Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Its a problem now because is supposed to be hystorical accurate as they said, taking advantage of Lockley momentum to reaffirm his position as a samurai as a fact.
Wrong.

should he do something, kill him. We were even more fearful because, after Nobunaga's death, the cafre that the Visitor Father, by his own choice, had left with Nobunaga went to the prince’s house and spent a long time there fighting. A servant of Akechi approached him and asked for his katana, telling him not to be afraid. The cafre handed it over, and another servant went to ask Akechi what should be done with him. Akechi replied: 'This cafre is a animal, knows nothing, and is not even Japanese. Do not kill him; just take him to the church of the priests from India.' This brought us some relief, especially when we saw the great mercy of the Lord in allowing Nobunaga’s brother-in-law to leave for Sakai a few days earlier, because, without a doubt, to save the brother-in-law, who was also to be killed, it would have been necessary to set fire to our- (church, maybe)

so, can we agree, that by this piece, it seens that he was not respected by Akechi that was one of Odas generals ? that he wasn't even granted a samurai/warriors death after failing his lord ?There are three Portugese letters/Diaries linked in a post in that thread, with also a bunch of Japanese documents
But yeah there are documents that back up some of the stories
You can't fool me with this.
This is a direct response of the Japanese reaction against the controversy, which made them rethink their approach. They did not go for fantasy interpretation initially, it was stated on their site. Hence why is directly aimed at the japanese community.
Wrong.

No one's trying to fool you.
All AC games start with a disclaimer about it being a fictional story, from the first AC game all the way to the latest one (Mirage). Something like this:

If you choose to ignore it, that's entirely on you.

In an asmongold video he had a guy pick apart leaves since in real life it doesn’t make sense some of the trees bloom at the same time as others. That’s a very niche nit pick that isn’t even political so I don’t think anyone except that guy cares about accuracy of leaves and plants blooming.
You're not talking about AC, you're talking about AC.I ain't talkiing abou AC in general. Im talking about AC Shadow.
You mean he wasn't respected by the guy who betrayed Nobunaga? No shit.so, can we agree, that by this piece, it seens that he was not respected by Akechi that was one of Odas generals ? that he wasn't even granted a samurai/warriors death after failing his lord ?
I feel like Ubi lost the plot on Valhalla. Origins was great. Odyssey was good, especially if you are on PC and can mod out some of the merc stupidity and XP gain curve.That's not true, there's been "supernatural shit" in the base game of every single AC, even in black flag where you can encounter the ghost ship and stuff, odyssey had the legendary animals and 4 mythical beasts etc, and valhalla has the same and you have the entire asgard saga which isn't dlc, all of the mythical gear like thor's hammer, and that little thing where odin himself is trying to take over your body.
No dlc required.
You clearly are.
I ain't talkiing abou AC in general. Im talking about AC Shadow. They did this on purpose, they just retracted that because that would bring fight with the actual japanese folks.
You're not talking about AC, you're talking about AC.

Every AC is historical fiction.
Valhalla though … just was not great.

How Assassin’s Creed Shadows Will Blend Two Distinct Adventures in One - Xbox Wire
We interviewed the Game Director of Assassin's Creed Shadows to discover more about its dual protagonists, how it continues the RPG systems of previous games, and that long-awaited Japanese setting.news.xbox.com
We’re showing real historical figures, such as Oda Nobunaga and a lot of events that happened during that time, so you’re not only playing in feudal Japan, but learning about this fantastic time period.
This was a responce to that stupid allegation about 'all japanese folks whinning about AC are actually american alt-wing smurf accounts using google translator to be fake japanese'
There's stupid discourse on multiple fronts, whoda thunk.
Oda Nobunaga has been in many games before.
Nothing new here.
wait, but he is a samurai remember ? normally samurais commit seppuku when they fail their lords or are captured by the enemy, as far as i know, in wars or coups, is pretty unusual to the enemy let someone important as a Samurai just leave as someone of no importance, but maybe Akechi was bff with Yasuke too and didnt wanted to kill his friend or maybe, just maybe by this HISTORICAL LETTER, he wasnt considered that much of a samurai by the other Japanese ppl around Oda, such racists right ?You mean he wasn't respected by the guy who betrayed Nobunaga? No shit.
You're not talking about AC, you're talking about AC.

