Quick Ni No Kuni impressions

-Beautiful game OBV
-Gets off to a HOT START which I always appreciate
-Great characters so far, even the little kid that seemed like he might be lame is likeable at the very least. Dialogue is pretty good too minus the "I WANT TO BUILD A KINGDOM WHERE EVERYONE CAN LIVE HAPPILY EVERY AFTER" line.
-Lack of voice acting can be a little jarring at times, especially since they do the annoying thing where they say one word everytime you press A to get more text. If they were just totally silent as you read the dialogue, I don't think it would be as weird.
-Battle mechanics are tremendous. Like, really good. Great mix of skills, dodging, responsive and fun swordplay, plus some ranged attacks. It's one of the most fun JRPG combat systems I've ever played.
-But, it is way too easy. I haven't even come close to worrying about dying 2 hours in. I think 20-25% of my HP is the most damage I've taken in any fight. This is actually a pretty big flaw, because as fun as combat is, it doesn't mean much if you can sleepwalk through it.

Seems like a no brainer for JRPG fans thus far, even if the difficulty thing bugs me. Excited for city building, but I am pretty sure I'm still a little ways out from that. But I like it way more than the first for sure.
