I remember crying, hard, when I heard this for the very first time ingame. The combination of how gorgeous the place was, the game that was expanding even more, the grandiosity of how powerful the music was becoming at every loop... tears just fell, copiously. I wasn't sad, I was awestruck. Okami is wonderful.
@@segatasanshiro5351 ditto during the real end of the game I was in mode: "good I finished... my adventure is completed... it was the most beautiful game of my life"
back 3 years later, i can safely say that i've played okami about 8 times so far and i'm probably gonna go for a 9th soon enough ^^ i love this game too much...
This story will never leave my heart. This might be an adaptation on an ancient legend, but going on this adventure with the old goddess really changed my life. It made me seek out spiritual cultivation!
Same! Okami blossomed a love for Japan in me that has stuck around even a decade later. Okami made me realize how fascinated I was by foreign mythology, folklore, architecture, food, etc. It not only made me love Japan, but the entire vast world out there in front of me. I'll always be grateful to Okami for showing me that.
@@LilChuunosuke That's beautiful. I share the same appreciation for cultures and while I grew up doing karate and admiring Samurai this was a turning point/level up for my love for J culture
The best thing about Okami is that its characters are almost all based on their own legends and old stories, however loosely. It’s multiple tales of folklore and mythology all rolled into one game if you think about it like that. Every now and then when I watch a let’s play of this game, I learn more about the inspiration behind every little thing because the person playing has the knowledge.
For some reason it always makes a second version of my comment. But anyways. I actually didn't get any of the completing game stuff the first few times I played, making me forced (I wasn't forced I just wanted em) to play it again. I completed it 17 times. About 3 of those times were cus I wanted my stuffs. Now Iv been replaying it for all dem stray beads.
My favorite area in the game for sure. The music is epic and the shipwreck and Cat Call Tower envoke an aura of intriguing mystery when you first arrive at Ryoshima Coat.
DarkMagolor okami does remind me of twilight princess (wolf, riding companion, quest to stop a great evil that has returned, ganon has 4 phases, Yama has 5. ) and This also has a dungeon where you are in a ancient, beast digestive system (the words "ocarina of time" come to mind. Referring to jabs jabu's stomach and either the inside of dragon or the emperor with a flu)
Entering Ryoshima Coast for the first time and being completely overwhelmed by the absolutely majestic visuals and soundtrack of the area will always be one of my favorite videogame moments. A piece of art that is tattooed in my mind since my childhood, thanks to everyone involved in this lovely game.
Video games are no longer just games, they are transforming, becoming one of the greatest art forms ever made. Combining music, painting, sculpture, storytelling, and...something else into an elegant and dynamic medium which this generation is lucky enough to enjoy.
Music like this is proof positive that Okami transcends from being just a game into a true work of art. Also 21 servants of Yami must have disliked this.
It's games like this that I wish I could wipe my memory of and play a second time, totally blind. I was too young to fully appreciate the music and art of the game when it first came out and I would love to play through it without knowledge of it at my current age.
I've never even played or heard of this game yet I stumbled upon this song by pure random chance. Now I'm seeing comments saying the game has a sequel and now I'm even more tempted in playing it😂
this music lituraly brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it, It PERFECTLY fits the surroundings of the whole game which might be simplistic, but made with such passion and beauty,.... no doubt one of the BEST GAMES I EVER played
This may be the first and only TH-cam video where is actually recommend reading the comments. I love you all, and most especially I love this song. Sometimes I fire up Okami just to enjoy the beautiful physics built into frolicing around the coast to this track.
I personally think that, for all the situations in Okami, they fit music to it very well. It's not in every game that you can find music that matches the situation well.
One of the best games ever made, only a few other games in the history of gaming has ever put a smile on my face the entire time. I just wish my PS2 still worked... =[
You know, it takes a trained to recognize each instrument. And personally I think this sounds better when the drums are playing. Either way, every person who helped make this master piece of a game deserves a hug.
I had Zelda TP and this at the same time and I found myself playing more Okami everyday and later I just stopped Zelda and played this every day and even after 20 hours it felt like I still hadn't see the half of it! And the Soundtrack is just HUGE!!!
When the hd version came out on the switch, I was VERY happy to learn that the celestial brush could be used via the touch screen. Made the most patience-testing part of the controls SO MUCH easier, and it feels cathartic to actually make the brush strokes with my finger as if I’m actually painting the lines. While the game always looks better on a bigger screen because it displays the beautiful details that much more, I think the brush controls aged very well for the Switch.
took like 13 hours to get to this part the first time around, I was like, oh so this is halfways, 20 hours laters, maybe I'm halfways now, nah 40 hours later, ah final boss, no wait, 10 hours later real meaty final awesome Dungeon, the end..wow, this game is colossal o_O and very little filler as well, capcom really outdid themselves with this one
I was exaggerating, though the scope of the game feel that big as you play it the first time. I don't really remember how long I spent the first time I beat it, I've replayed it too much to recall :)
Baraubon oh honestly...i just finished it for the first time last week and then i found out it’s 14 years old and barely anyone talks about it anymore which is such a shame
This music just brought tears to my eyes. And it's extremely rare for music to have that effect on me. I've been dealing with a lot of depression lately (I'm not diagnosed or anything, but have been feeling some of the symptoms every now and again) and listening to this song reminded me that things get better. That just because I might feel worthless and unwanted doesn't mean I am and that sticking through the tough times only makes the good times that come afterwards all the sweeter. I've never played this game (though I do want to get the HD version that's coming out soon) and I have no experience with this level, but that's just the effect this music had on me. Truly amazing.
there is one thing in this game that will never be beaten. ok well two things. the story line, and the music. the music... ho my god. especially this song? this just calms me, and puts me into a very relaxed mood. im sure that most of you will agree
I already thought up her specials Up special would be water spout Side special would be slash Down would be cherry bomb Neutral would be bloom,which she could heal herself and as long she stays in the spot she used bloom,she won't get knocked back. The area disappears after 10 seconds,the longer you hold b,the bigger bloom area becomes until you release b. Her grab could be vine. She can switch between the mirror,which can deflect attacks,the sword,stronger butslower attacks, or the bead whip,weaker but longer ranged attacks
This and Zelda are perhaps the two best games from the Video Gaming industry. Theres no need for FPS or litres of blood- a masterpiece can be crafted from a simply story of beauty.
I've always been a big Nintendo guy. Grew up with Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Smash Bros, Kirby, all that good Nintendo stuff. You couldn't even to begin to imagine my surprise when I found this game, and how I was even more surprised when I deemed this the greatest game I've ever played.
The digging minigame music brings me nothing but rage Just makes me think of the "cmon cmon NOOO DONT TURN AROUND DAMMIT THERES A PIT AND IM RUNNING OUT OF TIME" type stuff
Okami was one of the greatest games, and I;m truly glad It's coming out for PS4, X-Box one, and PC. so you will be able to play it again, with Okami HD, I am NOT kidding, it's coming out on Dec 12th, 2017, and I will be beside myself in playing this amazing game again.
god I miss this game so much, I loved hearing this theme... and the whole ost really. the drum part at around 2:45 is my favorite. really wanna play it again
No matter how many times I hear it, the first few notes always end up reminding me of "Marisa Stole the Precious Thing". Now why why why why why can't this game last forever...?