We're all talking about AC games, which have all been fictional stories set in period appropriate worlds. The pope, reportedly, didn't have a fist fight with an assassin in the Vatican either as far as I know.
Even in the announcement blog on Ubi's website, it clearly says that the ambiguity in Yosuke's story allows them to be creative, they never said they intend it to be a retelling of real world events.
It's fiction. Treat it like fiction.
I .. don't understand why *this* one has become such a sticking point for some folks, lol.
I guess you are missing the entire point, but thats OK.
Theres a clear difference between using fictional characters in conjuction with real ones in a fantasy rather than stating this is all hystorically accurate. And no, the site as I said was updated because of the controversy regarding the japanese community criticism, they didn't plan this at the start. Those statements all changed.
You don't understand probably because you don't care. Thats ok though but I wouldn't throw cold water on the actual people who got mad about (japaneses).
...it literally doesn't matter, it's still historical fiction; just because da vinci wasn't "the main character" in AC2 doesn't mean he was actually the Q gadget master for a secret assassin organisation as AC makes him out to be.I'm talking specifically about Assassin Creed Shadows.
Why not AC in general? Because Shadows was the first bold move of them to actually using real character as a main character instead of using fictional ones.
I think the definitive version was when Oda Nobunaga was an anime girl. I am sure there was more than one such production out of glorious Nippon.There's stupid discourse on multiple fronts, whoda thunk.

1. They never said it's historically accurate. None of the AC games have been.
I think the definitive version was when Oda Nobunaga was an anime girl. I am sure there was more than one such production out of glorious Nippon.![]()
Yes they said, they stated on their website before they edited after the events with the japanese community. I'm not talking about all AC, I already made that point very clear.
I mean I assume Nobunaga is wearing historical Japanese armor there. Looks legit!
And the seppuku part would be a counter argument as I mentioned in the post before:wait, but he is a samurai remember ? normally samurais commit seppuku when they fail their lords or are captured by the enemy, as far as i know, in wars or coups, is pretty unusual to the enemy let someone important as a Samurai just leave as someone of no importance, but maybe Akechi was bff with Yasuke too and didnt wanted to kill his friend or maybe, just maybe by this HISTORICAL LETTER, he wasnt considered that much of a samurai.
Day one mod will remove day one Patch
dont need to argue, i already agreed with you, i m 100% team Yasuke samurai now, i was just hypothetically speaking, everyone know his importance through japan history, didnt ppl watched Afro Samurai ?And the seppuku part would be a counter argument as I mentioned in the post before:
It’s uncertain. Heavy evidence suggests he was, but there’s also some other things implying he wasn’t.
Evidence suggesting that he wasn't:
- He was a foreigner
- He did not commit seppuku, but was instead sent away
- He did not have a last name
Evidence suggesting that he was:
- He was given a sword
- He was given a stipend
- He was given a house
- Locals thought he would be made a lord
- He fought alongside Nobunaga's son
- He was a kosho, ostensibly serving as a weapons bearer
- He was at Nobunaga's side during an inspection
- One particular incident mentions Nobunaga dismissing his "regular" soldiers, but Yasuke remained alongside him
Note that none of that definitely confirms or refutes the notion. For instance, samurai having a mononym aren't unheard of (I'll need to look this up more).
When I said that it was debatable, you went, lolno, and proceeded to accuse me of saying he was a superhero and used Thomas Lockley's credibility as a counter argument when I didn't even bring him up.
Find me an archived version or any source that shows that they explicitly cited AC Shadows as being historically accurate to its character's depictions.
I have shown you multiple sources where they said the opposite.
Your turn.
It's clear that the white knights are not arguing in good faith.You can't fool me with this.
This is a direct response of the Japanese reaction against the controversy, which made them rethink their approach. They did not go for fantasy interpretation initially, it was stated on their site. Hence why is directly aimed at the japanese community.
I would have to stop everything I'm doing to provide you a part of the advertizing stating that.
If Ubisoft had a shred of honour they would shut this game down and close the studio.
Does this mean that a GTA Japan setting will never ever happen?![]()
He wasn't all that important to Japanese history. But he was noteworthy enough to be named and have multiple sources and potential depictions about him, which is more than every other Assassin's Creed protagonist, none of which actually existed.dont need to argue, i already agreed with you, i m 100% team Yasuke samurai now, i was just hypothetically speaking, everyone know his importance through japan history, didnt ppl watched Afro Samurai ?
Yes, but we must ignore that and instead hate on random youtubers who mostly just repeat what the public is already saying.
We almost had that game in Sleeping Dogs. God damn Square
The gores are still there for the hostile enemies. They just remove it from the innocent civiliansCensoring gore instead of making it optional?
I'm out.
