Saiyuki: Journey West is a tactical role-playingvideo game released for the SonyPlayStation by Koei. It is based loosely on the Chinese novel Journey to the West. The game's Japanese title is simply Saiyūki (西遊記), which is the Japanese name of Journey to the West.

It follows the basic outline of the plot of the novel, in which the main character, a Buddhist practitioner named Sanzo, travels from China to India on a religious mission and has a variety of adventures along the way. The game also features several other characters from the novel, including Son Goku, the monkey king. In contrast to other renditions of the story, the game allows Sanzo to be played as either a male or a female character at the player's choice.

Mar 24, 2014  Monkey: Journey to the West is a story of an adventure for enlightenment to India in order to find ancient Buddhist scriptures. The story consists of Chinese legends, tales, and superstitions. Daoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism play a huge role throughout this story. Monkey: Journey to the West is a story that discusses religion, and moral issues.

A gameplay twist is that every character except Sanzo can transform into a monstrous form for a limited time. Instead of transforming, Sanzo has access to summon spells that each boost the party's stats in different ways for a number of rounds and allows him/her to use an extra spell at will. Furthermore, each character has a native element that powers their spells and weakens them to opposing elements.

The game softens the original story, with most of the heroes' negative characteristics removed, and most of the villains surviving at the end.

The game's plot are heavily based between Buddhism and Hinduism. Buddhism is the main religion in this game where Sanzo and his party member must save Buddha, while gods from Hinduism are the main antagonists.

Characters[edit]

Main characters[edit]

The characters below are listed in recruiting order, with six main characters and six optional characters. Excluding Sanzo, the main characters have six WereAttacks (optional characters have only three), typically matching their natural element. WereAttacks can be obtained during fights (except Dojo) by raising the Were Gauge level through acquiring EXP in Wereform.

• Sanzo - Portrays the righteous Buddhist monk, based on Tang Sanzang. His/her element is Wood. Although the player can choose either gender, the original Tang Sanzang is a male and thus is usually depicted in the game as male (in the game cover and in the opening). He/she has the ability to summon Guardians in battle, which are acquired throughout the story at various progress points.
• Son Goku - Portrays the rebellious Monkey King, Sun Wukong. His monster form is a giant fire-breathing ape, and his element is Fire, under the name of Great Ape. His starting abilities are Cloud (to extend the distance he can travel across the battlefield) and Firedart (firework-like attack hits single enemy). While in his Great Ape form his starter WereAttacks are Claw (whip which attacks 3 squares in front of him) and Boulder Bash (hits enemies in + squares), and followed with Howl (ultrasonic waves which can cause numb), Fire Dance (5 burning meteorites hit the enemies), Inferno (explosions around him). His strongest WereAttack is Were Clone (Great Ape creates numerous clones of him while creating lines of fire, and finally ended with huge amount of fire hit the enemies). This is the final WereAttack learned by leveling the WereGauge.
• Cho Hakkai - Portrays the lustful pig demon, Zhu Bajie, here rendered as childlike and food-obsessed, with an overall goal of becoming a great chef. His affiliation is Earth. He transforms into a monstrous humanoid boar, under the name of Raging Boar.

