Okami HD: Final Boss + Ending

The final boss from Okami, in glorious HD!! After 7 years, i'm uploading this video, because... it's one of my favorite games

[@dahrigames8472]

isn't it weird that the final boss is a ball? and that you're fighting it whilst playing as a dog? it's like the ultimate game of fetch, but its to the death.

[@MrKratosndante]

is furball !!

[@ShaunTheCHB]

There could be symbolism to it being a ball. Being wrapped up in darkness, closed up and never seeing the world maybe?

[@hailo__art]

oml you're so right I never thought of it that way now I'm dying.

[@Nekoneko937]

That ball is the most annoying thing in tansunoko vs capcom

[@Tsumefan2]

actually you are fighting a fish in a fishbowl

[@anfani6839]

"I can tell you the rest of the story some other time" Its time for the sequel, Issun

[@hailo__art]

they made one called okamiden :3

[@michaelchi1336]

Hailey Higginbotham yeah but the problem is it wasn’t developed by clover studios which is now named platinum so they did make some mistakes and ruined some scenes

[@RF-Ataraxia]

@@hailo__art Yeah, about that...

[@TheNexussify]

That cutscene is one of the most emotional moments in gaming history.

[@2urh]

Radical Ed and it's a lightning that is likely to never strike again

[@hailo__art]

damn right I cried

[@zkassai.audio.2]

Shit, damn right. I cried when I finished the game over a decade ago, but I didn't expect it to hit me again today.

[@katelynthewhitewerewolf6376]

​@@zkassai.audio.2 We need more Videogames where the background characters actually encourage the main protagonist to help to defeat the main antagonist instead of being useless cowards.

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

Probably the closest I've every came to actually crying over a video game. What's even MORE sad though is the fact that this franchise hasn't continued in to the next generation. Easily one of the most underrated games of all time. At least as far as the general public is concerned.

[@TimeBolt759]

DuckTalesWooHoo1987 You know while it is sad this franchise hasn't continued. Let's be honest what other stories can they tell? I suppose they could do a game about Shiranui's Journey but I feel this game doesn't need a sequel. So long as this can be played by future generations through the likes of PSN I'll be happy.

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

Seems like they could just go the Zelda route and basically always tell stories about Amaterasu the way they do with Link. It's almost like there's a Link for every time period or "universe" or whatever and couldn't they just do the same with this franchise?

[@TimeBolt759]

DuckTalesWooHoo1987 No that's Zelda's thing and even then they actually have a plotline that connects all the games together. I'm personally not bothered about it but I know people freak out if the games aren't connected. I personally feel that just because a game was good doesn't mean a sequel must be made. I'd rather have one fantastic game than have it go the of Sonic the Hedgehog

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

Well Capcom goes sequel and spinoff crazy for Resident Evil and Street Fighter, and I love BOTH of those series. But then with great games like Okami and Viewtiful Joe they sorta just give up on them. There are TONS of cool things that could be done with an Okami sequel if it were on Wii U because of the potential the gamepad adds. I agree about Sonic though and I'm not saying that I want tons of sequels but just because they make at least a trilogy or something it wouldn't mean they'd have to keep on making them.

[@TimeBolt759]

DuckTalesWooHoo1987 Well I have a different outlook on games in that I care more for the story than the gameplay and I just hate it that needless sequels are made for franchises that quite frankly don't need them. If they do make a sequel I will happily lap it up. I plan to play okamiden when I get the chance.

[@LunarDelta]

OK, I admit it, I totally cried.

[@null0byte]

You're not the only one.

[@leoblaidd]

Me too.

[@penatio]

I almost did as well but I'm too dead inside.

[@auronkardek]

no excuses this time I totally admit it too

[@judgem0rt1s23]

21:33 and onward is the first time I cried and shouted "Fuck yes" to a game. You get your ass kicked, and every friend you've made on the journey perks you up, and restores you to your former glory so that you can fight back twice as hard. And really, this whole fight was badass.Giant Susano slicing Yami when you summon the moon, Queen Himiko's Ghost appearing as protection when you activate the celestial brush; this boss fight, like everything else in this game, is a work of art as well as a true masterpiece.

[@A2s2h3]

when everyone prayed... I so wanted to cry and cheer at the same time

[@quietdad1964]

I cried and cheered.

