From VG247: «There are tons of short and
sweet side quests in Ni no Kuni 2, littered around the fledgling nation of Evermore and beyond.
[112][136][137] Edge noted that while it did not do enough to make up for the opening chapters, at Gran Pulse the game «hits a
sweet spot» as the narrative offers «hunting
side -
quests and the simple joy of exploring to see what visual marvel is around the next corner.»
You can teleport to the hollow world and tackle those
quests, you can take on and clear floors in the main dungeon, you can take special
side mission requests (in both the dungeon AND the hollow world), you can help out other players who email you when they get into trouble, you can buy, sell and craft weapons, you can pick partners and even foster a little romance with them and, of course, you can do plenty of that
sweet,
sweet level grinding.
