+Emma Roberts Xenoblade does too, called the "god slaying sword" first (roughly) 2 minutes are in a cutscene and the other part is the battle theme, after the boss having their battle theme. Not giving context about such It's up to you if you want to get spoiled or not.
There was just something about using the sun brush technique for the first time against Yami. For the first time, it became an offensive move and also a complete counter to his dark power. It was that turning point where you fully realized the power of a goddess and now Yami is on the defensive, this theme fully encapsulated that moment.
@@bryanlim9817 you can do it by using the moon celestial brush technique, same gose for the mist one where someone aids you by giving you health, its almost like everyone we met both in the past and present are there to help you defeat yami.
I hope so! Amaterasu is quite underrated as a video game character sometimes. Sure, I'm glad Okami has an HD remaster for the Nintendo Switch, yet I feel like Amaterasu becoming a DLC character for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate would be what I describe to be Amaterasu's biggest comeback of all time!
@@Leandra_A.J Kushi would also support. Susano would definitely want some sake while watching Amaterasu beat the crud of Mario, Sonic, Kirby, and many others. #Amaterasu4Smash
I just wish they hadn't benched Amaterasu for MvCI. My team in UMvC3 was always had Amaterasu in it. And Amaterasu being gone isn't the only problem with that game. They also took out a bunch of the other characters that I liked, such as Storm and X-23. Boooo. Oh well, at least we got Mega Man, Thanos, and Gamora. Game still sucks, though.
@@andrewcotter2036 I bet you'll like Amaterasu as a DLC character for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. If that ever happens, Ammy would also have a stage and additional music tracks to go with her as part of a Challenger Pack.

non-gamers will never understand the emotion of listening to the music of places like this game. We lived a fantastic adventure here, as fantastic as a good novel or a great movie, but much more intimate. We are Amaterasu!
@@hiddendrifts Can't we just agree that all forms of media are a way of interacting in a way or another? Movie: Thought processes over the movie, the setting, the plot and maybe also talking about all that with other people. Novel: The scenery you draw in your head, the imagination how you imagine the people in the books look like and all that. Sure, a video game is more direct in terms of interaction, doesn't make the other interactions less meaningful though, at least in my opinion.
@@Justforvisit >doesn't make the other interactions less meaningful< i'm not saying it does. i'm just saying that the immersion of a game carries a different weight than simply watching a movie or reading a book
This is the kind of "final boss" music that kicks in after your broken body has hit the bottom of the abyss, and you're convinced it's all over. But then, you suddenly see that razor-thin beam of light shoot across the darkness -
OKAMI made me fucking cry like a baby. It was probably one of the games that I felt like I was there alongside them. This song is bringing up all those feels. ;n;
During the cutscene just before the final part of the boss battle when this played, I was fucking crying my eyes out. Just seeing all those people supporting Amaterasu (me) and Issun giving that really touching speech made me feel 'Wow, I touched THIS many lives and ALL THESE people care for my it's just so awesome
97Multiphantom When The Greatest Warriar Ever said, "Fido won't roll over and play dead for evil," is what really got me. This game is so absolutely beautiful I can hardly believe it.
darknessincarnate45 its a reference to a game called earthworm jim. bob was a boss who really wasn't a threat in any way, essentially just an evil goldfish in a bowl
This is the first boss fight ever where I actually cry while I'm fighting Yami in his final form. It's so very beautiful and before I got to this point, I never dared to imagine that the game would manage to wrap itself up in such an amazing way. This piece of art will definitely have a special place in my heart for all etirnity!
My favorite characters in the game are 1 from each phase, and 1 from all. Phase 1: Shinshu + Orochi My favorite character in this chapter HAS to be Susano, he goes through so much growth and redeems his cowardice in the most epic way possible. Phase 2: Ryoshima + Ninetails Not quite as many characters, but the best one goes to Queen Himiko, quite the complex character with a tragic fate. Phase 3: Kamui + Yami Largest cast, easiest choice, OKI, my favorite character in the game for his badass design, cool-headed personality, strong sense of honor, and his GODLY (joke intended) character development. Shared Between Phases: Tie between the only options, Issun and Waka.