[@BELINASSIFelipe]

+Fandom Trash i cry every time, this game is amazing =')

[@tommyyhli]

I cried when Ammy howled but Issun was no there :(

[@hamsterseed9659]

Lol

[@puggles5744]

This game is an emotional roller coaster.... I had no idea that this game existed but thankfully i found this game on the nintendo switch in 2020. The game was slow at first especially the introduction, but this game pulled me in and made me curious how the story was going to end. Because at multiple points i thought the story was going to end but it keeps on going. The characters, the game play, the setting, the boss fights, and the music are all great. And the conclusion is a tear jerker, epic, and i am satisfied/happy that i could play this game in my lifetime.

[@jonissues1914]

Woaah that's amazing, finally i see someone new falling in love with this game, this game is a precious experience.

[@jekkudoragon0897]

Here's to hoping it comes out on the newest gen too so more ppl can experience it

[@lifesmanager6318]

amaterasu - " imma beat you by drawing a circle!" yami - "how is drawing a circle going to help you?" *summons the motherfreakin' sun* yami - "well f***."

[@victoriaabraham9423]

It's so sad when Amy thought there was Issun with her ...

[@hailo__art]

It really was it goes to show how close they had become the whole boss battle hit me hard with the feels

[@myy1008]

Who's Amy? Oooh! Ammy*

[@brandommario2]

Myy100 no need for the sarcasm my friend

[@kyusukui2460]

Yeah...I was too glad thinking about Issun returning that I didn't suspect it could be an ilusion to get my guard down.

[@RainSaffy123]

I like how they added in the myth of Amaterasu hiding in a cave with the others complimenting her to get her out again.

[@CidGuerreiro1234]

+RainSaffy123 Right?! Okami is a such a masterpiece, even its details are epic.

[@GemGames3]

I never noticed!

[@Okamimaru01]

Yep. Yami and the fact that Issun wasn’t with her is essentially the boulder that. The mirror that helps Amaterasu is Issun and him fulfilling his role as Ammy’s celestial envoy

[@CidGuerreiro1234]

@29:05 when Ammy becomes the great Shiranui again and "The Sun Rises" starts playing... EPIC CHILLS!

[@leoblaidd]

EPIC!!!!

[@auronkardek]

Even if the fight was bad sadly. I actually loved this moment and played like the boss is my little brother so I don't want to let him loose badly. OK IT WAS FOR THE MUSIC TOO

[@ushabrana1202]

Same bro I got chills

[@julianvanegas2721]

The art direction in the game is INSANE.

[@x.kalibre]

Just finished the game... One of the most amazing experiences I've had in my life as a gamer, and quite frankly, as a person. What a brilliant work of art.

[@appolose1363]

+José Pestana Same here. Okami was a truly invaluable experience for me.

[@darkpaladinlanceramessesii5719]

I love it myself. Best game ever made. The story. Writing and design. Who need hi def

[@Asachara]

if u played the remastered the ending song was cut...the original version has a beautiful song that makes rhe ending 100x more beautiful go listen to it

[@x.kalibre]

@@Asachara nope, played the original, and I actually prefer the song they used in the HD version =)

[@Asachara]

@@x.kalibre whatttt reset was amazing tho and so emotional.

[@karlslayer7659]

If this doesnt make you cry, Nothing Does, what a Beautiful Story.

[@rebeccacooper7481]

My God, as soon as the credits started I was in tears... During the credits I kept saying to myself "I FINISHED IT, I'M SO SAD THE AMAZING JOURNEY AND TALE OF AMATERASU IS FINISHED..." (Although I was glad at the same time) Throughout my first playthrough I was so determined to finish Okami also I couldn't put down my controller from the epic adventure I was having. I will never forget this amazing, beautiful unique adventure. Okami is officially in my top 5 favourite game of all time.

[@x.kalibre]

+Rebecca Cooper I'm actually feeling all of that right now =)

[@Leolimalps]

In my top 5 too

[@hailo__art]

I thought the exact same thing! In fact I was so determined, I finished it at 3 AM on Saturday or maybe it was even a Sunday night. I was so satisfied with the ending, but pissed because there wasn't a post game because I wanted to keep playing, I didn't want to let go. I grew to love the characters, the art style and the music. I was in love with the game. I had never played anything else like it! I didn't sleep much for the next three days because my mind was blown and working, trying to process "Omg its over I actually finished it..." Then I taught myself Sumi-e painting. It is definitely in my top 5 as well along with Undertale, Skyrim, Legend of Zelda, and Pokemon in no particular order. Okami truly impacted me as a gamer and a person. If anyone is reading this.... thank you for listening.

