Ghost of Yōtei - Announce Trailer REACTION!!

[@burnt-croissants]

i love the idea of the Ghost series being an anthology, letting us explore new areas of Japan in different pivotal time periods with a different Ghost every time.

[@warrust]

Most importantly, showcasing the various beautiful locales

[@rocketeer101]

True. I am really happy that it wasn't a continuation of Jin Sakai as I had hoped. Jin's story already peaked. Any additional story beats will only be inferior. I was hoping we would get Meiji period, period where Rurouni Kenshin took place if I am not mistaken. But after watching Shogun, I kinda felt like they would go with the 1600s first, which coincidentally happened.

[@Commander_Shepard.]

It's like Assassin's Creed....but better.

[@JK_of_Today]

I see a lot of people disappointed that Jin isn’t back but honestly I feel like his story ended perfectly. I don’t think they need to bring him back for the sake of bringing him back.

[@chaost4544]

Agreed

[@beardedchild]

I'm disappointed but so effing hyped still. I hope Jins story is explored in a musicians story. Go to musician and get the Tale Of Jin. And you get his OG Ghost Armour

[@Nightley4]

Well, with the ending where Jin puts on the mask i was really looking forward to see how his legend continues, it was kind of open ended. But i understand why they chose a new character and time period, it would have been too limiting to stick with Jin Sakai.

[@phantomarceus6387]

@@Nightley4I mean, that isn’t the end of his journey though. The Iki Island expansion is.

[@TheZenyaNova]

I could see them bringing him back in the Mythic Tales. Maybe it's one of the first you do and Jin's story is what inspires this new character to take on the title of Ghost. I love this direction. Instead of centering around one character its centered around the symbol of the Ghost. This lets the team at Sucker Punch expand into new areas of Japan, new era's, especially those not widely known in the western world. A lot like what they did for Tsushima, I did not know much about the Mongol invasion of Japan or even the Island of Tsushima before the game.

[@nicolaslabra2225]

I’m so hyped for this game. It’s takes place in Hokkaido apparently which is pretty cool

[@2000megan]

[@lucasbelmonte2832]

At this time it was basically Japan's wild west, a lawless and wild frontier not fully controlled by Japan

[@brianhouston5368]

@@lucasbelmonte2832 That's definitely the impression that the trailer gave. Seemed like a very sparsely populated land. I never played Ghost of Tsushima, but I think I'll give this a look.

[@鎖骨好き]

1603 was the year when the Edo shogunate was opened by Tokugawa Ieyasu. "Ezo (Hokkaido)" is still an undeveloped land, and it was also a time when the Ainu, an indigenous people, lived in harmony with nature. We may see battles with the Ainu who resist the expansion of control by the Shogunate forces.

[@ObligedUniform]

​@@brianhouston5368 Definitely try it out imo. Maybe when we finally get a specific release date besides 2025 for this one!

[@TheGhost-7002]

That’s not Mt Fuji. It’s Mt Yotei (hence the name). It is often referred to as Little Fuji due to its resemblance though 😂

[@samcarter565]

The Ainu people of the Hokkaido region also call it the ‘female mountain’.

[@thedarkknight2221]

Erika Ishii who plays Atsu the lead character for Ghost Of Yōtei also plays Sektor in the new DLC expansion for MK1, which dropped the same day as this announcement. So yesterday was a big day for her.

oh I think they've been on Critical Role as well

[@razorback139]

Not to mention Valkyrie on Apex if I'm not mistaken

[@moondancer89]

I'm actually glad they're not going with a direct sequel, this way they completely avoid people's expectations of a sequel story involving Jin and can just do a completely new thing, (while keeping the incredible mechanics and art style from the first game). Also considering this takes place around the same time as Shogun it'll be interesting to see any parallels that come up in terms of where Japanese society is at.

[@dereklong05]

At this time Hokkaido is not part of Japan and the Japan government is expanding their territory northward, I believe we are playing as the native who fight against Tokugawa government, which SP done a great job using Japanese instrument playing western style music

[@NoName1462]

I'm hoping Jin is going to be a Mythic Tale encounter where you earn the Ghost ability & the armor.

[@ConnerKent08]

1600 is around the time William Adams sailed to Japan, same time period of Shogun

[@arustyitalianhairyasscheek5305]

Cool we'll slay some Yokai with him then.

