- In the ending of Ghost of Tsushima Act 3: Kill Khotan Khan, Jin finally confronts Khotun Khan in the fight for Tsushima. Meanwhile his consequences as the Ghost follows him home.
-
In the late 13th century, the Mongol empire has laid waste to entire nations along their campaign to conquer the East. Tsushima Island is all that stands between mainland Japan and a massive Mongol invasion fleet led by the ruthless and cunning general, Khotun Khan. As the island burns in the wake of the first wave of the Mongol assault, samurai warrior Jin Sakai stands as one of the last surviving members of his clan. He is resolved to do whatever it takes, at any cost, to protect his people and reclaim his home. He must set aside the traditions that have shaped him as a warrior to forge a new path, the path of the Ghost, and wage an unconventional war for the freedom of Tsushima.

#AGirlAndAGame #GhostOfTsushima - เกม
Thank you to everyone who supported the let's play! This game is going down as one of my favourites, Sucker Punch did an outstanding job with it. Let me know your thoughts in the comments, I'd love to know what you thought of it and especially the ending! :)
There is a new yakuza game called like a dragon comes out in November you should check out the trailer :)
Yeah you Chose the bad ending,Sparing him his the good ending.
I loved this game so much! I don't cry often but damn this game got some tears outta me.
You should remember Jin is no longer a Samurai so he has no Honor, sparing his uncle in the end is a good ending.
@@jonboyuchiha4421 It's not a bad ending.
That final duel broke my heart and it was such a tough decision to make but in the end I gave Lord Shimura the honor of the warriors death he always wanted
you a weeabo
The voice acting in the English Dub is FANTASTIC in this game.
When Jin cries out, you can tell that it is true despair.
I wanted the white ghost dye. it was an easy choice. 😂

Kill Ending: Death of Lord Shimura
Spare Ending: “Death” of Jin Sakai
To be honest it’s in the title ghost of Tsushima so the death of Jin Sakai makes sense
jzi4 yeah..they didn’t punish you for losing a duel so Shimura would live and continue ruling Tsushima so...
jzi4 still though that would not be enough to get him in bad trouble the worst that could happen to Shimura is a slap on wrist
@@jzi4 No it was never implied that he had to do it himself. A jito is basically a governor and governors are not tasked to apprehend criminals himself. Jin was branded as a traitor so he becomes a criminal but it doesnt mean shimura has to do it himself. He just chose to do it himself to honor jin with an honorable death. Usually traitors are handled by vassal samurais.
But if he dies He will become a ghost lol he will be what he always has been
Bruh u feel his heart beat in the controller. And when he pulls the knife in u start to feel the beat fade as he passes shit had me dead.
Yes that killed me too I literally cried for the first time because of a game
First time I saw the "death" ending. My eyes literally filled with tears. I've never gotten emotional from a video game. When he called him his son........I lost it.
I think Sucker Punch is the new head developer! They nailed this game!! Way better than the Last of 2!
Masterpiece of a game. Definitely doing a 2nd playthrough
but you got platinum??
is a secret message after finishing 100% and gives a new badass colour for ghost armour
redfox2500 the white colour? I platinumed the game and I got 2 colors at the end
@@DamnedPunk135 depends in which you end. If kill uncle you got white and sparred will be red. And platinum reward is shiny green-red
redfox2500 ok, I didn’t know which was the color you got for platinum, I just knew I got 2 lol
I would too. IF IT HAD NEW GAME PLUS
When I finished this game for the first time, I chose to spare Shimura.
My reasoning was that Jin was no longer following the way of the samurai, and I felt that he wouldn't want to kill the last family he had left.
And personally, I had the mindset of "there has been enough senseless killing".
What I love about this ending is that either show fits the story.
The ending is essentially about Jin either embracing the fact that the way of bushido is not the path he walks anymore, or that he actually still believes in that path and he feels he still have a sense of honor within him. The themes of this game is centered a lot around family, honor and change.
