The shit winds are blowing

I’m extremely late and just now purchased the remaster for super cheap lol. Thank you for the tips!

Bonus fact: If you go into the Wizard's Companion and onto the map part of the book, you can see where all the hidden "forests" (Ace of Spades), and all those 100 Hidden Treasures (Key Lock)

Another tip : as soon as you unlock the dragon, you can fly north of carabas. There's an area with monster at the top top of the map. The biggest monsters (grorignal in french) will drop a bottle of nostrum, item that restor all the mp. If not strong enough to defeat it, just steal the nostrum, then escape the fight. It is very usefull as you will never be able to buy nostrum.

Another tip: wait until your familiars have unlocked all their abilities before metamorphosising them. If you don't, you may lose certain abilities that wouldve been very useful.

I’ve just received the physical copy of this game. This is what I hoped Pokémon would be like in 2020.

This game really grows on you, I was a bit disappointed at first but after you get the hang of the combat system I can't stop playing

Most important merit reward: jumping around!!!!! Most essential unlock ever

*Return to Father Oak after every major story mission,* taking the time to return to him he will reward you useful items thru out the story ranging from strong potions, trinkets, weapons and armor

Stayed for the content, subscribed for the “jeepers” joke 😂

Another tip: Pay attention to the celestial signs (Sun,star,moon,planet) and know what are their strength and weaknesses. Each sign has a double version which are more stronger than normal. Planet and double-planet are the most rare so if you happen to encounter familliar with this sign, make sure to tame it. Another thing, some characters are better with certain types of familliar so pay attention to their types and partner them where they belong so that they become more powerful to the game.

A good tip that got me through this game was having a tank for each character (i.e.Bighorn for Oliver early, Anglerfish for Maru and the tombstone for Gyro) and always keep the AI away from using skills. The AI in this game is atrocious and will get itself killed and waste mp non stop. Best way to remedy this is having a tank on them. They won't be of much use in battle but at least they won't be much of a hindrance cause they will be using the tank most often than not. It's also good to keep a physical and magical attacking familiar for when you get to control them or have them go all out.

“Certain bosses take more damage from behind” Bashura: *am i a joke to you*

OMG the last bonus bonus tip cracked me up!! 😂 I did almost everything you said except for the star one, I loved exploring and doing bounty hunts while not forgetting where I should be going next (because I flipping get lost for hours looking for my destination in every single jrpg out there lol) Man I really can't believe it's on modern consoles now, and I can't thank you enough for hyping me up to play it earlier.. a masterpiece indeed ❤

Thank you so much for this video. I’m going to be playing it for the first time on my Switch and can’t wait! I played Ni no kuni 2 and I enjoyed it but I’ve been interested in paying the original since you’ve always held it in very high regard. The problem will be finishing before DQXI 😅

Secret Tip: Once you got the flying dragon go and capture the Dino Rawr familiar and level him up so #1: even the final boss wont kill you. (1 damage at level 5 3rd form.) #2: you will save yourself from throwing the controller when the battle system fucks you up every now and then coz this game is either grind or get beaten. And after that just sit back, relax and enjoy this wonderful game.

I played the 2nd game first cause I was never able to play this one on ps3. Never even heard of it until Rob talked about it on playstation access and was gushing about how amazing it is. Finally got to play it and damn this game is so much better than 2. Lightyears better to me. These tips are really good. I'm gonna play through again and keep them in mind

I agree with everything you said except selling the Sages Secrets potions. In the early part of the game the boss battles are really hard and you will need them to survive.

This is rad! Thanks for posting this... And all the helpful comments that came along with this. I got this game for my kids on the PS3 but they never got into it, and I never had the time to play it. Corona came and the game was on sale on the Switch! Score! Dialog is quite breathy, but I'm digging it so far.

Talk to the tree after every major story event

BRO you amazing person!! i didn't know about the triggers when navigating combat omg i've been clumsily using the d-pad. video liked!

Thank you so friggen much for the trigger tip for the battle menu. I had no idea, and this is going to make things a lot easier on me.

"There aren't any Great Sage's Secrets hidden in any clocks" 1,000 points for the Final Fantasy VI reference ;D I'm so excited to finally play this game, thanks for these :D

Thanks for the tips. I just picked this up on sale for the Switch and cant wait to dive in during Holiday break. Happy Gaming!!!

