Some of my favourites were definitely: -Catastroceros, Najapatra and Sapdragon on Oliver -Griffrigerator, Umberwood and Grimray on Ester -Bone Baron, Monolith and Girlfiend on Swaine Then again these were the final teams I had, Sapdragon is a post game one but it's so good, can't really remember the last familiar I had on Oliver's team before Sapdragon

While I have the plat, know this information already, and have beaten the game twice, I love watching these ni no kuni videos :)

i got the dlc griffy and he pretty much has carried me through out 90% of the game so far.

Thank you for continuing to produce these videos. Your "Things I Wish I Knew..." videos inspired me to give this game a shot. Playing through in Japanese now and having a blast. Keep up the great work! :)

Thank you for the lagoon naiad recommendation. I am in need of a healer due to the way younger me built my team.

my personal favourites are thumbelemur, griffy, little bighorn, buncher and hurly. although I do have a soft spot for boggly boo, potty, shonky honker, eggroll and toko. I like the way they all act in battle, I like their movesets, but I especially love the way they look. so cute!! (fuddy daddies creep me out. get them away from me.) edit: my goodness, I had no idea tokotokos' friend rate was so low. I caught one of those before I got a normal toko (which has not happened yet), and pretty quickly at that. I must be lucky haha

The griffon is definitely the best familiar I had. It was serendipitously ironic, what I had named him. XD Carrey. Well, he did wind up doing just that the whole damn game for me. XD

I accidentally tamed a TokoToko once. it was the same battle I got 3 TokoTokos' in. Congrats on 500 subscribers! keep going strong

I'd say that auroralynx is one of my favorites because it's a pretty good healer + it can get nice healing moves on it's first stage of It's form, Also because I like cats :D

I keep thinking of trying out this game every time I see it but never get around to buying it. Familiars look cool. New sub here dropping a big like on this

My fave familiar was the pirate cat he almost single handedly got me through alot of the game and was also the familiar I used to beat the final boss and secret extra boss along with the arenas

Finally got a Dinoceros, took 45 of them to drop, 2nd one after only 5 attempts (!) Used the Gateway trick to speed it up, awesome beasty with Ear Splitter AoE attack a game changer, used to think Mite's Cut Loose was good 🤗

If you manage to tame a Toko, best healer ever.

Your video caused me to do what I hate doing which is grinding. But that dinoceros ended up winning the game for me essentially. Thanks!

it's better than the FAKE one on mobile

yes!!!! i was looking forward to a new video from you!!!

Great tips thank you 👏 Having a trouble getting Dinoceros, killed 30 of them but still no drop, will try levelling some more as I think the Nice attacks increase chance of taming beasties 🤔

While Catastroceros has better stats, Demoliceros has faster cooldowns and also additional 'Slash and Burn' which deals fire damage based on his attack power. This allowed him to circle through 3 damaging tricks without having to wait for cooldowns when fighting bosses, especially useful during Guardian of the Worlds farming. Also, give both Evil Idler and Bone Baron Leech and you won't ever need to bother about healing them again. At max level, they heal for 200+ per leech. Triumphants are beast tanks with decent damage. They can face-tank even the strongest magical attack 'Great Divide' with minimal damage. Acee, Greater Naiad and Turban Legends has the highest magic attack, exceeding 500 magic attack points and with useful spells. But AI still only prefers using melee attackers. Madcap is the only exception as 'Towering Inferno' gets used a lot and deals over 600 damage. Making it the 2nd strongest magical trick after 'Parp'. Also, contrary to popular beliefs that Nightcap has better stats than Madcap, that isn't true. I have brought up 3 different Napcaps of the same initial stats, all max leveled before metamophosis. My first Madcap has significantly more overall stats than the other 2. My 2nd Madcap has around 58 less stats while my Nightcap has 50 less. It is all RNG. That said, Nightcap is the worst of them since he does not have a powerful trick at all and has 1 less movement speed. As for the RNG, late bloomers with even stats like Napcaps and Inphants will have distinct differences in stats if you level up another. My first Triumphant has high defense and only 225 magic attack. My 2nd one has 336 magic attack with 25 less defense but higher magic defense. My final farming team after trying every familiar for speed-killing Guardian of the Worlds [Tank, Attacker, Healer]: Oliver [Scrapdragon, Demoliceros, Tundragorer] Marcassin [Angelixx or Eldritch Empress, Evil Idler, Docotoko or Greater Naiad] Swaine [Triumphant, Bone Baron, Phantasma] Esther [Wildwood, Madcap, Lotus Budbud] I only control Oliver, and swap between 'All-Out Attack" and well-timed 'All-Out Defend' when boss is casting spell. The 3rd familiars will never be used by AI in this formation.

Nice video, it be worth showing what your 9 or 12 familiars you ended up with for your team.

I love Firefry! He looks like Jack-Jack from the Incredibles

Whoa hold up we can tame familiars I literally just unlocked Esther before I put the game down for the day.

