Here is an overview of Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom – Prince’s Edition:

Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom – Prince’s Edition, developed by world-renowned video game studio Level-5 Inc., with participation from the legendary artist Yoshiyuki Momose and music composed by Joe Hisaishi, tells the story of Evan Pettywhisker Tildrum, the young ruler of Ding Dong Dell. Evan is dethroned by a treacherous coup and must rebuild a new kingdom free of strife while uniting the whole world of Ni no Kuni. Across Evan’s grand adventure, players can explore a beautifully crafted world filled with exotic locations, a wide cast of characters to encounter, dangerous foes, and plenty of allies eager to help. Supporting Evan on his adventure are his friends Roland, Tani, Batu, Lofty and a natural phenomena known as the Higgledies. The Higgledies will provide invaluable support during battles including offensive and defensive buffs, increasing special attack power for Evan and his friends, and assist in attacking enemies. There are 100 unique Higgledies to collect, each with its own special powers. Mix and match different combinations of Higgledies during combat to strategically secure the upper hand in battles.

In addition to the full critically acclaimed campaign from the original 2018 release (available now on PlayStation 4 and PC), Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom – Prince’s Edition contains both downloadable content packs, which includes “The Lair of the Lost Lord” and “Tale of a Timeless Tome,” a $25 value.

I own the King's Edition on PS4. Ni No Kuni II is a very solid and varied JRPG. Only the story is a bit boring and without rough edges compared to the first one or Dragon Quest XI, but you can play it without problems if you don't know the predecessor. The DLC was disappointing, but if you like Studio Ghibli anime it's a must have.

Yeah, I loved the first one but just couldn't get into the story of II. Beautiful game with great music and the battle system is kinda fun though.

I think so, but I might be in the minority on that one.

I liked the first better, but the second is quite good. Think of the first game as Pokemon and the second game as Pikmin.

I haven't played pokemon nor pikmin, lol. Speaking of pokemon, I won a large plushie/doll yesterday, forgot his name, the orange dragon looking guy, supposed to be rare.

So it's either Charizard or Dragonite.
Somehow it's weird that you don't know charizard hhh. Thought that even casual human being like my grandma knew him.
