As the title suggests, a demo of the game is available on PSN today for U.S. players and tomorrow for Europe. I unfortunately can't download it yet because I have crappy internet at my current residence, but when I move on the 28th I'll be a downloading fiend in my new place.

For those of you that don't know, this is a PS3 RPG made by the wonderful talented people at Studio Ghibli and Namco Bandai. The pictures and videos I've seen are beautiful and I can't wait to play the demo.

Likewise! If you hadn't posted, I would've ignored it. Downloaded it yesterday aft, and just fired it up. The demo gives you 30mins playtime in one of two scenarios. I've tried the Deep Wood so far.

First things first, and this doesn't surprise me at all with Ghibli involved, but the game is beautiful, and very endearing. Graphically, I love it.

Gameplay-wise, I'm still not so sure. It has potential, but I don't know how grating the battle mechanics could become if they don't have a lot of diversity beyond what is demonstrated...might be worth seeing how it reviews.

YESSSSS! I downloaded the demo a week ago and played for 10 minutes before I decided to quit the game and wait for the actual thing to come out. I already pre-ordered the game and can't wait to have it inside my PS3 while I salivate in front of the TV.

I blasted through FAR CRY 3 and got every trophy/achievement so I could trade it in before it became a month old, I got $32 for it, which of course went to the pre-order of Ni no Kuni!

Nice! I'm glad someone downloaded it an enjoyed and it's good to hear a good review. I just moved and finally have good internet. I just haven't finished unpacking and gotten a chance to to sit down and try it.

It's out in the United States right now. I've had my copy reserved for months, but I'm the middle of a few other games so I probably won't get to it for awhile yet. It looks stunning, though, and it's getting some very positive press. I'd be very glad to see this game do well in sales.

Picked up my copy as well but I have a bit of a backlog. I need to finish up Suikoden II and Wild Arms before I will be able to give it my full attention. I played the demo though and it was amazing. I'm very excited to sit down and play the full game.

24 hours into the game and I'm loving it. It's a mix of Pokemon, Blue Dragon and Kingdom Hearts!