Just one year ago I heard this song for pure coincidence. I decided to buy the game completely blind, I knew absolutely nothing about it and I had a whole blind run experience. I totally don't regret it, for once in a very long time I felt like I really lived through the game instead of just playing in, and when I finally heard this song ingame my head was just "this is it, you made it, now finish it". One of the best games I've ever played
This. This is the epitome of awesome final boss music. This is beautiful and intense at the same time. I own this game, and I love EVERY SECOND of it. The final battle is by NO means an exception, and this music sets the mood of the Sun Goddess, restored to her prime, versus the Ruler of Darkness, threatening to encase the world in shadow. Go, Ammy!
I know that feeling. This game is a masterpiece. Fantastic gameplay, an incredible story, memorable characters with a lot of personality, beautiful visuals, and of course, this soundtrack that is beyond words. It's sentimental, exciting, atmospheric, all in the perfect times and sometimes all at once. I won't say this game is perfect for 3 reasons. 1: Having to fight the same boss three times. 2: That motherf*cking Blockhead Grande. 3: It ends. Other than these nitpicks, the game is flawless.
MrLuizilla Every game has flaws, yes, but this, for me, is just one amazing game. And yes. Fighting Orochi THREE TIMES? That's a bit too much. Granted, I loved being able to just beat Ninetails' face in again. And yes. Blockhead Grande. He was irritating, but I SOMEHOW got past him at one point. It sucks because you have to hit the points in the order they appear. And yes, the game ends, which is sad because I wanna see the story continue. This is an absolutely amazing game.
Clover Studios reformed to make PlatinumGames, who made the likes of Bayonetta, MadWorld, and The Wonderful 101. That's a pretty good trade-off if you ask me!
You cannot even front. This is one of the most epic final boss battles in video game history. A fitting end to a fantastic game. AND the track is EPIC af. Play this shit in the gym. Instant motivation!!
Good for you! I like how this happy song plays when the final part fighting the final boss happens, seems weird on a designers idea, but went well for playing it.
I'm more or less the only person I know who ever finished Okami. This track, and the moment in the game it occurs, is what my friends are missing out on.
This theme... THIS THEME REPRESENTS THE POWER OF OUR BELIEFS AND OUR WILL! THIS THEME REPRESENTS THE POWER TO ACCOMPLISH ARE GOALS AND DESTROY THE DARKNESS WITHIN! THIS THEME IS THE THEME TO END ALL THEMES!!!!!!!!! XO
I always come back here because this was the track that made me fell in love with video game music. From the days of watching Chuggaaconroy playing it to me experiencing for the first time on a switch. I can't help but get emotional every time I listen to this track
Every single time I play Okami (and it's been a lot of times) when she regains her full power at the end and howls, then this music starts, I have chills and almost feel sorry for Yami because no way he could stop the most powerful of the gods this time. EPIC! :D
Such a good game. Such a good soundtrack. I am so pleased that I walked into GAME that day and saw that unusual PS2 game in the shelf with its big red circle and a white wolf, and bought it as a gift. It's the best game I watched someone else play through.
OMG!! I love this song!! I just finished the game 2 weeks ago and now I'm dancing to this gone whenever I hear it. When Ammy was all sad and everyone started to believe her and she gotten into a new form and when this song came on during the final boss. I went "Let's do this!" It motivated me Cx Such a beautiful game Okami forever
Whenever im down or sad, I listen to this song, to know that in the end, there's still a shining sun in the sky and that everything's going to be alright.
I really want this game, but I can't decide which version I should get, and where to get it. This track is one of, if not the best song(s) in history. Clover is not gone, they are Platinum, and Bayonetta 2 is their latest release, for those of you who miss Clover, they are still here, and you can support them by buying the masterpiece that is Bayonetta 2.
