Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game)	comment	Ghost of Tsushima is a Wide-Open Sandbox Action-Adventure game developed by Sucker Punch for the PlayStation 4. It was released on July 17, 2020.It is 1274, the height of the Kamakura period. By the law of the Japanese Shogunate, the island of Tsushima — located between mainland Japan and the Korean peninsula — is ruled by Samurai lords, who act as both soldiers and nobility in accordance with their Code of Honor. Their word is law, and they have brought rigid order to the once-lawless island.But this is about to change. Kublai Khan, ruler of the Mongol Empire, has sent his cousin, Khotun Khan, to conquer the Japanese archipelago, beginning with Tsushima. He is a ruthless tactician, and in his first battle he goads the Samurai into a reckless charge, slaughtering them and capturing the JitÅ� of Tsushima, Lord Shimura.Only one Samurai survived the battle — Jin Sakai, nephew of Lord Shimura. Nursed back to health by a commoner who found him while scavenging corpses, he sets out to rescue his uncle and drive the Mongols from his home. But with so few allies remaining, and the Mongols seemingly unstoppable, Jin may have to sacrifice everything for this fight... including his honor.A teaser for the game can be seen here. A free multiplayer update, one based more on the myths and legends of Tsushima as told in the game's Mythic Tales, launched on October 16, 2020. Legends trailer.On July 1st, 2021, a Director's Cut was announced. The Director's Cut includes new enemies and equipment, as well as a new story featuring Jin's journey across Iki Island, which is also under Mongol occupation during the invasion. The Director's Cut released on August 20th, 2021.The Director's Cut has been announced to release for Microsoft Windows on May 16th, 2024.A movie adaptation, to be directed by John Wick director Chad Stahelski and produced by PlayStation Productionsnote The new division of Sony Interactive Entertainment set up up to adapt their games and IP to film and television, is currently in the works.

One of the Samurai skills Jin can learn allows him to deflect any arrow with his sword, at any range, at any rate of fire, from any Stance, as long as it's not coming directly from behind. The only exception is Fire Arrows, which he can only block from a distance but will still set him on fire at mid- and close-range.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_1235f055	comment	Dirty Coward: In the sidequest "Hidden in Snow", Jin arrives at the village of Sago, which seems oddly peaceful. A quick investigation, however, reveals that there are no women anywhere in the town - and a room full of dead men. When Jin tracks the women of the village down, they inform him that the headman of the village willingly handed his village's women to the Mongols to ensure his own safety, and any of the men that tried to save them were slaughtered. Understandably furious, Jin returns to Sago and calls the headman out. Showing at least a little spine, the headman allows Jin to kill him as repayment for his crimes.

In the main story, Taka, Ryuzo, Khotun Khan and Lord Shimura bite the bullet, although the last one is optional. Even Jin's horse isn't immune as it dies before the beginning of the final act. That's also not counting off the side quests.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_14ed6ab7	type	Does This Remind You of Anything?
Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: The records sent by the Eagle to Iki Island are almost reminiscent of cult recruitment propaganda, with how she sends "warm greetings" to the people of Iki, promising them sanctuary and fortune if they were to join her, and threatening to make them suffer if they refuse. Likewise, the people in the cult for the Eagle Tribe at the Cloud Forest Temple exhibit behaviours that are reminiscent of cult followers in the modern day. Iki Island has a lot in common with the kind of places that have been invaded for sheltering terrorists. The samurai came in, dealt a lot of collateral damage in their attempt to root out the raiders, and left a horrifying imprint on the locals. It also radicalized many of the locals into thinking the raiders were heroes.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_1527d90d	type	Early Game Hell
Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_1527d90d	comment	Early Game Hell: Early on, Jin lacks any of the tools or stances that makes exploration and combat easier. In particular, fighting against shieldmen, spearmen and brutes (especially if they gang up on you) can be outright aggravating, since the stone stance is ineffective against them and spear and dual-wielding attacks are unblockable until you learn a special skill. He will also lack other helpful abilities such as Chain Assassination, gear that grants extra Resolve/Health, and locations like Bamboo Strikes and Hot Springs which permanently upgrade his stats. And if the player explores in the wrong direction at first, it can take a while to find the bowyer, armorer and swordsmith, leaving all equipment stuck at the lowest possible level. By the time the player leaves Izuhara (assuming they've been allocating Technique Points and taking opportunities to explore), Jin will be a much stronger combatant.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_15756c9d	comment	Where It All Began: Invoked. The Eagle intentionally makes a Last Stand at the same location where Jin's father Kazumasa died, having been made aware of this through Jin divulging the information in the midst of one of his Hallucinations. Being in the same location also causes the Mind Screw Jin's been suffering from all expansion to become increasingly severe, as the brew causes him to confront his worst fears and regrets, meaning that Jin will either become broken from the effects of the Eagle's poison or too distracted to properly fight her, giving her a Home Field Advantage over the younger and more skilled fighter. Too bad for the Eagle is that Jin eventually overcomes her poison and comes to let go of his past allowing him to defeat and kill her.

