About Video Game Sophistry:
Video Game Sophistry is an opportunity to celebrate the creators and the artistry found in Video Games. I believe that Games are the most effective medium from experiencing another world, and another way to live. Expect to see a series of videos showcasing the narratives hidden in every game, interviews with game developers, along with our bench mark weekly podcast, Dialogue Wheel.
Andy Borkowski started this program nearly 10 years ago and, in that time, it has changed from a simple TH-cam show, to a radio show, a TV show and now once again a TH-cam destination. Welcome to VGS.

The guy who plays Norio is a friend of a friend. He's a super cool guy and had nothing but good things to say about his experience working on it.
Damn I was shooked that Norio was able to destroy an entire fort and burned all the mongols mercilessly by himself. To think that he was a kind hearted warrior monk when you first met him. Finding out about the horrible truth about his brother's fate broke him and made him ruthless
You're shocked yet we've been doing literally just that the entire game.
Carmen Sandiego yeah but we have smoke bombs and shit idiot. He’s a monk all he has is his weapon and a torch.
@@ThatGuy-cr1ly gee thanks for the insight Captain Obvious.
Carmen Sandiego yeah and apparently you couldn’t understand that
@@ThatGuy-cr1ly ever heard of something called a joke?
Norio is one of those unforgettable characters in video game history. Like when I first saw this dude he looked like Chien Po from Mulan. The people who made this game are so creative and talented on creating characters like Norio and Jin and Taka and Yuri. This game is a bitter sweet end to the last PlayStation exclusive to ps4
Chien po yeah I remember that guy.
norio's quest made me hate the mongols more...they've broke my dude who is the kindest man in the game.😭
Wise men fear three things. A moonless night, a storm at sea, and the wrath of a kind man.
@@gasmonkey1000 why a moonless night?
@@jrob4795 The idea is that there's no moonlight and so one can't see so well. I think. I didn't come up with the quote. I think it's from the Kingslayer series
@@jrob4795 Kingkiller Chronicles, nevermind
@@gasmonkey1000 Oh ok, makes sense.
The companions are low-key one of the strongest points of the game.
They all feel human, broken and flawed.
They really did their research on the Buddhist faith in Japan. Rather than a lot of western interpretations of it, GoT showcases the fact that Japan's form of Buddhism was mainly Pure Land Buddhism which idolized the specific Buddha, Amitabha Buddha (the most revered buddha still today)
I believe this was called Jodo Shinshu Buddhism, the Ikko Ikki's religion. This rebellion here is who gave Oda a hard time when he is sieging Ishiyama Hongan-ji.
@@earvindinoso7689You're absolutely correct
can u please explain more, what is land buddhism? whats the difference between zen buddhism.
The characters in this story all have even/equal strong backbone (a bit more or less)
Well I think norio became the "corrupted monk" and was infested by a big ass centipede...
@@vedicmetalhead1029 sekiro reference ?
Enjo's reveal has to be one of the most heartbreaking moment in the game. I thought he was dead, but nooooo, it is so goddamn worse and Norio has to kill his own brother.
The moment Norio went mad, i thought i have to fight and kill him... luckily, i dont have to.
What made it worse is that we slept thru the hole final act. He wiped out the heavily fortified base by himself in the most brutal of fashion and we didn’t even have to lift a single finger. We’re the op protagonist we’re supposed to do that not a kind hearted monk npc
@@kevind3974 it's always the kind ones you have to look out for.
The moment that Norio was plotting to destroy the fort, there was a dialog option of Jin telling him that revenge will only bring him to a darker path.
@@maning04 "To be like what? You?"
That hurts, Norio.
@@MenrvaS Stings especially after just finishing Masako's storyline, where we saw it unfold firsthand in someone else.
Monk: world peace
Monk at war: Peace not the only option
@Magne M You're justifying genocide against the Rohingya. Pathetic
@Magne M Really dude! You are quoting a terrorist???
@@WONGANIME When did saving people became terrorist a terrorist thing.....
@Magne M Couldn't agree more....
@@KaeshurDemon The same Rohingya who are killing buddhist people in many countries....???
damn, every character here either becomes broken or dies.
Sounds like germanic folklore :D
Straight up. The least affected person was Kenji, and even he was affected by Taka's death.
Sensei Ishikawa's story ends a bit better. He doesn't really agree with letting Tomoe go after she abused his teachings but he ends up making peace with it and moving on. And he ends up taking Jin as his student so there's still hope his style of archery will live on.
@@evenflowcss his voice cracks
Such is war
I love it in the intro where legit nobody is scared and is super chill about jin assassinating the mongols
Okay, Norio might have gone just a little bit mad.
He was slightly annoyed.
Can you blame him tho
I would too if someone maimed my family
Just a wee bit
And I thought Lady Masako was filled with rage. She never enjoyed taking revenge.