I'd probably recommend the HD version on Playstation Network, since it's the easiest one to find. However, the original credits theme "Reset" is completely removed, probably because Capcom couldn't get the rights to use that song again. Aside from that, it's the best version, since it supports traditional controls or motion controls similar to the Wii version thanks to the PS Move. It also retains all the graphical fidelity of the PS2 version that the Wii version removed in favor of brighter colors.
DO NOT Get it on the Wii. Get the original PS2 game. I never actually finished it, but I watched a friend play through the whole game. It's a VERY good game.
I remember while finishing off the boss, my heart was so pumped to do beat it. I was chanting encouraging words to myself as I remember the things I had done for everyone. The adventures we had, the laughter, the sorrow, the fun, the battles. I was dogging all his attacks without hesitation. I took every second he was vulnerable as an opportunity to fix what was done from this beast. At first, I didn't think it could be done, but once I noticed how everyone I met was praying for my survival and victory, my heart was lifted and took flight. The power of hopes and determination swelled within my soul, my eyes wide open as I threw everything at him. No matter how many times I would die, I wouldn't stop fighting. I wasn't going to give up now. Not because I'd gone too far; but because I was given the chance to make a change. This game was truly amazing. The art was beautiful. I don't think I could've asked for anymore from the creators of this masterpiece. I did not regret anything while playing throughout the game. And though I had some troubles on my play through, in the end, it was just absolutely stunning.
I've heard many amazing final boss battle themes in my life, but this one takes the cake! Bravo, Japan! 2 thumbs up for both the game and this amazing piece of music!
+TheVectorSilver The song is even more awesome when you're battling Yami with Amaterasu's power fully restored and using the celestial brush to block all of his attacks. This is a game where you truly feels like a god! It's a hell of a journey that everyone should enjoy. Simply unique!
+Luciano Garcia It's one of the best feelings ever in a videogame, to be up against the final duel against the final boss, feel genuinely threatened by him, but at the same time know that you have all the courage / power / second wind you need to triumph over him ... while listening to a heroic musical score proclaiming that the only outcome can be victory ... and then actually win, on the first try. Like another commentor said earlier, this may be the musical track assigned to the final boss, but the song is YOUR THEME. It doesn't sing about how evil and powerful the boss is, it sings about how YOU are about to wipe the floor with it. I've played a lot of adventures, but the ones that fulfill all of these criteria are precious few, and Okami is one of them.
Okami has to have the best OST I've ever heard in a game. I mean, there are a ton of good, epic and memorable game scores out there, but this is one is really unique and instantly recognizable.
I could imagine either a remix or the original version of this theme being used in Amaterasu's reveal trailer if she makes it in. She can sometimes be quite underrated for a video game character. I feel like Amaterasu becoming one of the five DLC characters for the Fighters Pass for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate would truly be, *her time to shine again!*
Ah, I'm getting chills and im tearing up. I grew up on this game, and have played it over 5-6 times now. I can imagine my whole adventure while listening to this song. No matter how many times I play, I have fun and it never grows old on you. Everyone needs to play this game. They won't regret it.
it's almost the end of the year, and it feels like we're finally reaching the end of the tunnel and this song just perfectly summarizes that feeling :)
Love this song.. best lass boss music going. How Ami loses her powers, things look bad, then the prayers and hopes of all she helped give her the strength to "finish the fight" the music reflects it perfectly. Upbeat and full of hope.. such an amazing game.
This was my favorite game ever for the PS2. It was very emotional. I loved how it had it's funny moments, sad moments, and serious moments along with it's happy moment's. :) When my friend showed me this game and let me borrow it I instantly fell in love with it. When he had to move he gave me Okami as a token of our friendship. I love the art as well in this game. Best game ever.
Now I wish I had this game this final boss theme is the best one I've heard yet I now got to find this game and make a play through of it it's that AWSOME!
This is the best game ever. I love this game, I still gave it on ps2 :) such an amazing story, unmatched graphics and unbelievable gameplay! Thank you Capcom and CloverStudios
For the entirety of the game, every boss fight has had the theme of the boss playing. Not until the final phase of the final boss do you get to hear the true theme of Amaterasu. 'Tis a thing of sheer beauty when this song begins to play.