Jin's managed to form an alliance between all his allies and Lord Shimura, they're about to retake Castle Shimura, the Shogun has sent samurai reinforcements, Jin's being hailed as a hero by the populace, and Lord Shimura has formally adopted Jin as his son and heir. By the start of Act 3, Jin has lost all these things and his horse.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_17521f7f	type	Clothes Make the Superman
Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_17521f7f	comment	Clothes Make the Superman: Your various outfits radically change your abilities and potential gameplay style. Proper samurai armor makes you a tank that regenerates Resolve when you take damage, massively boosts your health and decreases damage taken. The ronin armor is little more than a kimono and straw hat, but it turns you into a stealthy glass cannon, greatly magnifying your melee damage and helping you hide more efficiently. When not in combat, the Traveler's Attire helps you find collectibles and reveals more of the map (and has a really cool cape.) Other armors can be found as you progress, some of which have mythic qualities, like a legendary archer's armor that is so flexible you can fire arrows with great ease, or your own clan armor which lets you do a Standoff streak of 5 instead of 3, effectively destroying entire Mongol patrols in seconds. Jin's titular Ghost Armour featured on the cover epitomizes this, allowing him to utilize his unique 'Ghost Stance' mechanic with greater ease to devastate hard-to-kill enemies in a single move and motivate the spectators to flee for their lives for an easy win, assuming he sticks to making pragmatic and sneaky kills. The Definitive Edition takes the whole thing further by allowing customizable load outs for each armour, allowing Charms that enhance said armour's benefits to be assigned for easy usage of each play style without needing to also reassign charms with armour switches.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_1c2b6ac8	type	Soft Water
Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_1c2b6ac8	comment	Soft Water: The prologue of the game has Jin thrown off of the Kaneda Castle bridge, over a hundred meters above sea level, to splash into the rocky surf below. He's still knocked out and wakes up the next morning on a nearby beach, but he's otherwise healthy enough to run, battle, and ride a horse, and even has his katana with him. This is actually incorporated into the story: by all rights Jin should have died then and there (not to mention Komoda Beach), and Yuna is incredulous that he survived such a fall when they pass the same area during his second infiltration of the keep, lending more justification towards the myth around Jin's actions as a vengeful spirit terrorizing the Mongols from beyond the grave. Likewise, taking a flying leap off of any height, be it cliff, waterfall, or castle, is perfectly safe as long as the water below is at least deep enough for Jin to swim in, which is well under two meters (the jump into the glowing water in Iki Island's Black Hand Riku tale is an especially flagrant example). If you miscalculate and fall just short of that depth, it's instantly fatal because you're hitting the ground rather than the surface of the water.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_1c9537cd	type	The Main Characters Do Everything
Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_1c9537cd	comment	The Main Characters Do Everything: This is justified in Act 1, because with the Mongols running rampant all over the island and with Lord Shimura imprisoned by Khotun Khan, there is no fighting force available to mount any effective resistance against the Mongol invaders, and Jin, as the sole samurai noble still alive, is naturally in the highest position of authority around. Therefore, it's up to him to track down his various allies and gain their aid via resolving their issues to turn them into a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits necessary to assault Castle Kaneda and free Lord Shimura, meaning that he has to learn his Ghost tactics in