Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch

The hero in this game, Oliver, is the quintessentially perfect role model. He may not be the typical heroic type in that he doesn't enter the scene with the archetypal bravado, with guns blazing and ready for action. Rather, he has a much more quiet personality. He is polite, fun to be around, and exudes kindness. Where he really shines, though, is in the way he deals with a major tragedy in his life. Instead of sulking, he shows that bad situations can be turned around into something positive. Along the way, Oliver interacts with several characters who are all just as nice and friendly. More importantly, though, because of the very well executed storyline and dialogue, players will find themselves easily relating to Oliver, which makes his impact that much more powerful.

Combat is an integral part of the game. Players will encounter numerous creatures that must be defeated before they can progress. However, most of the violence occurs with non-human creatures called "Familiars." Rather than attacking the enemy creatures directly, players direct their Familiars to do battle for them, in a manner similar to what is found in Pokemon games, but at a faster pace. This one step removed fighting, combined with the combat being very colorful and fantastical in nature, lessens the sensory impact of battle. There is no blood or any other flourishes that highlight the combat; the depiction of battle is simply just a means of resolving conflict that players need to overcome.

There are sparing instances of the words "damn" and "hell" throughout the expansive storyline.

There are inconsequential references to wine. In addition, one fantastical creature is depicted smoking a pipe.
