Take the Other World with You
Journey back to the other world in Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. LEVEL-5's classic tale comes to Nintendo Switch™ for the first time. Join Oliver as he embarks on an adventure through a world inhabited by new friends and ferocious foes alike in the hopes of bringing back his mother after a tragic incident. With a copy of the Wizard's Companion in his hand and his trusty friend Drippy by his side, he will travel across this rich fantasy world to tame familiars, take on enemies, and overcome the countless challenges that stand between him and his mother's salvation.
This charming tale unfolds through the use of animation storyboarded and created by the legendary Studio Ghibli and music composed by the renowned Joe Hisaishi. Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch combines beautiful animated visuals, masterful storytelling, and a sweeping score to create an epic role-playing adventure like no other.

The animated cut scenes are amazing, but were not as frequent as I was hoping.
I really wanted to love this game knowing it has glowing reviews and beautiful art, but I found it to be a slog. Ended up cheesing it with the Griffin and finding the dinosaur so I could speed through.
That being said, it's an awesome game and visually stunning. More cutscenes would be nice or maybe just more consistency, but I get that they probably could only have so much included and tried their best to blend the gameplay scenes and cut scenes when they could.
The pokemon aspect of the game is interesting...you need to commit to it, in order to make the game easier, but you don't need to go extremely deep into numerous familiars and sets. Best thing to do is identify which familiars work best with specific party members, understand the "treats" they need to keep them satisfied, and then basically focus on only those familiars.
If you plan to pick this up, and for $10 on Switch its a fantastic investment, just know that using a guide (especially for the familiar side) is warranted. I generally avoid guides, but the older I get, the more I just want to experience the game and be less worried about spoiling the "discovery" aspect of it.

It's easier for me to play things on the switch, and I kind of enjoyed it. That said, you're correct that I don't need to and shouldn't purchase this.
That's like …. Your opinion man.
