      If I'm not mistaken. The time period which ghost of tsushima takes place. Ronin were more peasants who fled their masters lands not really a samurai without a master. Given I love the idea of masterless samurai.

      It is similar to what happen to some career soldiers after leaving the military. None career soldiers are only there for 1 or 2 years so they can quickly get employment else where, but a lot of the more career ones, mostly those in combat unit, their skills got little need outside the military and after been in the army for 10~15 years, they can be a bit too old to start over, some of them went to college in their 30s or even 40s to start a new career, some become cops or private security and some become hire guns.

    A rōnin (浪人, "drifter" or "wanderer")[1][2] was a samurai without a lord or master during the feudal period (1185-1868) of Japan. A samurai became masterless upon the death of his master or after the loss of his master's favor or privilege.[3][4]
    In modern Japanese usage, usually the term is used to describe a salaryman who is unemployed or a secondary school graduate who has not yet been admitted to university.[5][6] *-The American Oxford Dictionary*

    Other comments: some of the artwork are gorgeous. But the lack of reference and credit for the artists is a disservice to the great unknown artists who made it.
    Another issue I have with this is the mismatch of Art. Some of the Ronin in the video like 1:38 appear Western. Japanese do not have facial hair this full and thick (unless they have mixed blood with Westerns). They simply have different facial hair textures.
