Miyamoto Musashi would have been in his twenties around 1603 when this is set. He was a ronin that developed a duel wielding sword style. It would be awesome if they put a cameo of him in the game.
As much as i want him to make an appearance, i believe he was in kumamoto. Which is in the opposite end of the country of japan. So i think it would difficult for them to just pluck him out of there. I would still be ecstatic to see him thou😃
@@purudhawan8058 I have no idea where he was during this time but when the video started talking about duel wielding, ronin, and the early 1600's it seems like too good of an opportunity to pass up.
Anachronism and anatopism may be necessary to include Musashi in any notable role. He's too young at this point at 19-20 yrs old and still running around dueling people way down to the south (~2000km), likely not even dual wielding yet.
Some bullet points I want to go over with the with the information we got for Ghost of Yotei 1) The time period of the sequel is set in 1603, which is the beginning of the Edo period. Japan had literally just gotten out of the Sengoku period, where ever lord of clan went to war for power. This could be a huge aspect of story as the change to the class system has just started in this age. Also because of the peace brought by the Shogun, this also became the age of the Ronin, where masterless samurai became bandits and highwaymen, which could also be a a main point in the story. 2) The settings of the Ghost 2 is Mt Yotei which located in the heart of the Ezo province, which is modern day Hokkaido. From what I could gather of Hokkaido in this age, the prefecture was not a big fan of the new shogunate. Mainly because Hokkaido was populated by the natives of Ezo called Ainu, who did not like mainland Japanese because of discrimination. (Which modern Ainu still face today) This could be a focal point in the game where Atsu might run into trouble for possible being a mainlander. Another fact is that Hokkaido was not a prefecture at this time, but considered a colony. Which means that the land of Yotei being lawless and home to abundant of Ronin may not be as historically accurate, but given the state of the area it's not impossible to imagine it not to be. Also in 1604 the Shogun granted the Matsumae clan dominion over the Ezo and exclusive trade right with the Ainu. Given that the game takes place a year before that, we could probably see how the Matsumae clan rise to power as a game plot point. 3) Atsu is the new Ghost in the Ghost of Yotei. Whether she is just a random person who picked up the mantle or a descendent of Jin Sakai remains to be seen (personally I am hoping for the latter). It also looks like she uses the Ghost title to be a ronin bounty hunter. It's an interesting choice since you don't hear a lot about female ronin in this time period. 4) The arsenal of the Ghost is expanded upon in the game. Not only will Atsu wield a set of Katana, but also a kusarigama, sickle and chain club, and a arquebus, a matchlock long rifle. It also looks like that Atsu will have a shamisen, a Japanese three string guitar. Whether this is just like Jin's flute or has some other purpose remains to be seen. Either way I can't wait to see more and play this game.
not the eighteenth worrier, but her age being 28 or 9 years old last seen near mount Yote anyone who brings her head will be awarded with a hundred pounds (of unspecified currency)
@@incorrupti3557 You sir, are a man of culture. And I don't mean that as a joke. Not many people make that referrence to that Jidaigeki story Lady Snowblood. You have my respect.
@@Geekoo85It seems most gamers haven’t really experienced Japanese cinema. I’ve been telling people about this for a while now😂 Zatoichi the blind swordsman, Lonewolf and cub the baby cart series with Itto was a great series of films. I still have the DVDs. I really hope there’s an opportunity to use that shamisen (if you know what I mean) in a performer / geisha scene.
correct me if im wrong but i believe the “western” genre was largely influenced by Akira Kurosawa movies, so i think the tone of this game seems to be more kurosawa than western
The game clearly has a western vibe to it. The vast vistas with multiple horses, the music, the lawlessness of the land, the Ainu are basically the Japanese equivalent of Native Americans.
This trailer gives me Lady Snowblood, Female Prisoner Scorpion, Princess Monenoke, and Kill Bill vibes. With the slight western outlaw twang, it reminds me of The Devil Rides A Horse movie combined with the legendary Akira Kurosawa flavour. Definitely existed to play this.
I’m so excited for Ghost of Yotei. February I’ll be playing AC Shadows and then Yotei when it comes out. So excited for both. We don’t have enough Samurai and Shinobi games.
@@DanielPelikan-f1c who’s getting offended I’m clearly stating that you got offended that someone was happy to play a video game like oh no there shoot let me try to rain on there parade they know by now Ubisoft issues and controversies if they still want to play that’s there choice buddy
I'm missing Jin already but at the same time, I'm pretty intrigued with Sucker Punch having a new protagonist to give us a storyline for. I actually can admit that they've won my trust in the gaming industry where trust is precious.
