I think having the MC and FMC as japanese main characters and having Yosuke as the side character exploring his history would have been a better plot. Plus Ubi could create a DLC having Yosuke now as the main character. As an Asian, I had high hopes of having the first Asian main duo in the franchise in this game.
Play as the girl and stop crying because of skin color.😂😂😂
They trying to turn Japan into Paris 😂
I mean, people would still freak out and cry about Yasuke even if he was just an ncp as a side character...
Like, they freaked out over God of War: Ragnarök because one of the side characters looked Asian... Crying about how dei is "ruining" gaming etc.
So a black samurai, even as a side character, would still make their heads explode.
His being a MC was a best idea in my opinion
Even if he was a side character their would still be outrage from certain people,
Angerboda was a side character and barley appeared in God of war yet these people still complained,
And the thing I’m trying to understand is Why not keep him as the main character?
Did we have this energy when we played as a white guy in Nioh?
No we didn’t,
Personally I think this is fine my only problem is the praise and the micro transactions,
He looks cool as a optional brute like character.
Two big red flags with making Yasuke a main character.
1. We have never had a historical figure or "anyone from history" as a main character in any Assassins Creed games. They are always the side characters you interact with. The main characters are original characters to their stories.
2. The main characters have always been from their setting, region, and culture. They are from the area. And if there are two main characters they BOTH are, not just one.
They broke both traditions in one game and quite frankly it is a middle finger to Japan. If you wanted a historical figure why not pick someone actually Japanese........like Oda? And why in the world have one of the main characters not be from the region when we finally hit Japan? The game we have wanted for years.
Those are some good points. I didn’t know Assassin’s Creed has had that history for so long.
Well not really AC Rogue is set in America and the protagonist is Irish and revelations is set in turkey and we had ezio
1. And that is an issue how exactly?
2. Not true Ezio is Italian and revelations was in the ottoman empire.
Also one of the two protagonists is japanese, if you want to play a japanese character you can. What is the problem here? Yasuke is an interesting character and I'm sure you could tell an interesting story with him.
@mrlikerdh it is not that's what I'm saying it's been done before so I don't mind it
You’re not whining about white boy Willaim Adam’s fighting demons in Nioh
White man sailing the Caribbean in Black flag
Norwegian man running around England in Valhalla
But you get an actual character who existed but doesn’t look like you so now you wish for authenticity from assassins creed of all places. The game where you got into a fist fight with the pope for a magic base ball 😂😂😂😂
The gentrification of the word "woke" needs to be studied
@pyrocinical299 when was he a samurai?
where did you get that?
he was their slave, they kept him cuz they were fascinated by his color and he assisted them with their equipment
@pyrocinical299 yasuke stayed in japan for about a year and was given back to jesuit without ever participating in any war or battle as a samurai, ever. from real history records and journals written in real life from the era. not your modern pretend fantasies
@@brunopenava7198You haven’t cited any sources and are intentionally ignoring Nobunaga’s official biography written after his death says Yasuke was a samurai. Facts over Racist Feelings.
@@brunopenava7198 which is why he is used for an ac game you low iq baffoon. his story can be expanded.
@@brunopenava7198he started off as a gift to Nobunaga, then became his flag/sword bearer , then became one of his RETAINERS/BODYGUARDS. If you need to read up about what a retainer that was allowed to wield his own Katana was back in the day I suggest you go familiarize yourself with the sengoku-jidai period of Japanese history and then come rejoin the convo. If you don’t know these basic things you don’t belong in this conversation …….he was a samurai my friend. Smithsonian/britanica foundations also agree with this, along with MULTIPLE Japanese universities and museums. You just don’t believe because you don’t WANT to
短い時間でこんなに昇進できるはずないよ。
Let's put a Japanese guy as the MC in the Zulu warrior tribe AC game.
Ok. -_-
Bro it's a real piece of history.... Yasuke was the first non Japanese and African samurai... Ubisoft didn't do it outta nowhere
Do any Japanese guys have statues in the Zulu village?
@@swastikmohanty3623 African samurai, Portuguese samurai, how about a Japanese samurai? You know who else actually existed? Johnny Somali. Let's just spell out the issue. Asian men are backed into a corner of their own culture, what do you think happens when that corner is no longer available to them? IGN has come out defending ubisoft with asians are WHITE, so they don't deserve representation.
@@swastikmohanty3623 He was never a samurai, he was a weapon bearer.
I am half Japanese and grew up in Japan. 千葉県-松戸市. I’m not okay with this. I don’t care if Yasuke was a “samurai” or not. It feels like we Asians are erasable and don’t count as minorities in America. Having a Japanese main character wasn’t good enough so they made one African. If AC was in Africa would people be ok if one of the main characters was Chinese? I think it would be inexcusable. People talk about cultural appropriation but where are they now? They don’t care. Now if the developers were Japanese and made this decision, I’d be ok with it.
