The reason scenery sometimes changes when you go through a gate vs. going around it is because those are Torii Gates -- They are "doorways" for the gods and mark the boundary between a divine realm and the mortal realm. Because Amaterasu is a god, she's able to cross into the sacred realm by passing through the gates ⛩️🌌 Also, did you hear about the recent Ookami 2 announcement? 🥳🎉 hope to see you check that out too in future, your play-throughs are absolutely delightful - I just love the voices you do, and all the puns~ 🤭✨💯
4:06 The lucky cat is one of two equipables that I get as soon as they're available (the other won't be accessible for a while). Not only does it draw in money and demon fangs in fights, but also foods and ink bottles from pots/bloom. It's a very convenient item in the long run, so I find the grind for demon fangs to get it to be very worth it
1:14 So there are exactly 100 stay beads and collecting all of them gives you the most powerful item in the game. Sadly, this item can only be used in new game + because the final stray bead is your reward for completing the game. So don’t feel like you have to go out of your way to get every single one unless you really want to
Never feel bad about doing a boss poorly! The first time I played this, the Spider Queen whooped me good. It's part of the experience. Edit: "Are you sure you want to be the color of stinky?". Your word choice and puns are truly art.
@@Gaming_Gato Okamis rating system assumes you have New Game Plus knowledge sometimes. At least, that's what it feels like. Thank you so much for not giving up on Okami. Your puns elevate this wonderful classic!
yay for more Okami content to feed upon! out of all the places in Okami, Taka Pass has to be one of my favorite places in the game. I don't know why but every time when I open this game, I always go to check Taka Pass to just see the area and hear the both day and night time music. It's just gives me peace ♡
:O The peace bell!!! It makes enemy scrolls ignore your existence, it's so good. Edit: you might wanna save for some op artifactss, but they're a while away yet, and these are inexpensive. Don't worry about grabbing some now!
I ended up really loving Okami when I first played through it. So much so that I'm now on my sixth or seventh playthrough, ha ha. And I never once knew that you could talk to that lady from the restroom again and get a quest from her! I learned something new from this video.
Yay! More Okami! I have enjoyed Twilight Princess, but I’ve missed this play through too. Shame about losing the initial Kusa Village sound file, that sucks when that happens. Regarding the demon fang trader, all of this unique items are good, but that golden cat is probably my favorite of his, because it’s really nice to have that magnet feature. The best item to trade for later costs 100 fangs though, so you are also not wrong to want to save up.
It's definitely a bummer when you lose material, but thankfully it was just the end of the session and not the whole thing :'D I'm tempted to splurge on the lucky cat, I'm curious to see the magnet feature in action!
@@Gaming_Gato Yes! It’s called Okamiden, it released on the DS and sadly hasn’t gotten a port since. It follows the adventures of Amaterasu’s son, Chibiterasu. He gets a ton of different nicknames just like his mom
Are you playing more okami in the future? I recenctly discovered your channel and was exited to see you were playing a game from my childhood haha (also btw love your thubnails for the videos haha)
So, yeah ... that sequence where you're washed downriver and have to vine your way out is actually more difficult than it should be ... the original game's 4:3 aspect ratio provided more vertical screen space to spot the Konohana blossoms in advance, making it easier to latch on to them, but with modern displays being 16:9 you have to be quick on the draw. Also, IIRC you can press the L button to toggle the camera between close/far views. Moley's minigame, for one, is a little easier with the far camera.
Golden Lucky Cat is a bit pricy (50 fangs), but worth it if you don't want to chase after collecting food and money dropped distances away. Other than that, save the fangs for future useful items.
Gato, you don’t need to make a new save file every time you save 💀You could just overwrite your most recent save~ ALSO THE WAKA AIRPOD JOKE CAUGHT ME SO OFF GUARD I FELL OFF MY COUCH LMAOOOOENXIDHSEIJ (Little tip: remember the daruma in the inn? You could do something with it right now with your brush… ;D)
I do save over them sometimes! I just keep making new save files bc they tell you to do so at the start of the game if I remember correctly 😭 gonna remember that tip, too!
omg i can't believe i missed this video i'm such a fake fan T^T (/jk) don't feel bad about doing "bad" in battles! this game is more challenging than it seems, i've played it like 5-6 times and i still can't get some battles perfect. part of the experience (of every game, let's be honest) is being ridiculously bad at the beginning and getting better with time!! remember you only play anything for the first time ONCE, so enjoy the experience of being a newbie as much as you can
"Issun is the only one with braincells!"
No, no. You misunderstand. Issun IS the braincell.

11:10 XD ok but, consuming grapes while fighting frenchboyWaka is on point!
I love the cutscenes that play after restoring a Guardian Sapling, it's so satisfying to watch the wave of flowers chase the curse away.

I love when a game can keep surprising you like that! It's kind of a relief to learn that her quest isn't mandatory to progress with the story 😅
I hope you pick Okami back up at some point! Its so much fun to watch!
Oh for sure!! I've been missing it sorely :'D

Oh if you think this game gives Ammy a lot of nicknames wait til you see the sequel
WHAT there's a sequel???
@@Gaming_Gato Yes! It’s called Okamiden, it released on the DS and sadly hasn’t gotten a port since. It follows the adventures of Amaterasu’s son, Chibiterasu. He gets a ton of different nicknames just like his mom
Despite it being a DS game, Okamiden is an extremely solid game, would definitely recommend checking it out after you finish Okami
@@MothPendragon OOP I nearly missed this, that's so rad!!! I'll totally be checking it out in the future!
This comment aged…hilariously!
Yay, more Okami! Also love watching your zelda content. And, Taka Pass is one of my favorite areas in this game!

VIOLENTLY RUNS TO WATCH!!! Super happy to see more Okami.
All of Waka’s predictions make so much sense AFTER you encounter them

Was there no explanation for Ammy becoming a plain white wolf at the end or did i fall asleep?
The cursed air of Kusa Village slowly drains Amaterasu's ink until it runs out and she reverts to her b a l d form 😭🥺