the first place because he needs to do everything from scratch to mount a rescue. However, this is gradually deconstructed in Act 2, as besides from one quest line focusing on getting reinforcements from the mainland, Shimura mainly consolidates their position and the forces from the mainland to plan an assault on Castle Shimura, leaving it up to Jin and his allies to face the Mongols on the frontlines and resolve all the issues necessary to enact his plan. This means that Jin is the one performing the Dirty Business needed to adequately combat the Mongols, keeping Shimura and his Japanese allies'note who arrive too late to do anything but join in the assault of Castle Shimurahands' clean while they criticize him for taking the same "dishonourable" actions needed to even make their plan feasible in the first place. Accordingly, Jin's allies are more understanding and accepting of his actions as the Ghost because they've fought alongside him and have seen the necessity for them first-hand, whereas Shimura and those who share his views refuse to admit that honourable combat with the Mongols won't work, since they never had to fight them like Jin has before that engagement. This eventually leads to a rift forming between those who accept that Jin's actions as the Ghost are necessary, and those who can only see him as a traitor to the samurai ways. Because the peasantry are the ones being saved by Jin first-hand and motivated by him to rise up and fight the Mongols themselves, they're more loyal to Jin, rather than to the samurai who arrived too late and did nothing directly to help them, which further sours Jin's image as a dangerous rogue element in their eyes. Additionally, because Jin is setting up everything himself for the large scale assaults on the fortified castles the Mongols occupy, it takes him a lot of time to get everything ready, leaving Khotun Khan with plenty of opportunity to head north to the main island port where his fleet is docked, as he has no plans to conquer Tsushima entirely immediately, and is mainly using it as a staging ground to assault the Japanese mainland. Act 3 somewhat averts this, as Yuna and Kenji both pitch in to aid Jin in his plan of setting the Khan's fleet aflame when they're forced inland by a storm, covering tasks that Jin would otherwise have had to do himself, and they ultimately require the aid of Shimura's forces to attack the Mongols without dying in the process, but even then, Jin's allies are the ones who did most of the heavy lifting, with Shimura's aid being more about ensuring that Jin's allies survived the attack by the time they joined in. In essence, having to do everything makes Jin far more effective and pragmatic a fighter, but in turns showcases the flaws in the way the samurai rigidly adhere to honour at all costs, eventually resulting in him being branded a traitor when his ways are ultimately able to defeat the Khan and the Mongol army, leading to concerns that Jin would do the same to the samurai themselves. Jin even points this out in an impassioned argument with Lord Shimura following him ordering his troops into a very obvious trap and intending to repeat the same actions again because it's 'honourable'.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_1cc2ea8d	comment	Villain Ball: Khotun Khan spends an inordinate amount of time attempting to "break" Shimura, Jin and the Japanese people in general to force their surrender and compliance. The in-universe justification is to make it easier for his armies to invade the mainland. However, in Real Life, the Mongols didn't care one whit about the compliance of their foes.note Infamously, the Mongols gave their conquests one shot to surrender before any fighting began, but once it passed, it was too late. The Mongols massacred any resistance in their path as a warning to others, and Tsushima was no exception — the Real Life invasion was already in Kyushu by the time they were forced to retreat. All of this results in Khotun being killed in Tsushima before he can even reach the mainland, which is a far cry from his historical counterparts.