• Shu Ryorin - Haughty but kindhearted daughter of the King of the Eastern Dragons, on the run from her father and a forced marriage. She fights the party before joining, because she thought her father had sent them to capture her. Her monster form is a powerful flying dragon, under the name of Bronze Dragon, and she is consequently aligned with Metal. Based on Longnü. Her starting abilities are Double Pierce (attack 2 squares in front of her with her sword) and Ironskin (increases her defense). While in her Bronze Dragon form her starter WereAttacks are Dragon Bite (biting attack to a single enemy in front of her) and Tail Whip (tail attack which pummels enemies 3 line in front of her), followed by Wing Blade (small tornado which attacks enemies in small area), Wind Scales (metal scales which damages enemies around her), Slash Dive (air attack that shreds enemies with 3 charging lines). Her strongest ability is Electric Breath (Bronze Dragon summons heavy windstorm and thunders to destroy the enemies in large area around her).
• Sa Gojo - Portrays the man-eating sand demon, Sha Wujing, here an intellectual human cursed with a monstrous fishman alternate form, under the name of River Lord. He's ashamed of his monstrous nature, and at first rejects the party's help before Sanzo (and his/her refusal to see his/her friends as mere 'monsters') convinces him to join. His element is Water. His starting abilities are Water Blade (small icicles erupts from below hits single enemy), and WaterMeld (automatic healing when he is in water). While in his River Lord form his starting WereAttacks are Water Jet (collect bubbles of water to a single enemy which explodes in heavy pressured water) and Mist (calls forth winter wind which freezes into spiky icicles), followed by Dark Blade (biting attack which can attack single enemy, with the range of entire battlefield), Blind Mist (calls forth magical golden air which silences enemies in small area), Dark Hole (deep abyss which pulls enemies and destroy the enemies with slashed dark ball). His strongest WereAttack is MilkyWay (River Lord materializes stars in Milky Way, to befall upon enemies in a shape of giant waterfall, damaging enemies in large area).
• Lady Kikka - A dryad-like spirit who is found trapped in her tree. Her monster form is a giant humanoid butterfly, under the name of Butterfly Queen. Like Sanzo, her element is Wood. Lady Kikka is an original character, and is not based on any existing character from the original novel. Her starting abilities are Heartseeker (attacks single enemy with her bow and arrow and has a chance to charm the enemy), Heal (restores HP) and Cure (cures abnormal effects on allies). While in her Butterfly Queen form her starting WereAttacks are Briar (small tree attacks single enemy with its log) and Wing Fan (small whirlwind in small area), followed by Wind Charm (a dance which attack can charm the enemies), Life Wind (healing wind on the party members around her vicinity), Briar Patch (calls forth large thorn bushes which entraps and attacks the enemies which can cause numb). Her strongest WereAttack is Heaven's Garden (Butterfly Queen changes herself into small pink butterfly which sprouts pink flower gardens in circle, which pollen will heavily attack the enemies and has a high chance to charm the enemies).

The main six characters above are mandatory to recruit, covering all five elements. The characters below are optional characters who can be obtained through fulfilling optional objectives. The optional characters only have three WereAttacks in Wereform, and cannot learn anything further. However, their Wereforms can cover multiple elements, unlike the main characters.

• So Kinrei and So Ginrei - Twin girls accidentally transformed into monsters during the course of the story. Their monster forms are identical giant humanoid golems with oddly technological attacks (including missiles and lasers), with Kinrei turning into a yellow golem and Ginrei a blue golem. Their elements are Metal, and are among the few characters (along with Genshi) who don't take Wereforms as animals. Players can obtain the twins after the events at Plateau Mt. by returning to Kucha. They share a special duo attack which combines Kinrei and Ginrei's attack power. This only occurs if Kinrei faces an enemy, and Ginrei shoots at it; if Ginrei critical-hits, the double attack will critical, too. This does not work with Ginrei's HeartSeeker ability.
• Chin Genshi - Grandfather of Lady Kikka, and formal teacher of Cho Hakkai. He may or may not join the party, depending on Sanzo's actions. Like his granddaughter, his element is Wood, and he transforms into a tree-like form (who along with Kinrei and Ginrei is one of a few characters who doesn't change into an animal). Players will obtain him if Sanzo forbids Goku to take his Angel Fruit, and says that Goku and the others are considered as friends rather than just depending on them. His starter magic are Magic Sink (sap single enemy's MP), Heal, and Cure. He automatically restores his own MP by 10 every turn, which increases in amount restored as his weapon is sharpened.
• Reikan - Ryorin's fiancé, who is trying to get her back. Starts out as an enemy, and will only join the group if the Sanzo sides with him during their second encounter. His element is Water, and he transforms into a turtle demon. Players will get him if Sanzo chooses 'No' on both gender versions when the group confronts him for the first time (Ryorin tells a lie that Sanzo is her boyfriend if Sanzo is male, and asks Sanzo if Reikan is annoying if Sanzo is female). His starting abilities are IceBlades (similar to WaterBlade, but causes the Numb ailment), and WaterMeld, similar to Sa Gojo. Reikan's Wereform is Mad Turtle, and it focuses on Water-based moves, one of which restores HP directly to Mad Turtle.
• Taurus and Tessen - Portrays the Ox-Demon-King and Jade-Faced Princess from the novel. They start out seemingly as the main villains (though neither are really shown to be truly evil, just petty and bad-tempered), before plot developments cause them to reform and join Sanzo's side. Their monster forms are a minotaur-like bull demon and a humanoid scorpion respectively, and their elements are Earth and Fire. Players will get them if they complete both roads in Chapter 2 (North and South), and have all previous party members recruited. Taurus' starting abilities are Levitate (gives him levitation to cross difficult terrain, and can be used for EXP farming) and Meteor (stronger version of Rockdrop). Tessen's starting abilities are BlazeDart (explosion on single enemy) and FireFan (flame tornado with large range). Taurus' WereForm is King Bull, and focuses on a mixture of Earth and Fire abilities. Tessen's Wereform is Scorpia, focusing on Water and Fire abilities which can also cause Poison.

