@@youtubeenjoyer1743 I kind of liked the fact that they only really served a cosmetic purpose, made me feel less bad for missing things, and let me just go through the story whenever i wanted without having to worry about getting everything. Actual ubisoft games usually have collectibles serve like a purpose, like skill points or different weapons, or even just getting money, and when playing those games it made me really pressured to get everything before progressing with the story, but with ghost of tsushima, most collectibles are cosmetic, with the exceptions being health increases and focus increses, but i can always look up a guide for those and knock them out super quick.

Japanese female samurai, known as "Onna-bugeisha," were women who trained in martial arts and participated in warfare during the feudal period of Japan. These women were often from the samurai class and were skilled in various forms of combat, including the use of weapons such as the naginata (a polearm) and the katana. One of the most famous onna-bugeisha is Tomoe Gozen, who lived in the late 12th century and served under Minamoto no Yoshinaka during the Genpei War. She is celebrated for her bravery and fighting skills, and her legend has been immortalized in various literary works and historical accounts. Though not as common as male samurai, onna-bugeisha played crucial roles in battles and the defense of their homes and families, especially in times of conflict when their male counterparts were away. They embodied the values of bushido (the way of the warrior) and contributed to the samurai culture in significant ways. The contributions of female samurai are often overlooked in traditional narratives of Japanese history, but modern scholarship has increasingly recognized their importance and valor. Today, their legacy continues to inspire discussions about gender roles and women's empowerment in historical contexts. But I am guessing she'll be a ninja in the end? Hmm..
@@lawlietriver8869 "Here's three horses, pick one and name it because you'll be stuck with it the whole game and create an emotional bond" Me: Okey-dokey, let's go, Caramel-Kiss, we'll be best pals forever" Sucker Punch: (≖ ͜ʖ≖)
Wow. I didn't even consider that her wearing yellow could be a reference to Kill Bill. Considering it could be assumed she's out for revenge. If they actually meant to make it a reference, that's pretty cool. They're great movies.
So let's analyze this for a bit: 1. We got about 300 years advanced in from the main story. So there's no Jin 🌍 2. It's a female lead and she can use sword. Which means that she's probably came from a samurai family or somethin' 👩 3. We can dual wield. By that, maybe we will got some more amazing stances in the game ⚔ 4. We can use musket. I wanna have the bow and arrow too, though 🔫 5. We can use kusari. A medium ranged melee weapon with pulling capability maybe ⛓ 6. We can have an Ezo wolf companion (let's hope so). Or maybe the wolf will change the fox for the charm 🐺 7. It's Hokkaido! So, maybe we would encounter some Hinna Hinna people 🤼 8. She carries a shamisen, not a bamboo flute like Jin's. So the BGM for this game probably gonna be more uplifting than melancholic like Ghost of Tsushima 🎸 9. And let's hope she's actually Jin's descendant. So we could hear a lot of stories from her about him. I personally want to know about his end. And I don't wanna hear him die in a prison or killed by the samurais. Let the lad die in peace on his bed, beside his family or somethin' ☠
Hmmm, she's from a different family though. I think Ghost may be a title passed from successor to successor, rather than inherited by bloodline. Either way, means we potentially get more info on Jin's life after the events of GoT
I hope she is also related to him. Ghost of Tsushima has a very strong central theme about Family and Legacy. Jin with his Uncle, his dead father and Yuriko who took care of him after both his mom an dad died. Yuna and Taka. Khotun Khan also talks about his relationship to Kublai as well as Genghis and how he (and the Ghost) deserve to step out of their shadows. Ishikawa's desire for a daughter in Tomoe. Lady Masako with the tragic slaughter of her family and the betrayal of her sister. The warrior monk Norio and his brother Enjo. Family and Legacy is after Honor the next biggest thematic arc in the whole game.
I’ll miss what happens to Jin and Yuna. The game looks very good and I can’t wait for it to be released. I also hope that there is a back story about Jin though. You never know though. They just might leave it to your imagination on what happens to Jin and Yuna!?😁
Don't hold your hopes up. I just heard bad news. Critics report says the voice actress is some kind of woke activist. Past work, she voices Sektor from Mortal Kombat 1 and one character from Veilguard.
@@christopherjohnferrer3771 she has no say on the game development. She may say I improvised lines etc etc, but all actors do that to prop up their contributions. Usually it's miniscule and doesn't change from the main narrative. Sucker Punch have a great track record. That's the most important thing. And all we can do is wait and hope they continue the path they've been walking. Tsushima is one of my all time favorite games. Nothing will change that.
I read that during that time (1600s) in Hokkaido it is what is equivalent to what we call the Wild West in the US, there being no actual laws and just a lot of factions/groups jostling for power. So it makes sense the very Wild West feeling and tone the game is giving out. Also wouldn't be surprised if Sucker Punch did take inspiration form Kill Bill and the Female Prisoner Scorpion.
It’s also the beginning of the end of the Onna-Musha as we enter the Edo period. From this point on, women taking up warrior roles becomes less and less likely. Fits nicely with themes from Red Dead Redemption, the end of an era around the turning of a century. Her house has been destroyed, she is the only one left who can seek revenge.