When it comes to the kill ending, I think the theme they focus on here is more about the relationship between Uncle/Father and Nephew/Son. And while it is an ending that ends up with one of them dying, it sort of focuses more on the bonds between them. Jin still retains some of his honor, or at least he still believes in the ways his Father thought him, even if technically he is no longer a Samurai, he still believe in those virtues, at least to some extent. It is a really tragic but also a very touching moment that I think focuses more on that relationship instead of the thematic story about the war itself. And the focus here is more about Shimuras effect on Jin than the war itself. He is still the Ghost, but not completely.
When it comes to the spare ending, I think the theme here focuses more on the effects of Jins choices and the change to his personality over the course of the journey. In this ending he accepts that the path of Bushido is no longer his path, and he is not willing to sacrifice anyone else for the virtues that his Uncle thought him. Since Jin spares Shimura it often comes across as the good ending, and that is not essentially wrong but you have to understand that his Uncle will be honor bound to hunt Jin down as he is now an outlaw, someone he loves as a son. So it is not exactly a happy ending either. I think this ending distances itself a bit from the relationship between Shimura and Jin and it is more about the effects the war itself has had on Jin. He has now truly become the Ghost.
I am still unsure which ending I prefer, though I have to admit that I found the kill ending to be a lot more emotional than the spare ending, which is why I might like it a bit more. But the spare ending is perhaps more thematically fitting when it comes to the games story, at least the story about the Ghost itself. I think it boils down to witch aspect of the story one enjoyed the most. Was it the relationship between Shimura and Jin, or the fight against the Mongols and Jin becoming the Ghost.
Edit: There is one small detail that puzzles me with the "spare" ending. How on earth did Jin get Shimuras armor? If he is still alive, why would Jin dishonor him by stealing his armor? But when you kill him it fits more that he takes the armor as a memento. Since he did not really have any other family.
Good analysis. I went with spare, as I could not imagine killing Shimura. I felt it went well with the theme of the game - Jin’s evolution into the ghost. As Shimura said, Jin is no longer a samurai. So, I felt that I didn’t need to “honor” him and kill him. That being said, just now watching this ending, I feel it hits a bit harder emotionally. You can’t go wrong with either choice.
Exactly. I picked the spare ending myself. He frees himself from the bonds that forbid him from doing what he believes to be the right thing.
Some people keep saying that Shimura will have to commit seppuku but that's conjecture based on real world rules. The game's bushido code doesn't exactly follow its real world counterpart completely. The fact that Jin hopes uncle will forgive him implies that he's still around.
@@nickbusker725 I see what you mean but Jin never wanted to disgrace his uncle. Theres a reason shimura wanted to die. Either he couldn't live knowing how Jin was the ghost or he would be punished by the shogun. In my opinion leaving him alive is like spitting in his face one final time , completely disgracing him and leaving him to either be punished by the shogun or severely depressed. Killing him honors shimura and shows respect and lets shimura die knowing Jin didn't completely detach himself from the samurai way (Also you get a way more intimate interaction with him if you kill him) but thats just my interpretation. (Also some comment i read had said theres an npc who tells you shimura killed himself after sparing him but i'm not sure if thats true)
I think the effect the war had on him wasn't just about Jin becoming the ghost in the spare ending. But also about him not "honoring" his uncle's wishes for a warriors death not just because of him being the ghost, but also due to the fact that their tradition is simply too restrictive. It's gotten more people killed than what it's worth.
Killing Shimura won't change the fact that killing with or without honor won't change how dark and depraved the act is. Rubbing alittle honor on it won't spare you the emotional ramifications of such an act. It's not as simple as, "If I don't kill him it will disrespect him, therefore I must honor him with a warriors demise.".
When sparing him gives him a chance to face his decisions in life, and maybe see that everything he's followed has kind of been a sham. Killing only proves that you really haven't learned anything. The way of the Ghost is about sacrifice, resilience, selflessness, and teaching others how to be strong in the worst of times. Maybe keeping Shimura alive will have the same type of effect.
The Kill ending was the one that made the most sense to me. He was Jin's family, it felt only right to grant his last wish. Plus, I have a feeling the Shogun would have taken his head anyways if Jin spared him.
While I do understand where you are coming from I think the spare option is the right one because it shows that Jin has embraced the Ghost. By killing his Uncle it shows that Jin is still a slave to the Samurai Code. That’s how I see it anyway.
