message: When it comes to the comparison of the wii sales and ps2 sales it mentions from march 2007 okamis total sales on ps2 where 270k, and it says from july 2008 okami wii sales were 280k.  Now it says they both were on par in the same time frame but judging the dates these sales were measured and the release date of the games that's clearly not true and the article mentioned doesnt state aything on this time frame so who ever put it in has done so without any reference.  Is it ok if I remove it?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.170.237.182 (talk) 19:00, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

message: what is the story line ? if you think about it , it is actullay about those gods who are trying to bring back the color of the world.
But, until now there are no further info about all this , what we know is so littele , wich makes us think , maybe the game does not offer to much ? ..........
:I actually know absolutely nothing about the storyline, but based on the OST, the main villian is a "Lord of Eternal Darkness", while one of the ending themes is "Okami White Light Majesty"..color makes sense then, since black is the absence of color and white is all the colors in the spectrum.—ウルタプ 22:04, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Isn't Amaterasu a reincarnation of Shiranui, not the god/dess him/herself?
It states in the game that OKami is the reborn Shiranui, but the godess gave the last of her strength to him =/
*She's both. <_<
*Amateratsu was Shiranui, and is. Before the game, she was the original wolf whom the villagers named Shiranui. She is brought back by means of Sakuya, a Wood nymph, who uses the last of her power to bring Amateratsu back into the physical world.
*the white wolf did not choose the target of the sacrifice as stated, it patrolled the village at night and its motives were unknown.
At the end of the game, it's revealed that Amaterasu, on Waka's advice, came to earth in the form of a white wolf to hunt the Orochi and wait for Nagi to be born.  The villagers assumed that the albino wolf prowling their village was another monster, assumed it was male, and named it Shiranui.  After Amaterasu/Shiranui died fighting Orochi, she was revived a century later by Sakuya in a weakened form.  75.157.120.15 (talk) 08:04, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

message: I don't find the recent change of the Trivia section necessary. There are numerous parodies, cameos, and tie ins to numerous games.

replies: text: Maybe, but on the other hand, trivia sections should be used sparingly.

message: I added two tables for the vary brush techniques (the 13 Celestial ones, and the others that you use otherwise).  I know there's more information that can be added which I don't have access to presently; for the 13 techniques, I think the name of the god that gave them to Ammy, the name of the technique, the kanji used (which is listed in the manual), and maybe an example picture for each.  Similar ideas for the second table, though as these aren't part of the Celestial Techiques, they won't have the same stuff (like the god granting it to Ammy).  Masem 16:06, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Celestial Techniques are brush techniques from the 15 brush gods. So the Sun and Moon technique belong in this category. Amaterasu is one of the brush gods. Nobody gave her the Sun technique because this is her own unique ability as a brush god. The brush god Yumigami gave Ammy the Moon technique to use. My source: the official strategy guide from Brady games. Rumpelstiltzkin 01:14, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: 15 seems off - I can't find a good list of which constellations that you unlock and what they give you, however, I am pretty sure that the animals that represent the gods number 13 - the Chinese Zodiac with the addition of the cat (yeah, too much Fruits Basket for me).  Plus I distinctly remember Issun saying that there were 13 Celestial Techniques that he's after.  The manual lists 12 gods in the back (p37).    I also popped the game back in at a late save, and the information on says that, for example, the Sunrise stroke is a "Celestial Brush power".  In other words, I think there is a distinction between god-granted techniques aka the Celestial Techniques, and those that you can do with the brush, and some of the helper ones you learn. Masem 02:47, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Aaaaannd never mind, I see where it is.  The 3 greenery ones would be grouped as one overall technique (with three methods of invocation) as to keep the number 13 in mind.  I believe I've ID'd all the zodiac animals correctly, the only two I can't tell without going back and playing the game would be Cresent and Blizzard, which, after Iding the rest, is between rabbit and boar, and I'm pretty sure the boar was last.

