All is set and ready for "Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom," as the creators of the game have recently made a TV commercial for the title that is nearing its release day.

Publisher Bandai Namco is putting on the finishing touches for the promotion for "Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom," which arrives soon on March 23. It can also be recalled that the game has just recently gone gold, meaning the development went smoothly and on time with a few weeks left to spare. Now the only thing left for both the fans and developers is to wait shortly for the game.

Western fans of the game might have trouble understanding the commercial as it was intended for Japanese TV, and as such, is in their local language. There are also no hard-coded English subtitles or auto-generated YouTube English subtitles, meaning English speakers will be doing a lot of guesswork in watching the 15-second commercial.

The commercial also shows off how the game's cutscenes and graphics look like in action, where the combination of 3D graphics and Hayao Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli art is apparently blending well with each other. The game's visual style will surely appease a lot of Miyazaki fans and gamers alike since the game's selling point is that it is basically a Ghibli-themed video game, the first of its kind.

In another media, the developers have also uploaded a new video for "Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom" showcasing the character Tani. The video is essentially a 10-minute gameplay presentation featuring how Tani plays out where she is shown to prefer spear and bow attacks, making her a fighter. Players will be able to switch between Tani's preferred weapons depending on the enemy and the situation where hard-hitting monsters are best attacked from a distance while arrows are best saved when tackling weaker enemies.

More character videos are set to be revealed and uploaded to YouTube once the game nears its release date on the PlayStation 4 (PS4) and Microsoft Windows.
