You think keeping Jin Sakai's character and story relevant for 20 years makes more sense?
They've basically taken Way of the Samurai and merged it with Tenchu. This franchise can live on forever.

Final Fantasy has a different story each time.
Apart from some cameos names they have nothing to do with each other or a reaccuring theme.
Ghost of osaka with another new character with the same origin story... gonna be interesting how they deal with it everytime
Sorry, but combat vet here. None of those 17.5% serve in combat, and on top of that, no woman has ever completed special forces qualification.
Going to be interesting to see how they deal with hundreds of years of Japanese history at their fingertips?
hell nah, sony is held to such a standard that even combat vets are agaisnt it
Sure you had the Templer and Desmond story but the games were 90% stand alone.
Well I was hoping for a ghost of sekigahara, A lone surviving retainer of a losing daimyo, i.e. A ronin, in the quest for revenge against Tokugawa and his shogunate ultimately failing and having a hero's death fighting against a horde of tokugawa retainers amongst falling plum/cherry blossoms.
Now that is absolute cinema and really channels the concept of wabi sabi

The two have little in common. FF isn’t based off the real world, and doesn’t take place in the same world over and over.
I’m not “against” it. I just think it feels forced. The thing about Samurai is that they weren’t female. None of them. So it very much feels like a “modern gamer” decision.
I have no problem with good female protagonists when they fit in the world and story being told. They don’t fit in a story about Samurai.
i think its too soon to go throwing around that she doesnt fit the world, its not like she is going to go around punching and kicking dudes with her bare hands, the trailer show her using weapons, you can be trained, sharp weapons can cut dudes down even if its a girl using it, same goes for the gun...
if anything feels like "modern gamer" is the unwillingness to wait and see, and understand that stories can be told even if they arent 100% realistic
All highborn female were samurai. Samurai was a social class. And all of them were trained in combat, using a naginata. And some even fought in battles, wearing full armor. During a certain point in Japan's history, during the Kamakura shogunate, women were treated as equal to men, meaning they would inherit their family name/clan.
Gotta say I'm a bit disappointed they're leaving Jin behind. The first one ended with a cliffhanger and the canon ending is Shimura being alive, so I was interested in seeing how their story wraps up. Sad to see it left in the air.
But if they're going for a new protagonist, at least it's not the same time period. I think the whole Ghost legend thing will work well here.
So I went and looked at the trailer on youtube. And to my surprise, it has a VERY positive reaction. With what happened with AC, I was expecting another shitstorm.
you guys have fun trying to discuss about this game around here, i'll be abstaining from engaging about this one from now on since the usual crowd is going to pull a "concord campaign" on it
That were hugely intertwined with each other until Origins. Brotherhood was a continuation and ending to Ezio and Altairs story. AC1-2 etc. Black Flag followed on from AC3.
It is what it is i guess
Yeah the last original game was Syndicate. After that they watered it down probably due to the Templars (Sweet Baby Inc, Blackrock, and other Illuminati companies) were upset. Made the goofy "hidden ones" and "The Order". Assassin's "Hash-shasheen" did exist and the game was truly following the real roots of the freemasons until it became too much to "some".
You guys are so embarrassing man. So many great things and possibilities to talk about but yes let’s fixate on the protagonist being a female.
Who cares, truthfully. It’s a video game.

Gaming discourse these days so tiring and repetitive. I can't believe everyone wanted Ghosts 2 to be announced and this is how we're reacting. Not even able to give Sucker Punch a studio that's never disappointed, the grace to prove y'all assumptions and overblown paranoia wrong
