In the scene where Yasuke meets Nobunaga, the tatami mat is the wrong shape and the other samurai are sitting in the wrong way. There are also other strange things in the layout and furnishings. Cherry blossoms bloom in spring. Rice planting is in early summer. Persimmons are in autumn. Torii gates are at the entrance to shrines, not at the entrance to villages. Japanese umbrellas were not sold in this era. Armor was not worn when not at war. Even townspeople would not bow to a samurai walking normally around town. Samurai, who respected honor and etiquette, did not fight with iron clubs; those who fight with iron clubs were demons or barbarians. Beheadings are only done on the battlefield or at the execution grounds. They are not done in the city, and it is not a common practice. Yasuke was a bodyguard and baggage carrier for Nobunaga, and was not a samurai. The only equipment Yasuke received from Nobunaga was a short sword called a "koshigatana" , and he did not receive a Japanese sword or armor. Yasuke did not participate in any battles other than the Honnoji Incident, which he was caught up in. If he went to the battlefield with only a short sword, he would be killed immediately. He had no other achievements. Yasuke was captured by Akechi's army after the Honnoji Incident. Akechi Mitsuhide released Yasuke, calling him a "黒奴（kuro-yakko)" and saying that he was no different from an animal. (kuro = black, yakko = slave or low-ranking servant) The concept art uses photographs from the Meiji period and present, as well as photographs of Chinese Buddhist statues, without permission. UBI calls its stories fiction when it comes to Japan, but says it is faithful to historical facts when it comes to other countries. UBI says that beheadings were common in Japan during this period, but that is a lie told to make the Japanese of that time appear to be a primitive people. In an interview in Italy, UBI said that he looked for tall samurai because Japanese people are short. UBI posted a video (now deleted) that was aimed at Japan, with Japanese audio and Chinese subtitles, making fun of both Japan and China at the same time. UBI doesn't listen to Japanese people who criticize the game, calling them white people pretending to be Japanese or racists. If they had declared from the beginning that "This game is fiction. It has nothing to do with real countries, history, culture, people, etc.", Japanese people, who are tolerant of fiction, would have laughed and forgiven them. However, UBI maintained its stance of being faithful to historical facts and continued to make lies and statements that belittle the Japanese people. 日本人は日本の歴史、伝統、文化、季節感を愛し大切にしています。しかしＵＢＩは日本人の気持ちを無視して西洋流の歴史観と価値観（ポリコレ）を推しつけてきます。日本人はＵＢＩの厚顔無恥、傲岸不遜、日本人軽視の人種差別的な態度に頭にきています。 Japanese people love and cherish Japanese history, traditions, culture, and seasonal feeling.

Great breakdown! I’m glad we are finding more distinctions between the two playable characters. I’m conflicted as I don’t normally adhere to one style and like to switch it up mid-mission. Sneaking through one section and bruting through an other for example. It makes the divide between the two harder for me to stomach although I’m nonetheless excited for this release!
Thank you so much! Yeah, it's not great to not be able to change style and character at any time during missions, but there will be some... "checkpoints" during missions where you still can!
Do you think thay Yasuke will be an Assassin too because of that phrase? I hope so. He doesn't need an hidden blade or an hood to be a member of the Brotherhood. He can be like Mario Auditore and Bartolomeo.
I’m… not sure if he’s going to be an official Assassin, maybe more like somebody that cooperates with them. The vibe I’ve gathered is that all the assassiny stuff is tied to Naoe while the fantasy stuff (as in feudal Japan, historical, samurai etc.) is more tied to him. Then again I hope to be proven wrong! For sure not every assassin has a hood or a hidden blade..
Anybody else find it annoying that she s releasing her hidden blade on and off every time she's in proximity of an enemy. It seems really immersion breaking at some places. It would have been really cool at least if we heard the sound of the blade coming out and sheathing in
some interviews says you won't be able to change character "during quests". However, since Origins there's not really a clear distinction between "in a quest" and "in free mode", it feels like you are in free mode always. I hope this feature they said means there will be a clear distinciton for quests and open world, because it's good for narrative. I don't want the freedom of "it's quite busy here, we need your help immediately, but you can fly back home to do some fishing and hunting".
Yeah, I'm going to try and dig a bit more in the interviews to see if there are more specifics to this - Maybe they mean the main quests and not the side quests or missions, and the choice will be locked only if you have your main quest activated. Maybe it's like that. And yeah, I also do hope for a clearer distinction between quests and open world. Fingers crossed!
Hey! So, Yasuke won't have a Hidden Blade but as far as I know he should be able to "assassinate" as in eliminate guards in one blow when unseen. Still waiting for confirmations though! As for parkour, Yasuke should be able to do very basic parkour, but not as much and not as in depth as Naoe
The lack of social stealth is a bit disappointing but at the same time it kinda reminds me of a lesser version of how it worked in AC1. Either way can't wait to see more.
Well there are a lot of fans that enjoy combat in Assassin's Creed and Yasuke will have way more weapon types, abilities and options in that regard I'm actually quite happy that the two main characters are so distinct that players can go super specific in their customization to find the perfect set-up for their playstyle
@@Tfox-n6g Unfortunately they were. SBI didn't want gamers to know but it got found out. (I previously posted a link and longer post to you but UA-cam for no reason took it down)
Cool stuff. I don't know if it has been mentioned anywhere, but it looks like you can't carry dead bodies and move them out of the way now, as back in Unity.
Man i am hyped but idk after ac 3, it started to feel like Ubisoft is releasing ac games for the sake of releasing ac games. Till ac 3 everything seemed so connected, heck until rogue it still kinda was. (Referring to our main story aka modern day story) unity's modern day story didn't feel relevant at all, syndicate was alright. But origins and Odyssey were idk unnecessary? Valhalla however was amazing, i really felt as engaged i was in ac 3's modern day. And finally they are back on track but apparently ac shadows will have no connection to the story we left off in valhalla? I mean yall remember that loki/basim is in the modern day right? In flesh and blood. I want them to continue from that.
This way of fighting is not the way of samurai, and no one wears armor and helmets on a daily basis. If the villagers found such Yasuke, they would run away as fast as they could out of fear. Even in the Sengoku period, if he was beheaded in the town on a daily basis, he would be rather a villain. Please don't make Yasuke a villain like an ogre. Shinobi don't fight in the middle of the day, and they don't wear shinobi costumes on a daily basis. We don't plant rice when cherry blossoms are in bloom, and we can't harvest persimmons during cherry blossom and rice planting seasons. Generally speaking, passing through a torii gate before entering a village means going to another world. It's called vegetation, and to decorate buildings that would never have happened in Japan and umbrellas that would never have happened in this era ... Is Yasuke set up as an ogre who wandered into a village in another world?
