Muramasa Rebirth looks amazing, just the kind of thing I'd love to get into. Thanks for bringing my attention to that :3

You have some excellent points. Somehow it had slipped my mind exactly how old Okami is. 10+ years with no major sequels to carry it's legacy? Yeah, Flitter, half your answer right there... 

Now keeping in mind I like to follow a lead rather than make my own RPs, I did briefly consider what I would do if I made it myself. Just the thought of how much work it would take to make a good RP based on that world and not a half-assed copy... staggering. Not to mention if it were me as the GM I would demand of myself no less than a damn good story, and at least a rudimentary system. Balance, too, would be an issue with players likely to be interested in playing humans, demons, demi-gods, half-breeds, etc. Finding a way to balance the difference between a nice fellow with a sword and a child of Susanoo with a bad temper? I don't think I personally have that much free time or talent. 

But the point was the question and your answer was very helpful, thank you. It's good to hear all that from a fellow fan of the game, too. Okami has a special place in my heart, right next to Legend of Zelda. Just don't tell Zelda I said that, OK?
