So, basically, Japanese protection of the Ainu under imperial law, was like native protection in the Americas under Spanish royal law. In theory they were to be well protected and respected, but that clearly wasn't always the case. Seems to happen with a lot of frontier territories during the process of conquering.
@@やる気熱々 Mongolia never practiced colonialism... or was never able to (failed invasion of Japan). Imperialism was the only thing they were ever able to do.
In Japan, there is a war that started because of a sword purchase went wrong. Meanwhile in Canada, two companies went to war with one another regarding pemmicans. What both wars have in common? The natives are always the ones suffered the most, one way or another.
While a Japanese woman of a rival clan that lost to the Tokugawa and was forced into exile in Hokkaido is a really cool story premise, I really wish our protag was Ainu. We have endless games playing as Japanese characters, but very few if any where you can play as Ainu, especially a big, modern, and popular AAA like this.
Sadly there is a vocal minority here in Japan that would scream bloody murder at game set here that was based around anyone but an ethnically Yamato person. Yeah, that Golden Kamuy series had an Ainu character, but she wasn't the protagonist. Japan is still a huge market; no sense in alienating it like Ubisoft did lol
@@Kagemusha08 That's just sad. Do they not even give af about their own people? I feel like this some shitty hatred that was created cos of the Edo period again. That period fucked up Japan's society.
@Kagemusha08 I figured there would be some in Japan, like in every country (and especially in a country as know for its xenophobia as Japan), but game companies never prosper by kowtowing to those bigots. Yotei should absolutely have an Ainu protag and those biggots just need to learn to deal.
@@parthiaballActually even JP "bigots" are baffled by the casting. It would be easier to just switch around the conditions than to find a reason for a protag from JP, in 1603, Mt. Yotei area

Emishi means Barbarians Ainu means last people of the sun. Japanese are mix of Yayoi from Korea and Jomon tribes, which became Yamato. After late 1690 Jomon tribes are called Ainu as they still follow the old ways unlike Yamato. Also Hokkaido has been part of Japan since early 1600, But people think Hokkaido became part of Japan during Meiji era.
The Yayoi people most probably have no serious relation to Korea. There are way too many similarities with cultures from Southeast Asia. Whatever the influence from Korea, it came after the Yayoi had settled the Japanese archipelago. Concerning Hokkaido - it was considered a part of Japan during the Edo period but only formally. The Matsumae clan didn't control the Ainu, they were free to do as they wish as long as they weren't aggressive. The island was practically colonized during the Meiji period and thus it effectively became part of the Japanese state then.
@@Perceval777 there's literally no similarities with Southeast Asia. Only speculation, Sami people have some similarities with languages and Shamanism of northern Japan that doesn't mean both are related. Some even say Australian Aborigines, Sentinel island Aborigines and Jomon are same group which is idiotic. Also it's few samurai driven out went to Hokkaido with help from French declared themselves independent from Japan they got defeated and Hokkaido became Japan again. And people took it as Hokkaido became part of Japan at that time
@@Duluuuuuuuuuhbul I am talking about the Yayoi people, not the Jomon and Ainu people - the Yayoi people's religion is similar to religions in Southeast Asia, where the Sun deity is primary and the ruler is considered a descendant of that deity. On the continent, you see the deity of the sky as primary - Tien, Tengri, etc. In China, Korea and Mongolia the sky deity is the most important and you see the rulers associating with it. Also, the Japanese longbow itself is one of the best examples you have of Southeastern origins - the bows in Korea, China, Mongolia, Manchuria, etc. are short composite bows while the ones in Southeast Asia are longbows made from supple branches. The Jomon people (including the Emishi and Ainu), on the other hand, no doubt have Siberian/Northeast Asian origins.
Kings and General has got to be one of the coolest documentary producers! Producing documentaries about the story in elaborate video games is a neat idea, and it is a great background for getting people interested in world history. Well done, K&G! Keep it up!!