@@zerosorigin8387 That's a fair view, but I personally wasn't even thinking in terms of codes or honor at that point, just that it felt more right to me to honor the last wishes of a man who raised Jin. Neither one of them wanted to part the way they did, but I think Shimura knew he was a dead man walking the moment he lost their duel, and that if he was going to die, he'd rather die by the hand of a man he once called a son rather than the Shogun.
I don't think the shogun would have killed Shimura for losing an honorable duel. It's not like Shimura let Jin go, he fought and lost. I know they had seppuku, but I don't think the Japanese were cruel enough to execute you for failing a mission.
@@pcj27 perhaps. It's certainly something I'd have to look into more for sure. But still, it's kinda hard for me to say no to a man who is literally asking me to grant him a warrior's death.
I was tempted to kill him because he wanted it too. But I didn’t want Jin to feel hurt or traumatized by killing his last family relative. But regardless both endings are beautiful.
32:38 WOW, Jin's Ghost tactics have evolved to the point where he can drink Sake with his battle mask still on 😂
This game is a masterpiece, simple and absolutely a work of art. 10/10
Jin’s death wail got me.
that ghost army might be a great plot for a sequel
*caught* Ninjas *cough*
Enter the ninja
I agree with you, Jess. I probably like the ending when Jin kills Lord Shimura which makes me sad. Overall, I really like this gameplay and I really enjoyed it.
yeah he wouldve had to commit seppuku. either way.
I chose to spare him, because I couldn't make myself kill him. But now that I think about it more and saw this, I realize it would've been better to kill him.. I regret not doing it.
Edit: I actually loaded an earlier save to do it again. The save was a few main quests away though, so I had to play through those again. Was worth it though :D
@@threepercentclay
Being caught by mongol already is dishonor and should have died, seem uncle forget about that tradition.
I think both endings are good endings there isn’t a bad ending in my opinion
@@TheSoCalledZoner1 not really
But if you spare Shimura, he's going to commit seppuku after being spared by the ghost and returned the Shogun empty handed since he is slave to the honor.
I think there is no good ending, either jin has to kill his uncle by his own hand or he can spare his uncle, but his uncle will end up dead when he goes to the shogun empty handed
@@crazykid2042 this game is edgy as devil may cry series and meant for high school teenagers
shroud the streamer
I think both endings are kind of "bad"...
Sparing him ends up proofing that you are exactly what Lord Shimura and the Shogun thinks of you and further establishes "The Ghost".
Killing him ends up proofing that you still have honor and that you are still a Samurai deep within but killing the only family you have.
But both endings are great in their own way... I love it.
I can’t believe I cried. I think killing his uncle was the best for both of them, bc of the moment they shared, and it makes me wonder if there’s a cutscene after his uncle kills him. I’m still shipping Yuna and Jin in my heart and I SWEAR that I will make it happen. Maybe in fan art or something 😂😂😂
No there is no cutscene. Which is my only criticism of the game. Jin can't die because they need to keep themselves the option for a Sequel. Therefore if you lose the fight you just have to redo it again. Which brought me out of the moment.
Personally I would have preferered if SP just said: "This is the last exclusive PS4 game, we are making this a one-shot that will definately NOT have a sequel." And then have an ending cut-scene for Jin's death in case the player fucks up and his Uncle wins the fight.
@@Quotenwagnerianer Yea I understand but then you will not be able to play the game after like do the side stuff because his dead
@@rykvanvelden3336 Which is something I'd actually have prefered. I don't like this game mechanic of open world, where you can continue exploring after finishing the main story. I prefer a more closed narrative where you can't continue certain subplots or explorations as soon as you reach a point in the main story where it wouldn't make any further sense to do so.
The Witcher 3, as awesome as it was, suffered from that as well. You were supposed to find Ciri before the Wild Hunt did, yet you were constantly able to get sidetracked without punishment.
