As a result, the game itself is structured like a traditional Japanese role-player. The very first thing you will notice as soon as you load up.

Studio Ghibli is not a game developer though and beyond the presentation Ni No Kuni has been created by the very capable Level-5, makers of Dark Cloud, Dragon Quest VIII and IX, and Professor Layton. Level 5’s Ni no Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom is here and we recently got the chance to analyze the PS4 and PS4 Pro versions of the game. It’s a collaboration with Studio Ghibli (My Neighbour Totoro, Spirited Away, Prince Mononoke), which gives the game its unique look.

And he hasn’t phoned it in just because it’s a game either as it really is up there with some of his best work. Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered (Ni no Kuni) is a JRPG from LEVEL-5, the company behind awesome PS2 and PS3-era JRPGs like Dark Cloud, Rogue Galaxy and White Knight Chronicles. It’s exactly what you’d want a Studio Ghibli game to look like and it even has a soundtrack composed by long-time collaborator Joe Hisaishi. The verdant fields of the game’s alternate dimension (Ni No Kuni means ‘Second Country’) are absolutely gorgeous, but all the game’s settings are – from arid desert to dank dungeon.
It’s a beautiful looking game, not just technically but artistically and aesthetically.
The result is just as spectacular as you’d hope, with the game segueing from animated sequence to in-game graphics almost flawlessly. Studio Ghibli’s animators provided not only unique new animated cut scenes for the game, but they also worked on the character designs and in-game animation. The only problem is that Studio Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki has never been keen on games and until the Ni No Kuni franchise the company had never had any major involvement in a video game. And as such they’ve had a huge influence on multiple generations of Japanese video games. In Japan, animated movies such as My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, and Spirited Away are cultural touchstones as beloved as any Disney film is in the West. The traditions of manga and anime permeate almost all Japanese games, to some degree or another, but there are many more specific influences, particularly from the work of Studio Ghibli. One of the fascinating aspects of playing Japanese video games is all the very different cultural influences that affect their creators, both consciously and subconsciously. Japanese animation giant Studio Ghibli return to video games with a stunning remaster of their charming role-playing adventure.
