After all the comments calling both the animation and art style of the Professor Layton games "Ghibliesque", Level-5 decided to one-up the peanut gallery by actually teaming up with Studio Ghibli on a game. The result was Ni no Kuni (literally - "Another World"), though it's actually two games: Dominion of the Dark Djinn - Released for Nintendo DS in December 2010, this is a turn-based RPG where you draw magic spells on the touchscreen. Each copy includes a complete Wizard's Companion book. Wrath of the White Witch - Released for PlayStation 3 in Japan in 2011 and worldwide in 2013, this was developed separately, but is essentially the same story as the original up to the mid point. Combat is real-time and menu-based. A HD remastered version for the PlayStation 4, PC, and Nintendo Switch were released on September 20th, 2019, and on the XBox One and XBox One Series-S/X on September 15th, 2022. There is also Hotroit Stories, a prequel for cell phones released through Level-5's ROID service. Sadly, Wikipedia reported that the concept was quickly abandoned for reasons unknown, with no further episodes added after the initial one on release. note Perhaps it was bad timing, coming out too soon after the Japanese fans felt like they got burnt upon the release of White Witch There is also Ni no Kuni: Daibouken Monsters, a card collecting mobile game, which was released through the Japan-only GREE phone service in 2012. Again, it did not do well and was quickly abandoned.While the gameplay is designed by Level-5, all the character designs, lushly animated cutscenes, and even the soundtrack (composed by the legendary Joe Hisaishi) are all pure Ghibli. Needless to say, this made a lot of people very excited about it from the get-go.Oliver is a young boy living a tiny, picturesque town loosely based on America in The '50s. He lives with his mother Allie. He and his best friend have been working on making the best racing kart ever—it's already looking pretty snazzy. To try it out, Oliver sneaks out in the middle of the night for a test drive—unfortunately, he plunges straight into the river. His mother leaps in to save him and pulls him to the shore. The physical exertion is sadly too much for her, and she swiftly dies of a heart attack. Yes, it's that kind of game.For weeks, the grief-stricken Oliver holes up in his room and cries. His tears fall on a crude yet lovable doll his mother gave him, and set the spirit inside free! The spirit, named Drippy (Shizuku in the Japanese version), reveals to Oliver that he's from another world — a place closely linked to Oliver's town. There, an evil sorcerer has taken a sage named Alicia hostage. Alicia and Allie are linked, and if Alicia is saved, then there's a chance Allie will be, too. Drippy gives Oliver a magic book, the Wizard's Companion, and Oliver sets out into the other world in order to save his mother.The most notable feature of Dominion of the Dark Djinn was that the Wizard's Companion was an actual hardbound 392-page book that shipped with the game and was required to progress through the game. The localization and printing cost of the book is widely blamed for the lack of an international release of that version of the game. When White Witch was created, the book was included in digital format. However, a limited "Wizard's Edition" release of the title did include the book as part of a luxury collection, as well as a stuffed doll of Drippy.The English dub was done by Side UK (Professor Layton) featuring the vocal talents of 10-year-old Adam Wilson as Oliver and Steffan Rhodri (from Gavin & Stacey) as Drippy.A sequel to the game, Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom, was released on March 23, 2018. English trailer is here.An animated film adaptation of Ni no Kuni produced by OLM and Warner Bros. has been announced and was released in Japan on August 23, 2019. It is an original story, heavily inspired on the premise of the original, instead of a direct or close adaptation. Unfortunately, it was a Box Office Bomb, and WB opted to not release the film internationally, instead Netflix picked the film up as an 'Original' and streamed it worldwide on January 16, 2020.A Manga, Ni no Kuni: Hikari no KÅ�keisha to Neko no ÅŒji (The Successor of Light and the Cat Prince) ran in 2019 issues of Kodansha's Bessatsu ShÅ�nen Magazine.It was followed in 2020 by a MMO for mobile devices, Ni No Kuni: Cross Worlds, where you play as a beta tester for an upcoming VR game called "Soul Divers" who discover that they are actually being sent to the alternate world of Ni no Kuni. The game launched in mid-2021 for Far-East Asia, with a worldwide launch not announced until April 2022 with pre-registration opening, and with the worldwide launch date was set for mid-2022. | |

| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_1439161f | comment |
Heroic BSoD: Oliver gets one when he learns out that Alicia and Allie, his deceased mother, were in fact the same person. He continues nonetheless his quest to Save the World from Shadar (and the White Witch in the PS3 version). His best friend Phil also suffers one after his experimental car caused Oliver's mother's death. You don't actually find out until quite late in the game, surprisingly. | |

