The vision with my horse Nobu broke my heart never got over my horse's death in Red Dead and seeing Nobu again was just depressing some of the Eagles Visions are good as hell and added a lot to the game
The fact that Tenzo, the killer of Jin's father, was more loyal and honourable towards jin than ryuzo, his oldest friend was, is poetic irony. And i love it.
Ryuzo had a reason for his betrayal though. His men were starving, the Mongols gave it without question and there was no way Shimura would help the straw hats, he'd probably use them as canon foder. I mean he hates theves like Yuna, imagen how he feels about bandits or Ronin.
@Filthy Fergus i will always believe this is poorly written, so nobody on the island could find food? No boar or bear could be eaten? They couldn't just steal food from peasants before aligning with the mongols. Just feels super forced and unearned, though I enjoyed the story with ryuzo. Just wished it would've made more sense for why he would betray you.
Kazumasa: Avenge me! Kill him you coward! Jin: No. I will never be like you. The way you lived was not my choice. And your death was not my fault. This was so powerful. Jin finally accepting his past.
yeah i mean what could Jin really have done his father was in full armor (meaning he would have been nearly impossible for Jin to carry to safety) and he was surronded by bandits/raiders.
I did this mission with the fully upgraded Sakai armour and boy it looked so good, the way the build up thae music at that point I was like Yeah this is gonna be a hell of a fight
Jeez, The Eagle was an amazing villain. Got real Scarecrow vibes from her. Also, I get Kazumasa's nature after losing his wife but his cruelty was unacceptable.
it really highlights just how flawed Bushido law really is Duty should never come before family. Even Shimura understood this. unlike Kazumasa Shimura only turned his back on Jin when Jin made his own choices.
@@shypotato4075 well Jin's mother was his Sister so they must of had similar character traits. parental traits being their strong suit. Shimura may have been a stuck in his way old boomer but he knew what it took to be a leader and a father. Kazumaza could compromise and be ruthless when needed but he never could connect with people after his wife'd death. notice how Jin's traits seem to be a mix of those 3. his mothers kindness= always helping those in need his uncles principles=will never back down if it means saving his homeland his fathers ruthlessness=will rain down hell on his enemies honor be damned.
The music in this game is another level. It’s so goddamn good especially in this scene. The way it swells when Jin comes out of the vision, the way it drops when the sword clash is over, really made me feel like I had overcome a great difficulty and came out the other side stronger, ready to fight with new resolve. So good.
Shame this is a PlayStation exclusive, I’d love to play this game, but one next-gen console is already enough for my house. Oh well, guess I’ll just have to go through the convoluted process of getting it to work on my Series X through my browser app once it releases on pc.
My exact same thoughts. The moment the music swelled was excellent. The game is great. One of the best ps exclusives. Better in Japanese my opinion but i hold no dislike for the dub either. Excellent VAs on both sides.
I believe it’s actually the only time in the entire dlc where the ghost of Tsushima main theme plays, which sort of symbolizes that Jin is back to normal. Awesome touch
Yess bro! I got mad cuz i died during that moment once and it killed the vibe cuz i really wanted to win once the music dropped but oh well still an amazing game 😻
What’s funny is that I actually played best during that part. I switched effortlessly between all 4 stances and used all special moves to beat her in an unbending flurry of attacks.
[4:50] - The strings instruments slowly interjects themselves into Jin's leitmotif, signifying the voice of Kazumasa begging Jin to do it. It seems to me that the strings play a repeated tune that goes up and down; up being Kazumasa wanting to Jin to do what he says and down being Jin denying it, showing that he is not his father. [5:07] - The lone flute (Jin), starts to overpower the strings before pushing away the sound of the strings, the voice of his father. [5:22] - The strings return in a consistent tune, it's more uplifting than previously. It could mean Jin has already come to terms with his fathers' darkness and used it as a stepping stone out of it, reaching higher and higher to the climaxing clash. (I also like to point out that after the clash, it starts playing "The Legacy of Kazumasa Sakai" which also shares the shakuhachi element in it so make of that as you will.) [Summary] I'll admit that the last one seems like a stretch but nevertheless, the music chosen was perfect for Jin's confrontation with Kazumasa.
I played this part with the Sakai clan armor. It felt like poetry, wearing the armor of my dead father, to defeat the eagle; I was not my father, I was Jin Sakai.
i played this bit with the Ghost armor (doesn't make much sense in terms of continuity because this is before Taka made it i think.) but i feel like it created a good contrast between Jin and Kazumasa. Kazumaza is a Legendary warrior but Jin is near enough a mythical figure.