@@Quotenwagnerianer Otherwise they should make you unlock the final mission after completing every other mission
@@Quotenwagnerianer you mean like Yakuza series
So sparing him made the most sense cause Jin does not abide by the honor code anymore, but more so because if you remember correctly Sensei Ishikawa told Jin to not make the same mistake as him. He told him that family is more important
Killing him made the most sense because he's going to be forced into harakai by the shogunate for failing his duty, dishonering him further
@@I_Just_Like_Neat_Stuff Again he doesn't abide by honor anymore and now that he's the Ghost he does what he wants and I know he does not want to kill his own family and he's ready to face those consequences. Sparing him made more sense
@@gamingmyst6968 It makes sense on a sentimental level to kill Shimura. Sure Jin can care about his family enough not to kill them. But he can also give his uncle the death he wants. To die at the hands on his adoptive son instead of some far off shogunate who will be toppled in less than a hundred years anyway. It makes sense to honor your adoptive father's wish one last time.
@@I_Just_Like_Neat_Stuff I also understand that but it's better to know that he's alive and well so he can be able to start new family himself and be happy again even at the cost of being hunted forever by him.
@@I_Just_Like_Neat_Stuff The shogun won't kill Shimura just because he failed tho, they're samurai with honor not savages. Maybe they'll punish him some other way but not by death and even if he does at least it wasn't by Jin's hands, so that won't haunt him for the rest of his days.
You are one of the few women who chose the "bad ending", I respect you for that.
I don't think that's the bad ending. This was in the 13th century so if jin let his uncle lived the shogun will make him commit seppuku anyways because of his failure of stopping the ghost. I think it's best for Lord shimura to die while in the hands of a family member rather that slitting his own belly alone
Plus if you choose the other option of sparing your uncle, he will call you the "Ghost" while in this ending he calls you his own "Son"
@@baffled_hawk I agree. Good ending doesn't always mean everyone lives. Understand the emotions. It is better this way. Besides, he does this honourable deed as a final reminder of who he was. He can now accept the Ghost.
I think it's the right ending... it felt right to me.
Its not bad tbh.
So I will admit one thing. To everyone who played the game was anyone suspicious of the circumstances behind Jin's father's death? A great samurai like him can't be killed off by a simple bandit. A theory I had was that since Yuriko mentioned that Shimura and Jin's father argued pretty often that what if he hired the bandits to kill Jin's father so he could steal his heir? But that theory was put to rest for me since I doubt Lord Shimura would do such a dirty thing
Maybe the bandits outnumbered him
@@dermitdendreir Jin's father helped put down the Yarikawa rebellion. This could have been a retaliatory attack after the rebellion was finished. They do say that Yarikawa hates Clans Sakai and Shimura.
Yarikawa samurai was really strong, according to in-game dialogs, so it kinda made sense.
@@exz2005 I c, thx.
Probably Yarikawa
The Kahn was eating sticky bombs for days during my final fight with him. lol. Overall I thought the game was awesome. Definite game of the year candidate.
neckbeard
You made a decision that I think is right and difficult. I really admire this because I made another.
A good story is that even if you predict, you will still be touched.
If you find out, you will notice that the uncle suppressed emotions almost throughout the story, except at the end...
The truth samurai!
Girl, you should finish the main characters' side missions, you're really missing out on alot, especially with Yuriko's final side mission.
The Angry Joes of the world mistake stoicism with a lack of personality.
Jin is one of the deepest characters in video games. I think some Westerners are unfamiliar with the way Japanese express themselves.
@@Sepia1989 There's even people who didn't like Aidan Pierce in Watch_Dogs for how neo noir it is.
They misunderstood the reason behind it. Since the classic movies had the same type of dialogue and expression. But who cares?
Wasnt it mentioned by Shinura that a Samurai musnt be to emotional or something?
@@Hugulubugulu Kind of. But more in the sense if not letting emotions guide your actions.
Watched all your let’s play of Ghost of Tsushima and subscribed. This is the TH-camr we need, who gets really invested into the story.