Something tells me I'm gonna end up really drunk, if I take a shot every time Oliver says 'Jeepers', and I know he says that word a ton in this game XD

Great tips for a newcomer to the party. Playing it for the first time on Xbox and loving it. Thanks for the video

This game is the best I missed it so much I'm so happy to be playing it again

Loved this game when it came out and it was instantly one of my favourite games. I started playing Ni No Kuni 2 which I liked but not nearly as much but it gave me the urge to replay it. I started it and got to about Castaway Cove. I stopped playing for a little bit and then heard it was coming out on the Switch so stopped playing and waited for that. When it came out I was at a busy point in my life so I couldn't play it but now..... I have it and I love it again.

Why am I watching this I’ve beaten the game like 3 times lol. Good video though this stuff is very useful

Tip #8: Get Dinoceros. That Familiar's final evolutions can break 400 Attack after equipment around level 10. It's stupid strong. Tip #9: Look for Toko and its evolutions. Those guys give a ton of EXP.

I've finished this game so many times now, I recommend it to anyone honestly

You got my like at the “L2 & R2” I got the game recently and don’t know why I didn’t fiddle around with them earlier.

Also, when your fight enemies with breath attacks to close with a familiar and you find that you can't dodge, I usually press L1 last minute and choose the person that owns the familiar which is usually a ways back from the enemy. It doesn't work all the time but it can help stop damage. Also I have 4 saved games of the org Ni no kuni and absolutely love this game so I thought I might bring this up. Thx

This was the very first game I ever got platinum trophy on back when it was a ps3 title.

I played the second one first and just got around to playing this one. It's so good!

also take a shot every time swaine says dammit. i love him so much

Omg what was the clip from the end of the video. I burst out laughing

Here's my Beat The Game Tip / Platinum Tip / Merit Award tips If you plan just to beat the game, just do tips 1, 2, 3 and 4. Tip 1: Play the game until the part you start capturing Familiars. (Be sure to get Jack-Be-Nimble and Jackpot as the two firsts merit awards). Tip 2: Backtrack to Ding Dong Well, capture 2 Danglerfishes (these dudes hits like truck). Tip 3: Keep progressing the game and capture Purrloiner and Monolith (both near Castway Cove). Tip 4: After you get the boat, immediately capture 1 or 2 Lumberwood (located in No Longer Mine). Tip 5: Keep progressing the game until you can fly over the world (Tengri), Fly north of Al Mamoon and land in The Genie Steps and capture TWO Dinoceros. Having two of these DeusExMachine will break the game and save you a lot of time in farming items / stealing items / farming exp / farming orbs / farming & Capturing familiars Tip 6: Do all sidequests Tip 7: Profit I consider this as beginner tips and also as a "platinum tip". I plat'ed the game so freaking fast (In my first time playing on ps3 back in 2014, I got the platinum with 99hs of gameplay. Doing the strategy above I got the platinum with 54hs). ------ Order to get merit award: Tier 1: Jack-Be-Nimble / Jackpot / Little Jack Horner / Jack in the Box / Jumping Jack / Jolly Jack Tar Tier 2: Jack-O'-Lantern / Jackpot II / Cheapjack / Crackerjack / Flapjack / Jack-at-a-Pinch Tier 3: Jack of Hearts / Jack-O'-Lantern II / Jack-of-All-Trades / the rest doesn't matter

Started playing this game now, guaranteed thumbs up for Trailer Park Boys reference!

Funnily enough I learnt menu navigation and movement by force with the first guardian . Great video !

