The story is literally about an isekai-ed president

Lol, just refunded. I have a feeling that the protagonist will be too OP just like any other isekai novel/manga. Dropped.

play the game on max difficulty and it will be a challenge as the dumb ai of your party wont get out of the way of mob 1 shot attacks

Yeah this was my problem with the extreme difficulty. The AI just wasn't up to the challenge. You can still do it but make sure you have a crap tonne of healing because you will need it to heal the fallen AI players back up. Still, it's worth trying it on that mode if you like a challenge. Fighting something like a manticore is a white knuckle fight.

Interestingly, the president isn't really the main character. Also the original Ni No Kuni is an isekai story too, only it was a young boy transported. In that case, he WAS the main character.

And i actually hoped that Roland could actually be main character or at least have more presence in the game. I don't know why have such an introduction that even might resemble stuff that goes on in our world and not to dig deeper. Instead we have a silly story how a boy want to reunite all countries in his world. I am still in the water city, but i am really disappointed how Roland is treated in this game.

I don't know, I still felt he has a strong supportive role. It's his experience from back in our world that makes him an excellent advisor to the fledgling king Evan. I guess the story is silly, you know, young boy wanting world peace. But given the state of the real world I find that kind of niave optimism to be a welcome relief to be honest.

“that time I got reincarnated as president Obama in another world” coming to crunchyroll and streaming services 2025!

Roland isn't even the main character. I actually never use him once i get a full party.

He's the viewer for this world. The nuke stuff makes sense if you play it awhile. Since it represents the moment the otherworld changed for the darker. In otherwords. The kings copy died in that nuke.

This story reminds me of Dragon Quest 11, from which they cut out the post-game (the real ending) and cut out the quests of the companions, but added a kingdom management and a mini-game with battles.

I suspect the isekai element was added to help sell the game to... I dunno, investors or just the Japanese market which seemingly can't get enough isekai in their lives.

That said, it didn't really bother me, since spoilers, as soon as Roland pulls out a literal gun and starts blasting I was like damn okay this is anachronistic in a fun 'schlock' way.

I also disagree slightly in that I think even though 'Evan' or whatever his name is (I am not a fan of the aggressive localization of the translation, I would have preferred if they kept things closer to what they actually were in the original Japanese) maybe supposed to feel like the protagonist, but given the events of the end of the game, I would argue the game has two protagonists...

I'll refrain from writing too much here but yeah I would at least say, refunding JUST because of the isekai element seems a little premature... but I wouldn't really recommend the game anyway, just according to my personal taste, so I guess you're not missing out on that much.

Wait this is a thread from 2018? Who resurrected this and why???