Have you played any ac before? Black flag was set in the Caribbean but the mc was welsh. Stop using identity politics no one cares about your race.
There are TWO main characters, one of which is Japanese.
nah bruh theres already assassins creed china with asian character, stop with the identity politics i dont give a fk
Have you considered that the recent rise in popularity for Yasuke helped motivate the decision? American blacks specifically have always had a lot of love for Eastern cultures and stories and because the East Asian minority is fairly small comparatively in the states, the developers wanted to mix it up a bit to grab a few more sales. Besides, with a little of the actual historical background, if Yasuke was a bodyguard for Nobunaga and massive, then he would have probably been kind of scary at the time.
Did you care so much when Tom Cruse was a Samurai? Or the other white guys over the decades
glad they didn’t give him the killmonger cut
They're technically half correct? Yasuke was a black men in Japan indeed. But calling him a samurai is far fetched, since he was servant and as far as we know didn't really fight.
He likely fought in Honno-ji and perhaps a couple others but yea nothing to this scale lol.
@@hdudhehdhd2222 I mean, I guess? I mean we don't know what happened with him after Honno-Ji and there is like 1 painting with him wrestling (assuming that's actually him).
lol bunch of dumb kids don’t realize that all samurai’s are servants 😂
Samurai when roughly translates to English means “to serve”. All samurai’s served their lords. In this case Yasuke served the most powerful man in Japan Oda Nobunaga
According to fellow Samurai Matsudaira Ietada’s diary, Yasuke was employed as samurai for Oda Nobunaga, received a stipend, armor/katana, land, and servants.
@@hdudhehdhd2222 It's a huge "maybe". And to be a warrior/samurai was literally non existent. Samurai knew wth they were doing. You couldn't just simply give a slave a katana and say "go slash others". So there is no chance a black man was a samurai. Not even the White man that arrived in japan became samurai and were much more powerfull then him. At least in money and status.
He was absolutely a samurai. Don't spread bs misinformation. A bunch of losers edited the wikipedia recently to push their agenda and narrative to say Yasuke wasn't a samurai when historian agree that was a well respected samurai.
that ninja girl look alike she is from philippines 💀😭
Hot damn!!! Lolol nooooooo
And she want to be a man desperately.
It’s funny how the racists are the ones offended by yasuke, but then say shit like this lmao.
That's the real crime here
AC Africa and a Japanese as an MC to be fair 😂
Depending on where in the continent, a Chinese mc would make more sense
You will never see a MC japanese man slaughtering villages of africans
@@NovaCaneKills11 Japanese people exist in Africa. You can include one Japanese man. Fair is fair.
@@ryguy1483 But not as a MC.
ac origins is in africa
I think it would still stand out if it wasn’t a black protagonist because it’s an Assassins Creed style game that we’ve been waiting for and they could’ve built off soooooo many Asian characters as a protagonist instead of the one they chose it’s a huge missed opportunity. Yasuke could’ve been DLC that would’ve made more sense.
Nothing against Yasuke, he probably was very cool and him getting immerse in Japanese culture is a cool bit of history. But to me at least, making a game about Japan under Nobunaga, having hundreds upon hundreds of Japanese historical figures that are much more established and relevant to the time and picking the one dude who's most relevant characteristic is him being black is quite the evident racial bias. Especially when you here people retort that "yeah but Yasuke was really cool, I mean look at him", to which in essence I definitely agree" but are you saying that a black man had to be picked because the Japanese were not cool enough to be their own Samurai? And it's not like this guy needed focus, he's already gotten tons of media attention!
I appreciate how reasonable you sound compared to other people on the matter, but hear me out. Have you considered that picking Yasuke could have been done specifically to get the outsider/foreigner point of view? Quick example; for Alan Wake 2, they specifically wanted two protagonists: Alan and a new detective, to have the point of view of an outsider, someone who's not familiar with the world, for players who weren't familiar with the first game. That way, you can do narrative exposition in a way that doesn't feel jarring. I can COMPLETELY see Yasuke being brought up by the teams for that specific reason. When you look at history and stumble upon this dude; African who ends up in Japan, first to appear in Japanese historical records, becomes close to Nobunaga... As a Retainer?! Bro. That's a gold mine. That's the PERFECT foreigner to fulfil the role of outsider. As a writer myself, if I was presented with the option of Yasuke, I'd be like "Shit, I know they're going to call us woke for that, but god damn, he's just the perfect fit for what we want to do". Of course, not every story needs an outsider perspective (AC 1, 2, Brotherhood, didn't have any), but when you have one, it's always really cool and immersive for the players (Case in point: Ezio going to Constantinople and learning about the culture). Even if they romanticize his story, Yasuke is a cool foundation for a story. And let's not act like this would be the first time AC romanticized a historical figure lol.