After what I saw in the Game Awards, I had to come back here
We are so back, guys.
HELL YEAH BROTHER
I was thinking about this song when I saw it, truly brings a tear to my eyes
That feeling when you think you beat Okami but then it gets about three times longer.
Kongu_ Inika I thought the game would end at Ōrochi, so it made my life so much better when I realised ai was only half way rhrough
I thought that too when I beat Orochi. Then I was like ''Oh, it still continues..''
You fight Orochi twice
The bamboo girl, underwater palace, etc. brings back memories.
@@Iamandyification Three times. Once in the Moon Cave, once in the past, and once on the Ark of Yamato.
WE ARE SO BACK OKAMICHADS!!!!
OKAMI SEQUEL ANNOUNCED LETS GOOOOO!!!!!
When a game OST alone makes you want to replay that game over and over again. Its just how good it is.
+Dariel Lim ikr
+Dariel Lim Well, there's a beautiful 5 Disc soundtrack for the game, so I can listen to it when I'm not playing the game.
Fak Yuh Googel Where did you get the 5 disc soundtrack?
yes
Ik this comment if 4 years old, but this song and the art style alone sold me on the game :) currently playing though it for the first time :)
When the "WOOOooOOO!!!" kicks in and you feel the sun on your back
I always wondered who tf screamed that
You talking about the reflector or the actual sun
@@virgovertigo322 which reflector there’s two that look like the sun
@@neptune7872 probably solar flare because divine retribution looks more like a sun disk

Okami is wonderful.