Inexplicably Identical Individuals: The Purrprietors, Hootenannies, and Cawtermasters of the inns, item shops, and weaponshops as well as the shopkeepers at Swift Solutions look and act exactly the same no matter where you go. The exception is the Fairyground, where the shops are run by fairies dressed up to look like them. They even try to make the same cat and bird-related puns. | |

| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_16972b3c | comment |
Peninsula of Power Leveling: Two of them become available after each mode of transportation is acquired for the first time: Ugly Duckling Island, accessible by boat, and Billy Goat's Bluff South, accessible by air. Both house the game's Metal Slimes, and taking the time to grind in these locations makes much of the rest of the game into a cakewalk. | |

Title Drop | |
| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_18d15922 | comment |
Title Drop: Early in the game, Drippy explains to Oliver that there's "another world"note Ni No Kuni literally means "Another World", where he hails from. It becomes somewhat Lost in Translation, as half of the game's title was left untranslated and the world is always called "the other world" in the English text and dub. Only players listening to the Japanese track will actually hear the words "Ni no Kuni", though the subtitles always translate it. | |

Seasonal Baggage: Not quite in the traditional sense since seasons are never seen changing but most of the major islands/countries has a distinct season motif: The areas in Summerlands tend to be bright and hot and one region is home to a town whose inhabitants only wear swimsuits, Autumnia is darker with many areas sporting a death theme, Winter Wonderland is constantly cold and has many snow covered islands, and the fun and lighthearted Teheeti may represent spring with the Fairy God Mother's birth based mission and the fairy ground's Japanese festival theme. | |

Dark World | |
| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_294df577 | comment |
A literal Dark World appears shortly after the White Witch-exclusive arc begins due to a dark crystal in all three major cities, and everyone there (aside from children, oddly missing) is turned into zombies you fight. Actually only male children seem to be missing. While the compendium lists them as "women" some of the fish zombies are infact little girls. One is even listed as "sickly child" | |

Accent Adaptation | |
| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_29718d62 | comment |
Accent Adaptation: Characters from Oliver's world (loosely based on America in The '50s) speak with applicable American Accents, but most characters from Drippy's world (including Drippy himself, who is voiced with a boisterous Welsh accent) speak with British Accents, undoubtedly to enhance the fairy-tale, medieval setting. The exception is Allie, Oliver's mum, who also has an English accent in Oliver's world. This foreshadows her real origins. | |

You Can See Me?: Drippy is invisible to the non-magical people in Motorville. Animals can see him, however. One side quest has a girl from the Other World seeing her Other Self in a vision and wanting flowers. Said other self is JUST magical enough to sense Drippy's presence; Drippy naturally does this and then starts shouting at her to get her to react; Oliver scoots away. | |

Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: If the White Witch didn't try to assassinate Oliver (because he's the Chosen One), his mom would not have to save him from a car accident and then die from a heart attack. Thus, Oliver would not have awakened Drippy. Drippy would not have told him about the Sage who's his mom's soulmate. And, therefore, Oliver would not have gone to the other world. | |

Your Princess Is in Another Castle!: Not necessarily for the player, thanks to in-game cutscenes explaining things throughout the game, but the heroes of the story believe that they have saved the world with Shadar's defeat only for the White Witch, the game's real Big Bad, to make herself known. Then it is played fully straight after the White Witch's Heel–Face Turn, when the Zodiarchy reveals itself to have developed its own independent and malevolent will. | |