I loved this man right here. Norio was such a great character. Really showed that there's darkness even in the brightest of us. He went ballistic on them.
The ost when you’re ride in & the people are cheering you on always gives me chills
I can't blame him for feeling like this...Rage.
The most thing I love about this game other than the breathtaking scenery, is how well written and multi-dimensional characters are (both main and side). It makes you connect and relate to most of them. Even the villain had an aura around him, is ruthless yet cunning and scary which I find lacking in most villains in modern entertainment (a lot of them are just bad, but that’s it. Kind of cartoony, there’s no depth to the characters).
I love how realistic and creative the writing in GoT is, all of the characters become either morally gray or dark as that’s the effect of war and its crimes did to people. Norio was the kindest character beside Taka, yet because of what the Mongols did to his brother he became a beast. I was really surprised when he burned the camp and killed all those Mongols all by himself and without any help (was afraid we’d find him dead but am glad that he didn’t die or get wounded).
Fun fact - Kharchu last words were actually “You Do Not Have The Courage To Do It” and then a howl of pain.
Honest to god, my jaw dropped when we saw Enjo, and I felt kind sick afterwards
Same honestly. I thought burning to death would br a fate worst than death, but after seeing Enjo's state... damn.
Honestly would’ve been better for both Norio and Enjo if Enjo was dead because what Enjo went through was so so so much worse than death
I ran into him again after beating the game, cant talk to him at all. I had gone to liberate the map which I found very fun and quick to do since I had plenty of experience.
Where did you find him?
@@tacticalcow9008 Back at one of his monk temple spots. I think the first one we went to after meeting him.
@@axx012 k thanks
Damn, they really know how to show the conflict between faith and reality, I like it. tlou2 just don't have this thing
I mean like when Abby want to kill Joel or Ellie try to kill Abby at the end.
Guresu Ko Ken Masako’s 8 side quests basically tells TLOU2 story but better
tlou2 was garb
@@guresukoken5397 tlou2 had nothing on this game
Tlou2 is just a worse version of John Wick
I was shocked, but hella proud after seeing the camp on fire.
Why am I felt shaken at Norio burning the whole fort killing the Mongols while You (Jin) Basically does this all the game.
Jin was always a warrior, even as a samurai he was a fighter, a killer, that's what he does. Norio is a good man, much more pure than Jin was, as a ghost or samurai, to see such a man do something like this is strange indeed.
@@bloodangel19 also the fact that norio admits he learned from jin, that just makes it so much worse
And the fact that the game subvert your expectation in this mission. They talk about Kharchu, then the fort, everything is leading up to the same as all other mission you do, go assault a fort and kill the leader. But then at the last minute it subvert your expectation, you don't have to lift a finger, only there to see the carnage.
Man... that poor enjo ...
Never provoke a Peaceful man in a Fight
Don't make the quiet kid angry, I'm serious
9:51
Looked like Jin pulled the monk out of the way to save him from the spearman.
Everything is gloomy and in melancholy then you saw the Mask.
Furry Jin
13:55 - *when you realize why you don’t piss off the quiet kid in class*
Norio revenge made ghost more worried. War, war change man become something else
The situation like this were even more in Sengoku Jidai
Why did they make the naginata's so much curvier then they should be
I would love to see the Middle Eastern version of this. When the Mondale invade golden age Mesopotamia (Iraq), imagine being able the play as the old school hadassin ( assassin)
Hassan I sabbah?
SummonerBraddy SG martyrs
KimJongWins assassin’s creed...
@@timotron100 he probably something realistic and somewhat accurate but that's neigh impossible considering there's barely any information concerning the assassins of hasan-i
Timothy Lee assassins creed a very loose European interpretation of the event
Enjo showing the lengths a sibling will go to save another
Jin: slaughters mongols without hesitation.
Nearby NPCS: I sleep.
Enjo the Guardian = guardian angel. Is this an easter egg or just my imagination?
And thank you VGS for posting side quests' videos, I've watched them all :)
When I did this for first time I was so nervous I was gonna have to kill or atleadt fight him didnt want that at all glad he's alive
This game is god tier in characters creation. The characters journey from start to the end of game, the way they developed and changed by the war is so well writen. Jin, Norio, Masako are my favourite.
wow. Mongols were really sadistic when they cut off the limbs of Norio's brother! I wonder if the videogame makers were inspired by a similar event done to a guy caught stealing by the mob in the graphic novel "A History of Violence". The guy also had his eyes gorged out & hung in a harness to be mutilated for 20 more years.
The Mongol invaders in the actual First Invasion of Tsushima, if I remember correctly, would string wire through the hands of their captives and use them as human shields against the Japanese. I also kinda remember they hung them from their ships with wire through their hands as well, but my memory is a bit shoddy (bad) at times.
