Okami Posting again

Hey so guess who defeated Orochi and is sobbing, hard, because ???? A lot of reasons. So many reasons. I know there's still some story left to cover, but....here goes some Thoughts, lads.

This is the only moment in my life I will ever experience this game for the first time? I mean, I'm sure I'll play it a hundred times over, and that I'll never stop enjoying it, it's such a good game, but it's dawned on me that I will never really feel this same satisfaction, I'll never again feel this sense of completion in this game ever again because, I'll have done it before. Sure, maybe I won't struggle as much figuring things out, but figuring it out, making mistakes, the struggle is what really makes it so amazing the first time playing a game, any game really, but especially games like Okami. It's a little hard to explain how big of a sense of accomplishment I feel when I solve an issue, when I defeat an enemy, when I complete a task, in this game. Honestly, it's pretty indescribable.

Also, just...when Kushi is saved, at first Susano is serious, he's depressing, it's sad. And Kushi, Kushi really just...she makes him happy. And their relationship is sweet, if silly at times. It just makes me really happy, and maybe it's the lack of sleep and the fact I'm hyped up on soda, but it honestly just fills me with pure joy, and it has throughout the game, but in that moment, in that pure, romantic, sweet moment? Pure utter joy, a sense of wanting to see them grow even further in their relationship. Even though there's not always enough of a view of the two together throughout the game, there's always a feeling you get when you speak to them, that maybe they belong. I don't know it's just a feeling I get.

The end dialogue? The "this isn't the end, only the beginning" piece? Hey that hit me in the feels, hard. Dunno how to really explain why it hit me so gosh darn hard, so I'll just leave you with that.

And, also, I know it sounds cheesy as hell, but this game is really just so amazing, it's so beautiful, everything about it from the art style to the story, from the characters to the individual lines of dialogue. I love this game so much, and I don't think I will ever stop loving it.

This is getting long, so:

TL;DR it's 3:00 A.M and I'm breaking down crying because of how much I love Okami.