Bonus Dungeon | |
| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_34ffa400 | comment |
Bonus Dungeon: Moya Island in Dark Djinn had a 100-floor tower accessed with Item Crafting of all things, with all-new more powerful enemies and Palette Swap of bosses that will mop the floor with your Lv.99 party if you aren't careful enough. Shazar (Gallus in the English version) is awaiting you at the last floor, and he is on-par with Bonus Boss from the Persona series, a welcome change from the easy main quest. There is another pirate Bonus Dungeon hidden in a star-shaped island. It was replaced in White Witch with a portal to the Final Dungeon, but its monsters were reused at various points, like many other Bonus Boss from Dark Djinn. Gallus himself was reused as The Dragon for the White Witch, but was considerably Nerfed (he no longer has two phases): another Bonus Boss (who can be faced after clearing all other boss rematches) replaced him as the ultimate challenge. | |

White Mage | |
| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_358388f6 | comment |
AI-controlled party members tend to send out whoever has the highest level into battle. That's swell unless said party member is a fragile White Mage who only knows one healing spell and one buff, can only do one point of damage with her harp, has no MP, and so only uses her harp. Or any other Squishy Wizard or Glass Cannon reliant on MP. | |

Granted, Oliver is the only one capable of doing anything to stop the eruption. Shadar had started the mess in the first place, expecting Oliver to show up. If Oliver had tried to evacuate an entire city on his own, well, that probably would have ended badly anyway. | |

Copy Protection: A rather old-school variation, via the included feely with Dark Djinn. To do certain things in the game, you need to refer to the book included with the game and see the corresponding page for the current situation. Without it, you can't proceed normally, and if you try to use Oliver's book, it says that you need to see the physical book instead. | |

Scenery Porn: This is the trailer for White Witch. Note especially at around 0:45. There are two frames: the upper one shows the pre-rendered form, and the lower one shows the real time form. They are practically the same. In other words, you will be walking through a Ghibli movie. Not that Dark Djinn is any slouch—the DS does cell-shading well, and it features the same sort of hand-painted look for its maps. | |

Useless Useful Spell: In the DS version's main game, status effects (like poisoning and confusion) tend to be rather useless by virtue of enemies not being as strong as you are (thus not cost-effective) and most bosses being immune. However, there's also Familiar-based PVP as well as a few more challenging sidequests where they come in handy. | |

A Child Shall Lead Them | |
| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_4e6e9b64 | comment |
A Child Shall Lead Them: Massively deconstructed. Cassiopeia ended up having to take her father's role as leader after his death at an age that could be considered anywhere between 5 to 10. Since she was way too young to know anything about running the kingdom effectively, that ended up making her the perfect puppet for her counsel to do whatever they pleased with the kingdom. The resulting manipulation, especially after she found out what they were doing, ended up seriously messing her up mentally; and is a big reason she ended up becoming the White Witch in the first place. | |

In the Dark Djinn, there is also a Dream Land you get to as Oliver alone, when you check in the inns. You can solve some riddles there using the book. There is also a Bonus Boss there, on-par with late Moya Tower bosses. | |

Dual Wielding | |

Dual Wielding: Not done in game, but Horace mentions that the Wizard King of legend dual wielded magic wands. The Wizard King's ghost confirms this when he appears in the Ivory Tower: he wielded both Astra and Mornstar who are 'twins'. | |

| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_519c6fd3 | comment |
The Heartless: Downplayed, thanks to the wild familiars not being as malevolent as the trope implies; however the Nightmares that possess certain broken-hearted (some even in Oliver's World!) play it straight. | |

Hong Kong Dub | |
| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_51a12a6f | comment |
Hong Kong Dub: The English dub. Not as extreme as some examples, but definitely noticeable in some spots, such as in some of the animated cutscenes. However, the dub seems to be much better for it, as certain characters (like Drippy) benefit from not forcing themselves to precisely match their character's lip sync for their dialogue. | |

Gotta Catch Them All: The familiars. Thankfully in the optional variety of this trope, due to the low catch rate of some familiars. (Though if you're going for all the Trophies, you'll eventually need 250. Fortunately, this can be achieved not just from catching, but also from evolving lower-level forms.) | |