Honestly both the endings were amazing. I chose to spare him personally. It really depends what your interpretation of Jins emotions were in the moment. I spared Shimura because Jin could not lose any more of his family. He already killed his father once, and he was not going to do it again. I also did it as an act of defiance against the Samurai code and his line perfectly summarises that "I have no honour, but I will not kill my family". As if killing your family is an honourable thing to do. Further showing how backwards the way of the Samurai is.
i spared him cause i could, without the so called "Honor" the ghost can do the right thing
Normally I will never watch play throughs with commentary. But I enjoy yours, I like your cheerful and sometimes funny play. It is somehow less distracting to me than the others. Thanks.
I chose the same ending as you, and looked up the alternate one afterwards, and I didn't regret choosing to honour (hah) the uncle's wish. I felt way more impactful and the acting was just so heartwrenchingly good.
I picked it for pretty much the same reasons as you
The kill ending was way more impactful than the spare ending. And when the music hits... A perfect crescendo from Sucker Punch.
You caused me to shed a tear to Great story by Sucker punch. Great play by you. I enjoyed it. See on the next one. Bye.
I spared him and it does not hit you in the feels like this ending at all
As someone who 100% the game (artifacts, records, etc.) and plans to do a 2nd playthrough on the new lethal difficulty. I have to say I believe this is GOTY. As soon as you take back Castle Kaneda the game gets so much better. I honestly got emotional when my horse died and when I had to fight Shimura and I spared Shimura because he's Jin's only family and the whole point of Jin becoming The Ghost is him losing any bit of honor he has in him and accepting the burden of The Ghost and his new persona. I think sparing Shimura is the canon ending, but I'm not too sure, could be wrong. Everything about this game is great, it isn't perfect, no game is perfect, but if this doesn't get GOTY I will be disappointed.
My thought process was the new samurai needed a leader to lead the fight against the mongols and Shimura wanted to start a new family he said. I already betrayed Shimura, no honor like Jin said I would not kill the only family he had left
53:19 This is tricky and took a bit of thinking, but I personally think you made the right choice killing him. Walking away should've proven to Shimura that you are the honorless traitor the Shogun branded you to be. HOWEVER, giving him a warrior's death is proof that he didn't fail you, even if you're no longer a Samurai.
You were so cute when you cried lol, I just wanted to hug u.
Great reaction to the ending. You where really into this game. I really loved it too. Thank you to SP! What a game!
No the Khan is badass, and he was pissed off. You were just too strong for him lol. Those were some great moves in there, been fun watching your videos!
I chose the Spare option because it made the most sense to me. By killing his uncle it shows Jin is still bound and enslaved by the Samurai Code while sparing him shows Jin has embraced the Ghost within. To Jin, family was always more important than some code of honor so why would Jin place honor above his family’s life now after everything he went through? That’s just how I see it but I love both endings, this one was sad but good too.
After watching someone else play through the game, I thought the exact same thing after the ending. The line he says to Shimura when he spares him sums up his actions throughout the game.
Jin has chosen the path of the "Ghost". While Shimura is still bound to honor and believes that he must kill Jin, Jin is able to refuse to kill because he is no longer samurai.
The line he says is so amazingly written - "I have no honor, but I will not kill my family". You would think that he would say "and/so I will not kill my family", but no, he uses "but". He is basically saying that killing his uncle is not honorable. Technically it is honorable according to Samurai code. But, Jin now clearly believes that Samurai honor is no honor at all.
It could be that he just gave him what he wished.
@@pcj27 But the point is not what Jin is. It is about what Shimura is. And Jin still loves his Uncle, that he would honour him according to the way he is supposed to.
And Jin said, he wanted to leave the Ghost behind him after the war was over, earlier in the story.
the issue is for his failure Shimura would end up having to commit suicide before the shogun, i felt honouring him with a warriors death was better
Henlo! This is the first of your lets play ive watched and i was like "WOW THIS GIRL IS GOOD"
Please play more games. Love your gameplay, and your commentaries. >w
Found the Kahn surprisingly easy to defeat, didnt feel like a big boss fight. Even Ryuzo was more difficult😂
StevenDC010 play it on hard or lethal
Sameee Lord Shimura too, but Ryuzo still harder
Lord shimura and the demon kenshi were 10 times harder than khotun
play it on hard
I played on hard from the start and Khan still easy, 6 swords Kojiro is the hardest took me 10+ tries.