@@michaelkean5969 Continuity wise it can go either way, if you've beaten the game before starting the dlc Jin mentions to the eagle that he already killed Khotun. I liked using the ghost armor for this dlc because the mongols on Iki are introduced to a fully seasoned Ghost
@@media_dump but the problem is tho is that This DLC's story is so muddled up it cna't decide if it's set during or after the main story because the dialog goes both ways it breaks immersion. i'm going to start a new game plus and see when the dlc becomes available story wise so it makes more sense.
I like how Kasumasa says "sometimes what is necessary is also terrible," then later tells Jin to "do what is necessary," meaning "do what is terrible."
It’s said that the guiding wind is Kazumasa’s spirit guiding Jin. The violet petals represented the hallucinations Jin endured through out the expansion. At the end, as Jin meditated and finally found closure, you see the guiding wind blow away the image the fear that the poison created.
I'm glad someone else said it too, that this villain was so similar to scarecrow, in all the right ways. This music during the fight was fantastic as well.
Lmao I went halfway through the dlc without realizing I was on lethal and I was like how tf am I getting 1 tapped on bosses so I just decided to roll with lethal anyway it was very rewarding
That's not really Jin's father. After what Jin did(saved Tsushima)he wouldn't call his Son a cowards. Jin's father is the type of father who loves his son but doesn't know how to express it.
@@thetraveler2224Not just that, after Jin rejects revenge, the guiding wind, which is the spirit of Kazumasa actually pushes away the guilt. Kazumasa, in reality, helped Jin save Tenzo even though Tenzo killed him.
This dlc was amazing and honestly it helped me come to terms with a lot of shit from my own childhood and stuff about my dad that I haven't been able to process, good job sucker punch.
just got to playing... like books, songs, and movies when you dissect them once ure immersed, media can hit home hard. You're right this game has helped me understand the human condition... and the fact that it's set in a non western world it alleviates the thought of the monotonous life we live within our own little bubbles of life.
So happy I’m not the only one who noticed this. I played half the DLC in English and the other half including this in Japanese, and the moaning was so fucking annoying. Sounded like a dogshit hentai, but it’s actually an epic boss fight. Also find it odd that The Eagle just reuses the generic enemy movesets, but it’s not that big of an issue.
I have OCD and the voices she speak to Jin during the whole time randomly on Iki island is EXACTLY what the inner voice I have, those intrusive thoughts. In the end, by learning to forgive himself Jin broke free of the poison. I learned to do so and it REALLY helps. I never thought a video game could be this amazing.
She sure is agile and can take a hit for someone her age. Got some seriously wicked moves. Never saw that flying staff flip when I fought her. Wonder how to dodge it. A LOT of new attacks are real bastards to dodge/parry, especially those twinblade brutes. Ridiculous hitboxes. I guess the Suckerpunch devs were mad about everyone saying the game was too easy. I definitely turned the difficulty down from Lethal to Hard when I got insta-killed by one of the new enemies pretty early on, it’s an insane difficulty spike. That being said, I can see this fight being not too bad on Lethal.
The same goes for Riku who was literally blind , and the guy near the pagoda near Omi Village who had no armor on him just some cloth but tanked like 80 sword hits.They had to break the realism to put in fun fights.
@@ntfoperative9432 try it early on.. Like act 1 or very beginning of act 2.. Not many charms, less resolve, no iron will, and only minor attack charms. I did it wearing the ronin gear fully upgraded. Took a bunch of attempts. Very good challenge
@@renansantos6533 Don't bring Tlou2,i didn't talk about it. Personally i find it a lot(By a mile(better,but there were tons of games better than Got:Hades,HL Alyx,Doom Eternal,Ori,Ff7 Remake just to name a few
One thing i really like abt this fight is that i think my game glitched but as soon as i reached the 2nd phase, Jin started attacking waaaay faster than he did the entire expansion, idk if that's the poison fading or what but i loved it, it felt like Jin literally dropped a whole weight
I don’t know if this is considered a cheese but when she pulls out her staff dont engage just run around her, after like 10 seconds of doing that she will then switch she will switch to her much more manageable sword stance
the man who literally killed his father infront of him cracking jokes at Jin and making him laugh is insane to me. Kazumasa may not have been there to be a father to him, but he was there to teach him how to forgive, shit was so cool.