I never did finish this game. Might pick it up on the Switch and these tips will actually help a lot! Thanks.

that bonus tip almost made me spit out my drink

Essential tip: have a diverse team comp one tanker one dps and one magic preferably all with different symbols (This makes the game incredibly easy and fun to do) It doesn't matter which familiar you'll main since the game is pretty forgiving no matter what you choose Don't overfarm, seriously it makes you over powered and all but it makes battle extremely one sided (especially with dinoceros with earsplitter) preferably farm until you're either 2-3 levels ahead of the familiars in the area BUY THE JUMPING JACK MERIT STAMP I can't stress enough how important this is for the entire playthrough since sometimes traversing the world gets boring but making oliver jump every 2 secs makes it all the time worth it Do Alchemy, Craft items like swords and shields especially early on since it's a fun way to get your familiars strong equipment for free without going to those annoying shops over and over again which leads me to my next one which is to collect items as much as you can since those are needed in either quests or alchemy Kick Drippy whenever possible and try to make a break for it Personally this is the most funniest thing you'll do when going inside a dungeon as you try to outrun drippy Lastly, enjoy the game's scenery and over all vibe. This game ain't darksouls nor is it a time based rpg You can legit take either a week or months to finish this depending on how you enjoy the game

Jeepers. Your video is flipping neato.

Kinda wish I'd gotten this earlier. That said, I knew a good majority of the game before I got the game itself. I didn't have a PS3 when I first discovered it back in 6th grade, so I figured I'd never get a chance to play it myself. And then the Switch version plopped itself into my life just as I got the Switch😂

The map in your wizards companion shows the location of hidden treasures, forest villagers, and these stones that won’t play a role until the post game

One of my favourite JRPGs

Great tips! Love the FF references. Can't believe I'm playing this for the first time.

I took the guiding star off not for the feel, but for the fact that I didn't like getting my hand held that much, like through context clues and such I could figure out where to go myswlf and it feels a lot more fun to do it myself rather than just follow a marker

Also a useful trick for making money, is playing Platoon in the Casino. Unlike all the other games it’s not completely based on luck so with a bit of practice you can end up winning big. Exchanging that for the item that gives everyone 200 HP and then selling that makes a lot of money. (And yes it may seem counterintuitive to not buy the sages secret but if I remember correctly the math checks out and you win more buy buying the 200 HP one)

i love how this game kept its price while ni no kuni 2 pc is 10£ on every keys shop. i guess it is worth employing studio Gibili for your games art direction

I love this game so damn much dude nostalgia is hitting me so damn hard

"Well, lucky for you. I already wasted that time for you." HAHAHAHAHA 🤣 Awww... and now we get this list of tips. Good job.

You can look at your map in the companion thing to see where treasures are. They will be x spots on the drawing, you just have to go to the spot on the world map. You can get a head start on some good items early on and you don't need the find treasure spell. Also, make sure you talk to people. I went most of the game in the ps3 version missing a batch of recipes because I didn't talk to the NPC that gives it to you until much later. The AI is atrocious no matter what you do so you kinda have to work around that. Getting defensive, offensive and magical familiars help in that regard.

I just finished this for the first time, and I loved it despite some minor issues, but I wish I'd grinded more as I went along instead of zooming through the game.

I can't wait to finish sekiro and get onto this game finally!! Thank you for the tips 🙏

Just bought this on sale on psn, hoping I'll enjoy it as much as the 2nd one

For those playing the PS3 version of the game, Tip #5 is especially useful as you can do a dupe glitch involving wiping out that allows you to sell your Great Sage's Secret, wipe out and get a Game Over, use the option to continue(losing 10% of your guilders) and the Great Sage's Secrets will be back in your inventory. Do this a million times to get the 500,000 guilders needed to get the trophy. It works on the hard PS3 copy due to a bug in the PS3's memory, but it's not known whether the PS3 version you stream on PS+ works that way. (You also have to do some item menu manipulation to ensure the Great Sage's Secrets are in the right spot.) The remastered version for PS4 cannot use this dupe glitch as the remaster patched out the memory problem.

Thumbs up earned from that Trailer Park Boys insert.

Just got my game on sale last week, thanks for the useful tips! :)

I’m finally getting around to playing this

I have a tip, regularly check back in on old father oak. Each time (at least in my experience) he will give something to you, good gear and such

I usually thumbs down any video that ask for thumbs up. But this video, I'll give an exception as it was informative and to the point. Thank you.

i cant believe i came across this game on accident.. this game is a gem!!

I played this originally on the ps3 and planning on getting this on the switch so this helps a lot

Great video, new to JRPGS and this helped a lot. Feel like these games are much more grindy than typical rpgs.

omg, ive never been this happy and sad for a long time since im playing this game all kind of emotion mixed in lol

Top tip: The Wizards guide is brilliant. It covers everything barring the rarest of items.