Go and save the world, Ammy! For all Nippon have faith in you, and trust that you will defeat the Evil and bring light and peace to the world again! ___ This game is so beautiful and emotional. Truly a masterpiece that won't age a second.
i love that through out the fight not only are we regaining the brush techniques, we also can see the spirits of some people we met throughout the journey, nagi can be seen slicing yami in half when using crescent, Himiko gives you health when using mist veal, and oki can be seen when using blizzard. it feels like their spirits are there to watch over you and assist you to fight back the evil and bring forth the rising sun.
This game has everything that I love in a good game; Fun gameplay, awesome battles, awesome soundtrack, awesome story, awesome characters, comic relief etc.
Hearing this theme and then relearning all of the brush techniques (sunrise included this time) was SO AMAZING and I had chills until the credits. And then the credits music gave me chills too because *of course it did* .
Okami is one of the best games of all time: ' ) Good music , good story , great gameplay and beautiful graphics , plus the game is very exciting and made me feel many feelings , something that has not happened with any other game up this day , it is definitely the best game I've played in my PS2 , along with devil may cry.It's too sad to have left forgotten this game , had little attention even when it came out (in my opinion) *i am sorry i dont speak in english*
More people should play this game, it is absolutely AMAZING and so is the soundtrack. I'm hoping it becomes more popular and they make a sequel/threequel for the 3DS. It would look awesome in 3D. #okamiamaterasu

Such a good game. Such a good soundtrack. I am so pleased that I walked into GAME that day and saw that unusual PS2 game in the shelf with its big red circle and a white wolf, and bought it as a gift. It's the best game I watched someone else play through.
A beautiful and underrated game, it was truly a masterpiece
OMG!! I love this song!! I just finished the game 2 weeks ago and now I'm dancing to this gone whenever I hear it. When Ammy was all sad and everyone started to believe her and she gotten into a new form and when this song came on during the final boss. I went "Let's do this!" It motivated me Cx Such a beautiful game Okami forever
Masterpiece.
"I'm sorry Yami, were you doing something? I couldn't hear it over the sound of how awesome my theme music is."
Whenever im down or sad, I listen to this song, to know that in the end, there's still a shining sun in the sky and that everything's going to be alright.
The memories of my constant playing of this game. overwhelming.
I really want this game, but I can't decide which version I should get, and where to get it. This track is one of, if not the best song(s) in history. Clover is not gone, they are Platinum, and Bayonetta 2 is their latest release, for those of you who miss Clover, they are still here, and you can support them by buying the masterpiece that is Bayonetta 2.
I'd probably recommend the HD version on Playstation Network, since it's the easiest one to find. However, the original credits theme "Reset" is completely removed, probably because Capcom couldn't get the rights to use that song again. Aside from that, it's the best version, since it supports traditional controls or motion controls similar to the Wii version thanks to the PS Move. It also retains all the graphical fidelity of the PS2 version that the Wii version removed in favor of brighter colors.
gmaster2647 Unfortunately, I don't have the PS move controller, I don't want to buy it just for this game too, anything else?
Hearth Stoned PS Move is just an option actually, you can play it with just the regular controller.
Oh, well in that case I'll probably get the PS3 version. Thanks!
DO NOT Get it on the Wii. Get the original PS2 game. I never actually finished it, but I watched a friend play through the whole game. It's a VERY good game.
With this, your spell of eternal darkness shall be broken, AND THE DAWN SHALL COME!
Touhou reference?
End of imperishable darkness "Rising sun"
I remember while finishing off the boss, my heart was so pumped to do beat it. I was chanting encouraging words to myself as I remember the things I had done for everyone. The adventures we had, the laughter, the sorrow, the fun, the battles. I was dogging all his attacks without hesitation. I took every second he was vulnerable as an opportunity to fix what was done from this beast. At first, I didn't think it could be done, but once I noticed how everyone I met was praying for my survival and victory, my heart was lifted and took flight. The power of hopes and determination swelled within my soul, my eyes wide open as I threw everything at him. No matter how many times I would die, I wouldn't stop fighting. I wasn't going to give up now. Not because I'd gone too far; but because I was given the chance to make a change.