@@segatasanshiro5351 ditto during the real end of the game I was in mode: "good I finished... my adventure is completed... it was the most beautiful game of my life"

Hearing it after you beat the game stings even more, it hits like no other.
To those who are still alive after 18 years waiting, WE ARE BACK GUYS🎉
This song makes me want to replay Okami more and more.
back 3 years later, i can safely say that i've played okami about 8 times so far and i'm probably gonna go for a 9th soon enough ^^ i love this game too much...
Played 2 times over the past year and looking forward to a 3rd play through some time. Okami is my favorite game.
Haha yeah...
@@pensluo747I'm going back for my second complete playthrough I've played it once completely but I got half of the shit on the first playthrough
The spirit of adventure is strong with this music
When those drums start playing, it reminds me of running wolves' feet.
It always sounds like thunder to me, and it honestly gives me chills.
My only problem with this song is that it ends.
+Tectiva NOT IN GAME!
Watch the 10 hour versio then :)

I always loved Ryoshima Coast. It was where the game really started to pick up
Yep!! Best part of the entire main quest. It was very meaty with an interesting story.
tbh This second arc is what makes the game.
ryoshima arc is the best of the entire game
A lot of people think this one is the best, I personally like Kamui more but Ryoshima is second for me
@@neptune7872 Kamui was really fun to explore since it had a lot of hidden caverns and fountains, and well...It has Oki.
You know why you're here.
18 years later, still a banger. I'll update you in another 18 years.
The sun rises again, my guy.
This story will never leave my heart.
This might be an adaptation on an ancient legend, but going on this adventure with the old goddess really changed my life. It made me seek out spiritual cultivation!
Same! Okami blossomed a love for Japan in me that has stuck around even a decade later.
Okami made me realize how fascinated I was by foreign mythology, folklore, architecture, food, etc. It not only made me love Japan, but the entire vast world out there in front of me. I'll always be grateful to Okami for showing me that.
@@LilChuunosuke That's beautiful. I share the same appreciation for cultures and while I grew up doing karate and admiring Samurai this was a turning point/level up for my love for J culture
The best thing about Okami is that its characters are almost all based on their own legends and old stories, however loosely. It’s multiple tales of folklore and mythology all rolled into one game if you think about it like that.
Every now and then when I watch a let’s play of this game, I learn more about the inspiration behind every little thing because the person playing has the knowledge.
It's really sad that Okami isn't as well know as it deserves to be.
It's massively popular now but still not enough
It sold 1 million copies from release to now.
However, every one was rated 5 stars.
@@thatonegaminglatias4345 one million? nice. but YES NEEDS MORE
Amaterasu for Smash! No? Just me? Okay...
@@SegaDisneyUniverse Yessss! I'd buy Smash tbh
those thundering drums in the back 2:47!
Coming back to one of my favorite Okami OSTs after the sequel announcement! Welcome back, Ammy!
I finished this game just two days ago on the Wii. One of the best works of art I have ever had the honor of experiencing.
For some reason it always makes a second version of my comment. But anyways. I actually didn't get any of the completing game stuff the first few times I played, making me forced (I wasn't forced I just wanted em) to play it again. I completed it 17 times.

@@yannatoko9898 Nice. 7 years later and it is still pretty much my favorite game.
I remained in the Ryoshima Coast just to listen to this amazing song! Thumbs up if you're guilty of it!
oh hi 10 hours of my total game hours live here
Bring that rag healing thingy and I'm roleplaying as if I'm in a beach chillin'
@@eternal_seokjin7441 in my NG+ file I already had the wood mat so I just left Ammy there for like 3 hours
@@neptune7872Similar to me. Usually after defeating Orochi for the first time, I have Amny sleep on a Konohana blossom, and just love the music.
My favorite area in the game for sure. The music is epic and the shipwreck and Cat Call Tower envoke an aura of intriguing mystery when you first arrive at Ryoshima Coat.
AMMY IS BACK
No, Watchmojo, Okami is not a Zelda clone
I personally was way more invested in Okami than any of the games I have played from the Zelda franchise :)
The people at WatchMojo don't know anything about video games anyway, even though they think they do.
Okami was better than Zelda.
+Pleb on the Web PLUS, Legend of Zelda doesn't have horrible ball-pushing physics.
DarkMagolor okami does remind me of twilight princess (wolf, riding companion, quest to stop a great evil that has returned, ganon has 4 phases, Yama has 5. ) and This also has a dungeon where you are in a ancient, beast digestive system (the words "ocarina of time" come to mind.

