I think you can wait. It's still the same game, but there are quite a few improvements. I just flew out of the first planet and I've only good things to say. There are more NPC on space stations for example, you can ask them to improve your vocabulary... The ship controls much better. There are much clearer indications as to what needs to be done. It's cool!

But that can certainly wait until you finish Ni No Kuni!
