You bastard. You got me to read Paul Tassi. May Cliff Barnes swindle you.
The period needed to change as weapon wise there is no new bag of toys for the Ghost to play with. The Jin sequel would be the same game with a different story and the same location. It would be unlikely for Jin to leave Tsushima for the mainland if he is their protector. The Mongols return or the Shogun are the only options to fight.
I dunno. Jin would fight because his country is getting invaded by a larger force
And the samurai and clan won’t just drop a ronin running around lol.
Yeah I understand another time period, makes sense. Over Sengoku and post is a better time period for Japan. But Im left flat after all this anyway
Typical Forbes contributor... HahaHe just copied the PS Blog text I posted to you early and made an article?
@All Might
All highborn women were samurai. Samurai was a social class. They were all trained in the use of weapons and some even fought in battles, wearing full armor. This was recorded in Japanese history. Kamakura shogunate was an especially important time for women, as they were equal to men and could inherit land over male descendants.
Bushi would be the warrior class withing the samurai social structure and some women were that.
True, it's an element people are really overlooking. People need to be surprised and kept on their toes... The jump forward in eras, allows them to bring in a lot of different elements and even building styles to allow new stealth methods etc.You bastard. You got me to read Paul Tassi.

Let's address the elephant in the room: What about the hot springs?
What a loaded question... I don't know if there can be any right answer to how they deal with it.
Uh, does she look like a samurai? She is dressed in the games traveler outfit. Brandishing katanas doesn't make you a samurai.
During the time the game takes place, only samurai were allowed to wear a katana. Everyone else was forbidden to do so. Or any other weapon, for that matter.
But the ronin in the trailer tells Atsu that yotei is the edge of Japan, that people come to disappear. Wich means Yotei doesn't follow the laws of Japan and she can carry katanas
True. I'm just saying that the ban on weapons was a part of history. I dislike shoehorning DEI crap in every game as much as anyone else, but I'll reserve my judgment until the game comes out.
They spent all that time and effort creating Jin and his Ghost attire, it doesn’t really make sense to go this way.
Being stuck with origin stories that have no time to develop the main character just sounds like a stupid idea but I guess this is what the marketing people thought would hit.

I agree. I honestly would have been upset of she was in full gold plated armour, like yasuke in ac, but she is probably a bandit like everyone else in Yotei. Yuna was using a katana in ghost 1 and she was a thief. Didn't see a problem with it.
I mean, yes they were banned, but we'd be fools to think that regular people out there didn't have them and even flaunted them occasionally. Just think of all the illegal stuff people do today in public in the US where the the level of monitoring and surveillance technology is many magnitudes greater than in Feudal Japan. All that to say, not it's not too farfetched to think that there were probably drifter nomads and mercenaries during that time who ignored the rules around katanas.
Bandits existed, yes. Most would be using cheap weapons. Even farmers sometimes had weapons hidden, though most of those were modified farming tools. But only samurai were allowed to openly carry arms.
And it wasn't always like that. When Toyotomi Hideyoshi took over Japan, he banned commoners from wearing any weapons and made it mandatory for samurai to do so. It was a means of control, to stop the common folk from uprising. Again, people sometimes still hid weapons and even disguised them as farm tools.
Before Hideyoshi took charge, everyone who could afford weapons was allowed to carry them. Much like Europe in the Middle Ages.
And then swords were outright banned for everyone during the Meiji Restoration. At that time Japan was getting modernized and westernized so they wanted to prevent people from killing foreigners in the streets, as there was a lot of hostility towards them.
Well looking at the 4k shots the game does look spectacularly beautiful, For the people buying it you guys are in for a treat visually at least. The Mt. Yotei one is a proper money shot