Crazy to think that Ghost of Tsushima is chronologically just 7 years closer to Ghost of Yotei, than Ghost of Yotei is to the 2nd World War! Heck, Yotei is 18 years closer to WW1 than it is to Tsushima!
I know it's a long shot but I think that Jin would be a great great ancester to Otsu, which would give symbolism to the guiding winds or the wolf (maybe a dear friend she fought with). This would also play into her own family lineage and the friends she might be avenging. Also, there will be some Eurasia presence in the game due to the musket seen, it could work into the revenge she is looking for and set up the confrontations between the antagonists (maybe 5 or 6). Even if I'm wrong, this will be a great game, but it would be interesting to see how it plays out.
I pray they don't integrate modern day "messaging". Ghost of Tsushima was an amazing, self-contained story that somehow was not tainted by modern writing tropes. I am hopeful but it is hard not to think of Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West. The writing fell off so far it can be hard to believe the games were helmed by the same team. Sure, the graphics were amazing and the gameplay was fine but the writing was so horrible I could not finish the game. This is coming from someone who has Zero Dawn in their top 15 games of all time.
I hope every weapon has its own 4 stances. Katana could have dual weird as one of its stances although I would love it if both dual weird and single katana got 4 stances
Ok, I just watched the poster translation and agree that the "18th warrior" part lines up well with the underdog vengeance the PS Blog mentioned. The story could be as follows: A group of people banded together to destroy Atsu's Clan as a power grab, and they succeeded but somehow Atsu survived and as the last living member of her Clan she vowed to destroy the attackers. So the game will have us track down and eliminate these attackers who now probably have a lot more power and are fairly dangerous. Although, now that I think about it, this story does seem to be nearly identical to Sifu, so maybe they'll go a slightly different route. Another thought I had is that Atsu might be the 18th Ghost (not 18th warrior)
I've seen so many people upset that Jin isnt the main charcter again. I don't understand since is story seems to be complete. It's pretty clear after both ending that he obviously would get another game. I'm looking forward to more about Yotei in the coming months.
I think she left the Ronins, reason why she is hunted. She want to do good and save the region from the Ronins. Might she is also the grand grand grand daughter of Jin
Or she could be an Ainu. Yotei is on the island of Hokkaido where the Ainu lived and Ainu were hunters/huntresses and now she is becoming the hunted? I really wonder where they're going with this.
@@Geekoo85 Ethnic Japanese and Ainu don't like eachother. She could be the last of the Ainu hyperbolically speaking, being hunted by Japanese expansion? Or like you said left the Ronin
@@tommynobaka Well during the annexation of Hokkaido by the imperial government, many Ainu were pushed back and lost a lot of their land and people. So yeah, it could be a revenge story.
Historically speaking, Ronin were not a single group or faction. Ronin just meant Samurai without a master, sometimes even disconnected from their clan or family, so it's more or less just 'unemployed Samurai' or 'homeless Samurai', with a strong undertone of dishonor. It's somewhat similar to the term 'Outlaw' in the Wild West.
I find the mask intriguing. It looks like its been restored using the art of Kintsugi implying it could be very old. Maybe Jin's mask has been passed down from Ghost to Ghost over the years.
If they stick with the Ghost of (insert region) theme, I really hope they do a Ghost of Okinawa sometime in the future. That island is extremely rich with culture
@@m3lod552ghost of tsushima was made by westerners but Japan like basically endorsed the game saying how respectful of there culture it is. But I do agree we should keep all ghost games in Japan in some shape or form. I'm fine with maybe a dlc outside of Japan but not to far.
@Ghost_Void226 Some stuff was a bit overdone. Like Jin being kicked out because he used poisen. If it wins the regional leaders a war they would not shy away from using poisen. Same with the "killing from stealth is dishonorable for a Samurai". Great game, but certainly some very romanticised components. So I'm curious to see if thag one has arealistic reflection of what happened to the Ainu at the hands of Samurai.
I do have a theory : after being banned of tsushima, jin's family (with Yuna) "disappeared" to hokkaido, hence atsu is the descendant of Jin. Atsu kind of ressembles Yuna... I am very hyped for this game !
Only an assumption but the stances could be weapon based? Dual katanas is stone, single is water, wind might be the kusarigama and the moon stance could be a weapon we haven’t seen yet?
