Ni no Kuni II Guide Hub: Kingdom Building, Locations, Quests, Citizens, and more explained

Zack mentioned in his review for Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom that it just so happens to be one of his favorite RPGs in years. That's due in part to the absolute wealth of content available for those willing to dig a little bit deeper than hanging out on the critical path.

There's no doubt it will be a Game of the Year contender for our site, but before we get to that part of the year, it's important to take a step back and help out those of you who may wish to have a little assistance during your journey.

With that in mind, we have compiled all the guides we have created over the past week into a hub and will include those we will continue to bring to you, our dear readers. If there's anything that isn't here you would like for us to cover, please be sure to leave your suggestions in the comments below!