Not only that, but he also fits perfectly for the gameplay. We know they want to please both their audiences with that game: those who like the RPG hack and slash combat, and those who prefer stealth. And since Yasuke represents the Samurai, historically known for his size and strength, he's the perfect fit to be the brawler type! So on the other hand, you could have a Japanese Ninja, for the native side of the story, but also for the stealth part of the gameplay. So when you really take all of this into consideration, it's perfect. It feels super unique, not a single other game give us those two drastically different perspectives (native/foreigner) side by side and it allows the game to stand on its own, and not be overly compared to other games set in Feudal Japan.
So yeah, all of that to say that even though Yasuke does in fact fall in line with Ubisoft's usual desire for diversity, there are other very valid reasons beyond "wokeness" to pick him as a character. And having seen the making of AC games with my own eyes in the past, I can definitely tell you that forced diversity isn't a top down mandate - it's a desire shared by the teams, yes, but not an obsession. AC Valhalla was jam packed with white people and no one ever brought the point "Maybe Eivor should be black" or nothing remotely close to that. And let's not forget that Shadows does feature a Japanese protagonist as well. If Yasuke had been the ONLY character, then yeah, it would have been very weird, I agree.
@@FromTheAtticTV nope, evry AC is in the point of view of the native. Sure the things u mentioned couId be in other game, but not in AC, this is IiteraIIyWoke in action.. AC is nevr Iike this.. even BIack FIag is baed on Native, because during that Era, there are many european, because of CoIIoniaI British, and there's a Iot of white pirates during the Era, so it fits and feeIs reaI.
@@BaschBarrage So a white man going to the Caribbeans feels real and isn't woke, but a black man actually based on a real historical figure going to Japan is woke? Why is that? Why does the white foreigner story get a pass?
@@FromTheAtticTV weII how aboutRead again. Im taIking about the norm.. white man going to carribean is in the history, during the Era year of AC BIack FIag, it was during British CoIIonial, meaning there are thousand of thousand white man across caaaribean, the pirates were start from white man too, in carribean, they arent just foreigner IoI. Japan is never under African coIIonial or whatnot, yasuke is just one man, one bIip in the whole history of Japan. Now compare between the two, thats the difference of what isWoke and what is the norm. One game where the hero is native(Edward Kenway), where white man were locaIIy with carribean, based on historicaI fact.. while Yasuke is one bIip, 1 singIe bIack person in the history of Japan that is not even legit historicaI fact as a samurai, he was a weapon bearer, was forced to wear samurai attire because japanese foind itHiIarious, was forced into war and immediateIy surrender because he cantfight, thats what written about him. AII these part we hear from AC Shadows are made up just so they can insert BIack in Japanese series, its a sociaI points of diversity(which is whatWoke Iove to do). Learn the difference :) now excuse me from this roomtemplQ conversation, Im done.. I rest my case, peace out.
@@BaschBarrage Wow dude, you overthink this to insane degrees without even realizing your own double standards. And all you historical "facts" are wrong, and Yasuke wasn't even the only black guy in Japan at that time - but he was the only one ever recorded to reach the status of retainer under Nobunaga (AKA a Samurai, as it wasn't a special code like the freaking knights of the roundtable). I'd say to truly make some research but you'll only search for the info that confirms your biases, so I won't even bother, and I won't even bother responding to you again because your mind can't be changed; the anti-woke mindset is gnawing at your brain. See ya.
Having an African man slaughtering 100s of Asians in Japan as a Samaria is so cringe. Especially considering he wasn’t even really a Samaria. He was a servant/pet. His lord he served was obsessed with his dark skin.
keep coping low t manlet
And yet you weren’t upset when a white guy was the main character of the game NIOH , or when a white guy (Tom cruise) slaughtered a bunch of Japanese guys in THE LAST SAMURAI. Or when uma slaughtered a bunch of Japanese guys in kill bill, or when Keanu slaughter a bunch of Japanese guys in his samurai movie…….nope you only have a problem when it’s black guy and that’s because you aren’t racist whatsoever…..not at all…..shut the fuck up clown
Also yasuke was nobunagas RETAINER not pet . A retainer that is allowed to carry swords and fight in combat on your behalf is literally what a samurai was. He wasn’t a pet , that’s just how YOU WANT to think of him because you’re a racist piece of shit
Have you played RE5
@@Twice504Lol true, but doing the same thing YEARS later, just different skin, is ridiculously hilarious and semi-racist
I mean…you see my profile picture, you know what we’re doing. It’s basically Rise of the Ronin 2 for me lol
Exactly! " Yasuke who!???" was my initial reaction upon watching that trailer lol He's actually more commonly called Kurosuke (くろ助) here in Japan, and I know precisely why the West didn't use that name LMAO