Now i understand why they gave us a new character, Jin Sakai is basically Altäir, and somehow he must have inspired others to embrace The Ghost even after his death. We're literally witnessing the birth of the Assassin's Creed of this generation. This is freaking awesome and genius because by doing different stories with new characters, they also add more replay value to their games (such as Ghost of Tsushima). Ubisoft is so screwed💀
I would honestly equate Jin closer to Ezio rather then Altair specifically since it was Ezio that reineveneted the Brotherhood into what it would become, and would become one of the most venerated members of the Assasins for centuries to come... to the point he became a literal boogeyman for the Templars he was that good. Granted a lot of those changes comes down from Altair peeking into the future via the Apple and then writing it down so Ezio could see it 400+ years later... so maybe the Altair equation isn't that off key, honestly. But honestly, no one batted an eye when we moved from Altair to Ezio, or even Ezio to Connor, or Connor to Kenway. Why is this game getting so much hate when we don't even know much about it yet? Is it because of the VA? I mean, I guess dislike her, but VA's aren't exactly in the role to make large swaths of changes since by the time they are brought into the studio to record lines, the game is already more or less done as voice lines and diolgue are some of the last things done when in development, so outside of MAYBE a few lines or something being altered, there's not much she, as a VA, can really change or do since it's already written.
@@zsu-23-4shilka2 That's what armorers are for. Just as Jin's first armor he earns is from Masako, I believe it was for her son, if I remember, and it's refitted for him.
It's sad that Japanese Wolves were hunted down to extinction primarily due to the introduction of cattle and it's nice for Sucker Punch to get them right. I admit I was the one, who among others, who pointed out the use of the katana, instead of the tachi, in Ghost of Tsushima, along with the use of Sengoku period armor plus stuff that weren't present during the Mongol Invasions was anachronistic. Sucker Punch explains their reasons properly and was not hostile in anyway, unlike Ubishit. I do praise Sucker Punch for the Japanese dub of Ghost of Tsushima, they managed to use terms used during that period.
@@dalcomaroni9837 Armor is not outdated per se as this is set 3 years after Sekigahara but by 1603, Tokugawa Ieyasu is appointed Shogun in the same year. In fact, armors became decorative pieces by the Edo period due to the absence of battles. The katana is pretty much the same so yes, the setting in Ghost of Yotei is on point.
@@akanomamushi15 I love it when Sucker Punch is indeed a nerd to Japanese culture and history. While Ubisoftbrain is a literal bully and a NEET in Japanese slang for a loser with no life.
@@cjytp I believe so. They probably won't name him directly as Sucker Punch is against directly naming historical figures. But that is where we'll probably learn from a figure like him.
If UBI hadn't claimed that their fake fantasy was historical fact, Japanese people would have accepted Shadows. Sucker Punch loves psychics and samurai, and they make games based on that love. That love is reflected in the visuals, and it touches the hearts of Japanese people. That's what's great about SP, and what UBI doesn't have.
I trust Sucker Punch they know what they're doing and I know people miss Jin Sakai myself especially but let's give it a chance. and who knows, maybe Jin could be a DLC character or slip him in for a cameo.
Oh for sure, his sword or armour would be sick, or even a trippy mission where we do actually see him as a ghost, as I’m hoping for more Shinto elements this time around.
I do think a DLC about Jin is HIGHLY likely. His story was left ambiguous at the end of the first game. They could easily wrap his story up during the Second Mongol Invasion of Tsushima. Maybe he finally mastered the Way of The Ghost, and died to protect Tsushima. His teachings may have been passed down, where Atsu eventually taking the mantle of the Ghost.
The "Spaghetti Samurai" vibe or "cheeseburger" how they named it is so fucking epic. Ubisoft, take notes on how to not fuck everything up for the next time
I love Jin Sakai. But I like the idea that it's a Ghost series. That every Ghost is a different main character, different time period, different story. Jins story is finished after the DLC.. and it was beautiful
Hey shohei-san, I’m on vacation in Hokkaido right now and was just in Toyoko 3 days ago where you can see a perfect view of Mount Yotei. It was absolutely beautiful like you just mentioned, almost feels like I just got an unexpected preview of the game. I also visited the Upopoy museum on Ainu culture in Shiraoi yesterday and there was one section that showed the history of the time period depicted in the trailer. From the Matsumae family being given Hokkaidō as a fief to them gaining exclusive trading right with the Ainu people in 1604, the Ainu clans went from having a superior position in the region to being ruled over by the proxy of the Shogunate. This obviously led to tensions between the two people that later built up into armed conflicts such as the Shakushain and Menashi-Kunashi rebellions. The Wild West vibe the trailer seems like a very apt take on the time period with many factions vying for control of the region at the time. Which leads to my main point, I noticed that there are some Japanese people who are very skeptical of the game because they believe it might be a anti-colonization story with Ainu fighting back against the encroaching Wajin influence in the region. I was very surprised at how many people seem to believe the Ainu people should not be considered aboriginal people of Japan and that they’re just being used by political interests trying to debase Japan and Upopoy museum is just a part of that propaganda. It seems they believe the game is too political in nature due to their perceived notion that it’s a part of the “Ainu problem”. If it’s possible I’d love to hear your thoughts on such takes and perhaps delve deeper into the background of why some Japanese people would hold such opinion. However, seeing as it is quite political in nature I would perfectly understand if you decide not to broach this topic.

