...or, at least, all I'm going to do with it anyway. Post final boss stuff took way longer than I thought it would.
And... yeah... I don't think I'm going to jump straight into Ni no Kuni 2 right after this. >_>;
(EDIT) Actually, no, I think I will go ahead with it. (/EDIT)
That said, Ni no Kuni is the first JRPG that I've played to completion (mostly) in a very long while, so that's something. (Unless you count something like Ara Fell, though that's not a JRPG in the most literal sense. And the statement in that post of "In any case, as with most stories, it's the little things, the details, that make it unique, even if it's not super-original overall. And... I've long been a believer of the notion that originality isn't exactly the be-all end-all of storytelling, anyway, so I'm not sure why I'm harping on this point in the first place, really," definitely applies to Ni no Kuni as well.)
