The 11th<\/sup> anniversary of the game is coming up this November 17, but thanks to the incredible and stylized works of Studio Ghibli, Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered <\/em>is an ageless RPG classic.

If you\u2019ve come here today to read more, you\u2019re probably like me and you\u2019ve never played the game prior to its Game Pass debut but have heard about it over the years. Game Pass has finally given me the opportunity to discover how this game uses story and music to channel the charm, whimsy, and emotional resonance of Studio Ghibli films \u2014 all in an RPG package. (Warning: Some spoilers ahead!)<\/p>\n

Oliver, the main protagonist, is a wizard. He\u2019s got a magic wand, book, and familiars to call upon and aid him in battle. He journeys to the other world filled with magic, monsters, and things of myths. Early in the game, you\u2019ll come across the Grimalkin (cat-person) kingdom of Ding Dong Dell ruled by \u201cHis Meowjesty\u201d King Tom. In the kingdom of Ding Dong Dell, fish are heavily revered and are just about everywhere. The d\u00e9cor of fish spread to the walls, stairs, fixtures \u2026 and even spearheads.<\/p>\n

This is where Oliver comes in to seek the assistance of King Tom for help in our epic quest. Unfortunately, the king\u2019s pet has gone missing and you\u2019ll need to find this literal and figurative red herring to gain his audience. As a player that tends to speed read and mashes \u2018A\u2019 to get through dialogue, this clever use of visual narratives immersed me in a way that only the special few do.<\/p>\n

Renowned composer Joe Hisaishi\u2019s score furthers your immersion in this other world. From the sweeping strings in your world map travels to the pompously booming horns of Ding Dong Dell, the cinematic score both reflects and amplifies the magic and adventure of the story, while remaining true to the protagonist\u2019s innocent wonder.<\/p>\n