[@ColdSoupDynasty]

Don't care what anyone says, i'm hyped for now

[@Nyx_2142]

The only two complaints I've seen at all are from delusional people that thought Jin was getting a direct sequel after a pretty definite ending, and the sexist dipshits whining about a female main character and samurai (guess they just ignored Lady Masako). I would go into detail about how the sexist dipshits are historically illiterate morons if they think female samurai didn't exist (Onna-musha are one example) but they don't actually care about historical fact, its just one of their flimsy excuses to try and disguise sexist bullshit.

[@MattashiComposer]

We’re probably gonna have to shred on our Shamisen in certain locations, kinda like how there were haikus in Tsushima.

[@vandermitch5146]

Yup they even Nailed the Portuguese Type matchlock gun

[@PMCook]

[@masonmarlatt15]

Making the series an anthology is actually brilliant and fits the vibe of Akira Kurosawa.

[@chaost4544]

Ghost of Yotei takes place around the time Japan became one of the largest firearms manufacturers in the world and when Japan was going through a lot of change. There's many avenues in this era of Japan that can be explored especially if the conflict of honor remains as a theme from the first game.

[@ar_reactions612]

[@feokazaki]

This year is the beginning of the era that inspired the Shogun series: Tokugawa period. Probably we will see more of japan fighting itself in different clans.

[@longago-igo]

Well, not exactly what was happening in the backwaters of Hokkaido. The war with the Ainu had been settled a couple decades earlier with a trade agreement and in 1604, a year after this is set, Yoshihiro Kakizaki was given a monopoly on trade in the area by the Shogunate. The Matsumae Clan is the only one there, other than the native Ainu.

[@polionly9632]

Guns have been used in Japan's civil wars since the mid-1500s, and Hokkaido, the northern part of Japan where this game takes place, is a cold region located at about the same latitude as, say, Minnesota in the United States. There is nothing climatically incongruous about the images in this trailer. Sucker Punch, well done again.

[@ozyful]

大きな論争が巻き起こるポリコレゲームです

[@haski002]

Looks great honestly! Love the shamisen & wolf imagery instead of foxes & the flute. The look of the main character is cool as hell, plus the western music vibes coming full circle back to japanese samurai films. The classic movie lady with a shamisen killer thing. Very excited to see where this is going. Jin didn't really need another game, and just doing the second mongol invasion of Tsushima would have felt stale, especially since a lot of that game was discovering the island itself. Might be cool if his final fate could be like a side story/dlc mission type thing though.

[@TheIppoippo]

The music having that "wild west" vibe makes sense. Hokkaido is the wild north for Japan, in the same way the US west coast is Wild West. A great example of this analogy is the film "Unforgiven". There's the 1992 Clint Eastwood version in Wild West. There's the 2013 Ken Watanabe version set in Hokkaido (though it's a different time period compared to Ghost of Yotei)

[@TheIppoippo]

I do wonder, there's no way they modelled the whole of Hokkaido. It's a much bigger island compared to Tsushima.

[@hellhoundactual8201]

Take aways: Story is unknown currently Location is Mount Yotei in the Hokkaido Region The year is 1603, the same year the Edo period started as Tokugawa was named Shogun by the Emperor Doggo I look forward to later trailers

[@SteelGnat]

For historical context this was a period Tokugawa takeover of the Shogunate after the battle of Sekigahara in 1600 pre total eradication of to Toyotami clan in Osaka and post Imujin war defeat in korea 5 years ago and the year Tokugawa Ieyasu was given the tittle officially as the Shogun and the modern day Hokkaido was not really part of Japan at this time and most inhabited by Ainu people and vagabonds and Ronins with other exiles honestly read the Manga Vagabond it really good for a perspectives of what happens to the samurais who where on the losing side of all theses wars

[@QuestionableLifeChoices]

6:35 people already said that while GoT didn't actually do much revolutionizing* and was actually pretty basic, it did it all perfectly, the way it should be implemented, and that's why everything is so damn fun. so while i'm sure they'll add or tweak things for yotei, tsushima should hopefully still be returnable lol

[@cptnhero6116]

[@Ryu62Alpha]

In case anyone wants a small info dump, it's pronounced "Yo - Tay - Ee" Mount Yotei is in Hokkaido, the northern island of Japan. It was called Ezochi at the time 1600s is near the tale end of the Sengoku Jidai, the warring states period of Japan, so lots of firearms floating around

[@Nekotaku_TV]

Yootei, there's no A there so why'd you say Yotai haha? But I'm not sure if it's tei or tee, because in Japanese e+i=ee a lot of the time.