Bragging Rights Reward | |

Bragging Rights Reward: The One-Hit Kill ultimate light spell in Dark Djinn: You get it when you defeat Shazar (Gallus in English), but there is nothing else left to do in the game. After doing the post-game Conductor sidequest in White Witch, you gain access to the Philmobile. It's... really not all that great, especially when you have a Dragon to fly around in. The strongest Mon in the game, Mandragorer, rewarded for beating the Rank S tournament in the Solosseum. Since the S rank is only unlocked in Endgame+, there's not a lot you can do with it, besides using it against the Bonus Bosses in the Conductor sidequest mentioned above. | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation | |
| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_6320eced | comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation: Oliver's locket only detects an overabundance of heart when the writers want it to. In the beginning of the game, Drippy states that you need a large amount of space to cast Gateway. Makes sense. Except for the rest of the game, you can cast it anywhere you want, even in tight corridors. Though he insists that it's to make the Gateway look majestic - essentially, style over substance, as when Oliver casts Gateway in a cutscene, the cast is limited to a small area in front of him instead of the huge doorway. Ashes of Resurrection turns those that are afflicted by it into monsters. However, during the final battle, Cassiopeia is able too use it on your party members with the only drawback being its long activation period. | |

Cynicism Catalyst: Lucien's little sister's dead (Natius in the Japanese version). He eventually abandons all hope in humanity and, under the influence of the White Witch, becomes Shadar. Cassiopeia originally wanted to use the Ashes of Resurrection spell to help the people of Nascaä after discovering the Council of Twelve were running it into the ground, only to realize too late that it came at a terrible price. Believing that the world was wicked to the core and that there was nothing she could do about it was what led her to become the White Witch. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: "Shizuku" is Japanese for "drop", as in the teardrop that brought him to life. Not to mention his general shape is reminiscent of a teardrop. And also his backstory in the Wizard's Companion. This was maintained with his English name, "Drippy". "Oliver" is also the name of a certain other famous orphan. In the English version of the game, Esther is the soul mate of Myrtle in the other world. "Esther" is derived from the heroine of Old Testament lore, an orphan Jewish girl who became queen of Persia and saved her people. Esther was born "Hassadah", which means myrtle in Hebrew. Note that their Japanese names, Maru and Shelley, have no apparent connection, outside of a possible, reaching, reference to Mary Shelley, the author of Frankenstein. The mechanic in Motorville is named "Rusty Cartwright." The fireworks experts who show up in a cutscene in Ding Dong Dell (and as opponents in the Soliseum) are named Roman and Catherine. Tying in with Stellar Name below, the Order of Illusion is made up of three knights named Caph, Segin, and Achird. Fitting, as they are the honor guard of Queen Cassiopeia. | |

Betting Mini-Game | |
| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_7a007c83 | comment |
In the controversial Betting Mini-Game, the "Platoon" card game's AI has a very rigid structure on how it sets up the cards. It is relatively easy to learn the patterns and max out every game; thus, allowing to get all the casino items; including unique high-level familiars, high-level alchemy ingredients, hp/mp restores, and equipment. Which can be sold outside the casino for a lot of money. | |

Eagle Land: Oliver's hometown seems to be 1950s-era America; judging by the highway signs, style of cars, and them eating breakfasts like bacon and eggs with silverware. According to Word of God; Motorville (aka "Hotroit") is based on early Detroit. (This is even seen in the dub, as "Motor City" is Detroit's old nickname.) | |

Crutch Character: Oliver's starting familiar, the Mite, is agreed upon to be this. It's a great DPS dealer and tank for the early and mid-game but by the late to post game, the Mite's stats start to fall behind the other familiars the player can get for Oliver, usually meaning the player would only consider using the Mite when their other familiars are running low on stamina. | |

Pun | |

Pun: Almost too many to mention, but one of the cleverest examples occurs in the Vault of Tears — when the party are turned into frogs, Drippy croaks "rarebit, rarebit!" (as opposed to "ribbit") in reference to his Welsh characterization and the national dish. And Swaine, the party thief, croaks "Robbit, robbit!" One that's very easy to miss. When in Motorville, trying to get into the house of Mary, Alicia's soulmate, Oliver and Drippy find themselves repelled by a malignant force. As they start to go elsewhere to try to investigate, Pea, the little girl who keeps mysteriously showing up (and whom Drippy can't see), appears and heads to Mary's house. Oliver reports this to Drippy. If you talk with him again, he might randomly say... | |