This game is indeed MASTERPIECE. Game Of The Year.👏 I say what i said.
And i second your opinion, bro
You're factually incorrect bro
Ghost of Tsushima should have won game of the year in 2020..
@@aaaaaaaaaaaadddd Fact bro😪
I always spare so Lord Shimura has to live with his guilt! Plus I'm good enough to avoid whomever he sends after me :) Loved this playthrough series! Would love to see you tackle the DLC!
13:33 Hey! He showed up 😄😄👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I watched Staycation play it as well. The fact u both are asian and have such sentimental feelings towards the creators of the game and respect for them is great!
One of the developers at Sucker Punch has said that sparing the uncle is the Canon ending.
I spared him he's the ghost the way of the samurai is no more.
That’s what I said I was already the ghost I’m not gonna kill family I have no honor bc I’m not samurai
And by doing so bringing dishonor to shimura. The shogunate would have made him commit sepuku.
Sparing shimura is like spitting in his face imo
bad ending : The death of lord shimura
Good ending : The death of Jin Sakai
This ending feels more true to the story. It is mirrored by the side stories, which deal with topics of loss and loneliness . And any ending that can make me cry my heart out, has to be what was intended. It seems I cried several times during this game. It is truly an awesome game.
27:53 YES JIN!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Both endings are beautiful Jin spares his life showing how much he cares about him and how he’s not a bad guy and the other he honors his uncle and frees him from all the stress and promises him to make sure he is remembered.
omg I just realized that the different colored armor refers to which choice you made because the white armor was on the left side of the screen where white leaves were falling while the red armor was on the right side where red leaves were falling. (also the leaves covering the ground while they were fighting looked like the yin yang symbol which I at least found to be very symbolic)
Also their clothes at zhe grave. Jin wearing black, his uncle wearing white.
I subbed just from watching this part alone. I beat the game last night and chose the same ending, it hit me pretty hard man. I feel this is the ending, such a sad yet beautiful ending. The song is so good, just can’t say enough about this game. Sucker Punch, you have found a big place in my heart for this game. I plan to buy more games from them! Fantastic game! 10/10 goty
Got teary eyed from the haiku onwards, in my 15 years of gaming I’ve never been so emotional over game❤️
A point of significance too: when they draw against one another they both drop their scabbards to the ground. That can mean a number of things, depending on the swordsman's state of mind. But here, I'm sure it means both are ready for death. Historically this game has been kind of all over the map, but this little touch here was brilliant.
Find me in the next life ......
he knows Jin is honorable and he knows his son and him will meet again in spirit.
I love this game so much I'd watch your playthroughs again, and I'd choose to spare Shimura bc in the end, Family is the righteous cause above all else, and a path that doesn't sacrifice any more lives. This is a good, unhappy ending but the killing option isn't bad either, retaining some sense of honor but at the same time it shows how he's looming over the past than looking forth to tomorrow. The point is if you won't do it for honor then do it for love.
After watching multiple reactions, This is the best ending reaction ever. ❤❤❤
The ending leaves colour indicate the decision choice to be made; white - Samurai, red - Ghost
Aw Jess, it's so sweet how deeply you feel these high emotional moments.
I think the most sad thing is that the bad/good ending can be reflected in where Jin decides to make his new home. In the "bad" ending, he ends up in Dawn Refuge, which is a place ridden of life, and filled with bad storms. In the "good" ending, he ends up in Tradition's End, which is filled with life, and clear skies.
Jin already chose the "no honor" Ghost path. He redefined honor. Samurais like Jin's dad slaughtered thousands of innocent lives in the name of honor, just shows that Samurai honor doesn't mean moral. Since jin already abandoned the code, why would he snap back to it and kill the one that raised him? The Ghost would never do such a thing. He said "I have no honor, but I will not kill my own family" and puts on the ghost mask to embrace this identity and path. That is the correct ending that fit his character
Seeing Shimura at 46:00 really got to me when I played this.
Best breather for the year 2020. On my 3rd playthrough.
Soldiers rarely let out cries unless it’s sudden but Jin’s on this is premeditated you can tell he died with his uncle that day.