Why?
@@NPC-vg8kx kuro means black
Well this is a western game and series, it’s not Japanese lmao. No one internationally calls him that.
What I would really like to see is for western developers and producers to stop insisting that audiences need foreigners in Japan to guide the stories. If Shogun showed us anything, it's that people can not only handle having Japanese lead Japanese stories, but that people will enjoy them and even gravitate towards them. If western developers are going to continue to develop games like this and Ghosts of Tsushima, then give us Japanese led casts. It's as simple as that.
I don’t disagree with you on this. I could see Yasuke as a dlc or side character for this, but having him as a MC does distinguish the game from other recent games in Japan. If this game is good, the extra buzz from anti-woke folks could sell a few copies.
@@Mudoh415 This game would have literally been Ghost of Tsushima if they went with only a Japanese Male Samurai
There's a Japanese main character in it the woman smh.
It’s funny that you bring up shogun when discussing representation when it has a white guy shoehorned into it, but you don’t care about that. I agree with your sentiment, but it should be ethnically homogenous.
If you dislike this, then you should dislike nioh, nioh2, the last samurai, and shogun for feeling the need to push stories involving foreigners.
@@omegashenron8you literally have not seen gameplay. How would you know… lmao
What message is Ubisoft sending with this? Thousands of historically relevant Japanese samurai and shinobi to choose from and they pick 2 characters that nobody knows even existed in 16th century Japan in their presented form, ie. a black samurai and a female shinobi. (#YasukeWasNotaSamurai)
What's Ubisoft trying to tell Japanese men here, or men in general?
"Here's your long awaited Japanese edition of Assassin's Creed: you get to kill Japanese men (and obviously the evil conspiring Christians) with a woman and an African."
I'll wait until it's $10 at Game Stop. 😂
What is Rogue shot?
The biggest disgrace is not having Miyamoto Musashi as the main character.
He wouldn't have been born yet at the time.
They would have to come up with some alternate reality Japan because Musashi only became notorious for his legendary skills after Sengoku Jidai. Tokugawa was already a Xogum and Japan was unified.
So true, he should’ve been the main character in nioh and nioh 2, right? Or is that different? 😂😂😂
Yasuke wouldve made a little more sense if he became the assassin/ninja after Nobunaga was betrayed and killed by Mitsuhide. He could have avenged his former lord as historically he fell off the map. You could tie that in. Instead they started this bizarre black samurai fantasy nonsense.
Because he was actually a Samurai who was giant and said to have the strength of 10 men. A giant Samurai would have a tough time being a ninja. There is also some documentation that he fought with one of his fellow Samurai and avenged his friend Nobunaga.
@@kurobeard9467 he was NOT a samurai. Stop reading fiction if you cant discern it from reality.
@@kurobeard9467he was not a samurai you fucking incel dumbass, study history
They should've made him an NPC/side character rather than a protagonist if they're all so obsessed with this nonsense. Exporting of woke culture to other nations is the real colonialism they pretend to care about.
They are fine being cultural saviors though.
@@kurobeard9467he was not a samurai. Look him up on Wikipedia
If it were based on historical facts, the story would end without the main character achieving much.
Yup, Oda was assasinated. We know the outcome, we would like to know how are they going to execute the process. I wish to know the internal struggle this foreign warrior possible had when lost he lord who treated him way better than Portuguese.
@@chengkuoklee5734 Unfortunately, no such description remains. If someone says that, it's a fabrication. It's impossible to learn that in this non-historical game.
If people want historical accuracy in a game, they shouldn't play Assasin's Creed. NONE of them were accurate at all. Ya'll should have known this since game one. People losing their shit over this are being ridiculous. Samurai or not, Yasuke's life is very intriguing cause we don't know what's more true or interpreted. Stop fucking whining. It's funny how the hate comments I've been seeing are from non Japanese people
These people really believe an Order of Templars and a Brotherhood of Assassins actually exists and they are searching high technology artifacts created by an anscient human kind 😅
You have to watch Metatron's video.
We cannot say for certain that he was samurai. However, we also cannot say for certain that he was strictly a sword bearer. He was still made bushi and earned a stipend.
Servants earned stipends, which is what he was.
@@braticuss all samurai where servants and if you read his records he only sometimes held nobunagas weapons other then they he was a high ranking warrior fighting for his feudal lord
@@braticussdamn, javi just called you a retard.
Last good game ubisoft released was anno 1800, literally built upon what made anno great in the first place. Such a surprise just how amazing they managed to make that game.
Nioh and Shogun exist and no one complained about that
Both of those are Losely based on the same real guy and Nioh can do what it wants as it is a Japanese studio that made it, Also those two things were not made because of political or ideological reasons where as the new AC game 100% is.