I love your videos! I am at the middle game right now, I wish I had chosen the healing fairy at the Temple of trials xD

huh,the nostalgia of ninokuni,also I am surprised certain mon didnt appear since its the most game changing mon there ever was,I played the game in Spanish so I am not sure if I have the correct name but I think it is Mandrake,the only nobility mon there is,having the most spell slots and a set of unique habilities,althought I understant its quite posible very few people actually got the mon

Very helpful, thanks ☺️

personally i think the best familliars include little bighorn (being a tank and is capable of a wide range of abilities and heals) also purrloiner having great physical attack and high attack speed sparkee is a great sp attacker and great thunder moves sleapeafowl is underrated with some of the highest so attack in game i think fightingale is a good attacker for esther as well monolith is an insane tank along with lumberwood clinketyclank is good for swaine with good atk napcap is a GOOD allrounder for esther sillymander has devastating magical attacks and physical attacks naja has insane physical attack shonky honker also gets pretty good And bone head is best for swaine Hope that helps!

Im here for your narration and accent. Also great content.

What are the best familiars for each character? Just so i know what to work towards?

Congrats on hitting 500 subs! Wish I saw this before I finished the game :P

great video🤙🏽

I might get this game August or September only probably is i'll have to download it off eshop and since i have limited internet it'll take forever.

Nice! Thankyou!

Playing this on my Ni No Kuni PS3.

Where in the game does it show me that Mite is vulnerable to confusion and resistant to poisons and curses? Thank you for the very helpful video!

Tamed a Toko on my second encounter when I just got the boat. It had 2 Mites with it which proceeded to both Cut Loose and wiped my party. Took everything to not scream at the top of my lungs.

100%'d the game just by using the main 3 Familiars. It took quite a while to do the Solosseum S Rank though but it was worth it :) My favourite familiar that I got out of the 250 are the Naja line and the Tokos, even though they're really prone to running away.

The one thing is a negative about this game for me is the catch rate. I started grinding on tokotokos at level 30. At level 99 I still hadn't caught a single one. Also resetting for planet star signs sucks. I probably should have paid more attention here because all my familiars ended up being star sign which made certain post game boss fights annoying when they're all doing purple damage. Anyway I did kill everything the game offered including the S rank and the guardian of world's and I gave up with the master alchemist quest and the 250 tame trophy. By the way griffins gets a genus bonus on Esther so its a waste on Oliver. Here was my party endgame... Oliver: Castaceros(dps) Claptrap(tank) GreaterNaiad(healer) Esther: Griffin(dps) Wildwood(tank) LotusBubbard(healer) Swaine: BoneBaron(dps) Paleolith(tank) SugarPlum(healer) SugarPlum/Naiad are better on the 4th character for the genus bonus but I never found the 4th character useful at all since I was never going to give up steal and tame and their dps and tank options for the genus bonus are pretty average (hoggle boggle / trumpet guy were the ones id probably use though plus a second paleolith/wildwood) Again I found the familiar tickets postgame useless because there was nothing left to kill

How do you metamorph Greater Griffy to it's third form? I'm struggling to find out.

Your awesome, thanks 😊

I just encountered 2 second form Tokos in the same battle and got 16,000 xp.

one of my favorite was a ballon very tanky i always change to it when i feel danger when i use it i take only few dmg

Bro why did i catch a toko and right after it a tokotoko when i can't get the dinoceros.....

I hope there'll be Ni No Kuni 3, based on the first one with additional breeding system and more monsters 😍😍

I was enticed by the "Girlfiend" familiar. Then I found out (the hard way) that it has dog shit accuracy, missing 8/10 attacks. 😐 Wasted so much food on her... just like irl girfriends, I guess.

In your experience better tokotocold or docotoko?

Lovely guide! And I had a question, I got the red dinoceros (Demolicero) in the ivory tower and I was wondering if I can use that in the tower and I would still get the S rank or do I have to get dinoceros?

The best ones were only in the Japanese PS3 version you can only play them on the PS3 version not PS4 Japanese version kind of makes me upset

I'm the best familiar...

Does anyone know how to make stones to get them to Metamorphabel ? I’ve tried to mix and match stones at the Cauldron But have fail Or is there a place in the game to buy Thank you P.s what a beautiful game 🥺🙏🏽

Can u get the griffy and the draggy on nintendo switch?

Which is the best way to taming them?

How do you get the earsplitter one?

It's pronounced Toe Koe not taco.

It's Mite, not Mi-tee. It's extremely obvious, almost all of the games creative sense is based on puns. The pun is might. The genus is Milite, same pronunciation. Even the possible 4 default names include Mitey, which is not Mite. Finally, it's a very poor familiar even mid game

This is supposed to be a video of THE BEST familiars yet you only named 2 somewhat good ones you missing a lot

mite pronounced MIGHT
