After 47 hrs. 9 mins. and 23 secs. of gameplay since Christmas, I have finally beaten Okami.

My results:

0 deaths +

461 monsters defeated

4246660 yen collected +

224 demon fangs collected

5405 praise earned +

The ones with + at the end were given a top rating by the game, and so unlocked some of the game's unlockables. Looks like I might have to go back, fight more monsters, collect more demon fangs, and beat the game again to unlock the rest.

I can't believe that a single (non-3D fighting) game has taken me so long to play through. But every minute of it was worth it.