The music really is great imo
This scene broke my heart even watching this makes me cry 😭😭😭
I...really loved this game more than I thought I would at the beginning. Pure. Genius.
For the record, Jessica, heat wave or not I think you look beautiful. Nothing to apologize for. 😊
Another awesome gameplay
I did the Kill choice because I was like when I was playing it "Oh heck nah im gonna kill him bc of the shogun and he will probably anyway bleed out and its his last wish so I MUST" it also almost made me cry😭
MASTERPIECE of a game. Just beat it last night and so close to platnium :).
I always wondered when these epic fights arise, do you ever think some guy with a caravan just passes by and is like "tha fuck?"
jesus i was nondering how tf she did not die from that 3 hit combo lmao, she playin on normal i think. so used to playing on hard that this just looked too easy. not tryna sound like im braging or anything, but godamn. i would do the same if i was not so damn into pissing myself off with difficult games lmao.. awesome videos btw agirlandagame!! watched the series as soon as i finished mine, and it went just as fast as playing it myself. left here wondering what to do with my life no.. lol
I didn't kill him, let him live, he can start a family, and you operate from the shadows, on the run... Happy with that ending.
Unfortunately, he couldn't do all of those without the Ghost's head. Without it, he will be deemed as a failure and will be demoted, or worse, executed/forced to commit seppuku.
The Jitto unable or unwilling to perform a direct order from the Shogun himself.. That would end with a second letter, commanding him to take his own life. If he didn't already did it on his own accord...
He said that starting a new family could only happen if he kills Jin.
Jin betrayed him by being the ghost and broke his promise
Jin and Yuna don't know how to talk about their feelings for each other. Hope they can work it out. okay maybe in fanfiction hahah
I haven't watched the whole playthrough, but I wanted to ask if she included the minor character (Masako, Ishikawa, Kenji, Norio) side quests in the videos, or played them offline. Does anyone know?
Oh my goodness 😭😭
Love your gameplays. Hope you do a playthrough of this game.
Regardless of killing him or not "The Ghost will be hunted for the rest of his days" is a true statement, sparing him or not, the consequences for doing his ways away from the code will still go against Jin's favour from the mainland Shoguns even after all that he accomplished they will never respect him because it does not honor the samurai's code even though he saved many lives. The choice to killing uncle in my eyes was just to respect his wish rather than a warrior's death because that is not what he is asking for, a warrior's death by your own family, Jin was basically like a son to him is no warrior's death. Personally I viewed it as his uncle is only running away because of how emotionally and mentally conflicted he really is because his supposed to be son that will carry on his legacy did not go along with his desires and beliefs in the end but there is also nothing wrong with that. Jin made a "choice" to change even if it means to go against those morals/beliefs he grew up into, just to save everyone that he cares for and for those he met along the way.
I spared him but I think both ending is valid to each their own, it's just that with Jin's character progression and how he changed and adapt as a person away from the constraint and all that he abide his life to for the way of the samurai. Will killing uncle really change anything other than for honoring his wish and the pride of the samurai code? regardless good or bad Jin will forever remain the two side of the coin " The Ghost and the The Samurai" He has become a new breed someone who adapts with changes of the world to protect those who he cares for, why must there be senseless sacrifices if there is another way around it to be victorious while minimising losses.
Jin's uncle deeply cares for him I don't think he will commit a seppuku, It was a duel that neither of them wanted in the first place Jin's character was no longer constraint with the samurai's way of thinking. Lord Shimura also could have just reported to the shogun that he failed to find the whereabouts of Jin, he can no longer be found after the final battle with the khan. Remember a lot of people in the island still don't even know who the ghost is let alone the shogun and people of the mainland they don't even know what Jin sakai looks like, with the time period of this game was set in and throughout my playthrough how the culture of japan was during those timeline people relied heavily on superstitious beliefs/rumors.
I really love this game I hope everyone had a fantastic time with Ghost of Tsushima! I believe we will get a sequel or a dlc would be great too with a plot that will lead to a sequel in the future, Jin talks about dealing with the remaining mongols after talk with Yuna at the end but also mentions dealing the Shogun?!?!?!?