Fairy Tale | |
| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_838343d6 | comment |
Several overworld locations in Ni No Kuni are named or associated with characters from various Fairy Tales and famous classic novels. Jack Frost's Playground The Spindle, a Rumpelstiltskin Reference Robinson Island and Crusoe Island Ugly Duckling Island and Swan Island Scrooge Island and its smaller neighbor Tiny Tim Island. Billy Goat's Bluff, a region surrounding Perdida. Hamelin, as in The Pied Piper of Hamelin, though it is an In Name Only reference, unless you count its involvement in the creation of the magic flute Clarion. Ding Dong Dell, NPC Tommy Stout, and the plot scenario that surrounds him is based on a British Nursery Rhyme (Alternately called Ding Dong Bell), with the lines, "Ding, dong, bell, Pussy’s in the well. Who put her in? Little Johnny Flynn. Who pulled her out? Little Tommy Stout. What a naughty boy was that, To try to drown poor pussy cat, Who ne’er did him any harm, But killed all the mice in the farmer's barn." The mouse boss you fight inside Ding Dong Well is named Hickory Dock, after the the nursery rhyme. | |

Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors | |

Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors: In the Platoon minigame, the cards in a standard deck are divided into four categories: Kings, Bishops (Aces), Wizards (Jokers) and Regular cards (everything else) which the player and AI organize into five units. Units with Kings beat any unit with only Regular cards, Bishops beat Kings and units with only Regular cards beat Bishops. Wizards are outside the rock-paper-scissors relationships and instead forces the player and AI to switch units, essentially reversing the usual outcomes. | |

Alternate Universe | |
| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_8430699a | comment |
Alternate Universe: The other world, to a degree; but what really fits this trope is the alternate Motorville that The Conductor takes Oliver to after you beat the Bonus Boss; a Motorville with talking animals and other major differences that Alicia did not go to; therefore, Oliver's soul was never reborn and became a spirit being instead, ie the Conductor. The story in Dark Djinn and the one in the White Witch play in different parallel universes. Basic elements are the same, but they diverge in story elements pretty early on. | |

| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_8b268e47 | comment |
One Game for the Price of Two: The developers originally intended the DS and PS3 versions to be different enough that playing both would be necessary to get the "whole" story. However, this ends up being averted, as the PS3 game is more of an Updated Re-release than one of two similar-but-different gamesnote That said, both games' stories are self-contained, and White Witch includes dialogue that basically confirms that each version is a parallel world of one another.. There's also a cell phone prequel. | |

Giant Space Flea from Nowhere | |

Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: Zig-zagged. The Zoadiarch council were established as the council of villains at the start of the game. However, nearing the end of the game, it was revealed that they were actually hard-light illusions by the White Witch and have not existed for thousands of yearsnote except that one of them is actually her father as a ghost. Then after you battle the White Witch herself and she has a Heel–Face Turn, they suddenly manifest with the excuse that they were around for so long that the magic has made them real and refuse to cease existence... And you have to fight them anyway. | |

Our Fairies Are Different | |
| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_90d5b651 | comment |
Our Fairies Are Different: Drippy and his mother look more like Humpty Dumpty than a traditional fairy. However, the Seed Sprite (among other familiars) encountered in the Golden Grove generally averts this. | |

Catch a Falling Star | |
| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_91e1116e | comment |
Catch a Falling Star: In Dark Djinn, Kublai accidentally knocks Tengri unconscious with his Cloud Sweeper's weapon. Since he is in the sky to battle with Oliver whom Tengri was chasing, the dragon falls from several hundred meters down onto the ground. Oliver can't stop his drop, as Tengri is too heavy for his own Cloud Sweeper. But by using the in-built grappling hook, he changes their trajectory, so they land in the sea instead. | |