Ghost of Tsushima is top tier, cant wait for this. Thanks for all the insight into Japanese culture aswell, it is very interesting. Like the significance of the wolf to this specific location, i wouldnt have known if you didnt explain it.
Let me tell you, i am so excited for this game. I absolutely loved the fact that the production studio sucker punch created a love letter to the culture of japan with the first one and i am so looking forward to seeing them do it again with this one. I have a great feeling they're going to do right by japan once again
I'm very happy that the Ghost series is now an anthology series. I also noticed the very blatant nods to Kurosawa as well as spaghetti westerns. This is gonna be good. Very exciting!
Dude, congratulations on the video; it’s very well explained!!! I took the information you provided and used it on my gaming channel in Brazil, and I even made recommendations for your channel. You have one more subscriber. Thank you!"
My relationship with Tsushima was otherworldly, so my expectations were non existent. Had the same reaction, with the references and personal culture. Thank you for making this beautiful! 💕
I am very sad that some of the western gamers are pushing a hate campaign against this game already, seeming because there is a recent movement that claims female main characters in action games is “woke” and thus bad. It really bums me out because this looks good and I don’t want idiots like them to sabotage this game’s success.
I don't see any reason to believe that Sucker Punch won't deliver an equal game to GoT, honestly. I have complete faith and I'm really excited to see what changes have been made to the game's mechanics and the story's tone
@@willow_2312 There could be some changes from the staff but I know they can deliver an amazing game. I wish they add new mechanics like the musket that we see in the trailer and a better storytelling.
Ronin just mean "masterless person" it doesn't mean Samurai, could literally be any outlaw/outcast and she's on the run. So yes, Shinobi is one of the possibilities, especially this being the 1600s.
man... just arrived on your video randomly, I watched the trailer on other channels without feeling anything except wow the game is nice! but listening to your comments and knowledge, plus the music, gave me goosebumps all the way through ! and no I wasn't crying at the end neither ! you were ! haha The revenge aspect (SPOT ON I think!) of it also made me think of One Piece where the Samurais of Wano are fighting to get their land back, and there is a girl there, wearing a mask, playing music with that same instrument............ just saying xD I loved the yellow touch too. Thank you for sharing !
I was hoping to play more of Jin. Sad to see we can’t 😢 but I am happy to play as….the ghost of Yotei. Hope to see a cameo of Jin. And this is the real Assassin creed
If I did indeed see Jin's ghost consoling her and giving her a sad but invigorating motivation. It will make my grown ahh cry😭. Not just him, Yuna, Taka, and the rest of the defenders and survivors of Tsushima guiding her.
@fayke_Wyss I think so too, I think SP is capitalizing on Ubisofts failure, because GoT 2 has a lot more time. I think this game will be telling the industry how to make female characters look good without pandering. I hope it's good.
Its set about 400 years, give or take, after the first game so the Ghost of Tsushima is quite literally a ghost now. We might get some legend about him and maybe meet a shinobi clan he founded or something. That would be sick.
I played both AC Mirage and Ghost of Tsushima yet I feel more connected to Jin Sakai than Basim. The scenery, ability, story, and everything else are there. And as I just finish Ghost of Tsushima stories two weeks ago, I cannot even wait for this game to be released. Sucker Punch, never claimed about history or anything yet they delivered better than Ubisoft. This game is gonna be epic!!!!
@@shubhamshrivastava5812 i mean, i am sure he is a really respectable samurai but i dont think he is an assassin. Ubisoft should just make a fictional ninja and stick with their made up story rather than pushing narrative using a real historical figure. There is not even many literature about him while im sure there are tons stories about ninja that they can choose from. I think it will be more relatable with Japan and AC itself as ninja were often mercenaries, spies, and assassin, and they also willing to serve anyone as long as there is money. So, it looks to me that Ubisoft dont even know the base of their game themselves 😭
YES! I couldn't agree more. I used to live iin Hakodate and this has so much potential. Looks amazing. And Erika is a a friend of mine and she will be AMAZING in it. Truly... so extremely excited for this!
This is some of the best analysis I've ever seen, thanks for making! I'm glad they chose such an interesting time and place for this sequel, Hokkaido is so beautiful and it will be exciting to channel that in the gameplay
Bro is blowing up! Keep it going brother! Did my react! I'm from Texas and can tell u love wild wild west lore. Happy to see that. It's amazing in this game! Love the mix with Japanese culture.
I seriously thought the sequel would be ghost of Tsushima 2 with Jin again but a little older. I’m not disappointed though. Another story to tell in another part of Japan, it’s so exciting.
Man, you have all the references ready on sight. From spotting a link to the Ezo down to yellow signifying a potential revenge plot inspired story. let's see whether you're right :D but happily subbed to your channel just on this video alone.
dunno if you will see this but with her nails looking nice, could she be a performer when not hunting? i don't know what it would be called. but with her having the instrument it calls to me she could use it to scare and entertain. also the sash she has, could that be names of the people she is going after? would make sense if she is using blood to mark the person was killed.
Yea, it’s a list of her bounties. She was crossing off “snake/serpent” with the blood on her blade. There’s also Demon, Fox, Dragon, Spider, and Saito (I would guess this is the head or heir of the Saito Clan?). Being a traveling performer would make a lot of sense if she’s a shinobi. The Ghost is more shinobi than samurai. In Tsushima, Jin had to throw off the honor of being samurai and embrace the Ghost. She could either be a descendant of Jin, or if she’s a storyteller she knows about the “Legend of the Ghost/Jin Sakai” and decided to take on the mantle. I really hope she performs a song about him somewhere in the game.
It's so wholesome to see someone so passionate and excited about this game! Also thank you for all the recommendations like Golden Kamuy. Can't wait for this game and all the good content people like you are gonna make about it :)
Judging how well Ghost of Tsushima was made by Sucker Punch, they have earned trust from me. I am more curious about the dual wield and wondering if they will link her to Miyamoto Musashi. From the exquisite sword play and story in the first game, I am very curious how this plays out. They never claimed historical accuracy, so I'm soooo excited to explore Hokkaido. Apparently, Matsumae castle (guessing that's the one in the video) was built in 1606. Maybe the protagonist will fight to keep Hokkaido outside samurai influence or maybe she's a hunter for the Tokugawa shogunate, mopping up remaining dangerous people 😃
Bro! Right after I watched the trailer I came straight to your channel; glad you put this out today. Thanks for the insight. See you and Atsu in Yōtei 👊🏼
I bet ubisoft is quaking in their boots. Its a shame that we don't get a sequel to jin's story. I hope we get some missions explaining what happens to him. Either way it should be a good game.
I agree this game will be like LADY SNOWBLOOD!! Her family was slaughter by a group of people and she is out for revenge! Even the guy says she is hunted down by lots of Ronin ..JUST LIKE LADY SNOWBLOOD!
My favorite Ghost of Tsushima player/reactor gives the best reaction to Ghost of Yotei trailer! Love the explanation of Japanese lore/history: Okami, the Yamatai, Hokkaido, Ezo, Ainu, Joshu/Sasori. I think you're right with the Kill Bill/Lady Snowblood vengeance vibes with the yellow colors, snowy mountain covered with blood, the spaghetti western guitar music, etc. Looking forward to your playthrough of Ghost of Yotei.
Thank you for taking me through the trailer and explaining all the nuances of the story. I now know and appreciate what they are doing so much better. I LOVED Ghost of Tsushima and can't wait for this to come out..!!! Well done Sucker Punch. And did you say that you will be doing a play through on this channel..??
List of Notable Onna Musha active during End of Sengoku Era - Start of Edo Era (The time period Ghost of Yotei is based on) Yodo dono (Lady Cha Cha) (1569-1615) Ashigaka Ujinohime (1574-1620) Komatsuhime (1573-1620) Maeda Matsu(1547-1617) Kamehime (1560-1625) Kushihashi Teru (1553-1627) Numata Jako (1544-1615) Okaji no Kata (1578-1642) Seishin-ni (1585-1644)
So many people are saying that this is some woke shit, just because the protagonist is a female character.. this is so bullshit.. it’s totally fine, that the character is a woman. The first was a man, our dearest Jin, and the second is a woman. I think that is totally fine. This game will be good and I am really looking forward to play this game ❤️🙏🏼

