I am quite familiar with Japanese culture compared to average westerners, having grown up with some Japanese(lived near embassy). Parts of many trailers made me cringe, things from different eras occurred, vegetations and crops are wrong, religious practices mixes with each other, straight up chinese culture instead of japanese. It’s really just a cash grab.
yeah a lot of people didn't like the fact that he is black. I didn't like the fact that he is black. Because he is the protagonist of an AC game set in fricking Japan at a time period where the Japanese were about the only people there. It makes no sense to have a black protagonist dressed up as a samurai and playing pretend. If they had him come in as a complete outsider, and you got to play as him as he slowly learned about the culture and adapted to it, that might have been fine. I mean it still wouldn't be better than having a Japanese main character. But it wasn't JUST because he was black. Bayek from AC origin was a well loved protagonist, and I have more than 400 hours in that game too. He was voiced by a black VA, and they made him look like a black man too with his dreads. Nobody was complaining because even though he wasn't Egyptian per se, it was plausible. Egypt did have a kush dynasty at one point so its not strange having an African protagonist. Here its just tone deaf. Especially since they were taking an actual historical figure, and then also making him gay on top of that. Seriously, a giant gay black samurai in Edo period Japan? its ridiculous.

We don’t know if they made him gay but I just don’t like the way Ubisoft was using Yasuke to gain profit instead focusing on making a good game.