I hope it will be a 'Atsu is a only survivor of her clan out for revenge on those responsible who fled to Ezo, while also exploring/exploiting the relationship between the Japanese and Ainu' kind of story, almost a kind of reverse of Jin's character where Jin starts uptight but ends more 'renegade' so to speak, I hope Atsu leans into the Ghost in the beginning but ends more 'righteous'.
I sense a political intention in starting another ghost story on Ezo in 1603, but anyway. Given the setting Yotei should naturally respect the Ainu people and their culture. I hope theyd also properly depict Wajins other than Atsu Edited: I commented "Jin's story'' to mean "previous work'' but didnt have enough words
Interesting video, providing some historical context for the game. I know you did one for Assassins Creed Shadows, would you consider doing a history video for the Ezio trilogy timeline in the Italian renaissance or for black flag in Assassins Creed? The Italian wars videos would line up partly with AC brotherhood, but for AC2 and Revelations, and the rise of the Borgias would be interesting. Thanks
I'd rather have the second game be about the 2nd mongolian invasion getting wreck'd by the divine wind than whatever the heck the plot on Yotei is gonna be.
@dominusdone5023 That doesn't make it the point of the game, you might've really enjoyed killing people of a certain ethnicity but the point of the game and the reason it was created was to tell its story.
The Ainu and Ryukyu peoples are of the same Jomon descent as the Japanese. And since Japanese people have always lived in Hokkaido, the indigenous people are Japanese. For reference

"Ghost of Yotei"... Well, I don't know what happened on Ezo (Hokkaido) in 1603, but I know what happened on Ezo and Karafuto (Sakhalin) in 1806-1807. Those events could become a great vengeance story of one young Ainu hunter (huntress). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khvostov_Incident
Finally, some actual discussion about the possible plot line of Ghost of Yotei. Instead of some UA-camrs just whining about a woman being the new protagonist of the game series.
@@anonisnoone6125I honestly think they should have had character customization so that the issue of gender can be fixed and people can play whatever gender they want although personally the female protagonist doesn’t really bother me since it’s not like we’re playing as an official samurai and Ghost of Tsushima has always been more about movie authenticity then historical accuracy
I really wonder of the game world is just gonna be a bunch of untamed frontier given there weren't any larger Japanese settlements in Hokkaido during that time. That means no shrines, no temples, no towns except for one trading outpost, no pagodas, no castles except for one small one. Seems a little off-putting ngl
It sounds like they missed an opportunity to showcase an Ainu protagonist. It does baffle me when these companies preach about diversity, so make the main character a woman where it feels more contrived, but then don't show a genuinely underrepresented group.
@@Peasham Because female warriors in feudal Japan (like with many historical settings) were relatively very rare compared to the male ones. So while not completely implausible, it's jarring to have one be the main representation of that context. Devs generally use a similar logic, in deciding to make none of the grunts you fight female.
@@evilduck1000Katanas and ninja techniques didn't exist by the time Ghost of Tsushima took place, nor did plenty of traditions that exist within, to say nothing of sword styles and techniques with it, yet no one considers Tsushima convoluted. But a woman who could've, for all we know, even been self-taught, as such people did exist in Japan and ESPECIALLY during this time period where everyone learned how to use weapons, is convoluted.