The answer is no, of course, but it’s because the main protagonist in these Japanese based stories/game or white men. And Yasuke is an actual historical figure, and a famous foreign one. The Ubisoft stated that they wanted to use a foreign character exploring Japan, so the player could learn about Japan just like the character. That means that you were going to use a non-Japanese protagonist. If you went with the historical white man, like William Adams (the character for Nioh and Shogun) we can safely say that there would not be anyone crying “DEI” and “virtue signaling”. You would have some people complaining about “white savior tropes”, and others calling complainers “SJWs” and “Woke”. But there wouldnt be 650k dislikes on the trailer video in 3 days. Think about that when people are posting about historical accuracy, or distorting the VERY documented history Yasuke to say that he was not a Bisho, or warrior, or samurai (as understood during the Sengoku period)

I think the major issue is that it's just realistic enough to seem like genuine asian erasure, the concept of a black samurai is cool and has been done to great effect in the past but it needs to be done in a way that doesn't seek to outshine native Japanese people

I want to point something. AC1 was about crusades and the lead was an arabic assasin Altair. AC2 was in Italy with Enzio as lead. AC 3 was north america with Connor as a native'. Black flag was about pirates with a welsh pirate as lead. Unity was about french revolution with Arno as lead. Syndicate was about 2 brithish brothers. Origin was about Bayek an egyptian. Odysey was about Alexios/Cassandra as greeks. Valhalla was about Eivor a viking. Shadows, should stage the "father of all assasins" a main lead shinobi/ninja japanese character, insteed we got a character who s almost non reprezentative for that country. They could use Yasuke as a dlc like Adewale in Black Flag.
Ezio is Italian and was the MC of a game based in turkey and they had a Welsh guy as the lead for a game set in the Caribbean…
@@TrixieMatteI AC Revelation is part of the Ezio trilogy...so naturally they fallow his story in Constantinopole. Black Flag was about the golden age of piracy...it that period the most representative pirates where english or french.
How come there isn't this type of controversy when it comes to Nintendo and Mario, Mario is an Italian plumber, that looks Mexican, created by Japanese people, that speaks English. Why isn't their backlash about this s***. Get over yourselves, when I play a game I look at story and gameplay, and so far, this looks like it's shaping up to be a decent game based on those two facts. Let's be honest if both of the people portraying the protagonists in this game were of Japanese descent, there would be a shift and what's happening now and people would be saying, "not all samurai have to be depicted as Japanese"! There is not a world where everyone is happy, and everyone is pleased. No matter how this game was made or who the protagonists were depicted as in this woke nation with a bunch of half wits, sissies, and people who get offended at everything, this was bound to happen in some way shape or form. I say get over yourselves, and rate the game for its story and gameplay, not it's historical accuracy. Can anyone tell me where in history was there a cult of assassins in every culture whose motto was we work in the dark to serve the light as being historically accurate. Nobody on this planet will be able to tell me where in history that is historically accurate. It's a game people!