Voice Actress didnt even spoke a word in this trailer and getting attacked for lulz. Fckin clowns.
I've been working right near the real Mt Yotei in Hokkaido for more than a decade and the opportunity to explore the region in a reimagined 1600s digital setting is pretty irresistable! Will be interested to see how they portray the communities on the island which I understand were mostly small groups of fishers, merchants, hunters, and indigenous Ainu tribes during those days. I get the impression Hokkaido had a similar vibe to collonial era USA during this time... except with super brutal winters.
Ty for breaking down the trailer. I first watched this after hearing about Shadows getting their show canceled at TGS, not that I really cared anyway. But seeing a sequel to GoT made me excited. Wondering if shes the last descendant of Jin Sakai? Would make sense why shes on a path of revenge. Lots of wolf themes which I can get behind. I can't wait for this one.
Love seeing how happy you are reacting to all this. You know an artist has done a good job when a person is excited about their own culture being represented. So excited for this game also and to experience some of that Eastern badassery.
I'm a huge Golden Kamuy manga fan so i'm hyped to fight bears, have a wolf as a friend, meet the ainu people (?) & explore the wilderness & fauna of Hokkaido 🙏

I've been watching some of your playthrough videos for Ghost of Tsushima, so when I saw this was announced I was excited to see what your reaction would be. Only a couple of minutes but I'm already blown away by what they've given us in the Ghost of Yotei trailer. I hope you get the chance to play the game on release as time allows, your perspective and little nuggets of cultural knowledge you share as you go through the game have always been a joy.

Japanese female samurai, known as "Onna-bugeisha," were women who trained in martial arts and participated in warfare during the feudal period of Japan. These women were often from the samurai class and were skilled in various forms of combat, including the use of weapons such as the naginata (a polearm) and the katana.
One of the most famous onna-bugeisha is Tomoe Gozen, who lived in the late 12th century and served under Minamoto no Yoshinaka during the Genpei War. She is celebrated for her bravery and fighting skills, and her legend has been immortalized in various literary works and historical accounts.
Though not as common as male samurai, onna-bugeisha played crucial roles in battles and the defense of their homes and families, especially in times of conflict when their male counterparts were away. They embodied the values of bushido (the way of the warrior) and contributed to the samurai culture in significant ways.
The contributions of female samurai are often overlooked in traditional narratives of Japanese history, but modern scholarship has increasingly recognized their importance and valor. Today, their legacy continues to inspire discussions about gender roles and women's empowerment in historical contexts.