Mongols are scarier than the mob
@@thefriendlyfool They absolutely did. The Mongols made very effective use of terror as a weapon.
Necrontyr wow hey were savages!
Unless you surrendered, then they wouldn't do anything to you.
Norio would have killed Abby HAHAHA.
My man, he would destroy her friends by burning them alone.
Every character in this game would kill Abby, even Taka.
Even Kage?
@@phillip9798 Even Sora, Nobu and Kaze
@@jacket6213 yes
man I thought this was gonna be like Masako and be like "oh shit am I gonna have to duel this dude too?"
game's like nah bro...
I wish Norio was a playable character.
I remember being dumbfounded when I saw the fires and a mongol on fire. I thought Norio was in trouble but then the aftermath made it clear
To think that a lone monk with a spear could shred an entire mongol camp and set their leader aflame… sheesh. What a madman
19:31 "U dO nOt HaVe ThE cOuRaGe To Do It."
*gets burned alive a second later*
Norio did my job better than me
Did I mess up can’t get him to stop walking
Jins acting like hes better than norio even though later on jin would poison the mongols and slice off their heads
He said he was trying to stop him from becoming like him
Too sad the sohei became outlawed... Japan (and the world) could surely benefit from their philosophy and lifestyle today...
There could have been a boss fight against either Norio or Kharchu
They look like Shaolin monks Japanese Monks usually wear Black Robes
these are kamakura era buddhist warrior monks
Yeahhhhh Jins the last guy who should judgmental about revenge
Is it me or where there 2 version of tale 9 available. One located in Guardian's Ridge labeled "This Threefold World" and another in Cedar Temple. I didn't get the name of it, thinking it be available after I completed this one, but now its gone.
The historical background depicted in this game is inaccurate. For example, the Japanese soldiers' armor and costumes and Japanese building in this game are from the late 16th century, not the late 13th century (at the time of the Mongol invasion). Westerners like the word "samurai", but in Japan at that time, it was more popular to call it "bushi", "buke", "bujin", "bumon" instead of "samurai". In addition, "bushi (samurai)", which has a master-slave relationship with the "Kamakura-dono(Kamakura Shogunate)", was called "Gokenin".
If you play the game in Japanese they use era appropriate terms such as Tachi,Bushi and others. The armour and the buildings are done so on purpose due to an aesthetic feel. There still are O Yoroi type armours in the game and btw, It isn't Kamakura Dono- it's Kamakura Bakufu
the haiku also did not exist during the first mongol invasion, but it is something that can be done in the game
it is like this by design
the objective of the game was to create the best samurai fantasy game
so it had to fit people's ideas of what samurai were like, or how they looked, even if it would not be period appropriate
it was all to contribute towards the image and aesthetic the game wanted to create, and it does it well
it is not entirely accurate, but some things can be sacrificed for the sake of art
No one gives one. shut up
well..can’t blame norio. dude’s brother legs and arm was cut off and left to die. I’d be pissed like him too if someone did that to my family.
In this quest where you ride from the cemetery it always bugs for me and teleports me to the Mongol catapult 300 metters away I tryed to restart PS but it still happens any idea how to fix it ?
is Jin able to use the sword on his back as a backup and is dual wield available
nope
@@MrJustin1232000 thanks so much so what is the sword for then decoration lol
@@exp_6752 One sword is his Katana that he uses to fight with the Samurai-way, the other "sword" (more like a big knife) is actually a Tanto that he uses to assassinate people.
@@elisabeth4615 appreciate the feedback just thought you could use the sword that he carries on his back which would have been cool he'd do alot of damage if the game allowed dual wielding
@@elisabeth4615 he has 3 swords. The two usable are on his hip while there an unusable one on hisright shoulder
I thought Masako had the most painful ending to her side story and then I played this and wow this was so much worse…
21:52.. Where to find him at this place?
I can't search it
Norio but it’s 2020
So wait are Norio and his monks Sōhei?
Yes! They are those they are different to the Sengoku Era Sohei
Buddhist monks are nice...... until they are not
You done fucked up then
. Naginata is badass
"Move on"
Where’d you find that outfit?
This is called the ghost outfit you will get it around the ending of act II. It is connected to the main story you cannot miss it. Oh and its colored yellow it's black by default.
Kiss Dezső yeah I got the outfit but I don’t have that cape 🤔
@@alphaj4432 you will have to upgrade it.
Kiss Dezső oh shit 😂 fr 🤦🏻♂️
Самураи🇯🇵⚔Батыры🇲🇳
are there no choice and consequence at all?
Only the ending
That shit looks cold af and wet.
Why him and Lady Masako both had family alive that we did not know about
Is that Sekiro’s armor?
The Ghost armor yellow dye
where are the ninjas?
Jin and Yuna are the only "ninjas"
Narios quest made me quit the game.
Such a deep artistic philosophical game
