Just so that misinterpretation does not propagate any further I would like to lay down a few facts: 1- Shogunate in this period is not over. Shogun is a supreme military commander title given to any clan leader with the official role of protecting the emperor, though in practice this gave the Shogun, the de facto political power as well. 1603 is just the beginning of Edo period where the Tokugawa clan consolidates its power becoming Shoguns for more than 200 years and the title would not pass on to another clan anymore. 2- The shamisen instrument the character carries in the back, though sounding similar to a western banjo, couldn´t be more different in its origins and the way it is played. To start, the shamisen was essentially invented in China hundreds of years before Christ, so no way it can be regarded as a "western instrument modification" as inferred by the presenter. It is a three chord instrument with no musical note markings on the neck, which makes it particularly hard to learn to play the exact same tune every time. The use of Shamisen on the background music mixed in Western movie style is appropriate, as Yotei is close to another location called Tsugaru straight, where the shamisen is a very prominent musical instrument with modern artists blending its sounds with western music. Also it gives the vibes of a frontier story mirroring the Ezo land with the North American far west. 3-Though the Tokugawa clan did start their reign at the same time as this game portrays I doubt the main character would ever interact with the Tokugawas much less other samurais like Musashi, or Kojiro. The northern territories were a forgotten afterthought area for these warriors and daimyos lords, so much so fallen samurais and civilians would flee to these lands to run away from their rulers. If I had to bet, it is more in line with bounty hunter related story, just like a western movie. However the wolf symbology does carry a significant weight as the native people from Ezo would regard them as important animals, with some local folklore claiming the Ainu people were born from the coupling of a wolf with a goddess, and mount Yotei also is referred by these people as the female mountain, to praise women vitality. Fitting symbology with the character.
i think the main antagonist faction is probably Matsumae Clan(fomerly known as Kakizaki Clan), but i think Tokugawa Shogunate's assassins or Toyotomi Remnants could possibly appear as minor enemy factions too.
@@nomorepalewood This is supposed to be a story of personal vengeance so maybe she’s hunting down specific Toyotomi samurai that fled north after the Battle of Sekigahara? At first I assumed she was Ainu but it’s also possible she’s from the mainland and travelled to Hokkaido for her quest. She could be a Tokugawa assassin herself.. 😅
@@PårchmēntôsMy first thought was she is an ainu and her village wiped out and now she is getting revenge but she might be from the mainland but i would really like if she is an ainu. Watch Golden Kamuy it is about mostly Ainus and its a hidden gem.
They're old school flintlocks, which means probably extremely slow to load and very inaccurate beyond 30 feet away. It would justify relying heavily on a bow still as that'll at least allow for the protag to have more accuracy and fire it more readily.
Onna-musha (女武者) is a term referring to female warriors in pre-modern Japan who were members of the bushi warrior class. They were trained in the use of weapons to protect their household, family, and honour in times of war many of them fought in battle alongside samurai men. So yes there Were women fighters in Japan history.
Although not as bad as the YASUKE issue, this is also an exaggeration of historical fact. It is "maybe there were" or "I hope there were," not "there were female soldiers in Japan like in the modern military !!!"
her using Swords is Unusual as most were trained with bows and Naganato (pole arm with a long semi curved blade) but it's not unprecedented in fact one of the most famous female samurai was a renowned sharp shooter cause they were using rifles towards the end of the edo period
@@z-accountlogic8913 no, there’s literal recorded history of female Japanese warriors. No “hoping” involved or needed, several famous female warriors can be found with a simple google search.
something i haven't seen mentioned yet is the possibility that we don't start the game with dual swords, and instead learn the technique from Musashi, seeing as he practically standardised an entire way of dual-sword fighting, and became famous for it. something like in tsushima, how we observe enemy commanders to learn different stances. we could do some lessons with Musashi and learn how to dual-wield.
It is a cool effect in modern cinema when blood is highlighted red. I also do love the way blood looks black and almost like oil in old Kurosawa movies. Maybe theyll feature color highlights as a mode.
I did pretty much every side activity, I agree with your assessment of her shamisen the replacement instrument, I'm very excited for this game, if this is released close to AC Shadows it will absolutely bury Ubisoft, I'm thinking a May/June release.
Dunno what he is talking about. The Northern Lights absolutely can look like that. I grew up at the top of Scotland and would often see them like that. I now live in New Zealand and have equally seen the Southern lights that intense.
@@fseiba6718no they’re not the bad guys.. they were pushed out of thier lands and discriminated against by the Japanese to the point of almost being extinct
Seem with the couple of times we see the new ghost mask it’s been repaired with like gold. Similar to what they do with pottery and other thing in Japan
nah she is gonna be known as a ghost too. The ghost is not just one person, but like a mythical warrior that is actually real. Ghost of tsushima legends had multiple ghosts too
@victorpleitez768 then they wouldn't sell as much lol I mean she can be ghost to us but in the games lore I hope from all they're hinting she got inspiration from jins legend and ended up becoming something of her own (a wolf) I mean her sword hilt has a literal wolf on it and she's compared to one a lot so I'm hoping so. It'd be her being her own version of the ghost.
@@thesilverwolfofnyc5077 I take it to mean she’s gone be a loner with little to no allies compared to Jin. Her journey might just be the opposite where in which she loses a bunch of loved ones at the start and then gradually starts losing more and more as the story progresses.
I would dislike having my entire Kensei kit on and getting into a 1v1 duel. Constantly having to switch the outfit configurations got annoying, one of my few critiques.
Can someone just bring back some version of Tenchu....sigh. this game looks cool though, but im dying for rival ninja clans fighting over contracts reputation, and influence etc

Thanks for the info 👍
Much more informed than the game journalists 👍
Thank you
Amazing analysis 🎉
Playing through the Sengoku period after watching Shogun is gonna be such a treat. Hopefully we can meet Tokugawa, or even Musashi!!
1603 is the start of edo. Sengoku is overused in video games imo. A good edo adaptation would hit hard

Sony Japan advised Sucker punch in making historical character in Tsushima to avoid potential historical inaccuracy so they won't probably.

I hope the firearms won't dominate the gameplay loop too much. The combat in Tsushima was really special and I hope they can just improve that instead
You could literaly play the whole game with a bow in tsushima so.
They're old school flintlocks, which means probably extremely slow to load and very inaccurate beyond 30 feet away. It would justify relying heavily on a bow still as that'll at least allow for the protag to have more accuracy and fire it more readily.
Im not hype we control a woman that not real
The Japan at this era called "Sengoku Jidai"used Tanegashima Matchlocks and it will take 2 minutes to reload per shot. So, it wont be OP at all!
@@jish55it takes like 2 minutes to reload per shot. Only fired once per reload.

@rwbybomb2160 🤯👏🏼👏🏼 That would make perfect sense
I'm thinking the different animals; wolf, snake etc. could be fighting stances, like the first game had stone, wind, water etc.
God I'm so desperate to play this game already 😭
I wish they did a black and white but the blood is still red, that be dope