I like that we arent being given more Jin, his story was told, the book was closed and now we open a new one, a new story, i new hero and and new villain I hate when sequels try to force the continuation of protagonists, often to the point where they ruin the character so having this new protagonist is a nice way to continue imo
@KingsandGenerals Difference is that the 1st Mongol Invasion is a "monolothic" event, for lack of a better word. Its a massive issue for Tsushima during the time, but its also a very simple one. *Invaders wage total war on your home island and you must defend it by any means necessary.* You meet new allies and flare up old rivalries along the way, _but that's about it._ Meanwhile, the *_leadup alone_* to what happened until 1603 Southern Hokkaido is a complex web of events involving a maze of politics and social issues involving several morally grey factions. Matsumae influence in Wajinchi, Ainu oppression at the hands of the Yamato and the insurgencies triggered by it, Tokugawa being titled Shogun and the onset of a new period in Japan, etc. I feel like such a setting is a waste for the kind of game they're going to make. A pretty looking cinematic Action Adventure game. Imagine if Fallout New Vegas, with all of its RPG mechanics, its vast writing and dialogue tackling the issues brought on by the NCR-Legion war, and its exploration of the politics and ideologies of all of its factions was just *_thrown away_* and was made into a linear FPS where we just kill the big bad mutant final boss and do odd jobs for random NPCs along the way instead. That's what I feel is going to happen with Ghost of Yotei.
I can't begrudge creatives taking liberties with history. I know that some history fans might find it in poor taste, but, anecdotally, each popular media set in history, whatever it is and no matter how historically flawed, still popularizes history and creates not only new history fans, but actual historians. A few of our PhD level writers cite Ridley Scott's Gladiator as the early inspiration for becoming historians. And we all know how inaccurate and flawed Gladiator is.
@@KingsandGenerals All well and good that a historically innacurate and inauthentic film inspired a few of its audience to be interested and become professionals in thr study of the time period it based itself off of. *But it doesn't change the fact that said film **_is historically inaccurate and inauthentic and doesn't show much of the average Roman's life._* I guess the crux of my point is that: Most people would settle for Ghost of Yotei being like Gladiator. I'm looking for an Edo Jidai game more like *HBO's Rome.*
@@DJWeapon8 Rome has its own inaccuracies like the two main characters being at almost every important event in the rise and fall of Caesar and afterwards with the rise of Octavian even though there is no evidence for it and they are mentioned only once by Caesar, to Titus getting Cleopatra pregnant, to Caesarion surviving Octavians rise to power being examples. I get that you are seeing Ancient Rome through their eyes but nevertheless their involvement in the events depicted in the series is fictional. From what I can gather the historical consultant on the show stated the aim was to be historically authentic rather than accurate. Also it seems the historical Titus Pollo ended up switching sides and joining Pompey. In summary, Rome is not completely historically accurate.
I think it’s gonna be about revenge. I think something twisted and tragic really happened to Atsu’s family and she’s on the hunt for the perpetrators, hence the list of names she carried with her. It’s gonna be dark.
@@Peasham they weren't shown as superior to him (he still beats lady masako in a duel and survives tomoe) but they were all portrayed as strong women. To pretend Ghost of Yotei is changing anything, like the OP, is to be a fool

*Invaders wage total war on your home island and you must defend it by any means necessary.* You meet new allies and flare up old rivalries along the way, _but that's about it._
Meanwhile, the *_leadup alone_* to what happened until 1603 Southern Hokkaido is a complex web of events involving a maze of politics and social issues involving several morally grey factions.
Matsumae influence in Wajinchi, Ainu oppression at the hands of the Yamato and the insurgencies triggered by it, Tokugawa being titled Shogun and the onset of a new period in Japan, etc.
I feel like such a setting is a waste for the kind of game they're going to make. A pretty looking cinematic Action Adventure game.
Imagine if Fallout New Vegas, with all of its RPG mechanics, its vast writing and dialogue tackling the issues brought on by the NCR-Legion war, and its exploration of the politics and ideologies of all of its factions was just *_thrown away_* and was made into a linear FPS where we just kill the big bad mutant final boss and do odd jobs for random NPCs along the way instead.
That's what I feel is going to happen with Ghost of Yotei.
I can't begrudge creatives taking liberties with history. I know that some history fans might find it in poor taste, but, anecdotally, each popular media set in history, whatever it is and no matter how historically flawed, still popularizes history and creates not only new history fans, but actual historians. A few of our PhD level writers cite Ridley Scott's Gladiator as the early inspiration for becoming historians. And we all know how inaccurate and flawed Gladiator is.