Finally a UA-camr not yelling Jin's name like an idiot and actually knows what he is talking about!
ikr 😂😂😂
Wow. I didn't even consider that her wearing yellow could be a reference to Kill Bill. Considering it could be assumed she's out for revenge. If they actually meant to make it a reference, that's pretty cool. They're great movies.
So let's analyze this for a bit:
1. We got about 300 years advanced in from the main story. So there's no Jin 🌍
2. It's a female lead and she can use sword. Which means that she's probably came from a samurai family or somethin' 👩
3. We can dual wield. By that, maybe we will got some more amazing stances in the game ⚔
4. We can use musket. I wanna have the bow and arrow too, though 🔫
5. We can use kusari. A medium ranged melee weapon with pulling capability maybe ⛓
6. We can have an Ezo wolf companion (let's hope so). Or maybe the wolf will change the fox for the charm 🐺
7. It's Hokkaido! So, maybe we would encounter some Hinna Hinna people 🤼
8. She carries a shamisen, not a bamboo flute like Jin's. So the BGM for this game probably gonna be more uplifting than melancholic like Ghost of Tsushima 🎸
9. And let's hope she's actually Jin's descendant. So we could hear a lot of stories from her about him. I personally want to know about his end. And I don't wanna hear him die in a prison or killed by the samurais. Let the lad die in peace on his bed, beside his family or somethin' ☠
Hmmm, she's from a different family though. I think Ghost may be a title passed from successor to successor, rather than inherited by bloodline. Either way, means we potentially get more info on Jin's life after the events of GoT
I hope she is also related to him.
Ghost of Tsushima has a very strong central theme about Family and Legacy.
Jin with his Uncle, his dead father and Yuriko who took care of him after both his mom an dad died.
Yuna and Taka.
Khotun Khan also talks about his relationship to Kublai as well as Genghis and how he (and the Ghost) deserve to step out of their shadows.
Ishikawa's desire for a daughter in Tomoe.
Lady Masako with the tragic slaughter of her family and the betrayal of her sister.
The warrior monk Norio and his brother Enjo.
Family and Legacy is after Honor the next biggest thematic arc in the whole game.
it might be a wild wild west style with bounty hunter and rounin (leaderless/clanless samurai). 😊
She use dual sword . So i hope we can met miyamoto musashi .
I’ll miss what happens to Jin and Yuna. The game looks very good and I can’t wait for it to be released. I also hope that there is a back story about Jin though. You never know though. They just might leave it to your imagination on what happens to Jin and Yuna!?😁
Sucker punch looked at assassin's creed and said "hold my sake 😂 best coment ever
"Hold my sake"😂
Don't hold your hopes up. I just heard bad news. Critics report says the voice actress is some kind of woke activist. Past work, she voices Sektor from Mortal Kombat 1 and one character from Veilguard.
@@christopherjohnferrer3771she was ana bray from destiny 2
if this would be made by ubisoft we would expect a trans black fat female character🤣
@@christopherjohnferrer3771 she has no say on the game development. She may say I improvised lines etc etc, but all actors do that to prop up their contributions. Usually it's miniscule and doesn't change from the main narrative. Sucker Punch have a great track record. That's the most important thing. And all we can do is wait and hope they continue the path they've been walking. Tsushima is one of my all time favorite games. Nothing will change that.
I read that during that time (1600s) in Hokkaido it is what is equivalent to what we call the Wild West in the US, there being no actual laws and just a lot of factions/groups jostling for power. So it makes sense the very Wild West feeling and tone the game is giving out.
Also wouldn't be surprised if Sucker Punch did take inspiration form Kill Bill and the Female Prisoner Scorpion.
Kill Bill itself is practically a retelling of Lady Snowblood. This also feels very Hideo Gosha to me
Plus spaghetti westerns and old samurai films heavily influenced each other.
@@thatchstringfellow1432 for sure. Kill! by Kihachi Okamato is an excellent example, or the Samurai Wolf films by Hideo Gosha
It’s also the beginning of the end of the Onna-Musha as we enter the Edo period. From this point on, women taking up warrior roles becomes less and less likely.
Fits nicely with themes from Red Dead Redemption, the end of an era around the turning of a century.
Her house has been destroyed, she is the only one left who can seek revenge.
I was thinking Kill Bill....yes! I like it
Now i understand why they gave us a new character, Jin Sakai is basically Altäir, and somehow he must have inspired others to embrace The Ghost even after his death. We're literally witnessing the birth of the Assassin's Creed of this generation. This is freaking awesome and genius because by doing different stories with new characters, they also add more replay value to their games (such as Ghost of Tsushima). Ubisoft is so screwed💀
I would honestly equate Jin closer to Ezio rather then Altair specifically since it was Ezio that reineveneted the Brotherhood into what it would become, and would become one of the most venerated members of the Assasins for centuries to come... to the point he became a literal boogeyman for the Templars he was that good. Granted a lot of those changes comes down from Altair peeking into the future via the Apple and then writing it down so Ezio could see it 400+ years later... so maybe the Altair equation isn't that off key, honestly.
But honestly, no one batted an eye when we moved from Altair to Ezio, or even Ezio to Connor, or Connor to Kenway. Why is this game getting so much hate when we don't even know much about it yet? Is it because of the VA? I mean, I guess dislike her, but VA's aren't exactly in the role to make large swaths of changes since by the time they are brought into the studio to record lines, the game is already more or less done as voice lines and diolgue are some of the last things done when in development, so outside of MAYBE a few lines or something being altered, there's not much she, as a VA, can really change or do since it's already written.
I would LOVE a Ghost universe, honestly. They could do so much with it, and in the future maybe even do a follow up to Jin’s story.
I hope they make like a mythic tale where its about Jin, and you can get his armour or the Sakai sword kit, that would be pretty cool
They’d have to resize the armor for Atsu ‘cause she’d probably be a bit too small for it at first
i dont think she'll be able to fit it
@@zsu-23-4shilka2 That's what armorers are for. Just as Jin's first armor he earns is from Masako, I believe it was for her son, if I remember, and it's refitted for him.
Different part of Japan.
@@zsu-23-4shilka2 yeah true
It's sad that Japanese Wolves were hunted down to extinction primarily due to the introduction of cattle and it's nice for Sucker Punch to get them right. I admit I was the one, who among others, who pointed out the use of the katana, instead of the tachi, in Ghost of Tsushima, along with the use of Sengoku period armor plus stuff that weren't present during the Mongol Invasions was anachronistic. Sucker Punch explains their reasons properly and was not hostile in anyway, unlike Ubishit. I do praise Sucker Punch for the Japanese dub of Ghost of Tsushima, they managed to use terms used during that period.
but now the katana and the armour will be both correct (though outdated)
@@dalcomaroni9837 Armor is not outdated per se as this is set 3 years after Sekigahara but by 1603, Tokugawa Ieyasu is appointed Shogun in the same year. In fact, armors became decorative pieces by the Edo period due to the absence of battles. The katana is pretty much the same so yes, the setting in Ghost of Yotei is on point.
@@akanomamushi15 I love it when Sucker Punch is indeed a nerd to Japanese culture and history. While Ubisoftbrain is a literal bully and a NEET in Japanese slang for a loser with no life.
@@akanomamushi15 Isn't that time was the era where Miyamoto Musashi was at its prime?
@@cjytp
I believe so. They probably won't name him directly as Sucker Punch is against directly naming historical figures. But that is where we'll probably learn from a figure like him.