Pretty sure yasuke was a vassal who pledged his loyalty to a lord but it doesn’t necessarily mean he was a samurai
Well he’s named in a manuscript written by one of Oda’s vassals as both a page and a “samurai”. With it being mentioned he already had the likeness of one via the armor he wore. So especially on the battlefield, he may as well have been a samurai.
he stayed in japan for about a year and was sold back to jesuits right after, you have to read about it from the man that owned yasuke himself, but it's not just the only problem of the game, it's also attacking the man honor of knighthood of the samurai, you don't assassinate people as a samurai, you don't use dirty tricks, dissimulate or kill people from behind. it attacks masculanity and the japanese woman is, to not be disrespectfull either but not truely japanese by japanese standard themselves, but she is a zainichi, wich means that assassin's creed gone from usually fighting against jesuit influence in the story, to totally embracing jesuit subversion and working for them as a total 180, but ask from japaneses what they also think of the rendition of towns , shinobis, that are filled with chinese furnitures and lamps... This disrespects more then just history, honor, and man.

...good thing I know to separate fact from fiction. It's Assassin's Creed. Ubisoft isn't changing history they're just using it for the plot of their game.
Imagine being so pretentious that you can't play or enjoy a game because somewhere through your thick skull a voice is crying and complaining:
"nO! tHIs iSnT hIsToRiCaLlY AcCuRaTe!"
Well the graphics look great, you’ve got to admit, although this is Ubisoft we’re dealing with, so I’m more inclined to reserve judgement until gameplay footage is released.
As for the black samurai, yes Yasuke was a historical figure. He was in Japan and was sold to Nobunaga, who made him a retainer. We don’t know whether he was a Samurai or not, the historical records aren’t clear on that. I do think that Ubisoft is using an outlier for the purposes of DEI, though.
If we look at the original AC, Altaïr was ethnically Arab, in AC II Ezio was a southern European in Italy. In AC3 Connor was half Native American. In Unity Arno was a Frenchman, in Syndicate the twins were English, Origins had African assassins, Odyssey had a Greek, Valhalla had a Norse, Mirage had an Arab, they’re all in keeping with the cultures and and times they’re set in, despite other inaccuracies, so why doesn’t the Japanese entry have a Japanese man as the main protagonist… it’s DEI. The AC franchise has been plummeting regarding anything in the way of historical faithfulness since Odyssey, in my opinion, and replacing the ethnic majority with an outlier is just the next step for Ubisoft.
Was the game Nioh an example of virtue signaling and DEI pandering or woke?
How about the movie “The Last Samurai”, starring Tom Cruise?
How about the miniseries “Shogun”?
The answer is no, of course, but it’s because the main protagonist in these Japanese based stories/game or white men. And Yasuke is an actual historical figure, and a famous foreign one.