@@KingsandGenerals All well and good that a historically innacurate and inauthentic film inspired a few of its audience to be interested and become professionals in thr study of the time period it based itself off of.
*But it doesn't change the fact that said film **_is historically inaccurate and inauthentic and doesn't show much of the average Roman's life._*
I guess the crux of my point is that:
Most people would settle for Ghost of Yotei being like Gladiator.
I'm looking for an Edo Jidai game more like *HBO's Rome.*
@@DJWeapon8 Rome has its own inaccuracies like the two main characters being at almost every important event in the rise and fall of Caesar and afterwards with the rise of Octavian even though there is no evidence for it and they are mentioned only once by Caesar, to Titus getting Cleopatra pregnant, to Caesarion surviving Octavians rise to power being examples. I get that you are seeing Ancient Rome through their eyes but nevertheless their involvement in the events depicted in the series is fictional.
From what I can gather the historical consultant on the show stated the aim was to be historically authentic rather than accurate. Also it seems the historical Titus Pollo ended up switching sides and joining Pompey.
In summary, Rome is not completely historically accurate.
People need to accept that jin's story wad finished.
Why? I mean there is nothing they can do about it, but everybody who is disappointed has every right to voice their opinion.
Sucker punch already said that it wasnt.
They literally said they have plans to make a sequel
@@chivasroco1752Even when their sole complaint is this game has gone “woke”?😂
@@ItsJustCartier if it has, sure why not. Or are you of the opinion that complaints you disagree with should not be voiced?
I do appreciate those of you that can afford to sustain this fine channel. It helps from getting stupider,I think.
I can't handle these weird over pronunciations from the voice over....
It’s going to be way better then that trash AC shadows
I think it’s gonna be about revenge. I think something twisted and tragic really happened to Atsu’s family and she’s on the hunt for the perpetrators, hence the list of names she carried with her. It’s gonna be dark.
I will be boycotting the game for not continuing Jin story
logic
So why didn't you boycott the first game, for denying every avenue for the continuation of Jin's story?
From the great Jin Sakai 🐐🗡️👺
To
Women’s Empowerment. 🌈🦄🏳️🌈
See that's funny cuz every woman in the first game was stated and shown to be superior than him, him having to beg them for help on multiple occasions
@@Peasham they weren't shown as superior to him (he still beats lady masako in a duel and survives tomoe) but they were all portrayed as strong women. To pretend Ghost of Yotei is changing anything, like the OP, is to be a fool
🎉🎉🎉
This game should be better than Assassin's Creed Shadow over depictions of Yasuke.
Shills
Boooo
Great more social engineering another one to boycott
Explain
Women samurai a pointless change and unbelievable a dei move I won’t be playing it ether
@@Tom-i8q5yWould be a shame if any woman who happened to be a samurai (they were a social class) had to know how to fight, or something, to say nothing of the ones that went out and fought.
Who asked you to show up in my recommendation and start spreading some Japanese propaganda? Why don’t you get out of my face right now Huh?
What Japanese propaganda?
@@FreyR_Kunn propaganda that apparently includes an extensive detailing of ainu misstreatment at the hands of the Wajin japanese ahahah, (that they avoid talking about domesticallt) so much for "propaganda".
A great premise ruined by political correctness. SAD!
It is 2024. The word is now DEI. Update your vocabulary.
Political correctness is when woman?
I love the way you mentioned a hugely controversial game and then do a historical Accurate non controversial video , genius you are probably a millionaire
Me and my 987k friend wouldn't buy if we don't get an option to choose a male protagonist
Crying that you have to play a woman in your big boy game
Hello sir ! If you fancy artwork based on historical events, be sure to check your email for a proposition. Thanks for reading and have a great day.
ainu people is not original ethics of japan.
wajin(jomonjin) is original.
