Topic: Ni No Kuni DS vs PS3 versions

I can't really find much information on differences between the two games/versions. Are they two entirely different games, or is the PS3 version essentially just an HD remake? I just started Ni No Kuni on PS3 and I can tell from the spell symbols that you had to draw them on the screen on the DS, but is that pretty much the only difference?

Didn't even know there was a DS version! Crazy! Wonder why it wasn't made for 3DS?

It was released a few years ago in Japan, but for some reason they had translation issues and it probably wont ever come to the West.

I think they're the same game story wise.

The PS3 version adds a new story chapter (an epilogue to the DS story). Gameplay wise I think they have very different battle systems and the PS3 version may have new sidequests.

The Stories are different, too, actually. Different cutsenes, different graphics, a few different locations, different boss fights, and ultimately way less content...it was a DS game, after all. I've played both for about 10 hours each, and after a fairly similar beginning, it started to get really different really quickly, IIRC.
