Kinda disappointed none of my picks got played, but I suppose it's okay seeing as you played a bit of the Junes theme. There were so many better tunes from Persona 3 and 4 you could have chosen... Like much better.

I was very tempted to play something from Disgea or KH...but I know on previous episodes we've played stuff from both of those games. I guess we're going to have to start going to games we've already covered since we've passed 100 eps.

You're right there are probably better persona songs to choose from...maybe we'll do a persona focused episode in the future and cover more of them

Thanks...always on it per usual! I was working on this while working on a presentation for work. Must not have caught everything

Tom...
not sure how much further you are... I'm kinda late on this, but as long as you are doing the side quests as they are given to you in Ni No Kuni... (and get the bonus experience perk first from the second and third rows of merit rewards) you shouldn't ever have to "grind for the sake of grinding."
I'm nearing the end of the game and I have yet to have to grind and usually some if not all of the enemies in new areas will run away from me.

The ONLY issue I'm having... after 40+ hours... is that Esther runs out of MP quickly b/c I gave her main familiar some pretty strong spells to play with.

I've actually stalled out on this game...need to get back to it. Even at an early stage I find I never have enough MP and AI controlled Esther definitely uses up all of her MP super quickly.

Yeah that has been a problem. What you can do is set her to "don't use abilities" if it's that much of a problem. But you will have to handle healing on your own.

What I did is give her familiars some of the really cheap spells like Thundershock (or whatever that first lightning spell is) and healing and set her to "keep us healthy" and that usually does pretty well. I can usually get from one save point to the next without running out of MP.
