Ōkami/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 16:

* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]: Issun's {{spoiler|speech at the end of the game.}}

* [[Designated Villain]]: Tobi's [[Boss Subtitles]] call him an "Evil Being". He never does anything evil. Ever. In fact, he's very polite.

* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: Ninetails has quite a fan-base, and a lot of people like him because of his [[Chessmaster]] characterization, the fact that he is a Kitsune, and the fact that he is [[Evil Is Cool|SO ~~BLOODY~~ ~~COOL!~~]]

* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: Ninetails has quite a fan-base, and a lot of people like him because of his [[Chessmaster]] characterization, the fact that he is a Kitsune, and the fact that he is [[Evil Is Cool|a very cool villain.]]

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Oki, for being a [[Badass]], ''and'' a [[Big Badass Wolf]]. Tobi is probably the most popular ''piece of paper'' you'll ever find.

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Oki, for being a [[Badass]], ''and'' a [[Big Badass Wolf]]. Tobi is probably the most popular ''piece of paper'' you'll ever find. Susano gets this too due to his character development through the first third of the game.

** Among the bosses, Lechku and Nechku get this for their unique design (Clockwork owls, anyone?), bizarre yet

* [[Evil Is Sexy]]: {{spoiler|Rao... ~~sort~~ of.}}

* [[Evil Is Sexy]]: {{spoiler|Rao... or at least Ninetails pretending to be Rao.}}

* [[Fan-Preferred Couple]]: People really like pairing Kai up with Oki.

* [[Game Breaker]]: Vengeance Slips render Amaterasu invulnerable to any combat damage, and they last a while too. Add this to that you can buy them at a price that's oddly low by the end of the game and you can hold 99 of them, and nothing can touch you.

Line 30:

** As noted under [[Punny Name]], Ōkami can also mean "great god," rendering it as "Great god Amaterasu."

* [[Les Yay]]: Sakuya showers Ammy with hearts and praise, and Ammy starts panting heavily when she sees Sakuya's [[Stripperific]] powered up form.

** She's also quite fascinated by Rao's cleavage whenever she's asking for the Fox Rods.

* [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships]]: Ammy is paired up far more than a non-talking wolf should be... Waka is at least a legit exception since he was with Ammy when she walked the earth as a god.

* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Ninetails.

Line 37:

Line 39:

The boss is... delighted! }}

* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: {{spoiler|Ninetails crosses it}} long before we ever meet him, but we don't find out until {{spoiler|he murders Queen Himiko}} that he {{spoiler|also killed Rao, assumed her form, and was trying to get Amaterasu killed the whole time.}}

** {{spoiler|Yami also crossed this long ago as well when he slaughtered all the Celestials, pretty much driving them to extinction.}}

* [[Most Wonderful Sound]]: The little chord of the Celestial Brush can be very comforting, especially in stressful areas.

* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Oh God, the Water Dragon, the damn haunted ship, too.

Line 59:

Line 62:

** Even Tobi gets one when he dies, despite literally being a scrap of paper. At least you have something to blow your nose on.

* [[That One Boss]]: Okikurumi, despite not even being an enemy, let alone an important boss, is surprisingly hard the first time you fight him. Especially when he starts using his ice clones. Even more surpriing since you meet him not long after defeating Kyūbi and make your first steps in the northern region. Talk about a welcome!

** Blight as well, his attacks are quick and hard hitting, and his weakness isn't readily apparent at first. If you haven't gotten the hang of your time-stopping powers yet, he puts up one hell of a fight.

* [[That One Sidequest]]: Blockhead Grande & Black Devil Gates.

** A common (and easy, if semi-cheaterish) strategy for Blockheads is to film the screen with a camera or phone, then play it back as you use the Celestial Brush.

Line 74:

* [[Visual Effects of Awesome]]: Any time you revive a Guardian Sapling, it releases a flurry of foliage, and everything [[The Corruption]] has tainted springs alive again, capping it off with a [[Scenery Porn|wide shot of the purified area]]. It's quite a sight to behold, be it on [[PS 2]] or Wii.

* [[Wide Open Sandbox]]/[[Metroidvania]]: With the inconceivable number of sidequests and secret items, the enormous size of the map and the freedom of movement, the only thing that stands between the game and a [[Wide Open Sandbox]] is the fact that the main plot is just as huge and that you have to unlock access to most areas with power-ups first. But it's quite too big to be a mere [[Metroidvania]]. So it would be somewhere between these two…

* [[The Woobie]]: Waka~~, arguably~~, once you learn his backstory.

* [[The Woobie]]: Waka, once you learn his backstory.

* [[You Fail Religious Studies Forever]]: Mythical!Amaterasu was associated with ravens, not wolves.

* [[You Fail Biology Forever]]: The sun will make mushrooms grow to [[Fungus Humongous|an enormous size]].
