Thing is they easily could have made a single character that was both a samurai and a shinobi. It's just strange that for every other game in the series you play characters that in the context of the setting would make sense.
Great podcast, you guys made a lot of good points and approached everything logically, where as many defenders of this game operate on emotions. I doubt the reasoning behind AC Shadows were genuine, especially with Ubisoft's track record and how a lot of modern games become driven by ideologies. An Assassin's Creed game set in Japan should have been done over ten years ago, when AC was about assassins and templars, not bloated RPGs made by activists milking a series that once had an identity.
I agree that the series has deviated so far from what it was it's very clear that the dev teams that work on it don't really want to make a new one or at least don't know hos to do so with a good story which is probably why they've been doing a more choose your own adventure style with RPG mechanics.