It was specifically because of “Jeepers” and Drippy’s dialect that I switched to the Japanese voice over which made the game much more enjoyable in my opinion.

I just beat this game & watching this makes me want to play it again.

Liked for the Trailer Park Boys edit ;)

This looks like a superior Pokemon game

If you read the Book, you will be able to know where the hidden treasures are, that book contain tons of stuff you can use to your advantage, like how to make Strong coffeefrom Ice coffee and springwater, which save you a lot of money early game.

Just got the game today, already made it to Golden Grove.

This is my first jrpg ever, nice video

Toko Toko Farming begins!!!

Thank you so much. Definetly going to sell those great sage potions. I rarely use elixer level potions in any game, so i rather get the cash from it. lol

Loved the trailerpark boys subbed

have had this game for months on Nintendo Switch and gonna finish from my last save point \m/ thanx 💥

I'm an hour in and its one of the greatest games I've ever played. Everyone was right I dunno why I waited...

This game looks wonderful! Next summer I'm totally going to play it!

If anyone has grabbed the game from the most recent Nintendo sale a tip I learned myself was as Mr. Drippy best puts it; Read your wizards compendium! I know you came here to play a RPG game but trust me there are a lot of things you can learn from that book that are helpful and can keep you 4 steps ahead of game mechanics and lore! There are even great stories to read if you just need a break and a good read.

OMG the Elixir in the clock reference! You sir get a like just for that!

ooohhhh tip #1 and #2 is making things very clear to me

I was not expecting the Lahey clip

The most useful tip: If you are a completionist, don’t forget to fight all the wretch, numbers 397 on... I had to restart the game after 50 hours because I didn’t fight all of them :/

I had played this a while back and was looking for videos on the Dragon Quest 3 remake and saw this. Went to the PlayStation store and guess what? It’s 80% off till the end of the money of April. The 13th-27th it’s only $9.99 (American) comes out to $10.69 after taxes and well worth it. I’m super psyched to play this remaster!

2:11 I actually rebinded my ZL and ZR buttons on my switch to left and right and didn't realize the game already did that for me until a week after I got the game

Just started playing, been blowing this game off for years.

1. Don’t sell your Sage’s Secrets. They _will_ save your life in a fight you can’t flee 2. Get the merit rewards that increase xp gain and glim drops. MP restoratives are expensive as fuck for so little MP gain, you’ll rely on glims for restoratives instead of items in the early-mid game. 3. Evolve familiars only when they’ve learned all their tricks available. Evolving them early will make you lose tricks that might’ve been useful. 4.There’re many Green Chests hidden around towns and dungeons. These can be easy to miss, sometimes downright dirty(I’m talking about you, Hamelin chest) and hold worthwhile loot 5. Complete Horace’s riddles as soon as you find him. You can first find him at the large gravestone at Ding Dong Dell, and he gives you very useful spells and items as you find him in the next towns. 6. Use treats to optimize a familiars build. I overlooked the Creature Cage in my first playthrough years ago and it was a pretty big mistake

1 time playing it on switch and I used the dam water already my mouth dropped when you said 6k.

When you get the familiar residing above the cliff its all over.

tip: on switch version scan all pokemon amiibo. you get swag points by confusing 2 different series

I've only played the second part so far, but I'll probably buy this part too

Not only jeepers, but also flipping, neato, and mun should be added to the shots. Guaranteed coma. lmao xD

I already finished the game, Yet i still clicked the video

Best tip: FRIGGIN READ THE WIZARD'S COMPANION!!! I don't own the game but downloaded a copy of the wizard's companion on my computer, and it is an amazing book! It teaches you celestial signs, useful info about familiars, and plenty more amazing things! Plus imo you should read it even just for the lore honestly, did you know that when you equip familiars what you're doing is actually feeding them your equipment? They encase the equipment in colored bubbles to make sure their innards stay nice and unpierced, and also to keep them clean when they're retrieved so that other familiars have no problem ingesting them.

This video made me subscribe to you my good sir.. just about to pick this up in the current Big in Japan psn sale 😊

One of the best Games I ever played.

Dude your vids are so solid
