did you guys manage to get all the fossilized bones in oni 2? i tried getting all the good stuff

[Summoner]

I have no idea what they even are xD

[Umon Daisuke]

Birlew's crappy guide (which didn't even mention the variations of the issen system) noted that it's random. However there is a calculated way of getting them... I'll just say that you can only get them from the male characters.

The prize is worth it.

[Rombie]

I'll agree on Oni 2 as well. Just a really well balanced title.

3 has some really good aspects, but it drags a lot and the whole getting Jean Reno but not getting him to do the English voice, just French and Japanese for Japan (the guy can frickin speak English aside from these languages) was dissapointing too.

[SinValentine]

yea the prize is worth it for oni 2 i didn't save the sick guy's dad that wanted melon i thought he wanted watermelon but it was a wrong type of melon... anyway i forget this guy's name but he had horrible voice acting, his chest was like a rib cage and in one of the onimusha's he kept screaming "GO MARCELLUS" his voice is really weird

another thing i remember is it was easy to get the strong sword from the dark realm, anybody else found that easy too? oni 2 was easier than oni 1 in my opinion

[Summoner]

In the phantom realm? I had a tiny amount of trouble with it, but nothing that put me under too much stress.

[SinValentine]

i don't like the creepy little mutant guy that falls down "so you want to go to the dark realm? it's possible to attain strong weapons there!" then he goes OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AAAHHHHHHHHH

[Summoner]

...That's on Oni 3. xD

[SinValentine]

no! he was on oni 1 and oni 2 i remember

[Summoner]

:S I don't actually. I only remember him in 3.

[The Dude]

He's also the Merchant you can purchase items from in Dawn of Dreams (Oni 4) when you're at base camp.

[SinValentine]

dude right that guy is in onimusha 1, 2 and 3 not just 3

[The Dude]

Thats Correct.

[SinValentine]

he said i'm right, truly it's an honor but seriously back on topic they aren't making any more onimusha's right? it's done the series isn't it?

[The Dude]

Technically no.
Theres still room for a sequel following Dawn of Dreams.


Onimusha 3 Spoiler:

show spoiler

Concludes the Nobounaga trilogy and opens up the Dawn of Dreams where Hideyoshi Toyotomi begins conquering Japan

.
Where as Dawn of Dreams was meant to spark a new franchaise with more action/based elements to the franchaise, I don't know how sales went for the game, but I heard they were pretty Dismal in Europe.
With any luck they pluck up the courage to make another game, it was good, although after;

Soki disappeared in the ending, the next game would probably follow Jubei Akane and to be honest she sucked