I must have redone this fight over 50 times, most of her attacks where unblockable so even with side stepping or dodging the secondary or tertiary unblockable attack that spans the entire battleground still got me taking me down to 1hp again
if anyone else playing on PC now find that the iki island expansion part seemed bugged, like sound of fighting would cut out and couldnt parry sometimes
Same. I liked his dad more as the wind that guides Jin throughout his journey. I also think Kazumasa dying on snow was better than dying on a tropical beach but I think that's suppose to be a call back to the samurai dying on the beach.
I always thought that the Wind was the real Kazamasa. I like to think that the Kazamasa at the end behind jin was the real Kazamasa, like he accepted Jin to be his redeemer before disappearing into the wind.
I loved the fight so much. Although eagle lady kicked my ass 😅. The whole expansion was really cool. The wisteria parts were so beautiful. The only thing was I made the mistake of going to the island almost immediately after reaching part 2 and boy was I underprepared. Now I’m back on tsushima and everything is easy.
Man I just now getting to play , I have done every side quest for section 1 and 2 before coming here I didn’t kno it was a dlc bc I got it from the Sony pass and now I feel like I ruined the story 😭😭😭
I did this fight last night omg it was such hard fight on a harder difficulty . what an epic fight it was . what well done final boss . whole thing including your cov with your father . i mean that was on another level type of final boss fight
Amazing part of this game Is that some duels will only take a minute or two due to having full resolve, maybe even Ghost Stance Or they’ll take an hour because you have no resolve
One of the greatest game scenes ever. "No. I will never be like you. The way you lived, was not my choice. And your death, was not my fault." The moment of redemption. And killing Eagle after that felt righteous. By the way, better watched in Japanese, with subtitles. The whole game is better that way.
from losing his home island after saving it, to redemption of feeling guilt his whole life + saving the killer of his fathers. Sucker Punch deserves an Oscar for making this one of a kind game! the sequence of the story is beyond imaginable, the music is intense in every scene that makes you feel you are among them. P.S. Tenzo actually went to save Sakai hence why he defeated the other goon and went and prevented the eagle from killing Jin.👏🏼
Felt so good cutting her down, I got really tired of her intermittent shit-talking while I was doing stuff. And as for Jin coming to terms with his past: it felt like everything came full-circle and though he(Jin) used guerrilla warfare tactics, he was a true samurai to his core
Man when that scene and the backround music happen got me hype so much, i had only got 4 heals and i kept on losing at the eagle and when i saw that scene i knew i couldnt mess it up by dying again id ruined up that moment and i had only like 1 hp left i was going try hard mode and guess what i clutched it
the best DLC for Ghost of Tsushima. New enemy type that enhanced the enemy attack and enemies that switch weapons on the fly. New final boss that's more threatening than Khotun. And finally Jin let's go of his past and finally moved on.
@@AlguienCualquieraDelMundo nah Khan was easy since he is slow and on the later part we can use ghost weapons. Eagle was too damn fast and powerful, took 5 or 6 attempts for me to beat it. I play on hard mode, cant imagine what she will be like on lethal.
I was playing at the highest difficulty and was defeated several dozens of times but... When Jin was spared of the vision and his theme started playing my blood boiled and I entered the Ghost mode and killed the Eagle with half of her xp in just one determined attempt. I haven't even had a chance to realize it.
this DLC/Expansion was amazing. however i have a few problems with it and that is how muddled it seems to be for example. 1.Jin's status=he's constantly refereed to as a Samurai and is treated as one by the people of iki despite the fact that his clan was disbanded and that he is wanted by the Shogun and the fact that the iki people see that he does not fight like a samurai at all yet no one says anything. 2.Jin's character is pretty much regressed completely back to having daddy issues and guilt for his fathers death when all of that was tackled and settled at the end of the main story by killing or Sparing Shimura. Jin breaks all ties with his identity and becomes the Ghost in it's entirety. Jin Sakai IS DEAD so this entire "sins of the father" storyline seems really out of place. 3. Is Shimura alive or dead that choice has literally no effect on this DLC and shimura never onced showed up either which makes no sense. (no flash backs with Shimura and Kazumasa to get an idea of how they opposed each other) the only way this really makes any sense is if it was set just after or before act 2 of the main story but it's not clear at all when it's set.
