Onimusha: Warlords (PS2) | Full Playthrough | Pt. 1/2

Welcome to Onimusha: Warlords for the PlayStation 2! This is part 1 of the series. This playthrough was 6 hours long. My first experience with Onimusha: Warlords was in 2020 with the remastered edition on Steam. I enjoyed the game and its short length, which I thought would add to its replay value. I don't think the game itself is too difficult, and I felt like most of the difficulty came from the clunky controls. Enter the PS2 version which only has the original "tank" control scheme and no analog movement, and the difficulty reached new highs for me. It didn't sour my experience too much but I definitely prefer the analog movement in the remaster. It seems I'm destined to never 100% this game. I had gone into the remastered version pressing the action button along every wall in every area, a tactic carried over from playing pre-rendered JRPGs from the PS1-era. I quickly discovered that "fluorite" was an invisible pickup (though there is an item that allows you see it) and actually managed to get all 20 pieces in my first playthrough. However, I missed one file in an area that is inaccessible after the demon tower rises. In this playthrough, I did the opposite and missed one piece of fluorite. It's unfortunate because I completely forgot about fluorite until I accidentally picked up a piece as Kaede. Overall, I still thoroughly enjoy this game. I look forward to completing everything this game has to offer and move on to its sequels! ---------------------- All gameplay footage was captured from PlayStation 3 hardware using Elgato's HD60 S+: https://www.elgato.com/en/gaming/game...
