The Final Boss Opinions? (Spoilers)

Yami's core has a small fish in it. WHo knew that fish were evil? Ok, enough of that. My Question is; why is Yami a giant machine ball? Couldn't it have been something a little more, I dont know, Threatening? Seriously! It could have been like a gient demon made of all of the former bosses. Like, it could have had 8 heads and nine tails. Or it could be a fiery demon like crimson helm. On the other hand, I won't complain since Okami is the best game I've ever played. Yami is still a challenge, no?

I thought it was the perfect final boss to be honest. After going through all those trials and conflicts you finally confront... a big black ball. Then in your bemusment you have you rear handed to you on a platter.
Never have I held so much respect for a sphere.

Honestly, I can say for a fact that Yami was one of my favourite Final bosses in any game I've played.

Why? Okami actually got you to use EVERY single brush technique bu one during that fight, it was long, epic, and Yami had no lack of creative attacks. Although the forms were rather uncreative, it made up for it with the length, music, resourceful gameplay, and motivation to beat the tar out of the jerk who stole your brush techniques.

And he looked beat up. Was he running into it?

Perhaps, maybe, I don't know, he was fighting it? Yami doesn't die easy, he could of hit Waka with the saw blades, hammers, and missiles that he has in his first form...Not too mention that concentrated light beam, that may be enough to hinder Waka after all...

I think Yami's forms are quite smart. Amaterasu reflects nature and she strives to restore it. While Yami reflecs technology and its stranglehold on nature. He drains life from the world to grow stronger, much like modernisation.
