Message: [QUOTE="Sneedolphus, post: 325127, member: 140509"] Be sure to check out the Japanese version. It has dual audio and an English text option in game without any need for patches. This was the era when the western divisions of Capcom fiddled with the original Japanese game design (like they did with Chaos Legion, Devil May Cry 1 and 3 and others) and this game wasn't spared from it either. They bloated the enemy HP (the bosses are most obvious) and reduced the amount of red souls you get which made the game incredibly tedious and boring while the original JP version has quite a fast pace to it. I think that DoD is incredible. The playable characters are fully fleshed out unlike the basic characters that you got in 2 and even Jacques in 3, with all kinds of different combos and properties on their moves and there are hundreds of unique weapons with unique 3D models to collect. The graphics and the character designs are incredible and the music is as good as any other Onimusha game. The harder difficulties also serve as a nice challenge if you want to bother doing the 100 floors Dark Realm (per character). Another change is that the story resembles a 24 episode anime series instead of classic Chanbara movies (like 1 and 2) and an action sci-fi blockbuster like 3. It's really interesting for a replay now, as well, as it is a very unique action RPG game (unlike the other games in the series which don't lean heavily on RPG elements, so that is also a point of contention between fans). So if there are any new and older Onimusha fans that overlooked this game, please try the original JP version, you just might end up liking it. [/QUOTE]