That's about right 😂🎉
I just watched Shohei reaction to some AC Shadows stuff and then this... Well.. Ubisoft must be sweating right now very very badly
The duality of man
If UBI hadn't claimed that their fake fantasy was historical fact, Japanese people would have accepted Shadows.
Sucker Punch loves psychics and samurai, and they make games based on that love. That love is reflected in the visuals, and it touches the hearts of Japanese people.
That's what's great about SP, and what UBI doesn't have.
One has a soul, the other does not. I am making the assumption that everyone will know which is which.

Ubisoft is about to get buried even more than they already been buried
I'm so happy to see you celebrating a western game about japan after being so disappointed about AC Shadows 💛
Then you should see his playthrough of Tsushima, it's like watching somebody slowly falling in love. So worth it and so entertaining
"Two heavens(swords) as one" a technique from Miyamoto Musashi...
And he was in his 20's in 1603.
This is looking great, let's go Sucker Punch!!
I hope we get to duel him or at least spar so he can teach us a secret technique or something.
The fact that Shohei-san almost cried tells us how much grateful and excited he is with Sucker Punch and the Ghost franchise.
I trust Sucker Punch they know what they're doing and I know people miss Jin Sakai myself especially but let's give it a chance. and who knows, maybe Jin could be a DLC character or slip him in for a cameo.
Game is set in the 17th century, Jin would have to be a literal ghost for a cameo…
@@AK-lx1cr I'm sure they'll probably slip in something for a reference.
Oh for sure, his sword or armour would be sick, or even a trippy mission where we do actually see him as a ghost, as I’m hoping for more Shinto elements this time around.
I do think a DLC about Jin is HIGHLY likely. His story was left ambiguous at the end of the first game.
They could easily wrap his story up during the Second Mongol Invasion of Tsushima. Maybe he finally mastered the Way of The Ghost, and died to protect Tsushima. His teachings may have been passed down, where Atsu eventually taking the mantle of the Ghost.
He's dead but (the armour of a ghost) side mission maybe
Now I’m definitely looking forward to the “hot springs” 😉

@@supersocer717 I’m not judging anything. I’m just wondering if they’re going to give the hot springs the same treatment in this game.
@@predetor911 I believe that this game will be better because it is foreign in a country
The "Spaghetti Samurai" vibe or "cheeseburger" how they named it is so fucking epic. Ubisoft, take notes on how to not fuck everything up for the next time
Its Ubusoft they'll 100% find something new to fumble 😂😂😂
I love Jin Sakai. But I like the idea that it's a Ghost series. That every Ghost is a different main character, different time period, different story.
Jins story is finished after the DLC.. and it was beautiful
Hey shohei-san, I’m on vacation in Hokkaido right now and was just in Toyoko 3 days ago where you can see a perfect view of Mount Yotei. It was absolutely beautiful like you just mentioned, almost feels like I just got an unexpected preview of the game.
I also visited the Upopoy museum on Ainu culture in Shiraoi yesterday and there was one section that showed the history of the time period depicted in the trailer. From the Matsumae family being given Hokkaidō as a fief to them gaining exclusive trading right with the Ainu people in 1604, the Ainu clans went from having a superior position in the region to being ruled over by the proxy of the Shogunate. This obviously led to tensions between the two people that later built up into armed conflicts such as the Shakushain and Menashi-Kunashi rebellions. The Wild West vibe the trailer seems like a very apt take on the time period with many factions vying for control of the region at the time.
Which leads to my main point, I noticed that there are some Japanese people who are very skeptical of the game because they believe it might be a anti-colonization story with Ainu fighting back against the encroaching Wajin influence in the region. I was very surprised at how many people seem to believe the Ainu people should not be considered aboriginal people of Japan and that they’re just being used by political interests trying to debase Japan and Upopoy museum is just a part of that propaganda. It seems they believe the game is too political in nature due to their perceived notion that it’s a part of the “Ainu problem”. If it’s possible I’d love to hear your thoughts on such takes and perhaps delve deeper into the background of why some Japanese people would hold such opinion. However, seeing as it is quite political in nature I would perfectly understand if you decide not to broach this topic.
Ubisoft-san, you better take note...

I'm very happy that the Ghost series is now an anthology series. I also noticed the very blatant nods to Kurosawa as well as spaghetti westerns. This is gonna be good. Very exciting!