This game was truly amazing. The art was beautiful. I don't think I could've asked for anymore from the creators of this masterpiece. I did not regret anything while playing throughout the game. And though I had some troubles on my play through, in the end, it was just absolutely stunning.
I've heard many amazing final boss battle themes in my life, but this one takes the cake! Bravo, Japan! 2 thumbs up for both the game and this amazing piece of music!
This is so beautiful and heart-warming. I have never played this game though. :(
Vector Silver me neither sadly :(
I want to badly
+TheVectorSilver The song is even more awesome when you're battling Yami with Amaterasu's power fully restored and using the celestial brush to block all of his attacks. This is a game where you truly feels like a god! It's a hell of a journey that everyone should enjoy. Simply unique!
+Luciano Garcia It's one of the best feelings ever in a videogame, to be up against the final duel against the final boss, feel genuinely threatened by him, but at the same time know that you have all the courage / power / second wind you need to triumph over him ... while listening to a heroic musical score proclaiming that the only outcome can be victory ... and then actually win, on the first try. Like another commentor said earlier, this may be the musical track assigned to the final boss, but the song is YOUR THEME. It doesn't sing about how evil and powerful the boss is, it sings about how YOU are about to wipe the floor with it.
I've played a lot of adventures, but the ones that fulfill all of these criteria are precious few, and Okami is one of them.
Stratelier i hate oni island
Okami has to have the best OST I've ever heard in a game. I mean, there are a ton of good, epic and memorable game scores out there, but this is one is really unique and instantly recognizable.
If Ammy came to Smash Ultimate, this music would play 😍
I could imagine either a remix or the original version of this theme being used in Amaterasu's reveal trailer if she makes it in. She can sometimes be quite underrated for a video game character. I feel like Amaterasu becoming one of the five DLC characters for the Fighters Pass for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate would truly be, *her time to shine again!*
April 20th, 2006.
I will never, EVER forget that day.
Never.
one of the most underated games ever
Amazing how this song make me want to play the game again for the Xth time...
Ah, I'm getting chills and im tearing up. I grew up on this game, and have played it over 5-6 times now. I can imagine my whole adventure while listening to this song. No matter how many times I play, I have fun and it never grows old on you.
Everyone needs to play this game. They won't regret it.
it's almost the end of the year, and it feels like we're finally reaching the end of the tunnel and this song just perfectly summarizes that feeling :)
I've never played Okami before, but I feel such freedom with this theme, I love it!
and play well. I finished it 5-6 times and never got tired of it! Master class from Capcom for once. (and especially Clover)
Love this song.. best lass boss music going. How Ami loses her powers, things look bad, then the prayers and hopes of all she helped give her the strength to "finish the fight" the music reflects it perfectly. Upbeat and full of hope.. such an amazing game.
This game is a masterpiece
who else is back here after announcing Okami HD for the Switch?
Me, of course! I can't wait for it to come out!
This was my favorite game ever for the PS2. It was very emotional. I loved how it had it's funny moments, sad moments, and serious moments along with it's happy moment's. :) When my friend showed me this game and let me borrow it I instantly fell in love with it. When he had to move he gave me Okami as a token of our friendship. I love the art as well in this game. Best game ever.
this shit is eternal.. i'll be jamming to this when im old and grey, i swear it.
Only 20 mins to enjoy the music? What if I want to spend the entire 50 roaming around the Shrine Ruins enjoying every second of it!?
Now I wish I had this game this final boss theme is the best one I've heard yet I now got to find this game and make a play through of it it's that AWSOME!
I was crying before I notice. This music is beautiful!
My childhood.... I'm gonna cry lol. I'm so happy to have grown up with this game 😭
This is the best game ever. I love this game, I still gave it on ps2 :) such an amazing story, unmatched graphics and unbelievable gameplay! Thank you Capcom and CloverStudios
i absolutely adore this tune- it's incredibly triumphant and gives a feeling of power to the player as they finish off the final boss.
