Well, as you all should know, Shelko came over this past weekend (she left yesterday) and with her, she bought new things. We started taking about OKami, and on Tuesday she made me open a present, and in it was Okami! My own copy! So those days that she was here, we played it so much. And we kept on comparing it to TP. Cuz I heard that it's like a TP for the PS2. And so, we kept on doing things related to it.
Some things that I miss that are in TP but nwat in Oki::
- Items. You don't rally have items. Well, you do, but you just can't go around using them. Of course, ihn TP there's a couple billion items that you use only once, but still! They're items. But then again, WL didn't use tiems when he was transformed...
- The ability to battle when there's no one around. That's a biggie. In TP, you can go on and use your battle things when theres no battle. In Oki, you have thses motions that mean one thing in battles and one thing out of abttles. For example, the waggle. You waggle the Wiimote to sprint out of battle, while you attack with your Divine Instrument in battle. I hate that. In battle, "Z" means use your subweapon. Out of battle, its either bark, or perform an action (similar to "A"). It pisses me off.
- The fact that your sidekick doesn't really DO anything. I can't ask Issun to give me advice when I'm lost, and he doesn't perform any special actions. But then, I'm in the beginning of the game, I shouldn't be angry. But Midna is better. Her theme is way different (see below), a melancholy oboe or whatever while Issun's is all... Oocoo-like. Midna also gives you advice when you need it, and you can always ask her for it too. AND she performs an attack when yuou need it. For shadow beasts. Oh eyah. Here, all the battles are like Shadow Beast Battles.
- Ammy doesn't have a personality. This may be a little evil of me, since Oki is a third-persoin game, but rally! She doesn't have a personality! When something good happens, she just stands there. When there's a beast or something weird, she doesn't growl opr anyting. She just stands there. The only part where she was acting like somerthing real was when the bomber-dude made those explosives. She ran outside and pawed the air. Like a real dog. AND she falls asleep when someones taling to her. This may mean that she considers them her inferior, cuz she's a goddess and everythihng, and "origin of all that is good and mother to us all", as it says ingame. But I mean, Link has more personality than her! He gets mad when something bad happens, he smiles when something good happens. And he amkes those motions that the rest of us are making when something happens. The best example is Telma. In this cutscene, Telma (a bartender with HUGE boobs) gets close to Link and Link's eyes flash for a second.....there... and then he looks abck up to her. I'm telling ya, the rest of the people who played the game did to same thing. And another example is ojne early in teh game. When you meet Zelda for the first time, you don;t relaly know who this is, and so Link starts to growl. Hm. Suitable reastion.
- Humor. yes, at times TP is funy, but Oki has this... sublte humpr that gives it a little smile. Those charries, like the postman, the bomber-dude, even Sakuya, they're all so cute! They have this little crazy thing with them. But its good.
- You actually feel as if you did something when you get rid of those cursed zones in the land. You see everythihg blossoming, the people getting back into people, and they are no longer statues... the animals return, the red spots are gone.... life is back. But there's a problem with this. The people, because of their desighn, don't really show any emotions. When the monsters attack, it seems as if this has no impact on anybody, even though it says "this is cursed, its ruining life... ladadada..." when truely, I don't want to help them. Now, I want to help Coro when he's stuck in his house with those Shadow Insects in TP. He's deathly afraid of that. So when I see him, back at his usual place near the fire, selling oil in jars, I actually feel good when I se that his face looks both releived and scared. This feeling isn't in Oki.
- Yeah, but art. The graphics are amazing, but they bore your eyes after a while. But then, I ahvn't played the whole game. Maybe they get better.
And so, didn;'t I promise some vids of me and Alya?
I'm so sri, but we had a hugely packed schedule. It was paked, we bareky slept during the night. This was thje only biut I could record with her.
Alya loks so much better without the pony tail. I mean, seriosly. But yeah, she's one of my best friends. And yes, she's dresed and I'm in pajamas. I'm a baaaaaaaaaad girl. And we were just.. I don't remember what we were doing.
--------------------------------------------
but I'm also here to advertise!!! I may have told you guys about this Zelda ONline Radio I listen to these days....... Iz called WZMR: World Zelda Music Radio.
Here's a promo for it::
This amkes me feel so..... geeky. But I'm proud to be a WZMR listener. ^^ Yeah. I'm listening to it right now.
---------------------------------
And some Oki music::
Listen to the begining, and stop about..... 0:13. Then listen to THIS, from 3:19 all thw way to 3:22
Listen to it immediatly. One and then the other, and only those aprrts. They seem to be very sililar, eh?
they sound almost the same! But Okami ahs Japanese instruments while TP has either a trumpet or tons of violins, I'm not sure.
They're ya go.
but to be honsest, I'm siding with TP. The epic Midna thing and the Twilight and hte epicness of it is too much. I mean relaly.
And I'm currently sick, so .... yeah. Ta-chao