Artificial Stupidity | |
| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_940a5958 | comment |
Artificial Stupidity: AI-controlled party members tend to send out whoever has the highest level into battle. That's swell unless said party member is a fragile White Mage who only knows one healing spell and one buff, can only do one point of damage with her harp, has no MP, and so only uses her harp. Or any other Squishy Wizard or Glass Cannon reliant on MP. Casting buffs immobilises both the caster and target, leaving them both sitting ducks. AI-controlled party members never seem to take into account whether it's safe to be out in the open or not. AI controlled party members have no concept of survival and will ignore things like getting out of the AOE of an attack or defending against an enemy's special attack (which heavily reduces damage). And they'll happily chew through their MP on healing whenever they take damage. Wandering enemy NPCs have no routing, so they tend to walk into walls and attempt to chase you over rivers of lava. Your companions also tend to get stuck in ledges and walls. In the controversial Betting Mini-Game, the "Platoon" card game's AI has a very rigid structure on how it sets up the cards. It is relatively easy to learn the patterns and max out every game; thus, allowing to get all the casino items; including unique high-level familiars, high-level alchemy ingredients, hp/mp restores, and equipment. Which can be sold outside the casino for a lot of money. While you're serenading an enemy that has stood up so it can be tamed, your companions are still perfectly capable of casting field-wide magic, even though doing so will defeat the enemy and you'll lose the chance to tame it. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Drippy and other NPCs note that he was with Alicia the whole time. He really meant that literally. In an early game event, Drippy notes how Fairies are good liars. This should clue the player in that he's not being entirely honest about Alicia's fate. Why can Oliver cast magic when nobody else from Earth can? .....why is there a book of spells hidden in his fireplace? If you pay attention to Phil during the first few scenes before Oliver travels to another world, it becomes real easy to tell that indirectly causing Allie's death weighed down heavily on him. It also shows that he's less of a jerkass than one would first believe, given his attitude prior to her death. Look at Mornstar. Now look at Gallus's staff. The Wizard King's wand, eh? "Swaine" sounds like it has one letter more than "swine", doesn't it? Considering he's one of the princes of Hamelin, which has a pig Animal Motif, that might not be an accident. | |

Ambition Is Evil | |
| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_9e1e14ea | comment |
Ambition Is Evil: Inverted. Ambition is one of the eight Pieces of Heart, and a lack of it makes people evil. However, it is also explained in the Wizard Companion that an excess of certain emotions can turn people evil as well, or at least can be self-destructive. This can actually be seen in the game proper: a man in Hamelin's excess restraint is causing him to ignore his hunger and continue researching obsessively, a guard in Al Mamoon's excess courage nearly sends him back to fight a monster that nearly killed him earlier, and a peddler's excess confidence is causing him to take dangerous business risks. | |

Orcus on His Throne | |
| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_add14bc2 | comment |
Orcus on His Throne: Shadar averts this early in the game, by coming after the party personally and causing them to get into a shipwreck. He then plays it straight by sitting in Nevermore for most of the rest of the game. The White Witch plays it mostly straight by sitting in the Ivory Tower for the entire game, though in the prologue she sabotages the Philmobile to make Oliver fall into a river and assists Shadar in his task to defeat Oliver by giving him the ability to control storms. | |

Forced Transformation: The party has to navigate the Vault of Tears as frogs. This also happens to all of the townspeople (and two kingdom leaders... and a tank) in the three main kingdoms during the beginning of the White Witch portion of the game. The townspeople become various zombie-esque animal hybrids (like a horse-man and fish-woman), while the kingdom leaders turn into more monstrous versions of their original species. | |