Well the developers made this arc available before Kamiagata region, so ideally and feasibly story-wise this happened not long after Jin recovered his father's armor and is doing errands before the Shogun forces arrive. I guess the developers thought blocking off the story for those who've gone through a certain point of the vanilla is just too cruel, and making an entirely different dialogue set/event is way too much work for their caliber.
@@pooploop33 That's a contingency line, some lines in the game actually change depending what you accomplished or not before. Example: 1. if you went to Ishikawa and Lady Adachi before proceeding to search for Taka, Jin will report accordingly to Yuna. 2. If you liberate the village neighboring Jin's home before learning of the Wolfsbane poison, Yuriko will have you collect the Blowpipe material from an abandoned hut by the lake instead. In most cases these changes aren't significant, but as the OP described, having the Iki Island arc happened AFTER Jin completely leave his old life behind is a regress in his character development, but because the game is designed as is, players can choose to complete it whenever and there's small changes to acknowledge that
1. Jin’s status as a “Samurai from Yarikawa” is a ploy to hide his association with Clan Sakai and he’s technically a Ronin (Samurai without Master) at this point. 2.Jin did not have the same issues with His own Father as he did with Shimura who Jin considers more of a father figure. Shimura sided with the Shogun and labeled Jin a Traitor. Jin guilt tripped himself without ever accepting he had no control of his fathers death. 3. There are numerous visions in the DLC you hear Shimura’s last moments (if you decide to kill him). Jin has stated numerous times that Shimura was more of a negotiator as oppose to his fathers warrior first mentality. In the Flashbacks you clearly see that Kazumasa didn’t think highly of Jin. Jin had a lot of influence of his mother (Shimura’s sister).
Yeah I made the mistake of jumping to iki island almost straight after reaching act 2 bar a few other quests… to say I was underprepared is an understatement. And now I’m back and finally recovering Jin’s fathers armour it feels out of place because he just accepted to let go of the past and not blame himself for his fathers death. I think it would have been better if they locked iki island until a set point of the game because it’s hard to know when is the best time to play it so it integrates well with the story.

Did you guys like this game, or was it overhyped?
I loved it! 🙂
I liked it 😊 however, I thought that there were too many "Eagle" interruptions.
The Main Game is a 11/10 for sure but the Iki Island Expansion is a good and fun continuation of the story, 8.5/10
The vision with my horse Nobu broke my heart never got over my horse's death in Red Dead and seeing Nobu again was just depressing some of the Eagles Visions are good as hell and added a lot to the game
How do I get more health like you
The fact that Tenzo, the killer of Jin's father, was more loyal and honourable towards jin than ryuzo, his oldest friend was, is poetic irony. And i love it.
Same
Jin deserves only loyal friends ❤️
Ryuzo had a reason for his betrayal though. His men were starving, the Mongols gave it without question and there was no way Shimura would help the straw hats, he'd probably use them as canon foder.
I mean he hates theves like Yuna, imagen how he feels about bandits or Ronin.

the main story brought closure to the plot but the expansion brought a closure to jins character as a whole
if anyone else playing on PC now find that the iki island expansion part seemed bugged, like sound of fighting would cut out and couldnt parry sometimes
Ghost of Tsushima just amazes me
Wish they didn’t make jins dad out to be some piece of shit, they made sound like a cool guy in the base campaign
Same. I liked his dad more as the wind that guides Jin throughout his journey. I also think Kazumasa dying on snow was better than dying on a tropical beach but I think that's suppose to be a call back to the samurai dying on the beach.
Remember his dad he saw when he saw(due to the poison)wasn't really his father.
@@jacket6213 Jin's dad is literally the wind on his back. His spirit watches over him and guides him.
@@thetraveler2224 I figured that was what they were implying but I wasn’t sure, hope that’s the case
I always thought that the Wind was the real Kazamasa. I like to think that the Kazamasa at the end behind jin was the real Kazamasa, like he accepted Jin to be his redeemer before disappearing into the wind.
I loved the fight so much. Although eagle lady kicked my ass 😅. The whole expansion was really cool. The wisteria parts were so beautiful. The only thing was I made the mistake of going to the island almost immediately after reaching part 2 and boy was I underprepared. Now I’m back on tsushima and everything is easy.
Man I just now getting to play , I have done every side quest for section 1 and 2 before coming here I didn’t kno it was a dlc bc I got it from the Sony pass and now I feel like I ruined the story 😭😭😭
I did this fight last night omg it was such hard fight on a harder difficulty . what an epic fight it was . what well done final boss . whole thing including your cov with your father . i mean that was on another level type of final boss fight
Sucker Punch dones it again!
