Shin Onimusha Dawn of Dreams (aka Onimusha 4)

Nice, I also got Roberto and Tenkai's finals, took me about 5 hours total (about 2.5 hours for each). Haha, but that's cause I went through the levels with my brother.

Still gotta work on the others though, can't wait till my finals are done, so I can get back into gaming!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Phew, got all their final weapons. Pretty much got every single weapon, accessory and item now, just missing 3 of Soki's weapons which are rare drops. Haha, they're all at MAX level now too. I think it's time to play hard mode now. Also got gold on all Test of Valors, which helped unlock the Special 2 costumes (which I think are the best of the 3 available).

Also to update on the Shin Onimusha manga, I can confirm that it is being translated by UDON. Stopped by their booth at the comic con today, they had rough print edition for preview (story is a prequel to the game, and it's looking pretty good). The project manager for UDON, Jim Zubkavich, told me that volume 1 should be hitting stores in 3 weeks (currently being printed). They're also translating volume 2, Twilight of Desire, and that's due out before the end of 2006 (or so the bookmark thing said).

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Not sure exactly where, I'm guessing anywhere that sells manga. I normally get mine from my local comic shops, so try somewhere like that. Oh and just checked Diamond Comics' site, the manga should be in shops on Wednesday (May 24). You could try book stores though, as I've seen a lot of them carry manga.

Spoiler:

It was mentioned shortly after he found out that Ohatsu nursed him back to health. If I remembered correctly you had to chat with him shortly after he regained consciousness to find out.

I'm calling it now, Munenori is still alive. His death was far too ambiguous. Plus getting tossed off a cliff is like the universal way to kill someone, yet not.

Spoiler:

Actually I'm sure most of us assumed as much, as soon as Jubei mentioned that someone was still alive (and that she hadn't returned to the Yagyu village). What I hated was how Munenori just wouldn't die, lol, it's rather annoying. Heh, especially after seeing him again with Fortinbras in hand, I was like "WTF? Doesn't this guy die?" Seeing him tossed off the roof like that, well, pretty hard to believe he died of that, especially since he didn't die by Jubei's blade.

I was actually rather surprised that Capcom didn't announce another Onimusha at E3, or much less anymore info about DMC4 and RE5.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Soundtrack finally came in.

Also recently finished reading the manga (which was released a few weeks ago). Really good BTW. I highly suggest reading it, as it does give some great back story. They mentioned stuff like what exactly the Genma trees are, why Soki has a strong grudge against Hideyoshi (and how he got the name "Kaijin no Souki" aka "Oni of the Ash"), as well as a deep backstory on Jubei (how she got the title, and why she's so determined on killing Munenori). And of course further hinting of Tenkai being Samanosuke. Anyway I won't spoil the story, but definitely pick it up if you're aching for more story.

Oh, and according to the manga the second volume "Night of Genesis" should be out this fall.



I was speaking idiomatically.

Nope it isn't same OST that gamemp3's released. This one is full OST (as far as I can tell anyway, totalling 69 tracks), 3 disc set that comes with a UMD (unfortunately region 2 only, may import a JPNS PSP now). However, I've been informed by Godai that they plan to release this one by tomorrow. So everyone will be able to get their hands on a digital copy!

And yup, that's the english version of the manga, translated by UDON (the guys that did/are-doing the Street Fighter comics).

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Not sure. I do know that the 3rd disc sounds like it's filled with all the cut scene music. Some of the tracks are even combined together (like the Intro movie tracks). So technically there's more than 9 other tracks. Oh and the last track on the 2nd disc sounds like it was something they composed specifically for the OST, as I've never heard in the game. Here's YSI link to it for your listening pleasures, not sure on the tag though (that's what I could make out from the katakana, and Hideyuki Fukasawa as being composer is what I assumed, it could very well have been Jamie Christopherson).

Yea the first OST was ok, but the book itself was well worth it. As for the UMD, it looks like just a bunch of cut scenes (though, pretty sure it's more than that). Won't actually know till I decide to import a Japanese PSP. According to CDJapan though, the UMD supposedly has 120 minutes of video made using the same graphics that were used for the game.

Well for those flying enemies, just use lv2/3 Light magic and lock onto em. Or you could try getting a friend to go through DR with you, as they play as Ohatsu or Tenkai (these two are probably the best when it comes to air bourne monsters).

FELIPE NO

Nope, it's translated by UDON, probably best known for their Street Fighter comic series (which is outstanding). They did a pretty good job though, I definitely suggest picking it up. Can't wait till volume 2, "Twilight of Desire."

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

If I remembered correctly, I read somewhere that it supposedly contains some sort of drama/scene using the game's engine. Won't be able to find what's exactly on it till I can afford to import a JPNS PSP (unfortunately region locked).