• Saiyuki: Journey West at MobyGames

Monkey: Journey to the West is a stage adaptation of the novel Journey to the West by Wu Cheng'en. It was conceived and created by the Chinese actor and director Chen Shi-Zheng along with British musician Damon Albarn and British artist Jamie Hewlett.

Development[edit]

In 2004, Chinese opera director Chen Shi-Zheng approached Jean-Luc Choplin of the Théâtre du Châtelet, Paris, about staging an opera based on Wu Cheng'en's 16th-century novel Journey to the West. Chen had worked with the writer David Greenspan on an outline dramaturgy, but had not identified a composer for the project. Choplin spoke about the proposal to Alex Poots, director of the Manchester International Festival, who suggested a number of composers he had worked with, as well as the British musician Damon Albarn.^[1]:17

Gorillaz, comprising Albarn and artist Jamie Hewlett, were around this time involved with the Manchester International Festival in planning a residency under the auspices of the festival at the Manchester Opera House.^[2] Albarn was interested in the idea of writing an opera for the festival, and so he and Hewlett met with Poots and Choplin to discuss a collaboration with Chen. Albarn and Hewlett then travelled to China to meet with Chen.^[3] Chen took them into the Chinese countryside, where they took photographs and field recordings of folk musicians as a basis from which to develop musical and visual ideas for the production. Albarn and Hewlett returned to the UK and worked separately on its musical and visual aspects.^[4] Chen undertook casting auditions in Beijing, assisted at first by Hewlett and David Coulter, who was to be a musical advisor to the project.^[5]

Cast rehearsals took place in Paris, where the costumes and set designed by Hewlett were being produced, and then in Manchester.^[6]

Musicians[edit]

Albarn and Coulter assembled a 25-member orchestra featuring traditional Western and Chinese instruments, as well as musical saw, ondes Martenot, glass harmonica and a klaxophone, which features car-horns attached to a musical keyboard, which was purpose-built for the production by artist Gavin Turk.^[1]:65 Strings were performed by a string section assembled for Gorillaz live performances.^[7] Albarn devised a system for the score based on the Chinese red star.^[8] The orchestra was joined by an eight-piece choir provided by Liverpool-based Sense of Sound.^[9]

Performances[edit]

The production received its world premiere as the opening show of the inaugural Manchester International Festival, on 28 June 2007 at the Palace Theatre, Manchester, where it ran until 7 July. The Festival also ran a programme of educational workshops in local schools, in partnership with Manchester's Chinese Arts Centre. In the programme, local children were introduced to the tale of Journey to the West, and learnt about various aspects of Chinese culture, music and dance, including mask-making, puppet-making, T'ai chi and Kung Fu.

It was subsequently staged at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris between 26 September – 13 October 2007 and at the Spoleto Festival USA in Charleston, SC in May 2008. A further run was planned for the Berlin Staatsoper in July 2008, but instead took place at the LondonRoyal Opera House. The show also ran at the O2 arena in London, ending on 4 January 2009.

A residency for the show in China during 2009 was considered.^[10]

Monkey: Journey to the West opened the 2013 Lincoln Center Festival in July.^[11]

Soundtrack[edit]

A CD based on the opera was released in August 2008. Because Albarn felt that stage performances 'always sound false on record', he decided to revisit his original ideas for the music and create new arrangements of the key songs from the opera.^[10] The album entered the UK Albums Chart at number five and the UK indie chart at number one.^[12]The track Monkey Bee entered the UK Singles Chart based on downloads alone at number 196.^[13]

Hewlett and Albarn included characters from Monkey: Journey to the West in an animation sequence titled 'Journey to the East', used by the BBC as a trailer and the title sequence for their coverage of the 2008 Summer Olympics, held in Beijing.^[14] They regarded criticism of their cultural engagement with the event as hypocritical, whilst acknowledging human rights issues in China.
