♦ Rules ♦

1. Stay Civil

This is a place for friendly discussion, memes, guides, art, gameplay questions, screenshots and the like. Discrimination and harrassment won't be tolerated.

2. Offtopic Posts

Anything not related to Ōkami, like politics, real-world news etc. is better suited elsewhere and will be removed. The same goes for NSFW material.

3. Don't argue about religion

Ōkami is a game with religious elements that might rub people the wrong way, but please keep in mind that it is just a game and the sometimes goofy depictions of Shinto gods should not be taken too seriously.

4. No Advertisements

It is okay to post about merchandise, but links to those "design your own merch" sites will be removed, as those are almost always scams featuring stolen art. Affliate links will be removed as well. This isn't Etsy.

5. Provide Sources

If you're going to post art, comics, guides, screenshots etc. that are not your own OC, please mention the name of the original creator and ideally also a link to their portfolio/website. (Pinterest is almost never the original source)

6. Suggestions are Welcome!

Feedback, requests for improvements and constructive criticism are always appreciated ;)

Ōkami was originally planned to have a "realistic" art style (i.ytimg.com)

Personally, I'm happy they went with the stylized version, especially since it also fits the whole "drawing on the screen with a celestrial brush" gameplay gimmick a whole lot better if the entire world already looks like an ink drawing in the first place.

You can still unlock a bunch of "Karmic Transformers" after your first playthrough, one of which can turn Ammy into a "realistic" version of herself ....

... but frankly, it looks horribly out of place, since the rest of the world does not transform along with her.

Every time I replay this game, I am absolutely determined to unlock all extras, only to then not use any of them anyway as the game is already a masterpiece as it is ♥
