... Oh, come on, there was a Legend of Zelda thread, don't tell me you didn't see this coming.
Anyway, yeah. Any interest in this sadly-underrated game? Fangirls on which side? Anyone want to send Capcom an angry letter demanding they start making a third game now? (Just kidding. That'd be a disaster...)
Anyone? Come on, I'm looking at YOU, fellow geeks.
Would your avatar happen to be Rika Furude? Or Bernkastel? *has Higurashi on the brain, sorry*
It is indeed. (a fun game, not me knowing what your avatar is, I'm still clueless...) I've played about five times over. I'm not going to spoil anything for you, but it can quickly go to moving you to tears in the later parts. That's it.
Okay, I'm going to turn off the spoiler button. Woot.
The graphics are why I love it. For me, games have to have good graphics. And Okami just takes it all to a different level and then drops some awesome bombs on the place. I haven't played it in years-I had to borrow a friends copy because I have no money-but I want to play it again. I can remember all of it, too, especially how frustrating it was sometimes.
My avatar on the forums used to be Waka, actually. He's my favorite, with his little flute and glowy sword. Not to mention the Frenchiness -swoon- Okay fangirlism aside... -cough cough- agreed, it's definitely a greatfantastic game that deserves more recognition. I remember when I tried finding it in the stores when it first came out- nearly effing impossible -.- I finally found one, just one, practically hidden in a GameStop. I have to say that some of my favorite parts of the game are the goodies at the end (the different skins) and the music; it's so pretty/intense/toogoodtobetrue.
So like, does anyone else have the official art book? Cuz like, if you don't, definitely get one: it's AMAZING. The binding on mine is falling apart due to the many times I've looked through it xD
*eye twitches* Shoot me now. The name, it corrupts my screeeeeennn.
I actually have Lily refer to him as 'the French crossdresser' throughout my fanfic Prelude to the Rising Sun. A LOT of reviewers comment on this.
In other news, I didn't even know there WAS one :O *runs to Amazon screaming GIVE ME BOOK I WANT BOOK RAWR*
I remember when I got my copy of Okamiden it was a few months after release. I tried the local mall GameStop first and was practically "T-T"ing when they told me they were out of stock, asked if I wanted the Wii version and I just stared. "Yeah... no. Wrong game out of the TWO." They directed me to one closer to home that had one copy in stock, though~ Love the games and I believe it'll be high time to write an angry letter to Capcom if we don't get a third game. They owe us that much.
And I actually wouldn't mind seeing him crossdress... yes, anyway!
Yeah Amazon is where I got mine. It was $35 then, dunno if the price has gone down by now or not. So how is Okamiden? And well, hm... Okamiden just came out so it might be a while until a third one xD 'tis too bad Clover isn't around anymore, though...
Actually, I was talking about the normal getup, but whatever. And, er, I'm the anti-fangirl... *laughs nervously and is shot*
Oooh, ouch, Cinto. I literally almost had a heart attack during that part... both plays through... (and haven't beaten the game, got to the first stage of the final boss fight and was both crying and swearing the whole time) Several heart attacks. That minigame SCARED me XD
It's crazy how right now I'm both talking to you guys and one of my online best friends who's a total fangirl, but that's okay because she's a fellow self insert writer and at least Celia's on my side. ^.^
Look up TheCrazyAuthors on FFN. In the Okami section I've got Rewind (a parody), What I've Become (Okamiden oneshot that went off from its original intent and was sort of dark but of course humor comes of the control pad), His Lily (spinoff romance songfic for ALBN, which I'm getting to), A Lily Blooming in Nippon (otherwise known as ALBN, which is a FINISHED (woot!) self insert), Prelude to the Rising Sun (Sequel to ALBN. Never finished, but planning on it.), and... I think I listed them all :/ --wait, no, there's Sleepover, an Okamiden fic that's kind of self explanatory from the title. And I swear it's only rated T for occasional swearing. (wow, redundancy...)
I'm right before that part, actually. But i saw it on YouTube and nearly got a heart attack as well xD
...So now i'm scared to actually play it...
OTL
About the fanfics, you had me hooked at the part a few posts up where your character Lily referred to Waka as the French Crossdresser... I'd go read it right now, but FF.net's blocked. *cries*
But good luck when you do get there, because it's like catapult NPC that speeds up when you think you've lost her, BAM heart attack... "OH CRAP SHE'S RIGHT BEHIND ME, WHY ISN'T THE JUMP BUTTON WORKING D8"
Okami is one of my favorite games. I'm holding out for the art book for Christmas :D Waka would have to be my favorite character, followed closely by Issun and Ammy. I love the music to the game just as much as I love the graphics - there's some really awesome piano arrangements of some of the songs that I love to play. (The Sun Rises, anyone?)
Aw, now I want to play it again, and I don't think I'll have time until NaNo's over... -sadface-
Hey, guess what! I cleared the Witch Queen part! It only took me...Three tries! 8D Got up to the part where you partner up with Kagu again and heal Ayame. ...Not gonna push my luck any further today o.o;
Is Waka exactly/alot like Kurow? If so, he'd be my second favorite character. *shotshotshot*

Re: Okami
I LOVE this game! ^_^
I'm playing the entire game now, currently I'm where you have to go into the water dragon. It's such a fun game ^_^
Re: Okami
Playing the entire game "over again right now" , is what I meant to say....

sorry for the late reply, but it's Bernkastel ^_^

Re: Okami
Sad, how we're about the only three... out of more than 59670... -.-'' I refuse to believe this.

Re: Okami
You're not alone! OwO
Just got Okamiden a few days ago. I'm at the part where the Witch Queen chases you through what appears to be a cross country course.
Re: Okami
WHY DOES IT CORRUPT YOUR SCREEN? D:
And I actually wouldn't mind seeing him crossdress... yes, anyway!

Re: Okami
His normal get-up is girlish? o.O ...okay, the pom pom things on his shirt is a bit... and his hair is shiny...
And I'm not a raving lunatic fangirl, haha. Aside from Waka, my second fav would have to be the butt slapping imp :( Made me sad to kill him.
Re: Okami
As tvtropes says, "Only Real Men Wear Pink"... and I don't believe them.
*shot*
Re: Okami
And as Boy George once said, "I'm all man under this skirt" (or something to that effect, can't quite remember), and I totally believe him.
:D
But we digress!
You write fanfic? What about? ^^

... yeeeaaaah.
Re: Okami
Wait, update. Is DeviantArt blocked for you, Cinto? Cause I'm uploading the chapters there...
(Lily: YOU STILL HAVEN'T UPLOADED CHAPTER TWO, GENIUS. -.- *goes over to Senom's documents and does it herself*)
Re: Okami
I have a dA, but can only access it at a school computer. "OTL
Re: Okami
Ouch. :( Not good, then...
Re: Okami
Okami is one of my favorite games. I'm holding out for the art book for Christmas :D Waka would have to be my favorite character, followed closely by Issun and Ammy.

Re: Okami
*eye twitches* Excuse me a moment. *disappears, is heard swearing in the DreamScape, comes back* Back! I''m good ^.^''
Re: Okami
I think she has a problem when people mention Waka, shhh...
>_>
<_<
Re: Okami
Hey, guess what! I cleared the Witch Queen part! It only took me...Three tries! 8D
Got up to the part where you partner up with Kagu again and heal Ayame. ...Not gonna push my luck any further today o.o;
Is Waka exactly/alot like Kurow? If so, he'd be my second favorite character. *shotshotshot*
