Why does Breath of the Wild feel more Ghibli than Ni no Kuni?
The only connection Ni no Kuni has to Ghibli is a couple secondary artists did Ghibli looking designs. Aside from that, its a generic Level 5 game.
Zelda has been striving to imitate Miyazaki from the start. And stuff like Wind Waker and Skyward Sword straight up copy Ghibli films. Skyward Sword might as well be 'Laputa: Zelda Edition'. Especially that whole part about breaking through the vortex of clouds to get to the hidden floating temple.

Because you are an uninformed retard?

>The only connection Ni no Kuni has to Ghibli is that Ghibli worked on the game.
Yeah...
>Dangerous machines in a tranquil environment of nature
>Wolf companion
>Music
>>344913441
>Ghibli worked on the game
>because a few second string animators worked on it
By that logic, you can call it a Production IG game. Since they are independant artists who work for multiple studios. The 'core' Ghibli people had no involvement with Ni no Kuni. That is to say Isao and Miyazaki never touched it.
its a game imitating Ghibli. And not doing a very good job of it based on the story.
>>344912853
That's when Zelda is so bad these days, instead of being its own things, Aonuma is obsessed with turning it into a bootleg of anime he likes to watch.

>music
I wish Joe Hisashi was doing the music. I'd buy the game just for that.

>Twilight Princess was Princess Mononoke. Except instead of Mononoke and her wolf, it's Midna and her wolf.
>Skyward Sword was Castle in the Sky
>Breath of the Wild is Nausica of the Wind.

Are you stupid? If you're going to act like a rhetorical retard, might as well not even respond.
>>344911501
Because you are an idiot? When you grow up you will learn, don't worry.
>>344911501
because they're both on their last legs and past their prime.
>>344914227
>MIND = BLOWN OUT
Small minds blow easily when making shit up it seems...
>Are you stupid? If you're going to act like a rhetorical retard, might as well not even respond.
Sorry that im not so stupid as you.
>>344912853
I wish Miyazaki Zelda would return. Hell, just make the whole game look like the awesome 80s fantasy the first game had.
>>344912853
>comparing that shit heap SS to laputa
you've gone too far this time, anon.
>>344914591
>awesome
>looks like fucking beetle bailey
>>344911501
The first time they got Aonuma on treehouse live at E3, he explained that they modelled the art style after "Japanese animation and gouache watercolour painting". In other words, they went for the ghibli look quite deliberately.
>>344914682
He didn't compare them. He pointed out that Zelda straight up copied Laputa. Which is true.
>>344914126
>That's why Zelda is so bad
Well to each his own, I love Miyazaki with all my heart, and Nintendo hybridisation has made me happier.
You don't even know what you want in a Nintendo game so who would listen to you
>>344915123
that's not exactly the most original of concepts. it's been done before in countless things.
>>344914812
>beetle bailey
>>344915257
Then you don't really have cause to complain either.
>>344911501
There will never be another game as beautiful as GCN Wind Waker.
>>344914591
That looks nothing like Miyazaki.
>>344915624
But cel shading only started looking good now with games like Guilty Gear Xrd, and the character design of the game is hideous. Wind Waker is many things, but "beautiful" is not one.
>>344915814
Zelda looks like pretty much every Miyazaki female from 1970-1980.
>>344915909
shit taste, kys asap
>>344915624
I'd say Dragon Quest VIII already looked better than it in 2005.
>>344915490
I'm fine with them taking inspiration from Miyazaki. But that logo is being a little too blatant about it. As if they're trying to trick people into thinking its produced by Ghibli.
It's the pan and scan effect.
>>344915909
Are you stupid? "Beautiful" is the only thing WW has going for it.
>>344913197
this
>>344916179
Actually, it's the first Zelda game since Link's Awakening in Japan to use the Japanese Zelda logo. Every game since OoT on used the English "THE LEGEND OF ZELDA".
It's more to be blatant about the "THIS IS A RETURN TO WHAT ZELDA WAS BEFORE OCARINA OF TIME".
>>344913987
breath of the wild has shit music though so it doesnt really compare
>>344916965
I disagree
https://youtu.be/Zp5qji3kaBc
>>344917484
That's some pretty ambient music. I mean, its fine for the game its in. But not really compelling to listen to by itself. And certainly nothing like Joe Hisaishi.
>>344917484
wow it sounds like my asshole after a spicy buritto while a cat decides to occationally run over piano keys
what a fucking masterpiece
>>344912853
You're right, it's pretty much the only place where you can find the same "mood" and wonder that you find in ghibli films. That connection makes me love the series even more.
>>344918117
Ambient seems to be the theme of the soundtrack. They don't want a blaring repetitive tune looping all the time while you explore the open world. I hope there's some good tunes in there somewhere though.
>>344914206
he's like a real life Tingle.
>>344912853
Why was Ni No Kuni's ending so fucking bad? Nothing got resolved and no one got a proper ending or send off. It just ended, like the developers had no idea how to finish the story so they said "Fuck it people like Ghibli stuff anyway they'll buy this regardless"
>>344918117
https://youtu.be/1jm9HvIgbIk
I thought this felt a lot like Ghibli.
>>344918626
I'll be honest, I've been playing original LoZ recently, and the overworld theme gets annoying after a few hours. I'm glad the music is getting toned down.
HOLY SMOKES... My reptile mind. It's like I'm listening to something straight from the future where we've ascended to the next root race or something, and can process higher vibratory stimuli.
What did I just type, I don't even....

>Why does Breath of the Wild feel more Ghibli than Ni no Kuni?
Because of the title and nothing else.
>BotW is actually a futuristic game like ALTTP was meant to be set in a post post-apocalyptic Hyrule
How would you feel about this?
it's because of the font the title is using
>>344911501
>>344912853
It really is a shame that they couldn't keep up the graphical fidelity they were going for in the reveal, especially with this game. It's clear to me they were going for that Princess Mononoke look, and without the draw distance and fields of grass everywhere it doesn't look quite like it. It will still be great, but it suffers more from the graphics downgrade than say SS to me.
>>344915624
I know friend. That game has the best presentation in a game, rivaled only by Diablo 2 imo. Just so damn unique and spot on. It's a perfect example of doing something fresh with Zelda and yet having it be good. Skyward Sword failed in this regard. And TP strayed too close to OoT(even though I thought the artstyle and Zant twilight stuff was actually pretty cool).
>>344920378
Wind Waker might be able to rival my affection for Ocarina of Time, if only the combat weren't so weak.
For crying out aloud, give me a reason to get that Magic Armor crystal and the Hero's Charm, mang!
>>344921243
I think the combat has always been kind of weak and since it feels better and looks more flashy I didn't see it as worse. The only thing that makes OoT better in this regard is that it actually has some difficulty to it, where as WW is piss easy. Though I think that was a concious decision and actually works okay because of the lighter and happier direction of the game. Not so much for TP though which definitely should have kicked up the difficulty.
I sure hope they have the hero mode availible from the start in the new game, because I'd enjoy some challenge from zelda again.
>>344911501
I didn't know Ghibli's works had framerate problems and unimaginative overworlds.