They always does 😁
The game and cutscenes were all so amazing!!!
Man, I'm just downloading it, and you already finished it...😁
I died so many times before defeating her.
She was really hard for sure. It was actually a soulsborne boss. Strange why nobody talks about her.
@@issi529 soulsbourne?
@@leonite934 Yeah, games made by fromsoftware, darks souls, Elden Ring and Sekiro. She was very challenging.
@@issi529 not really i died twice in Hard mode. need to duel if she using sword that's it
@@leonite934 Yes a fromsoftwareboss.
Had a predicting feeling that Tenzo was who he was at the end 😂 🤣
Amazing part of this game
Is that some duels will only take a minute or two due to having full resolve, maybe even Ghost Stance
Or they’ll take an hour because you have no resolve
One of the greatest game scenes ever.
"No. I will never be like you. The way you lived, was not my choice. And your death, was not my fault."
The moment of redemption. And killing Eagle after that felt righteous.
By the way, better watched in Japanese, with subtitles. The whole game is better that way.
7:08 and 8:29 someone please tell me the name of this theme cuz i literally can’t find it anywhere
Hey man, about the soundtrack. Have you found the name? I need it.
Hey man, I don't know if you're still looking for it but it's called "honour to ash". Also the part where Jin becomes "The Ghost" in main story.
Jin: The way you lived was not my choice. And your death was not my fault.
Music: climaxes
Me: climaxes
I play this on +lethal and this particular fight make me died so many times compared to when I fought Khotun Khan
Think my problem in the game is I wait for them to attack and try to dodge or Parry, instead of just attacking and then dodge or parry when I have to
from losing his home island after saving it, to redemption of feeling guilt his whole life + saving the killer of his fathers. Sucker Punch deserves an Oscar for making this one of a kind game! the sequence of the story is beyond imaginable, the music is intense in every scene that makes you feel you are among them.
P.S. Tenzo actually went to save Sakai hence why he defeated the other goon and went and prevented the eagle from killing Jin.👏🏼
Besides rdr2 to gow I feel this is the biggest robbery. Gow 2018 was goated rdr2 was better. This was a masterpiece while tlou2 was sloppy writing.
i had no resolve after jin cleared his mind, so i went at her with fullaggression
Felt so good cutting her down, I got really tired of her intermittent shit-talking while I was doing stuff.
And as for Jin coming to terms with his past: it felt like everything came full-circle and though he(Jin) used guerrilla warfare tactics, he was a true samurai to his core
The music is on point. 👌
She seriously moved like a bloody boss right out of sekiro crazy fast combat but loved it
5:37 The moment you realise that losing…isn’t an option
Man when that scene and the backround music happen got me hype so much, i had only got 4 heals and i kept on losing at the eagle and when i saw that scene i knew i couldnt mess it up by dying again id ruined up that moment and i had only like 1 hp left i was going try hard mode and guess what i clutched it
Anyone know the name of the soundtrack at 7:12 ?
Jin Sakai is tracks name
the best DLC for Ghost of Tsushima. New enemy type that enhanced the enemy attack and enemies that switch weapons on the fly. New final boss that's more threatening than Khotun. And finally Jin let's go of his past and finally moved on.
Jin is *_NOT_* his father - or his uncle.
I still think that Kothun has harder, at least in the duel part
@@AlguienCualquieraDelMundo considering the fact that Khotun's AI cheated constantly.
Khotun was underwhelming for me. But the Eagle, she was so fast and I barely won on Hard. Can't imagine her on Letha!
@@AlguienCualquieraDelMundo nah Khan was easy since he is slow and on the later part we can use ghost weapons. Eagle was too damn fast and powerful, took 5 or 6 attempts for me to beat it. I play on hard mode, cant imagine what she will be like on lethal.
I was playing at the highest difficulty and was defeated several dozens of times but...
When Jin was spared of the vision and his theme started playing my blood boiled and I entered the Ghost mode and killed the Eagle with half of her xp in just one determined attempt. I haven't even had a chance to realize it.
Thank you so much for your amazing video dear. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Damn man
Man the enemies in this game are sliding not walking
Did you have the dance of wrath? Just trying to decide my strategy against her.
It’s ironic how the “medicine” actually cured Jin…
She's so annoying on lethal because there aren't too many attack opportunities; you're mostly counter attacking off perfect parries and dodges.