That would be crazy
Holy shit we are sooooo back!!!!!!
Dude, congratulations on the video; it’s very well explained!!! I took the information you provided and used it on my gaming channel in Brazil, and I even made recommendations for your channel. You have one more subscriber. Thank you!"
Im glad you added your Japanese knowledge to the video 🙏
My relationship with Tsushima was otherworldly, so my expectations were non existent. Had the same reaction, with the references and personal culture. Thank you for making this beautiful! 💕
Glad to see someone excited and not call it woke trash or whatever at the first site of a female lead .
Finally 😂 also people act like Makato in the first game wasn’t bi. It’s not a new thing for the game to include gay ppl
I am very sad that some of the western gamers are pushing a hate campaign against this game already, seeming because there is a recent movement that claims female main characters in action games is “woke” and thus bad. It really bums me out because this looks good and I don’t want idiots like them to sabotage this game’s success.
The shamisen with guitar backing is such a great combo. I've heard this kind of music before but this arrangement sounds really good.
Female ronin is something I am intrigued to see, hoping her story and character development are as good as Tsushima.
I don't see any reason to believe that Sucker Punch won't deliver an equal game to GoT, honestly. I have complete faith and I'm really excited to see what changes have been made to the game's mechanics and the story's tone
@@willow_2312 There could be some changes from the staff but I know they can deliver an amazing game. I wish they add new mechanics like the musket that we see in the trailer and a better storytelling.
There was no female ronin in feudal japan
@@anas-432 look up Onna-musha lol a simple google search to prove u wrong
@@anas-432 Look. As long as this game doesn't have the same treatment like AC Shadows, I'll be fine with it.
I wonder if she's a Shinobi. She already knows how to use a ball and sickle, maybe she's dressed as a Ronin to travel easier with weapons?
Considering she is being hunted there is something going on for sure. Cant wait to learn more
Since she's a "ghost" anything is possible
I think she will still be part of a samurai family, and will be an onna-musha looking for revenge.
Ronin just mean "masterless person" it doesn't mean Samurai, could literally be any outlaw/outcast and she's on the run. So yes, Shinobi is one of the possibilities, especially this being the 1600s.
since the first ghost (jin) story was about revenge. i believe that this protagonist became a ronin for revenge
man... just arrived on your video randomly, I watched the trailer on other channels without feeling anything except wow the game is nice! but listening to your comments and knowledge, plus the music, gave me goosebumps all the way through ! and no I wasn't crying at the end neither ! you were ! haha
The revenge aspect (SPOT ON I think!) of it also made me think of One Piece where the Samurais of Wano are fighting to get their land back, and there is a girl there, wearing a mask, playing music with that same instrument............ just saying xD
I loved the yellow touch too. Thank you for sharing !
I was hoping to play more of Jin. Sad to see we can’t 😢 but I am happy to play as….the ghost of Yotei. Hope to see a cameo of Jin. And this is the real Assassin creed
Just perhaps his armor or any trinkets or perhaps a Ghost of him guiding our new female character.
If I did indeed see Jin's ghost consoling her and giving her a sad but invigorating motivation. It will make my grown ahh cry😭. Not just him, Yuna, Taka, and the rest of the defenders and survivors of Tsushima guiding her.
I heared ghost of tsushima 2 is still in development as well as the movie and this is going to be a inbetween title rather then a sequel
@fayke_Wyss I think so too, I think SP is capitalizing on Ubisofts failure, because GoT 2 has a lot more time. I think this game will be telling the industry how to make female characters look good without pandering. I hope it's good.
Its set about 400 years, give or take, after the first game so the Ghost of Tsushima is quite literally a ghost now. We might get some legend about him and maybe meet a shinobi clan he founded or something. That would be sick.
That montage galloping through the different scenic landscapes had me realising the music is gonna be so hard 🔥🔥🔥
I think this will be on the same level as Ghost of Tsushima. My wife is from Northern Japan, and she loves this trailer. I can't wait
Seriously, the transition of the first scene into the guitar + shamisen made all the hairs in my body go up
I played both AC Mirage and Ghost of Tsushima yet I feel more connected to Jin Sakai than Basim. The scenery, ability, story, and everything else are there. And as I just finish Ghost of Tsushima stories two weeks ago, I cannot even wait for this game to be released. Sucker Punch, never claimed about history or anything yet they delivered better than Ubisoft. This game is gonna be epic!!!!
I don’t think I can take a black Samurai seriously
@@shubhamshrivastava5812 i mean, i am sure he is a really respectable samurai but i dont think he is an assassin. Ubisoft should just make a fictional ninja and stick with their made up story rather than pushing narrative using a real historical figure. There is not even many literature about him while im sure there are tons stories about ninja that they can choose from. I think it will be more relatable with Japan and AC itself as ninja were often mercenaries, spies, and assassin, and they also willing to serve anyone as long as there is money. So, it looks to me that Ubisoft dont even know the base of their game themselves 😭
YES! I couldn't agree more. I used to live iin Hakodate and this has so much potential. Looks amazing. And Erika is a a friend of mine and she will be AMAZING in it. Truly... so extremely excited for this!
Their leaning into the Kurosawa and spaghetti western vibe so hard I love it. Having a female protagonist reminds me of The Quick and the Dead.

Man, you have all the references ready on sight. From spotting a link to the Ezo down to yellow signifying a potential revenge plot inspired story. let's see whether you're right :D but happily subbed to your channel just on this video alone.
dunno if you will see this but with her nails looking nice, could she be a performer when not hunting? i don't know what it would be called. but with her having the instrument it calls to me she could use it to scare and entertain. also the sash she has, could that be names of the people she is going after? would make sense if she is using blood to mark the person was killed.
Yea, it’s a list of her bounties. She was crossing off “snake/serpent” with the blood on her blade. There’s also Demon, Fox, Dragon, Spider, and Saito (I would guess this is the head or heir of the Saito Clan?).
Being a traveling performer would make a lot of sense if she’s a shinobi. The Ghost is more shinobi than samurai. In Tsushima, Jin had to throw off the honor of being samurai and embrace the Ghost. She could either be a descendant of Jin, or if she’s a storyteller she knows about the “Legend of the Ghost/Jin Sakai” and decided to take on the mantle. I really hope she performs a song about him somewhere in the game.
This is awesome. It will be my Blue Eyed Samurai roleplay.
It's so wholesome to see someone so passionate and excited about this game! Also thank you for all the recommendations like Golden Kamuy. Can't wait for this game and all the good content people like you are gonna make about it :)

