crapface: where'd you get the picture its awexome!

Earnest: Google image search for Okami [1] has loads of good pics.

Solitaire: Okay, I'm pretty sure that 'Okami' is a single word.

Magus: I can't take the final boss seriously. I keep saying "You will never defeat me, Amaterasu, for I'm voiced by Dan Green!"

Haven: Anyone else think Issun was a Scrappy? Anyway, natternuke from under Urine Trouble.

• Anyone else notice that throughout the game, Amaterasu is constantly referred to as a female, yet Yellow Fury is used male style?
  • Eh, I've definitely seen female dogs lift a leg to pee. Don't know about wolves, though.
  • This troper worked for an animal shelter for a time, can can most certainly attest that female dogs lift their legs to pee. Often times on the troper.

Mizuru007: No idea what trope to should go under, but those STUPID CONCRETE BLOCKS need to be mentioned. Namely, the one that resides underground and has either seven or eight points to remember in order to destroy it. I still haven't been able to destroy it, and I've been trying since the game came out. Even went so far as to try putting dabs of lotion on the television screen and rushing back to try when the sequence was over. No, it didn't work, for whatever reason.

Earnest: If they actually fought you, it'd be That One Boss. Anyhoo, to beat the bastard, do the lotion thing (I used cellophane over the tv and marker) and videotape the sequence the dots appear in. It's 9 dots, and you have to not only put them in the exact location they appear in but in the same order. Unless you have eidetic memory or a really good mnemonic device, it's pretty much impossible.

• If you don't have a videocamera (cellphone cams are nice for this) give every dot on the grid a letter or number.

Sir Ilpalazzo: Removed this.

1. Unpleasable Fanbase: This troper saw a 200-reply thread in response to the news of the DS sequel. A good eighty percent was spent complaining that it wasn't developed by a company now out of business and wasn't on a console.

• To be fair, Clover started a new studio called Platinum Games, so Capcom could have easily asked them to develop it.
• ...Unless, of course, Platinum didn't want to.

I don't feel it's unreasonable to be worried about the quality of the sequel when the original staff has nothing to do with it and when the game is on a system that isn't going to be able to fully realize Okami's great graphical style, which was one of its biggest draws.
