Okami, the greatist game ever.

Posted by ShadowNazi169 - October 13th, 2008


i actually just got done beating a game i bought because it sound like it could waste some of my time, and i have to say that it turned out to be one of the greatist games i've ever played. it's the story of the reanimated sun god Amaterasu, brought back as she was 100 years before as a snow white wolf. 100 years ago ammy (amaterasu for short) and a human named Negi defeted a demon called Orochi, the eight headed sirpent. but in the battle, ammy was wounded by the beasts poison and died afterwards in the village, the villages then felt bad for haveing treated her with such disreapect, because they thought she was one of orochi's helpers. they built a memorial in her honor and the village was at peace again, but 100 years passed and it turned quickly. on the eve of orochi's defeat, a figure went to the shrine built to seal him away. this figure pulled the sword negi had used to finish the beast off, and releaced orochi back into the world. upon it's return it spread darkness acrost the lands of neepon, turning it into a wasteland. when it started to affect the village, the gaurdian tree spirit (who's name i can't remember...) appeared to see what was going on. she saw the devestation that was being caused by orochi and awakened Ammy.

upon her awakening, they had discovered that all of her celestrial brush teckneques where gone. with the spirit appeared a little bug who's name was issun, the wandering artist. he decides to tag along with ammy in order to steal the brush teckneques, and so he does. they travel allover the lands, venturing from the forests all the way to the castle. but the first on the list was orochi, he had to be stoped. ammy and issun headed for the forests where the key to dispelling his barrier lay, and upon entering there they meet a shamen nemed Waka. he tells ammy profacyes when they meet, he'll disappear after each one is complete. but in the end he steals the item and breaks the barrier, with it gone ammy and negi's decendite sussano defeat orochi once again. when the beast dies it's vile spirit splits off and disappers acrost the land, waiting to be reborn. the pieces of orochi's spirit become:
Blight, a virus that creates a acidic mist that covers the imperial city, almost killing all with in it's walls.
Spider Queen, a monster who hides in the forests and traps innocent passers and kills them.
Crimson Helm, this creature was born from orochi's blood, he stops the sacrid wings from blowing in the north.
Nine Tails, a fox using the nine pipe fox spirits, he is the one who kills the queen of the city after discising himself as the priestess, he killed the two of them, only to get defeated by ammy.

you actually have to go into the past and help negi defeat orochi the first time, to make the legends true. after it's defeat, the real ammy from that time appears and saves negi from orochi's final attack, getting wounded. at the end of the game you need to go after Yami, the ruler of all evil. but only ammy is allowed to journey to the shit Yamamoto, carrier of the celestrial beings. it is here yami waits, within the bowels of the ship. ammy goes to defeat yami, leaving issun on the grounds. yami turns out to be a greater enemy then expected, stealing all the brush strokes, leaving ammy a mear mortal wolf. but she gains them back and he destroys them once and for all. but issun spreads the word that ammy was actually a god and was fighting the evil now, the country starts to believe in her and they're prayier awaken the true ammy, fully restored powers and all. she defeats yami and heads back to the celestrial plain to set the world right again, leaving issun to inspire faith in her.

(this is a picture from the game, the black demon is Orochi, on the left is negi, and on the right is ammy.)

Instead of a lengthy text that few people have the patience to read...why not just post some of the highlight videos of why it was so great!

I find it to be the single greatest expierence I've ever had with a video-game.
The concept of an all loving goddess who's beauty over-shadows the sins of the people she loves is definitely a better god of worship than most religions these days.

You should read the origional story of Amaterasu...it's quite tragic, funny, inspirational, and poetic.

Plus it made me enthusiastic about my cultural religion from long ago.

i've read the original story of Amaterasu, it is a really good story actually. plus i didn't know that there where any video's of the game that where any good.
