This is my most anticipated game for the rest of 2012, with only Bioshock Infinite and Lego City Stories rivaling my excitement for this. I have just one question: why does a monster have a nose ring? It looks so ugly and I hope that monster isn't a companion/summon/etc. And I really want to ride that dragon i saw in the trailer. This will probably be one of the few titles I'll preorder this year.

I know literally zero about this game, but your enthusiasm is contagious. This is officially my must have of 2012 as well. Let's do this!

Just saw the trailer and WOW that game looks beautiful. Is it going to be in English?

Yep, this is my most anticipated right now, along with Deadly Premonition director's cut, of course.

I don't know if I care about the game but its sure fun to watch in motion. I'd need to know more about the combat system.

Is this game based on some existing property or do they think that shitty title localization is charming?
 
It's certainly pretty, but appears to be otherwise unremarkable.  Maybe it will appeal to me more once it gets closer to its US release and I get a clearer understanding of what the hell is going on.

The game will be in English. Its already out in Japan. Ni No Kuni is a franchise, there was a Japan only DS game.

The Level 5 and Studio Ghibli partnership sounds potentially amazing. Hope it comes together and hope it can revitalize the JRPG genre.

I swore off JRPGs a while back, but IF I play another one, it will be this. My wife's love of Level-5's PS2 games and Studio Ghibli will probably make it a purchase at some point.

Ni no Kuni, GTA V and The Last of Us are the only games I'm really looking forward to this year.

I can't wait until tomorrow. Sometimes the anticipation is better than the realization - but I really think this'll be a special game.