That means that you were going to use a non-Japanese protagonist. If you went with the historical white man, like William Adams (the character for Nioh and Shogun) we can safely say that there would not be anyone crying “DEI” and “virtue signaling”. You would have some people complaining about “white savior tropes”, and others calling complainers “SJWs” and “Woke”. But there wouldnt be 650k dislikes on the trailer video in 3 days. Think about that when people are posting about historical accuracy, or distorting the VERY documented history Yasuke to say that he was not a Bisho, or warrior, or samurai (as understood during the Sengoku period)
Ninja in politics being involved with the order of assassins would've been pretty original and creative.
Woke: We want to see more representation in games.
Asian: That would be nice.
Woke: Not for you, you're not brown enough
Yes famously Asians have no representation in video games ……..including this one where one of the main protags is a Japanese woman……good call

What really matters is the price and the micro transactions,

And despite it not being historically accurate,
To me This is the REAL double standard and hypocrisy.
The difference would've been a Japanese man and woman partnering up, rather than the two just being the same person like the ghost of Tsushma.
Yasuke being a samurai is a myth within the japanese and foreign cultures to what actually happened within the true history just for the simple fact that theres not much we really know about him so whatever happens in the game never really happened its just a what if there going with with real person in my opinion he couldve been a an important side character and not main i think they went a far left just stuck with a single main character that went with the scenery i usually just dont care about the woke agenda or any political agenda thats happened in the past decades with any entertainment i just a watch a movie to watch a movie a play a game to play game if i dont like i dont like it if do i do its not that deep people just make it that way just to have something to talk about things are going controversial in anything no matter what its like talking about someone thats done some shit 40 yrs ago and person has been dead for 10 like whats the point and even if the person was guilty there dead
Same here. I only just heard about Shadows trailer since they announced project RED years ago and now, having watched the trailer and find it intriguing, with one Assassin/one Templar, One Asian Female Ninja/ One African Male Samurai. Only to scroll down the comments and see people nitpicking, just for the sake of nitpicking, like much of the comments just straight up sound petty, without any real sentiment other than they want the game not to be their liking so they could have something negative to say about it.
I’ve always heard people say over the years that they want an assassin’s creed in Japan and I love Japan but like……it isn’t going to do it for me when it comes to climbing. I’ll always prefer buildings like the ones in France and Italy

What should have made it stand out from those games is that Ubisoft should have made this game 5-10 years ago. And released this game FIRST.
They had the obvious template and everyone was asking for it. But they waited too long and now they're playing a game of catchup. Now they're having to work too hard to stand out when they could have just.... done what the fans wanted ages ago.
To clarify.
I think Yasuke could be an interesting story, but like... my biggest concern is that he'll end up being just a western insert character or pandering character, rather than a man of either his own culture or the culture of the area he's from. Yasuke's story could be really interesting to tell, but the circumstances of this attempt to tell it... as what feels like a marketing driven decision... leads me to believe it will fall short on the NARRATIVE driven decisions.
A retainer refers to a vassal in feudal Japan, usually a samurai providing military services. This suit dates to around 1850 and although decorative, it is more restrained and practical than many samurai armours.

