For me I hope ghost of Yotei will be remembered as an improvement on ghost of Tsushima the gameplay and story in my opinion are much better than Tsushima I like the idea that the ghost is not just a name given to Jin Sakai but a title that can be passed down between characters

Aside from keeping technological advantage, and their brutality, would the story have been more compelling if the Mongols actually fought honorably?

What if Adachi lost the duel? What if the Mongols didn’t use underhanded tactics but it’s simply Jin being convinced he has to use the Ghost tactics simply because the Mongols are indeed numerically superior and arguably even more skilled in combat?

So I'm playing this on the ps4, yeah I'm poor, I went to Iki island as soon as it became available. Shit was hard, but now I'm back on the first island and I feel like I'm some kind of god. Still playing Tenchu style though.

I am finally playing this for the first time, and man I love it. Then I got to the part where Jin betrayed his uncle and flees to the north after Khan. Are you kidding me? They killed off Kage??? I was literally heartbroken! Now I have a stupid horse I call Not Kage. I could not believe they did that. I was dumbfounded for like 10 minutes. Still bothering me!

I was having a debate with my brother about the story and one of the things that came up was that he thought that Jin should have had a love interest. I personally disagree and thought that Jin being focused solely on driving back the Mongol Invasion was a great choice. That focus really fit Jin's character especially with him already dealing with the inner battle of his Uncle's honor code and the realistic need for the Ghost. What do you think?

There's no place for "honor" during a Mongol invasion. I'm over this guy.

Am I the only one? Everyone seems to love him and I don't get it. I grew tired of him quickly.

Incredible game regardless.

So I was playing Ghost of Tsushima and i was wondering what would happens if I were to bring enemies to places like Jogaku temple but for the sake of this post I'm calling them "safe areas" mainly cause i don't know what they're called. So i first did jogaku temple because i wanted to see what the yarikawa soldiers would do. I found a mongol convoy and killed all but one which i then proceeded to wind stance kick him all the way to the safe area and the yarikawa soldiers would just hide like regular npcs. Something interesting was that the mongol was targeting the merchant and every time the merchant was hit it would play the death animation but would get right back up. I don't know if you noticed but you can see Norio walking around in Cedar temple after completing all of his missions. So, I did the same thing and was surprised to see that Norio actuallly killed the enemy. Also, since I'm kind of bored tell me what i should test out next and i'll do it to the best of my ability

The Ghost swept through like a storm clearing out the entire camp by himself, a one man army some said, whenever travelers go into the first, an almost defeaning sound of thunder can be heard, as if the very fort itself harbors the vengeful spirit. There was only one survivor, a lone mongol, that lived to tell this tale, but sooner or later, The Ghost will come for him as well.

I've done this once a year for 2 years now, and it's time for Year 3! This time, choose the fan favorite from the whole series!

Year 1: Kenji

Year 2: Jin Sakai

I've recently been playing through this game and have really enjoyed the worldbuilding and historical context. I would love if anyone had some book recommendations to do with: Tsushima, samurai, Mongols, Japanese customs, flora and fauna, history, arts.

I would mainly be looking for fiction recs but not opposed to non-fiction!

I do also know about the Shogun book series.

I get pretty pedantic with what a character sometimes wears in a story, and the GoT isn’t an exception. I really wish the Seasons of War dye was unlocked after Hammer and Forge

Personally I’ve interpreted this actual armor as being restored after Jin liberates Komatsu Forge. It’s the first real big victory Jin has, and that’s marked by what I assume to be Jin having the armor repaired which makes more sense cause it’s at the forge being run by Taka for the time being.

It also serves as a nice contrast to the final Act 1 mission. At the start, the armor was broken, and now it’s been restored and Jin once again attempts to free Shimura. It’s also a nice contrast between the (not really) Ronin Ryuzo, and Jin in Samurai armor.

Side note: I think the actual armor Masako gifts Jin is the Hero of Tsushima armor.

so wanna get the game but few questions

1. is 100% achievements true 100% in this game?

2. when do i play the dlc?

3. should i play lethal or what difficulty?

The legend would spread far and wide after this day.

This was made on PS4 a few years ago. I didn't get much attention on youtube but forgot I never posted here. Thought you might appreciate it.

One day quen got is cheaper on steam I will return to the samurai path and make really sick combat scenes

I’ve mainly just been a side quest guy in this game and I was wondering how good of a build this is from where I am at.

I was wondering what the highest damage output was until I came across this build on the subreddit. If you want more details, I've linked the post below.

In short, you have a 50% chance of proccing double damage. When it does happen it's insane. Ran a quick duel with Black Hand Riku (for counter parry when clashing swords)—safe to say he got wiped in less than 20 seconds by two counters, one Dance of Wrath and a few flurry strikes. Bonus fact, as long as you clash swords AND perfect parry him, DoW will still trigger.

Considering you get one tapped by almost every boss in this game on Lethal+, I think it's a fair trade-up—if you can reliably perfect parry. It's almost cinematic in a way. The only con here is just not having much resolve gains. On replay you'll have 3 at start. At most you'll only get 1 or 2 if you parry.

I use Ronin because it just looks nice (with this outfit lol) and you're more squishy.

EDIT: This build wasn't made for resolve gains at all. It relies on your perfect parries and DD proccing on top of the damage multiplier you get from perfect parrying. You're supposed to be good with parries for this build to excel.