For our clan father
This woman on lethal mode is unbeatable ngl
Monkey Armor op in this fight 😁
Only fight in the game where I had to turn down the difficulty
I love this game so much it’s a breath of fresh air from gta red dead and fortnite can’t wait for the second game if they make it
She killid me 4 times at first
This was such a cool fight.
this DLC/Expansion was amazing. however i have a few problems with it and that is how muddled it seems to be for example.
1.Jin's status=he's constantly refereed to as a Samurai and is treated as one by the people of iki despite the fact that his clan was disbanded and that he is wanted by the Shogun and the fact that the iki people see that he does not fight like a samurai at all yet no one says anything.
2.Jin's character is pretty much regressed completely back to having daddy issues and guilt for his fathers death when all of that was tackled and settled at the end of the main story by killing or Sparing Shimura. Jin breaks all ties with his identity and becomes the Ghost in it's entirety. Jin Sakai IS DEAD so this entire "sins of the father" storyline seems really out of place.
3. Is Shimura alive or dead that choice has literally no effect on this DLC and shimura never onced showed up either which makes no sense. (no flash backs with Shimura and Kazumasa to get an idea of how they opposed each other)
the only way this really makes any sense is if it was set just after or before act 2 of the main story but it's not clear at all when it's set.
Well the developers made this arc available before Kamiagata region, so ideally and feasibly story-wise this happened not long after Jin recovered his father's armor and is doing errands before the Shogun forces arrive. I guess the developers thought blocking off the story for those who've gone through a certain point of the vanilla is just too cruel, and making an entirely different dialogue set/event is way too much work for their caliber.
@@hansalanson3497 nah. This is after the death of the khan. In a cutscene jin mentioned it on the eagle that the khan is dead.
@@pooploop33 That's a contingency line, some lines in the game actually change depending what you accomplished or not before.
Example:
1. if you went to Ishikawa and Lady Adachi before proceeding to search for Taka, Jin will report accordingly to Yuna.
2. If you liberate the village neighboring Jin's home before learning of the Wolfsbane poison, Yuriko will have you collect the Blowpipe material from an abandoned hut by the lake instead.
In most cases these changes aren't significant, but as the OP described, having the Iki Island arc happened AFTER Jin completely leave his old life behind is a regress in his character development, but because the game is designed as is, players can choose to complete it whenever and there's small changes to acknowledge that
1. Jin’s status as a “Samurai from Yarikawa” is a ploy to hide his association with Clan Sakai and he’s technically a Ronin (Samurai without Master) at this point. 2.Jin did not have the same issues with His own Father as he did with Shimura who Jin considers more of a father figure. Shimura sided with the Shogun and labeled Jin a Traitor. Jin guilt tripped himself without ever accepting he had no control of his fathers death. 3. There are numerous visions in the DLC you hear Shimura’s last moments (if you decide to kill him). Jin has stated numerous times that Shimura was more of a negotiator as oppose to his fathers warrior first mentality. In the Flashbacks you clearly see that Kazumasa didn’t think highly of Jin. Jin had a lot of influence of his mother (Shimura’s sister).
Yeah I made the mistake of jumping to iki island almost straight after reaching act 2 bar a few other quests… to say I was underprepared is an understatement. And now I’m back and finally recovering Jin’s fathers armour it feels out of place because he just accepted to let go of the past and not blame himself for his fathers death. I think it would have been better if they locked iki island until a set point of the game because it’s hard to know when is the best time to play it so it integrates well with the story.
I remember when this boss first came out it took me forever to beat her
Now shes my warmup before i play the game 😂
Hilarious, the medicine really cured him
Just not the way the eagle wanted
Well worth the $30 for sure.
"may your death benefit all beings"
is it out already？
After this DLC I hate Jin's father. And that's why I go through ghost path.
how poetic i chose the same phrases lol
i'm here to watch this cuz the game audio bug ruining this for me
Song name at 4:33?
Damn, best anime game ever
Are you blind or what? Lol
Anime good Anime LMAO
LOL
This isn't an anime game.
@@thetraveler2224 but it's an anime what do you mean? Lol

"The legacy of Kazumasa Sakai"
4:57 "NOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Her helmet didn’t unlock for me 😵
What charm did you apply
To end your rein of terror
Eagle No
The eagle has all of khotun khan’s attacks and moves
Why is it unpariable in my game?

Except, for lethal, its dificult.
apollyon, as in for honor final boss?