@@Se1fishbiscuityou would think right? Release it ahead of the hype for ghost before people are having to decide “do I want the new assassins creed this year? Or the sequel to a game many have been waiting on for a couple years now? Especially for full price, I already said long ago I’d buy AC shadows when it goes on sale I never planned on paying full price for it 😂 ghost though I’m definitely gonna try for a physical
Delay the game to release against Monster Hunter Wild? To release against this?....if it's not delayed it's gonna release in the same year as GTA6. Why would they do that? It's so dumb.
I think we're gonna see Jin's story in one of the Mythic Tales, and will get the Ghost Stance from said mythic tale. At least I hope that's what happens, lol. Also for the weapons and stances, I think there will be 4 like last time, and they were all shown in the teaser trailer. 1. Single blade (katana. 2. Dual wield (katana and wakizashi). 3. Kusarigama. 4. Rifle.
To be fair, I like Miles Morales more than the sequel. As a shorter game, it is much easier to digest and fully complete. This is why I replay it every year during the holidays! ❤ As for Ghost of Yotei, I think is a proper sequel. Hokkaido is a much bigger island compared to Tsushima.
maybe she's the 18th ghost? i mean jin was more influential than the jito at the end of the game so it isn't impossible that someone may have continued as the ghost
Do we think it’d be a bit much to expect stances with every melee weapon?. We see the kusarigama and the katana and the wakizashi, and I really hope that fire nodachi user was atsu that’d be so sick. I’m anticipating this for sure
I feel like with each game in the series it should always have the first ghost mask. Even if it looks beat up every new game for added effect is should under any circumstance be there
9:20 i have seen other videos of japanese people translating the wanted poster and the "18th warrior" line, actually reads something along the lines of "target is 28 or 29 years old". its old japanese kanji, so no wonder google and chatgpt might have trouble translating it correctly
lots of interesting context clues. her shamisen and manicured nails leads me to believe she used to be an "entertainer". 1603 was the very beginning of the "edo" period so i wonder if that has plot significance. also the idea that she's hunting someone, who may be sending people to hunt her in return, is giving me strong "kill bill" vibes.
You know, maybe atsu could be tomoe's descendant. Tomoe wasn't a samurai so her descendant couldn't possibly a samurai and she also moved to mainland japan (i think) at the end of ishikawa sensei stories. Also, tomoe was a markswoman and at the end of the trailer we see a gun. Just theorizing tho.
I hope there is something similar to the kensei armor. Seeing as ronin look is the default style here im hoping there is a better range of straw hat options or one of the smaller brimmed styles similar to Raiden from MK
She's not dual wielding 2 katanas, she's got 1 katana and 1 wakizashi, the standard "loadout" of samurai, lol. The katana was their main sword and the wakizashi is the backup sword.
@@Dizzyruptor if they come out at the same time i will dump hundreds of hours in ghost before i even touch shadows or I’ll speed run shadows to play ghost but I like your idea
hear me out, what if the new MC's name is Atsu SAKAI and is a descendant of Jin..?? I am currently replaying and 100%ing Ghost of Tsushima because I am super excited for this game to come out.

Kurosawa loved spaghetti westerns. He was influenced by western movies, and western movies were influenced by Kurosawa
I wish jin doesnt come too much in the game i want him to be something "special"
Same, in my reference someone darker, less social and more secretive.
And only if he could blend in with the shadows.
The birds, foxes, and wind guiding u was prob one of the most genius ways to lead u to places. I hope more games incorporate that

This looks and sounds incredible and I can't wait
GHOSTS OF Tsushima 2 made Ubisoft delay AS shadow's 😂😂😂
Why? Wouldn’t they want there release as far from GOY as possible if they where scared? The delayed it because they needed more time to polish it
@@Se1fishbiscuityou would think right? Release it ahead of the hype for ghost before people are having to decide “do I want the new assassins creed this year? Or the sequel to a game many have been waiting on for a couple years now? Especially for full price, I already said long ago I’d buy AC shadows when it goes on sale I never planned on paying full price for it 😂 ghost though I’m definitely gonna try for a physical
Delay the game to release against Monster Hunter Wild? To release against this?....if it's not delayed it's gonna release in the same year as GTA6. Why would they do that? It's so dumb.
Wukong definitely will do the same the next is definitely Black Myth: “Something”
I think we're gonna see Jin's story in one of the Mythic Tales, and will get the Ghost Stance from said mythic tale. At least I hope that's what happens, lol.
Also for the weapons and stances, I think there will be 4 like last time, and they were all shown in the teaser trailer. 1. Single blade (katana. 2. Dual wield (katana and wakizashi). 3. Kusarigama. 4. Rifle.
