, solide avec le logo du jeu en relief. Les pages sont aussi d'une excellente qualité. Concernant le contenu, tout est bien détaillé et illustré, la seule chose qui manque (même sur le net j'ai jamais trouvé l'info) c'est de savoir la probabilité, quand on rencontre un monstre, qu'il soit d'un signe ou d'un autre (surtout pour les planètes, qui sont d'une rareté...)

Sinon, pour 20 euros, c'est vraiment un très beau bouquin qui vaut le coup (à condition de ne pas être réfractaire à l'anglais :p).

I have fallen absolutely in love with Ni No Kuni - the battle system, the side quests, the characters, and most especially the art. I picked up the guide solely to complete my collection but it has become a great source to go to for help. It covers everything - story, side missions, hidden treasures, familiar locations, maps - you name it, it's there! It's also organized in a way that you can turn to different sections, and avoid spoilers if you just need a leg up with an errand or a location. It also comes with a special Burly familiar! Definitely worth picking up, and much cheaper than buying it at a local game store!