[@ninetailedfox579121]

I remember how much I wanted this game when it came out. I didn't get it though, then one day 6 years later I saw a used copy at Gamestop (how lucky was I?) and I remembered how much I wanted it so I picked it up. I got home, started playing it, and couldn't put it down until I had beaten it. 6 years of waiting was completely worth it and it is still my favorite game of all time to this day.

[@Asachara]

if u played the remastered ur missing the beautiful song at the end of the original ps2 how the ending was meant to be

[@justanotherstarcoshipper8641]

Hideki Kamiya mentioned that he had some ideas for Okami 2, Let's all hope and pray for it to become a reality

[@sergiomatheus3392]

Didn't it come out to DS?

[@Monado-th8jl]

Yeah. There was a sequel called Okamiden for the DS where you played as Ammy's son, Chibi.

[@DaggettoHeeho]

The problem with that game is, the original team that made Ôkami don't did make that one. Even in that game Ammy is a "he." So Ôkami never get a sequel.

[@ninetailedfox579121]

I don't really want a sequel. A sequel to perfection can never live up to the original.

[@avallach2061]

21:33 forward is just plain beautiful and if you're really invested in the story is an unbelievable explosion of emotion, all the journey spirals to this big climax. I cried when I was younger playing for the first time, I cried replaying the game now. Such an underrated piece of art, one of the few games you can feel its soul, you play it and you know it was made with love. All my love to everyone involved in the creation of Okami, thanks for the wonderful experience that'll never forget.

I bet the narrator was actually issun but older

That makes the entire game so much sweeter, oh my stars!

[@mpja]

Good games never get old

[@Okami1313]

Still my favorite boss fight in all of gaming, and it's because of the music. In the very end there is no desperate feel to the music. It's the standard open world theme. It is a piece of hope. It's not can we defeat Yami, Yami has already lost, defeating him is just a formality

[@xenorayy]

I've never cried more over a videogame, the music always gets me

[@WTFProProductions]

Oh my god is issun telling the story

[@izunia8436]

Yes because "You`d best show my brush the respect it deserves!" Kinda clues you in on the possibility of the narrorator being Issun. (When I said Yes I meant maybe)

[@lowkeyc3115]

Raven At first I thought it was Waka/Nagi because after you defeat that mist inside the emperor's stomache he said "It rushed like it had a rendezvous with a lost friend" or something and the only character that speaks lines with French words is Waka/Nagi... ARGH the last cutscene got me confused..as it sounded like Issun

[@hailo__art]

It's Issun. Here's how you know: The way he talks and how he mentioned "You haven't figured out how only I knew this story" part meant it was Issun. Issun was there for Amy the whole time apart from the battle, but as a celestial envoy he would have access to the details of the battle.

[@darkpaladinlanceramessesii5719]

The final battle and the scene before it and the ship sailing to the sky. Bring me to tears..best game ever made

[@uncomfortablyclose8481]

I kinda regret finishing this game in the middle of the night because I was so damn tired and couldn’t fully appreciate what was happening. This game is up there with some of my favorites and I’m so glad I finally got around to playing it.

I am not ashamed, but proud, to say that I cried and still cry every time I see this scene. I always wanted to play this game, but could not play it until I got the HD version for Switch. The ending was so emotional. I think this hit me harder because one of my dog's (an akita inu) is named Amaterasu because of the goddess and because of this game, which I played years after Amaterasu was born at my house.

It was a fanfic named "The Twilight Will" that introduced me to this game. A canon divergent crossover with "Kingdom Hearts" in which one of the worlds visited was this one (and I gotta say, this game really fits "KH" vibes incredibly well, I'm glad I got to know this game). Oh ! And unlike what most might think, Roxas is the protagonist, not Sora, since this story is a "what if" of sorts. I'm a bit sad though. Sad, because many of the deaths and other tragedies such as Waka getting an honorable end are averted in the fanfic. Which is why I'm gonna do what I do best when I prefer fanfic over the canon material... I'm gonna live in denial regarding the canon material.