[@ZVIDSHAREPRODUCTIONS]

"A Lord Sakai." Did yall not catch that at the very most it's, Lady Sakai? LOL.

[@kevinb1721]

I hope blind wave watches Blue Eye Samurai sometime

[@bando6558]

Yotei is a mountain in Hokkaido. The region of Hokkaido is known for its bears and wolves as well as being the most hostile of all the regions in Japan in terms of climate and conditions. It’s also the second largest of the Japanese islands so it’ll definitely be a bigger map. I’m very excited for this game simply because it’s going to show us the direction for the series. To me the series is predicated on old style Japanese samurai films, which served as inspiration for spaghetti westerns. That’s why the music sounded very similar to something out of a Clint Eastwood film. If the series decides to continue in this samurai western style, I see a lot of story potential for each game.

[@richardfeynman4452]

Reviews are just insane rn, I just searched to see the trailer fo the 1st time and 10 videos calling the game woke popped first.

big hype, i still need to 100% this

[@tanvu2728]

1600s Japan is after the Sengoku Period (aka after Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi (Taiko) from the SHOGUN tv series) This is when Tokugawa (Toranaga) rise to power, the European brought flintlock guns to Japan for about a few hundred years by now. I am expecting to see this era involve fighting against the catholics, fighting against Ishida (Ishido) aka Tokugawa's revival and the Battle of Sekigahara. There is also various famous samurai Ronin during this time: Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro

[@sombrashadow0013]

I am super excited for this, especially with it coming out next year. And with AC Shadows being delayed to February, I unfortunately feel like it will get overshadowed by this

[@theinspiredgamer1949]

I think that if you subscribe to the theory that the guiding wind in the first game was the spirit of Jin’s father, then it’s possible Atsu (the new protagonist) could be a descendant of Jin. Either way, I’m massively hyped for this game.

[@TerraZetzz]

There is part of me that was hoping a sequel would continue Jin's story, and see him travel from Tsushima to mainland Japan to continue his fight against the Mongols, but I also really like the idea of this new character taking up the mantle and legacy of the Ghost. In addition I think skipping ahead to 1603, around the start of the Edo peridod/Tokugawa shogunate is a really fun idea. Hopefully we get to see, or at least hear about, some fictionalized historical characters, like Tokugawa (the real life counterpart to Toranaga from Shogun) himself.

I don't really like the idea of a new character so early on i mean we only got the start of his story the only thing they really wrapped up was that he finally accepted that he is the ghost (if you choose to spare your uncle) if you choose to kill your uncle it's really up to debate whether he was done being the ghost or if he was gonna leave tsushima, if you killed he's uncle all you see is him in pain screaming and crying so it's really not a wrapped up story if anything it really just leaves you with more questions cause jin is supposed to be a young character around he's 30's i would have loved to see a sequel where we follow him 20 years later where he has settled has a family, a wife who knows that he is the ghost and maybe she dies of ninjas or roñins sent from the shogun or the next shogun who have located him after all this time because then jin has a motive and we can for example have him drop he's children off with a older yuna or something while he seeks he's revenge and from there we get a short backround story of everything he's be through when he speaks with Yuna i mean shit i just made that story up in my head and felt it could work as a start😂😂😂😂

[@all1nerd377]

Im hoping they haven't COMPLETELY abandoned Jin Sakai. His story most certainly just beginning. Fingers crossed they bring him back with a connection to the new main character.

[@ibuprofriends]

lmao …. maybe research the game a bit more

[@darkguardian50]

I dunno about just beginning. He was declared a traitor by the Shogun. I doubt there was much more to Jin's story after that. You can't run forever. Eventually someone would catch him and bring his head to the shogun. This is why sparing the uncle was an exercise in futility. His uncle was already dead and would undoubtedly face a more brutal death at the hands of the shogun than if Jin had give him a quick and relatively painless death. I always doubted that there was enough to sustain another game let alone many games. Making it a anthology is so much smarter and allows them the freedom to maintain the same feel and aesthetic and still keep the game fresh.

The only situation in which relatability would be an issue whe experiencing a story in the context of relating to a woman as a man would be if the story was exclusiely about "being a woman", which I really doubt will be the case for this. Just like Metroid, Tomb Raider, The Last of Us 2, Horizon, Nier: Automata, etc., were never about gender.