You did the right thing at the end. This game is so good. They should make part 2 where jin goes to mainland or even china? That would be awesome. Best defense is sometimes offense. Jin is the founder of ninja sect it see. Maybe jin will save the shogun and his family cause there was a ninja who saved shoguns family in real life if I am not wrong. Ninjas came later when samurai system was already established .so it fits and shogun also had their own ninjas under them so who knows. Waiting for part 2
Can't blame Jin's uncle for wanting a warrior's death cause of the code of the samurai
Great playthrough Jess as always. I enjoyed it. Might pick this game myself
Awesome
This game is my all time favourite game of all time master peace ghost of tsushima legendary game
I too killed him off. What people don't understand is the Bushido code and what it means to live your entire life by it. I myself can't fully understand it, to its deepest meanings, since I wasn't raised like that, but I know enough to understand the *motivations* behind the choices the characters make and yes as you said: that was the only way for them to have some closure, there was no other way. For a samurai honor was the most important thing, it's above everything else, and it's well worth dying for no matter who your killer was.
To survive a honorable fight to the death because your opponent had mercy, pity of you, was the biggest shame a warrior could wear in those times.
The beauty narrator . . I can't focus on the movie ..
Uncle Shimura was too much like a Father i could'nt kill him.
I can’t believe you killed him with honour
She did absolutely the right thing. I wanted the uncle to live so badly. He was Jin's father, but then he fought you because honor was more important to him than his son. And his own life. It is for him that you killed him. He would be dead to you anyway after this and the Shogun would deman Sepuku from him. You honored him by a warrior's death. This should be the canon ending.
The game creators flat out said that "spare" was the canon ending. At least in the death ending, they reconciled to some degree. But if you spare him, you leave your uncle totally heartbroken and at the mercy of the shogun.
This game was incredible. Very well done game and playthrough. Unquestionably my game of the year
I chose to kill Shimura too because he says "I can't fail the shogun" in the fight and that made me think that if he went back without the ghosts head he'd be killed anyway
Kill him: become his son and stay in the shogun but not as a main fighter
Let him live: become the ghost and become a myth and let him go
You're lucky you have more things you can do by the time I got up to Khan I had finished every side quest lol and I also chose the kill ending but I honestly liked both endings
He asked for the warriors death... so I gave it to him.
I chose the same ending as you, it is really sad, but I feel it does fit better than the other ending. This game was absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to see what sucker punch does next. Don't know if this cracked my top 10 games, but it's definitely up there and by far the best game this year so far imo
Jin's character arc points to the Spare ending but personally I'd give him the honor of a warrior's death. The Shogun would've demanded him to commit suicide otherwise anyway.
God I want a sequel already.
Its such a beautiful game I also cried
You made the right choice for the right reasons. The other ending doesn't have the same impact or music playing as it fades to credits.
Sequel Idea Jin disappears from Japan all together with his ghost army to found the league of shadows. Except in this universe there is no batman to stop them.
I think both ending had its own good and bads, at first i went with the letting him live ending but after thinking about it in the credits, remmeber jin says that his head is the cost for shimura to starta new family, he fails that task, he would have to commit seppuku for failing the shogun. ( OR have his rights to remarry revoked because he still stopped the invasion of the mainland and he'd probably commit seppuku anyways after that ) so i went back and honored him :( plus he calls you his son and ask for you to find him in the next life, that hits.
also, if you kill him, he will be remembered as a honorable samurai who died fighting for tsushima and the shogun. If he lives, he will forever be taunted with the fact, he failed as a father and a samurai that failed the shogun.
There is a white dye merchant in the middle of the first region, next to a bamboo strike on a mountain.
17:34 Oooh here we go 😁😁😁😁
Oml we did the exact same haiku with borderline the same reactions.
OMG! you didnt finish yurikos sidequest? D: its by far the saddest story of the game. it got me even more emotional than the actual ending.
40 years old, grown man and cried like baby watching the Lion King scene during the kill ending...
Just masterpiece. The way they directed the third act and ending was just devastating and will be remember forever.
GOTY 2020! No competition.
