No doubt it's the characters that give Okami such vitality they certainly can't be accused of being no more than simple NPCs. The very fact that this is all working with standard conventions yet still gives off the feeling of originality is a testament to the writers. They're about letting you become engrossed in the very act of storytelling and Okami weaves a very fine tale. But myths aren't about dramatic revelations or insane twists. If you have any sort of familiarity with myths in general, you're not going to find a mind-blowing plot. Now, with help from the inch-tall wandering artist Issun, she'll right a lot of wrongs, beat down countless demons, and naturally, save Nippon. But all is not lost! The statue dedicated to Shiranui is brought to life and Amaterasu enters the stage. Making matters worse, someone has disturbed the resting place of the fallen Orochi, allowing the serpent to awaken.
Nippon is no longer peaceful and prosperous, especially with a sinister darkness covering the land. Amaterasu herself is the incarnation of a wolf known as Shiranui who had aided in the defeat of the dread beast Orochi 100 years ago but died due to injuries afterwards. You play as Amaterasu, the Shinto sun goddess, in the form of a white wolf.
#Okami ps2 japanese full#
Okami is full of the aforementioned Japanese myths and religions. I love me some good mythologies, may they be Japanese, Greek, Roman, etc. So what's Okami? Another game muddled in religion and philosophy? A sloppy cel-shaded hack-job for quick profit? Or one of the most captivating rides this side of the PS2? Well, if you've seen it in action, there'll be no surprises in the answer. So evening out the odds, here's a distinctly Asian game from Clover Studio, already famous for their Viewtiful Joe series. Oh religion, will gaming culture ever present you as something other than a faith for the deluded or as a source of indescribable power? Granted, these are all Japanese titles. Valkyrie Profile? Twilight of the Gods anyone? Megami Tensei? C'mon, you're fighting the Christian god more often than not. Name a game where the concept of Сgod' is portrayed favorably (discounting the ever-popular Spiritual Warfare for the NES).