Entering Ryoshima Coast for the first time and being completely overwhelmed by the absolutely majestic visuals and soundtrack of the area will always be one of my favorite videogame moments. A piece of art that is tattooed in my mind since my childhood, thanks to everyone involved in this lovely game.
Definitely the most memorable part of the game for me!
okami is one of the most underrated games ever made. it had zelda formula but made itself unique and stand out among a lot of games
The game starts to get really good after defeating orochi for the first time, love this music
Coincidence bumping into you here, huh
Video games are no longer just games, they are transforming, becoming one of the greatest art forms ever made. Combining music, painting, sculpture, storytelling, and...something else into an elegant and dynamic medium which this generation is lucky enough to enjoy.
when the second part starts I genuinely think it’s impossible for me to not get goosebumps
I visited my Zoo in Columbus, Ohio last week and I'm pretty sure this song was playing outside the Asian Elephant exhibit. I freaked out.
I heard this at a Chinese restaurant one time my mom didn't know why I was freaking out
I still remember the feeling of running across those plains back in 2006 after I'd previously thought the game was over, and it just kept going ❤
Music like this is proof positive that Okami transcends from being just a game into a true work of art.
Also 21 servants of Yami must have disliked this.
Listening to this music makes me wonder why I haven't gone back and played the game again
It's games like this that I wish I could wipe my memory of and play a second time, totally blind. I was too young to fully appreciate the music and art of the game when it first came out and I would love to play through it without knowledge of it at my current age.

I'm also playing it for the first time and it's worth the hype!! The game is on sale right now, go play it :)
Please, do yourself a favour and play this game. It's a true, absolute masterpiece.
this music lituraly brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it, It PERFECTLY fits the surroundings of the whole game which might be simplistic, but made with such passion and beauty,.... no doubt one of the BEST GAMES I EVER played
I remember that I always visited Ryoshima Coast to stay to listen to this song.
OKAMI SEQUEL IN PRODUCTION. I’m so pumped
Who's here for the sequel announcement?
Meeee
This may be the first and only TH-cam video where is actually recommend reading the comments. I love you all, and most especially I love this song. Sometimes I fire up Okami just to enjoy the beautiful physics built into frolicing around the coast to this track.
Okami's art style is godlike. pun intended
Such an amazing game.
I personally think that, for all the situations in Okami, they fit music to it very well. It's not in every game that you can find music that matches the situation well.
this music is so calming, yet so intense at the same time, it makes you just want to chill out and relax, while being totally focused
this one has windwaker vibes - sense of adventure and a world so much bigger than your own, open expectations and a greater beyond
We are so back. Okami sequel lets goooo
The Legend Of Zelda can only dream of being this good...
Favorite area in the game. :)
.........name plz?
(jk) you can call me hezen
saaaaame
same for probably every one of us
okami has the best sounds tracks out there
HOW COULD SOMEONE DISLIKE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!?????
A yami sympathizer.
One of the best games ever made, only a few other games in the history of gaming has ever put a smile on my face the entire time. I just wish my PS2 still worked... =[
You know, it takes a trained to recognize each instrument. And personally I think this sounds better when the drums are playing. Either way, every person who helped make this master piece of a game deserves a hug.
Wow this song alone just convinced me to get the game
The "you're 1/3 done" theme.
i finally finished this area this morning, Kamui here i come!
I feel like jumping on a horse and riding along the beach now brb
You tell me. Exactly how I feel about Shadow of the Colossus. It is staggering, amazing, but only for the first time.
Man, when the drums kick in, it's just such a good time!!!
alll these memories about playing okami..... Im crying
The song of adventure.
One of the best games in the world. You'd cry if you beat it, I know I did. Most beautiful game in the world.
Damn i really need to replay this game
I had Zelda TP and this at the same time and I found myself playing more Okami everyday and later I just stopped Zelda and played this every day and even after 20 hours it felt like I still hadn't see the half of it! And the Soundtrack is just HUGE!!!
okami is the best game ever. the story is amazing. the music is on a whole other plain of exsistance. the visuals, although cartoony, are staggering.
Man, Okami just got better and better with Season 2
Best music of all time. I love Okami so much, one of my favorites ;')
When the hd version came out on the switch, I was VERY happy to learn that the celestial brush could be used via the touch screen. Made the most patience-testing part of the controls SO MUCH easier, and it feels cathartic to actually make the brush strokes with my finger as if I’m actually painting the lines.
While the game always looks better on a bigger screen because it displays the beautiful details that much more, I think the brush controls aged very well for the Switch.
The Okami soundtrack has most of my favourite songs EVER!
beautiful song, thanks chuggaaconroy for showing me game Okami
I always liked that little melody that starts at 0:57. I wish this game was more popular. One of the best games I ever played.
This game and all its music is timeless. Nothing compares. Not even Okamiden.
took like 13 hours to get to this part the first time around, I was like, oh so this is halfways, 20 hours laters, maybe I'm halfways now, nah 40 hours later, ah final boss, no wait, 10 hours later real meaty final awesome Dungeon, the end..wow, this game is colossal o_O and very little filler as well, capcom really outdid themselves with this one
It took you that long? I had everything found and the game beat in 25 hours on my first run, on my second run It only took 22.
I was exaggerating, though the scope of the game feel that big as you play it the first time. I don't really remember how long I spent the first time I beat it, I've replayed it too much to recall :)
xD
I agree I long live the game as long as I can. Some tings are so good you never want to see them end. ♥
Yeah, yet the ending in okami is so beautiful lol
This music is the reason I never let night come to Ryoshima Coast.
This was recreated perfectly in Okamiden :D They're both very beautiful songs.
this music is so calming
What kind of rock do I live under to have not picked this game up earlier in life
Baraubon oh honestly...i just finished it for the first time last week and then i found out it’s 14 years old and barely anyone talks about it anymore which is such a shame
The music, the art, the gameplay, the story... there isn't a single thing about this game that isn't a masterpiece.
*Spamming a circle in the sky with the brush for 5 hours* 😎
This music just brought tears to my eyes. And it's extremely rare for music to have that effect on me. I've been dealing with a lot of depression lately (I'm not diagnosed or anything, but have been feeling some of the symptoms every now and again) and listening to this song reminded me that things get better.

