Who at KT pushed Team Ninja to go woke?

>>723723589 (OP)
can't really complain after they made william adams a legendary swordsman that fucked some japanese model they facescanned

>>723723589 (OP)
It gets a pass because the character himself doesn't say he's a Samurai.

>>723723589 (OP)
KT and TN were making a fantasy game. Ubisoft pretends to be "HISTORICALLY ACCURATR"

>>723723589 (OP)
Was pretty sure when you encounter this guy in Nioh 2 it's pre-william
I think the only time you see him again after that he's a ghost.

He says in game Nobunaga will make him a samurai when his conquest is completed.

>>723724241
So he doesn't say he's a samurai

Say what you want, but the Yasuke scenes in Nioh 1 were fucking amazing. This is how you write a non-woke African character.

He's a cool character and has been in nobunagas ambition for decades so he gets some love. His SW5 depiction is great too

Or, you could just not have them in a game set in Sengoku Japan

I pre-ordered Nioh 3 Digital Deluxe Edition on Steam. I love how Nioh 3 is massively reducing the RPG elements and massively increasing the ACTION elements of the Nioh formula. Team Ninja is taking a huge shit in the mouth of all the Nioh 2 subhuman fanboys who claimed for years that "Nioh 2 perfected the Nioh formula". Imagine getting refuted and BTFO'd by the developers themselves, it is so humiliating for them.

>Leveling up attributes reduced and the weapon scalings simplified
>The amount of returning Nioh 2 dedicated Samurai weapons with weapon stances system reduced to only 7 from 11.
>All the new dedicated Ninja Style weapons are Ninja Gaiden inspired and focus heavily on action and aerial movement.
>Switching between Samurai Style and Ninja Style is completely optional
>Ninja Style can dispel Yokai Realm
>Team Ninja confirmed you can beat the entire game as a Ninja Style purist
>Onmyo magic completely gutted and simplified
>Living Weapons are back and stronger than ever

I can't wait to enjoy Nioh 3, the game that made Nioh 2 irrelevant and avenged Nioh 1 bros. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Team Ninja.

Nioh is all about featuring every famous figure from the period it can, why would they exclude someone who nobunaga had a strong relationship with?

>>723725349
>strong relationship
That's like saying Moot had a strong relationship with random mod#477.
A retainer=/= Samurai.

>>723723589 (OP)
Probably because he wasn't on the cover and Koei wasn't hiring people to go "Man Yasuke sure was an HONORABLE SAMURAI JUST AS GOOD AS ANY JAP"

>>723725748
>Moot had a strong relationship with random mod#477.
Bring back Snacks faggot!

>>723725748
You can read primary sources describing them as incredible friendly, thanks to japanese custom as well they were probably also buttfucking eachother

>>723723589 (OP)
They're never going to make a game as good as Nioh 2 again
Nioh 3 previews look like shit

>>723724493
I'd say Yasuke was handled well in both games. He's just a loyal dude who safeguards Nobunaga's resting place. In the sequel he's goofy as fuck in a good way, with amusing reactions like when you use the hot spring mid mission.
