Great game 😊

Love the graphics and gameplay, love being back in the world of Ni No Kuni 😊

its a fun lil time!

ni no kuni cross worlds has great graphics, and for a usual mmorpg, is a strong one, its the usual format with your main story, side quests, auto battle/auto track whatnot, but there's added features, and it's a big wave of nostalgia having seen parts of the series, there are some tid bits here and there where it could be vastly improved, but as it currently stands, it's a nice, pretty soothing little adventure, with a teeny bit of sad lore, but what more could you want en't?

Disappointing…

I had hoped that this wouldn’t be like Every Other MMORPG but I guess I hoped wrong. I can’t seem to turn autorun and auto battle off so that’s a bummer because I wanted to like, actually get to know this world. I wanted to play a game; I didn’t come here to just watch it play itself. There’s a typical gacha system and the cash shop shows up before I’ve really figured out how the game works (which isn’t likely btw bc it just lights up the button that it wants you to touch so I have no idea where anything is or what anything does). The two stars are because it’s really pretty and the familiar designs are genuinely really good. The plot is also very predictable… you are dropped into a fantasy game, sword art online style, and immediately become the strongest. I genuinely don’t think I can lose even if I try. I love studio ghibli and cute monsters which is why I downloaded but I can’t stand the game-plays-itself style of game. In any case, it’s probably not for me. I’ll play a little longer and see if this changes but I will probably be uninstalling.

Awesome game!

I’ve just started to play it’s already a great game, my only problem is that some cut scenes are a little buggy or some characters disappear during the scenes. I think personally the fighting needs a little work, it automatically makes the attacks for you which is a cool idea but i think it would be more fun if players had more control.
When doing a mission/quest it makes your character move to the quest location and if you try to move away from route to the location it makes your character keep going in the direction of the quest. I think is a great mechanic but I think it takes away from the exploration of the game, I think it would be better if you were able turn this off and on because it does save time if your trying to rush through the game.
Overall this really is a great game and it’s super fun. I love all the characters and adorable animals and it deserves a good reputation. btw to all the people complaining about the loading thing it’s because the game was pre downloadable and it wasn’t officially released yet but now you are able to play :)

Somewhat disappointing

I was really looking forward to the game since I heard Studio Ghibli was working on it, and was hoping for a game similar to AVABEL (no auto pathing). Unfortunately, it is exactly the same as every other MMO on the market with everything automated—it just looks cute. Some people are into those kinds of games and honestly enjoy ‘playing’ games that are chill like that! If you’re into such games, definitely give this one a try. If you were looking for an MMO that didn’t have auto pathing or auto combat, I suggest you look elsewhere.

For the devs: Please consider adding in a feature that turns off auto-ing! I (and I’m sure many other players) would love to actually *play* the game rather than watch it play itself. I would still like to run around and fulfill objectives, fight, etc. without having the system drag me to the predesignated path.

Netmarble ruins something good again

It’s a netmarble cash grab that is a disgrace to the original ip

Endless Auto-Play

I'm not particularly far into the game, but I enjoy the designs, aesthetic, and characters so far--and I would appreciate the mechanics of gameplay a lot more if I was allowed to, I don't know, interact with them maybe? The default setting for quests, traversal, and combat is "autoplay," and I wish it were possible to definitively opt-out of that, but the settings only seem to mitigate the problem. I want to actually explore and engage in combat with full control of my character, get lost on the map picking up side quests and finding chests, and admire the creatures and details throughout the environment, but the game seems dead-set on taking me from Point A to Point B with no detours no matter how often I tell it to stop doing that. It's admittedly handy to be able to go through menus and upgrade items while en route to a quest location, but I'd rather utilize that feature after I'm already thoroughly familiar with the world. Is there any way to fully disable autoplay in all its forms? Do these settings exist and I'm just not finding them or disabling all the necessary functions? If not, I hope settings to that effect will be implemented in an update soon.

This game is great - sorta :/

I absolutely adore this game. Visually it's amazing and story wise is cute so far. I'm about an hour in (I also play on the pc version too) and I really hate how this game just auto plays itself. There's no challenge at all for the players in having to move, attack, and travel to quests on your own. This game would be perfect if everything wasn't auto. I get it's an option but why is it even an option. It would make the game much more fun if the player actually has to put the effort into playing and learning how to play instead of it just playing itself. It makes me feel very disconnected from the game. I want to be the one to play not just watch it play itself. It's a huge turn off for me with this game. Please consider not making everything auto! Challenge the player a bit by making them use the abilities and fighting themselves!

Great game, but a few things really hold it back for me

I just got this game after the official launch, and the art and story so far are absolutely amazing. However, a couple things are already holding my back from really enjoying the game. The first is the auto-running. Whenever you try to navigate a quest, it will auto-run to the location. It seems small, but as someone who likes to run around on the way to my quests, it really annoys me, but even after messing around in the settings I cannot find a way to disable it. My other major complaint is the size of the skill buttons. For a tablet user, they would be perfectly fine, but playing on a phone they’re extremely small and again, there is no way (that I was able to find in the settings) to adjust the size. This makes combat really difficult because I keep hitting the wrong button. I chose a bow user, which in most games already have a hard time locking onto targets, but this issue makes it especially bad. Especially considering the target locking is somewhat faulty. However, these are all really minor issues with an otherwise well put together and entertaining game thus far, and I hope they will be resolved.

Add more servers please.

I'm trying to join a server with my friend from across the world but I am only limited to local servers so I can't play with my friend from overseas. I'm pretty sure there are thousands of others having the same problem right now. Please make it so that we can join servers globally.