Non-Standard Character Design | |
| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_c55c31e2 | comment |
Non-Standard Character Design: To a small extent with the mechanics of the Mandragorer familiar, the only Nobilia type the party can obtain. Unlike the other familiars, it progresses through three metamorphs rather than two, with no choice for a final form coming up after the first. It also appears to lose detail as it morphs, essentially going backwards from a somewhat mean-looking base form (the Wizard's Companion picture of this form makes it look rather ominous) to its baby-looking final form. Finally, it lacks any sort of secondary command (Defend!, Psyche Up!, and Evade!), so it has Flame Fan (a standard, small AOE fire spell) in that place that cannot be switched out. To alleviate this, the species has very high defensive stats and is of the Planet sign, meaning only Double Planet enemies (which are rare to encounter) have a type advantage over it. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Unsurprisingly, there is a lot of shout outs to various Studio Ghibli films... The plot itself bears a few similarities to Spirited Away. One of the bosses is a pig-tank called Porco Grosso. In White Witch only, the cutscenes where everyone attack the Final Dungeon are oddly reminiscent of Laputa. Also, some NPCs refer to it as "A Castle In The Sky." A popular charm among the Cloud Reaper riders looks like the robot from Castle in the Sky. There is an NPC called My Neighbor Tomtoro. Also see Metal Slime. The Dark Djinn's One-Winged Angel form's face (and especially mouth) looks like the degraded God Soldier from Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. Also, the lost kingdom of Nazcaa's pronunciation sounds similar to Nausicaa. Ding Dong Dell isn't Ghibli's first cat based kingdom. The ending has Oliver flying on a broom over his hometown of Motorville, similar to Kiki's Delivery Service. In addition, when you get the errand to deliver curry from Al Mamoon, Drippy refers to Oliver's Delivery Service being in business. Whenever a piece of heart enters or leaves a person, the resulting light bursts look very similar to the falling stars in Howl's Moving Castle. One of the NPCs you obtain ambition from is a boy who dreams of becoming king of the pirates and going on a voyage with friends in search of treasure. The events in the Vault of Tears involve a subplot with characters named Prince Ali and Princess Yasmina. The "Broom Broom" spell sounds like what Mickey used in The Sorcerer's Apprentice. Old Father Oak gives Oliver his first familiar and spells to assist him on his journey. Regarding his name, does that sound familiar? "People of the world—come, spice up your lives!" - Sheik of Spice, Al Mamoon. One of the opponents in the Tournament Arc is a guy called Poncho Sanza, likely a reference to the sidekick of Don Quixote, Sancho Panza. Familiars can learn a poison spell called Dark Cloud. Also, there's an attack called the Incredible Ulk. Similarly, one default name for a Spike Tike is "Tyke Myson". In fact, there a few familiars whose default nicknames result in Shout Outs, such as the Naja having "Minaj" for a suggested name. Several overworld locations in Ni No Kuni are named or associated with characters from various Fairy Tales and famous classic novels. Jack Frost's Playground The Spindle, a Rumpelstiltskin Reference Robinson Island and Crusoe Island Ugly Duckling Island and Swan Island Scrooge Island and its smaller neighbor Tiny Tim Island. Billy Goat's Bluff, a region surrounding Perdida. Hamelin, as in The Pied Piper of Hamelin, though it is an In Name Only reference, unless you count its involvement in the creation of the magic flute Clarion. Ding Dong Dell, NPC Tommy Stout, and the plot scenario that surrounds him is based on a British Nursery Rhyme (Alternately called Ding Dong Bell), with the lines, "Ding, dong, bell, Pussy’s in the well. Who put her in? Little Johnny Flynn. Who pulled her out? Little Tommy Stout. What a naughty boy was that, To try to drown poor pussy cat, Who ne’er did him any harm, But killed all the mice in the farmer's barn." The mouse boss you fight inside Ding Dong Well is named Hickory Dock, after the the nursery rhyme. Additionally, continuing with the literary theme, one of the possible default names for a tamed Rabbot familiar is "Peter", with another one being "Roger". Other familiar default names also count. For example, Fuddy-Daddy can be called Elmer. When King Tom XIV goes missing, Oliver seeks out his Motorville soul-mate, a cat named Timmy. Finding Timmy leads to the conclusion that Timmy('s alternate universe counterpart) is in the well. The names of King Tom and Timmy are a reference to the British folktale of the King of the Cats, where a traveler passing by a graveyard sees cats holding a funerary procession while carrying a little crown and one of them tells the traveler to "Tell Tom Tildrum that Tim Toldrum is dead". When he tells the story back home, his cat stands up, declares "Then that means I'm the new king of the cats!" and runs away from home. This gets another shout out during the fight with King Tom turned into a monster. The boss subtitle reads "King Tom Tildrum is Undead". The localization of Wrath of the White Witch has the one who gives Oliver his first real magic wand refer to the dark sorcerer as "You-Know-Who". One of the possessed King Tom's attacks is called "Itchy Scratchy." The late game armor Armor of Justice is said to have belonged to a knight who fought for his friends. Several Non Player Characters in the Fairyground reference British pop culture, including popular sitcom "Only Fools and Horses" and the entertainer Bruce Forsyth. | |