I'm just disappointed I dont get to play as a Japanese guy in a Assassin's Creed game
I dont get why they did it cause the Assassin's Creed franchise has always been diverse they have been set in all kinds of countries and you get to play as all kinds of races
In Italy you played a Italian, in Egypt you played a Egyptian, In France you played a French, In Greece you played a Greek but then in Japan you cant play a Japanese dude
It gose against there pattern as well they usually have historical figures as side characters to work with the main character is usually a fictional character
And I'm disappointed in the lack of being accreat with history cus one of the things that always impressed me about the Assassin's Creed games is how they were accreat with the historical figures but worked the fictional protagonist in there with them
Like I didn't know Leonardo da Vinci was Biesexual until I played Assassin's Creed one of the games Implied he was experimenting with his sexuality so I looked it up in real life and there was suspicions he was Gay or Biesexual
But now you have people saying this was the first black Samurai and others saying if you look it up he wasn't actually a Samurai
We have already had black Assassin's in AC Freedom Cry and AC Liberation I would have been down with it if a different game set in Africa or somewhere else did another black Assassin but whatever theres nothing that can be done now at least the game itself sounds good they said the guy is brute force cus he has a big spikey club and the girl is stealthy im more of a stealth fan
I got bored
@pyrocinical299 same bro i dont get why people are getting so mad over yusuke being black, i even saw someone call him a Ordinary slave instead of a samurai. xD
@pyrocinical299 Funny you should say people dont know there history cus some say he wasn't a Samurai but to be honest it dosnt matter if he was a Samurai or not the game is set in Japan and out off all the Japanese people they could have chosen they chose the 1 black dude
In all the other games you play as people that are the same race as the natives of the country the game is set in but this game you play as a black guy in Japan they chose him pacifically for his skin colour and everyone knows it
Surely its wrong to change Japanese culture like it was wrong to change Egyptian culture with the black Cleopatra in Netflix documentary when she would have had olive skin and surly its racist to only pick a guy from history only for his skin colour
@pyrocinical299 yasuke stayed in japan for about a year and was given back to jesuit without ever participating in any war or battle as a samurai, ever. from real history records and journals written in real life from the era. not your modern pretend fantasies dude, stop copy pasting pure lies shnozeguard
@pyrocinical299 He wasn't even a samurai. Ubisoft simply just tried to find 1 black dude that existed in this time to justify trying to be "diverse" as usual. Diversity is cool but when it doesn't make sense for the story it falls apart.
9:17 good point
Rise of Ronin is the bakumatsu, late 1800s.
Ghost of Tsushima was well before AC Shadows.
AC Shadows is set in the late 1500s. Very different time periods.
I dont think thats an excuse to trash authenticity and historical accuracy, you know everything that made AC great?
Ghost of Tsushima is very different controls from AC.
AC Odyssey is my favorite game.
An AC Odyssey in Japan was my dream even after Ghost of Tsushima.

Ubisoft collecting ESG points. No wonder japanese people are upset, especially when Yasuke was nothing but a glorified pet to Nobunaga.
Context: He was never a samurai. He was basically a pet of Oda Nobunaga who took him as a gift from Italian missionaries. Due to his color, size, and strength Oda would keep him around to cheer him up. There is even a painting showing Oda watching Yasuke wrestle other men for entertainment. He was given the title of Kosho which is basically a page (servant). When Oda was assassinated Yasuke was told to give up his sword by the killers to which he complied. He was then taken to Christian missionaries to heal. That was the last recording of Yasuke.
I wonder if they're going to play into Nobunaga being into men/boys. I don't know whether it's 100% confirmed but that surely was the word on the street at the time.
They might score some LGBT points that way.
@@MustardSkaven Everything is possible. More ESG points!

Every Assassin's Creed game have always been fictional characters based on their country of origin. Any historical figure has always been a side character or supporting character.

Article "The Bogus Story of Yasuke & "wokeness" revisionist history" - February 18, 2021
Assassin's Creed was never about historical accuracy, that's especially apparent to anyone that has played the very first game. The scientist explained that books are just a persons opinion about history and the truth is actually hidden and suppressed. Also looking at the sequel there's many things that takes the game right into sci-fi with alien gods, human god hybrids, mind controlling apple of Eden and other pieces of Eden, not to mention two secret world spanning factions that have shaped history for thousands of years. The games story is built on the primass of altered history so historical accuracy of anything in Assassin's Creed is laughable.
I cant wait to play this ngl, i think the reason they went with a female protag is exactly because they didnt want to do like GoT.
Also the male character is Yasuke
they couldve pick Musashi, but oh well thats Ubicrap to you

@@averagesizedjoeWell he at least saw a decent bit of action, and was with Nobunaga for the Honoiji incident and survived.

It’s harder to write different takes on people already so well established like Oda Nobunaga.