Next we will be able to hear this masterpiece on PS4!
there is one thing in this game that will never be beaten. ok well two things. the story line, and the music. the music... ho my god. especially this song? this just calms me, and puts me into a very relaxed mood. im sure that most of you will agree
One of the many reasons I wanted Amaterasu in ssb4 was this song
Imagine her moveset, the stages, the remixes of music, the victory poses man so many possibilities nintendo needs to do that...maybe in a smash 5
Imagine her winning a battle and then her victory pose its like her victory howls.
I already thought up her specials
Up special would be water spout
Side special would be slash
Down would be cherry bomb
Neutral would be bloom,which she could heal herself and as long she stays in the spot she used bloom,she won't get knocked back. The area disappears after 10 seconds,the longer you hold b,the bigger bloom area becomes until you release b. Her grab could be vine. She can switch between the mirror,which can deflect attacks,the sword,stronger butslower attacks, or the bead whip,weaker but longer ranged attacks
Plus okami was ported to Wii and its sequel is a ds exclusive, meaning the series has ties to Nintendo systems
That moveset is very clever when i throught for myself i didnt managed to include the brush tecniques in it.
This and Zelda are perhaps the two best games from the Video Gaming industry. Theres no need for FPS or litres of blood- a masterpiece can be crafted from a simply story of beauty.
This song just embodies adventure. It makes me want to be bold and brave... just like Amaterasu was.

This and Shinshu Fields have the most addicting BGMs. Not counting the digging minigames and Ammyback-riding themes of course.

Just makes me think of the "cmon cmon NOOO DONT TURN AROUND DAMMIT THERES A PIT AND IM RUNNING OUT OF TIME" type stuff
@@kydatyvegrybatokeanvisoko2420 The music is a bop, but the rage is REAL lol
I was laying down and i left the music on then i fell asleep and had good dreams with me and my friend ^_^

Same! I was feeling really disappointed at how short it was for a second there.
This game turns 10 in April. I need to replay it before then.
Update, I did in fact play the game again and now I am hyped to play the next one!
listening to this while eating lunch who would've thought eating a pie could be this epic
Oh the memories....
No...I'm not crying. I'm just sweating through my eyes.
god I miss this game so much, I loved hearing this theme... and the whole ost really. the drum part at around 2:45 is my favorite. really wanna play it again
No matter how many times I hear it, the first few notes always end up reminding me of "Marisa Stole the Precious Thing".
Now why why why why why can't this game last forever...?
The composer(s) deserves a raise.
Somehow this sounds more epic with chugga narrating
Running through the plains
Flowers spring out behind me
I am Okami
this is the best game EVER!!!
this game is not just a game
THIS GAME IS ART!