Dub Name Change | |
| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_e2c4b927 | comment |
Dub Name Change: Everywhere in the English version. For characters, Drippy for Shizuku, Esther for Maru, and Motorville for Hotroit. Among other monster and town names. In short, anyone or thing that isn't named Oliver or Allie/Alicia gets subjected to this. To give an idea of how jarring this can be: Sherry's name was changed to...Myrtle. This despite Sherry being a perfectly good name on its own. This name change adds a Bilingual Bonus, though. Myrtle is Esther's alternate self, and the biblical queen Esther's alternate name was Hadassah, which is Hebrew for... myrtle. | |

Hate Sink: This is essentially a story where there are no true villains as both Shadar and the White Witch are revealed to be broken-hearted in their own ways, having been pushed beyond the Despair Event Horizon from the trauma they suffered. However, there are two big exceptions who are both detestable and simply evil just because - the appropriately named Vileheart and the Council of Twelve, reborn in Cassiopeia's imagination as the Zodiarchy. | |

While he was in a comatose state, Vileheart reappeared and Swaine and Esther tried to fend him off but end up almost dying in the process. Then Oliver comes out of nowhere, and curbstomps Vileheart with the Mornstar spell that Pea gave him. | |

If you pay attention to Phil during the first few scenes before Oliver travels to another world, it becomes real easy to tell that indirectly causing Allie's death weighed down heavily on him. It also shows that he's less of a jerkass than one would first believe, given his attitude prior to her death. | |

Fighter, Mage, Thief: An interesting variation: While Oliver is a mage his first familiars are fighters (as well as having the warrior familiar affinity), then he gets Ester who is also a mage but has more focus on healing, and then Swaine joins the group as the only possible thief in the game. Marcassin just ends up being another mage but comes with a weapon better suited to attacking than magic. | |

Emergency Weapon: Or character. If your familiars stamina runs out and you don't have another familiar to use, you can have the familiar summoner take part in the battle themselves. However, the characters usually have vastly weaker stats than their familiars. The only exception is Oliver, who slowly gets more and more powerful spells to offset his slow stat growth. | |

Check-Point Starvation | |

Checkpoint Starvation: usually averted but played straight between the very difficult battles between the White Witch and the Zodiarch. You don't get the chance to save between those battles. If you fail even the last one, you need to plow through all three battles again. It gets extremely frustrating after you fail at the Zodiarch battles several tries straight. | |

Barrier Change Boss | |
| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_f85b870f | comment |
Barrier Change Boss: Gallus switches up what elements he uses and what he is weak to. You can tell by the aura that surrounds him. | |

Shoo Out the Clowns | |
| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_f97b5d33 | comment |
Shoo Out the Clowns: The White Witch's cutscenes, while understandably serious, have Apus, and he can be kind of funny at times. Shadar, on the other hand, kills humor dead. | |

Hopeless Boss Fight | |
| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_fc07d409 | comment |
Hopeless Boss Fight: In Dark Djinn: the lava female monster, if you go directly to the Volcano Summit before going first to the Cave of Trials. The first fight with Shadar after getting the boat in Wrath of the White Witch. Oddly enough, losing this fight still results in a game over. | |

One-Winged Angel | |
| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_fc33ff16 | comment |
The Dark Djinn's One-Winged Angel form's face (and especially mouth) looks like the degraded God Soldier from Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. Also, the lost kingdom of Nazcaa's pronunciation sounds similar to Nausicaa. | |

You Shouldn't Know This Already | |
| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_fc85fadc | comment |
You Shouldn't Know This Already: Oliver explicitly requires both the correct stroke pattern and knowledge of the spell in order to cast. In Dominion of the Dark Djinn, this meant that even if you had the physical copy of the Wizard's Companion with you, you couldn't cast anything Oliver didn't have in his own copy. | |

Item Crafting | |
| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_ff34c05a | comment |
Item Crafting: You can do it anytime after battling the genie. Needed to get better items for a reasonable price. Later, you'll have to do this to create dungeon floors, in the original, anyway. In White Witch you barely have to touch it if you don't want to, though you'll have to if you want to obtain certain Trophies. | |

Shown Their Work | |
| Ni no Kuni (Video Game) / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Almost too many to mention, but one of the cleverest examples occurs in the Vault of Tears — when the party are turned into frogs, Drippy croaks "rarebit, rarebit!" (as opposed to "ribbit") in reference to his Welsh characterization and the national dish. And Swaine, the party thief, croaks "Robbit, robbit!" | |