I never knew that it was possible for music to SING. But okami's music just takes my breath away each and every time I listen to it.
One of my favourite soundtracks Okami is the best game I have ever played :)
For the entirety of the game, every boss fight has had the theme of the boss playing. Not until the final phase of the final boss do you get to hear the true theme of Amaterasu. 'Tis a thing of sheer beauty when this song begins to play.
Best final boss theme in videogame history (At least for me)
Literally just beat the game twenty minutes ago! BEST GAME EVER!!!! ☀️🐾
If Amateratsu gets in Smash, i hope they have a remix for this song
So this is what all the hype is about!? **laughs incredulously** ...There needs to be more hype!
Yami: Why do i hear boss music?
I'm here again because of the event quest in Monster Hunter Rise.
One of the few games that got me to cry like a baby, I freaking love this game
This song gives me goosebumps, and I haven't even played the full game yet! Beautiful!
CHILLS
Go and save the world, Ammy!
For all Nippon have faith in you, and trust that you will defeat the Evil and bring light and peace to the world again!

This game is so beautiful and emotional.
Truly a masterpiece that won't age a second.
I was not ready when this music played. I had to fight the boss and my tears haha
Ammy: "I am no longer trapped in here with you. YOU are now trapped in here with ME!"
i love that through out the fight not only are we regaining the brush techniques, we also can see the spirits of some people we met throughout the journey, nagi can be seen slicing yami in half when using crescent, Himiko gives you health when using mist veal, and oki can be seen when using blizzard. it feels like their spirits are there to watch over you and assist you to fight back the evil and bring forth the rising sun.
this is the best okami battle theme ever!
Happy 15 year anniversary Ammy! :)
The combination of events that happened along with this song really made this THE best boss battle in the game (single tear)
This music has so much Shinto in it.... so good!
44 people will meet yami, orochi, and ninetails very soon
Ikr not supporting the sun goddess
Or, probably the ones that i recently defeat. xD
Amaterasu Ok, what is happening here? first, i see chibi on youtube, and now i see you. who am i going to see next?Orochi?
Amaterasu so hows heaven? lol
BLU Spy You never know...
5:32... and there my friends, goes the most beautiful song in the game... until you hit the replay button.
Man I wish this was on current gen consoles. I found the soundtrack not too long ago and now really want to play this game.
Download it from PSN if you have a PS3, just $17.99, or if you have a Wii, order the game
or use the ps4 service to stream ps3 game i thin they have this
Switch.
boy do i have news for you
This game has everything that I love in a good game; Fun gameplay, awesome battles, awesome soundtrack, awesome story, awesome characters, comic relief etc.
okami had the most beautiful ending that I have ever seen
How is this NOT Japan's anthem?!
christakisf Christakisf japan’s anthem sucks though.
Praise the sun ya'll!!
Hearing this theme and then relearning all of the brush techniques (sunrise included this time) was SO AMAZING and I had chills until the credits. And then the credits music gave me chills too because *of course it did* .
Okami is one of the best games of all time: ' ) Good music , good story , great gameplay and beautiful graphics , plus the game is very exciting and made me feel many feelings , something that has not happened with any other game up this day , it is definitely the best game I've played in my PS2 , along with devil may cry.It's too sad to have left forgotten this game , had little attention even when it came out (in my opinion) *i am sorry i dont speak in english*
Extraterrestrials should listen to this =D
More people should play this game, it is absolutely AMAZING and so is the soundtrack. I'm hoping it becomes more popular and they make a sequel/threequel for the 3DS. It would look awesome in 3D. #okamiamaterasu
there really isn't a single bad tune in this game and I don't think I can say that about any other game, or even my entire cd collection. hmm
+bezoticallyyours83 Xenoblade :)
+SL99999 yeah? I haven't played it yet. I will definitely have too. :D
You really should
Even the freaking jingles are good.
Okami was one of the best games I ever played! With this music in the background while you are fighting Yami just sets the whole mood! Okami