text: Not to be a nag, but is a complete table even necessary to begin with?  Wikipedia is not a videogame guide.  While this certainly isn't on the level of, say, describing a game's particular controller button mappings, it strikes me as pretty indiscriminate.  --Stratadrake 12:45, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've seen other game pages on wiki that have a basic list and description of the powers/abilities, etc. (Pyschonauts, for example).  Also, there are ways to link up some of the mythology aspects with other articles on Wikipedia, similar to what I suggested about minor characters above - eg these have a story and/or reason, and here's what it is.   But I don't believe we need anything more beyond this in terms of game play detail.  But that's partially the reason I made this block it's own section - if it's decided it's too much for Wiki, it can be cut and pasted elsewhere without too much work. Masem 13:17, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I see -- though I don't totally agree on the subject of listing everything.  For comparison, do we really need a list of all the bosses, or can we trim it down to the really significant ones and integrate them with the article's context?  --Stratadrake 12:37, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think looking at the Windwaker article (since the size and scope of the two games are similar) for ideas where to take Okami's entry is worthwhile.  The WW article (which I note is FA-rated) has two sub pages for weapons/items and for characters.  Obviously, with the minimal amount of time this game's been out compared to WW, we're still a good ways away from having full lists.   (Plus I don't think there's as many Okami fanatics yet as there are Zelda ones to keep playing and dig up all the names and the like).  We could make these sub pages now, one for characters, one for items and powers, but they'd be rather sparse, but this would allow for expansion beyond what would be there for cluttering up the main Okami page.  As the lists are presently, I think they're pretty good, nowhere near exhaustive, but give a start for someone looking into Okami's mythology references.Masem 15:27, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Also it says there is no singular antagonist in the game. At the end of the game wasn't it revealed that every monster in the game, including Orochi and Ninetails, was under the control of Yami who was the Ruler of Darkness and thus the game's main villain? --24.46.117.40 (talk) 13:38, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The manual of the game specifically talks about the lack of gender they give to Amaterasu - yes, there is some gender-specific language in the text but it works both ways.  The fact that you don't learn about Yami until the very very end really means he's not the game's main villain, unlike, say, Ganondorf or Bowser who are talked about, and even fought several times, in those games. --MASEM (t) 14:01, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually you don't meet Yami until the very end, you learn about him midway through the game. That being said he still is the main villain, that would just bar him from being the main antagonist (there's a difference).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.46.117.40 (talk) 14:38, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Even then, by most definitions, Yami's still not the main boss since you only fight him once, while you fight Orochi at least 3 times.  Basically, the "boss" structure in this game is very non-standard, and in a section that is simply trying to identify the repeating characters in the game, its the best that can be done. --MASEM (t) 15:12, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

text: I've read (but cannot confirm) that the English EU manual doesn't have this statement, which is why the "US" (well, it should be North America) clarification is required.  Also, as several boards have pointed out, the "golden fury" move would imply Ammy as male.  Yes, the character is likely written towards female 90% of the time, but there's enough official throwouts that we can't outright say that. --MASEM (t) 15:49, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  The "Golden Fury" attack does throw a wrench in the male vs female arguement, but I've seen female dogs lift their legs to urinate, so...  75.157.120.15 (talk) 08:12, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Two Problems In The Character Section 

message: Amaterasu appears in the Marvel vs. Capcom 3 game as a Capcom character, using her Celestial Brush techniques and weapons from the game.  It would appear that Issun, as in Ōkami, acts as the dialogue proxy and comic relief by taunting the opponents during Ammy's attacks.  The info's from Ammy's official trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6R3FKWEFD4&feature=channel, for those of you who wish to verify this. 75.157.120.15 (talk) 08:20, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Already noted in "Legacy" (though that's completely speculation on Issun, it is difficult to tell where the voice originates) --MASEM (t) 12:47, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  True on the speculation part, but he does appear in the opening animation bouncing on her nose, and comparing the voice in MvC3 to Okami, they're the same (only one's in English and the other's not). 75.157.120.15 (talk) 18:15, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ammy's in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 

message: I know that people have been trying to add this, but I want to be clear: the Okami cover has clearly been seen several times in South Park (any scene with the game store, so it goes far back several seasons).  But, and this is important, there is no direct reference to the cover or the game of any sort - it is a background prop.  Thus, it is a trivial inclusion to the article, unless there is a reliable source that notes this occurrence for us.  This has to be more than just a forum or blog post or a screenshot. And I've looked for them and haven't found any myself because I would like it added to the article. --MASEM (t) 16:37, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  South Park reference 

message: I tried adding the article into :Category:New game plus video games, but after editing it the category doesn't show. Any explanation on this, please?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.8.218.39 (talk) 05:40, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The category was added normally, I think. I can see Ōkami in that category. --도약 (talk)  '하늘 높이 도약하라 (Jump into the sky)' 08:40, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Huh? 

message: In a certain cutscene of Okamiden where Chibiterasu (Son of Amaterasu, and Ammy is revealed to be female) meets Shiranui (Revealed to be male), it is revealed that Ammy and Shiranui weren't one and same, and that Shiranui is Ammy's FATHER. How that was cleared up? Isshaku (Shiranui's faithful companion) says: "What?! He is your Grandson?!" and gets as surprised as every gamer.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.4.17.4 (talk) 18:36, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: So, this Article says that the title Ōkami is 大神 in Japanese which certainly makes sense because Amaterasu is the name both of the wolf and of a prominent deity in Shinto.
But the title seems to be a play on words since the word ōkami could mean either “Great Spirit” as in this Article or “Wolf” (see 狼)—both of which are accurate descriptions. This seems to be corroborated by a statement in the Japanese version of this Article: 「タイトルの『大神』には、主人公が「天照大神」であることと、『狼』であることの二つの意味がこめられている。」 OzzyMuffin238 (talk) 02:21, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