Yeah! I was looking forward for your reaction! I thought of you as soon as I saw this live during the State of Play! So Excited!!!
Judging how well Ghost of Tsushima was made by Sucker Punch, they have earned trust from me. I am more curious about the dual wield and wondering if they will link her to Miyamoto Musashi. From the exquisite sword play and story in the first game, I am very curious how this plays out. They never claimed historical accuracy, so I'm soooo excited to explore Hokkaido. Apparently, Matsumae castle (guessing that's the one in the video) was built in 1606. Maybe the protagonist will fight to keep Hokkaido outside samurai influence or maybe she's a hunter for the Tokugawa shogunate, mopping up remaining dangerous people 😃
The way you said 'Thank you Sucker Punch' warmed my heart!
I'm just happy that there will be dual wielding sword stance
Thank you for this through expectations best reaction video I have seen so far
Bro! Right after I watched the trailer I came straight to your channel; glad you put this out today. Thanks for the insight. See you and Atsu in Yōtei 👊🏼
I bet ubisoft is quaking in their boots. Its a shame that we don't get a sequel to jin's story. I hope we get some missions explaining what happens to him. Either way it should be a good game.
I agree this game will be like LADY SNOWBLOOD!! Her family was slaughter by a group of people and she is out for revenge! Even the guy says she is hunted down by lots of Ronin ..JUST LIKE LADY SNOWBLOOD!
Let's hope they put flower of carnage ost.
My favorite Ghost of Tsushima player/reactor gives the best reaction to Ghost of Yotei trailer! Love the explanation of Japanese lore/history: Okami, the Yamatai, Hokkaido, Ezo, Ainu, Joshu/Sasori.

Voice Actress didnt even spoke a word in this trailer and getting attacked for lulz. Fckin clowns.
I've been working right near the real Mt Yotei in Hokkaido for more than a decade and the opportunity to explore the region in a reimagined 1600s digital setting is pretty irresistable! Will be interested to see how they portray the communities on the island which I understand were mostly small groups of fishers, merchants, hunters, and indigenous Ainu tribes during those days. I get the impression Hokkaido had a similar vibe to collonial era USA during this time... except with super brutal winters.
Ty for breaking down the trailer. I first watched this after hearing about Shadows getting their show canceled at TGS, not that I really cared anyway. But seeing a sequel to GoT made me excited. Wondering if shes the last descendant of Jin Sakai? Would make sense why shes on a path of revenge. Lots of wolf themes which I can get behind. I can't wait for this one.
Love seeing how happy you are reacting to all this. You know an artist has done a good job when a person is excited about their own culture being represented. So excited for this game also and to experience some of that Eastern badassery.
I'm a huge Golden Kamuy manga fan so i'm hyped to fight bears, have a wolf as a friend, meet the ainu people (?) & explore the wilderness & fauna of Hokkaido 🙏
🙏🏻😊Yes, me too
Princess Mononoke is my favorite animated movie of all time nice reference :D Most of us Americans have an appreciation of Japanese culture which is why we’re disgusted by ubifail. Luckily we got the Ghost games made by some pretty amazing and respectful people.
It's so nice to see a developer who actually does research and shows respect to the culture for which the game is based {ya i'm pointing a finger at you Ubisoft}!
I don't own a PS5, but I AM EXCITED AF for y'all who get to play this next year!!!
Ghost of Tsushima ran so Ghost of Yōtei could fly
and Assassin's Creed Shadows could trip and fall off a cliff lol
I was excited for Jin Sakai's next chapter but I'm excited for this too. Love you Japan ❤🌹
I loved Golden Kamuy! I can’t believe I’ll be looking out for any call backs now 😊 Hinna Hinna 🙏🏼
Seeing your excitement is hyping me up even more! Thanks for sharing! ⚔
I've been watching some of your playthrough videos for Ghost of Tsushima, so when I saw this was announced I was excited to see what your reaction would be. Only a couple of minutes but I'm already blown away by what they've given us in the Ghost of Yotei trailer. I hope you get the chance to play the game on release as time allows, your perspective and little nuggets of cultural knowledge you share as you go through the game have always been a joy.
well if a Japanese person is impressed by this upcoming game, then I have complete faith this game is gonna be a success. Cuz people are already calling sucker punch woke for having a female protaginist
It's a little warranted. Shes a far left activist and has pronouns on her socials, she goes by they/them. Why couldn't they get a non activist female?
@@thrasher2753maybe because she has a history of voice acting and was best for the job? Who the hell knows? The question is why the hell do you care about the political leanings of the damn voice actress? You think she’s suddenly gonna become their lead director? The game was well in development by the time she was hired. The anti-wokies will find any reason to call something woke, just like the wokies will find any reason to call something racist. Both are idiots.
@@thrasher2753 why tf does that make it warranted? It's only warranted if the game releases and the main protagonist is dogshit. So far that obviously isn't the case, so there is literally not a single thing to complain about concerning the fact that the protagonist is female. Unless you're a misogynistic prick who, well, just hates women in general for some f'd up reason
@@thrasher2753 than play the game with Japanese voices instead

I'm so excited for this bro 😎🙏
When I realized she is a dual wielding wanderer, I was like
"Ok, Musashi Miyamoto or anyone related to him will involve in this story."
I learned about him(her) thanks to my obsession with Fate/Grand Order 😂😂😂.
その可能性に気付いていませんでした！
そうか、同時代だ！
日本人なのに気づけなかったわ。
情けない…（T-T）
Looks good can’t wait. Thank you for the insight knowledge. We have an idea of what to expect now.
Great work of art incoming. We're entering the Renaissance era of gaming.