One question I have: is this game a full fledged sequel or more of a Miles Morales sized game?
Could be eighther or. But most likely a full on sequal
They said it was a sequel so i guess its just as long if not longer than got
To be fair, I like Miles Morales more than the sequel. As a shorter game, it is much easier to digest and fully complete. This is why I replay it every year during the holidays! ❤
As for Ghost of Yotei, I think is a proper sequel. Hokkaido is a much bigger island compared to Tsushima.
Hokkaido (where Mt. Yotei is) is like 50 times the size of Tsushima.... so can't imagine this being just like Miles Morales.
So... Is she going into a hot spring to increase her HP max? 😁
I really hope they do a mission/ quest for Jin’s armor and a ability and maybe even the katana holder
maybe she's the 18th ghost? i mean jin was more influential than the jito at the end of the game so it isn't impossible that someone may have continued as the ghost
Really bummed this isn't a continuation of Jin's story. I hope we get some flashbacks featuring what happened to him after GOT.
This is 300 years apart from Tsushima invasion i believe we will get atlist a Tale mission about Jin story
So hyped!
Do we think it’d be a bit much to expect stances with every melee weapon?. We see the kusarigama and the katana and the wakizashi, and I really hope that fire nodachi user was atsu that’d be so sick. I’m anticipating this for sure
I really hope the Ainu play a vig part in this game. I have been fascinated by them for a long time.
This feels like Kill Bill with Atsu as The Bride, who was based on Lady Snowblood.
I feel like with each game in the series it should always have the first ghost mask. Even if it looks beat up every new game for added effect is should under any circumstance be there
That line should be translated to around “28-29 years old”
Only for ps5? Or will we get it for ps2?
9:20 i have seen other videos of japanese people translating the wanted poster and the "18th warrior" line, actually reads something along the lines of "target is 28 or 29 years old". its old japanese kanji, so no wonder google and chatgpt might have trouble translating it correctly
I hope there is a new legends mode
Right if they actually give it time and have it with launch it would do numbers
lots of interesting context clues. her shamisen and manicured nails leads me to believe she used to be an "entertainer". 1603 was the very beginning of the "edo" period so i wonder if that has plot significance. also the idea that she's hunting someone, who may be sending people to hunt her in return, is giving me strong "kill bill" vibes.
Can’t wait!
I guarantee Jin will be a legend on Legends mode or you will here about him from a story teller
You know, maybe atsu could be tomoe's descendant. Tomoe wasn't a samurai so her descendant couldn't possibly a samurai and she also moved to mainland japan (i think) at the end of ishikawa sensei stories. Also, tomoe was a markswoman and at the end of the trailer we see a gun. Just theorizing tho.
Just... don't kill my horse this time, please.
great breakdown, shes probably related to Jin
I truly hope this game releases early next year, because fall of next year will be all about GTA6
Maybe Atsu the 18th warrior is 18 generations behind Jin..?
I hope there is something similar to the kensei armor. Seeing as ronin look is the default style here im hoping there is a better range of straw hat options or one of the smaller brimmed styles similar to Raiden from MK
She's not dual wielding 2 katanas, she's got 1 katana and 1 wakizashi, the standard "loadout" of samurai, lol. The katana was their main sword and the wakizashi is the backup sword.
Well I was going to get shadows but now I know I’ll get a better experience in ghost
Do both. Get Ubi+ for around £15 for a month and play shadows that way. a month sub is a lot less than full price.
@@Dizzyruptor if they come out at the same time i will dump hundreds of hours in ghost before i even touch shadows or I’ll speed run shadows to play ghost but I like your idea
@@gamingwolf4209 Either way is good. I'll be doing exactly the same myself.
Going to be like ac origins plot if I had to guess
I cant wait for this game. Its gonna be PEAK
hear me out, what if the new MC's name is Atsu SAKAI and is a descendant of Jin..?? I am currently replaying and 100%ing Ghost of Tsushima because I am super excited for this game to come out.
I hope we get an epic duel on top of the mountain
Sucker might’ve set the story up by making a game 300 years in the future instead of it being an outright Ghost of Tsushima 2 with Jin.
Atsu so far reminds me A LOT of Miso from Blue Eye Samurai for some reason.
Maybe he”ll make a cameo as a ghost in the game
It's gonna be soooo good!!! It looks like a dream.
Your 'standard length' katana supposed to be a two handed weapon. Dual welding with it doesn't feel right...
i hope they have an honor system like rdr for the change in her story
I do not care about the hate I'm hyped