The worst that'll happen if he takes damage is he'll buck you off and run until the battle is over. This is not true of Mongol horses or farm horses you may purloin from their owners, as they can and will die and usually have much fewer HP than even the lowest-level bandit.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_259d5879	comment	In addition, samurai throughout history were not as restricted by codes of honor when it came to fighting as the game demonstrates note As noted under Anachronism Stew, the tenets of what would become Bushido would not be codified until the 18th century, during which the Samurai were transitioning from a warrior caste to bureaucrats and administrators and hadn't been involved in any major conflict for decades., and were not above using unconventional tactics of their own. Of particular note is that during the second Mongol invasion of Japan, samurai would conduct night time raids on the Mongol fleet by sneaking onto Mongol ships and killing as many Mongol sailors and soldiers in the sleep as they could before retreating back to shore.

The game itself points out that the Legend of the Ghost hasn't spread to the remote Iki island residents, thus Jin has to build the legend of the Ghost anew with them, and due to being separated from his horse by the storm that wreaks his vessel, Jin initially can't summon his steed until he completes one of the starting missions, but other than that he still has all his Ghost tricks and tools available from the start, due to the story implicitly being set in the aftermath of his duel with Lord Shimura. In fact, shortly after arriving on the Island, Jin can actually start unlocking new Ghost tactics and tools to add to his existing arsenal.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_294ed981	comment	Bilingual Bonus: No matter the language settings, the Mongol soldiers speak in Mongolian, with subtitles only appearing if they use "Japanese" words. That said, the Mongolian spoken is correct: a fluent player can understand them just fine. If you read Japanese, you will see the kanji å¿� (Perseverance) in the Sakai home. While that seems fitting for a samurai, its also half of the kanji å¿�è€…, Ninja, which is the path Jin is heading down. A scroll hanging in another room of the Sakai home reads ä¸€æœŸä¸€ä¼š, ichigo ichie (lit. "one time, one encounter"). This is a well-known Japanese phrase that more accurately translates as "Once-in-a-lifetime", and represents the philosophy of appreciating the moments in life that will never repeat again; since effectively no moment in life can be repeated, this outlook extends to treasuring every moment in one's life for its uniqueness.

The Mongols don't just ignore the principles of samurai warfare, they actively exploit the Samurais' rigid adherence to play them for fools. Jin is quickly convinced that the only way he'll get anywhere is to start breaking the rules himself.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae	type	Awesome, but Impractical
Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: Two of the stances stand out. Wind Stance. Designed to finally counter polearm users, it's good for that, but impractical anyway. While the charge up attack for Stone Stance and Water Stance will absolutely wreck normal enemies and shield users respectively, Wind Stance's charged attack lacks range, which is the biggest advantage polearm uses have. Moon Stance. Ostensibly designed to counter Brutes, the strong attacks will not stagger the big guys if they're already attacking, and the relatively slow wind-up for Moon Stance strikes means that you're going to be eating a lot of hits. The charge up attack is even more disappointing, being a relatively weak area attack that has surprisingly short range and lacks the ability to stagger an attacking enemy.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_2c7416bb	comment	Acting Unnatural: Shortly after being forced to drink the Eagle's poison, Jin is apparently rescued by Yuna again, who claims she followed him to the island out of concern. However, as they're making their way through the mysteriously-deserted camp, Yuna asks Jin several questions about things she should already know, such as the fact that Jin's claims to the Eagle that he was a scout for reinforcements was a lie, or acting surprised when Jin casually mentions that his father built the fort. Sure enough, it turns out to be the Eagle herself Jin is talking to, due to the poison making him hallucinate Yuna, before the vision becomes increasingly severe and surreal once Jin realizes the truth and rejects the Eagle's offers to aid him through the psychological effects of her brew.

The island of Tsushima is a gorgeous setting with bright blue skies, yellow forests, majestic castles, lovable animals and plenty of grace and beauty. It's also the site of murder, betrayal, suicide, gore, poverty, child abuse, hangings and decaptitations. Most of this is due to the Mongol invasion, but there's a fair few cases that are local and present before they even arrived.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_30bf3ff4	type	Beef Gate
Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_30bf3ff4	comment	Beef Gate: The various regions of Tsushima have differing levels of Mongols, denoted by their colour and how armored up they are. This is particularly relevant in the first island: while Jin technically does have free reign of the entire island, the South has armored Mongols in Red, and Jin doesn't have the health or unlocked techniques to take them on from the start of the game. This is also true of the Iki Island DLC: while you can unlock it as early as Act 2, it's really designed for endgame content as it does have enemies from the snowy north area who are the toughest opponents in the game. If you visit a mission area before the game says you can, the message: " WARNING! Entering an Area of Overwhelming Enemy Forces " will appear on the screen. They are not kidding: you will be annihilated by an unlimited barrage of sniper archery while being swarmed by foes, whichever kills you first. Luckily these forces disappear once you're doing the mission that takes you there. The story-driven boss fights, or one-on-one Samurai duels between Jin and the opponents he faces in the process of the main quest are also this. As duels restrict Jin to only using his samurai sword skills, if the player hasn't explored Tsushima sufficiently to level up Jin's fighting skills and unlock more armours he can wear in battle, the fights are nigh-impossible to win, but are quite manageable if Jin has sufficiently strong armour with additional benefits depending on the type equipped, as well as expanded the fighting stances he can use to best counter the foe's tactics, such as the water stance to beat down Mongol commanders who duel him using shields.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_31708bd3	type	Terror Hero
Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_31708bd3	comment	During the main mission "Ghosts from the Past", Lord Shimura requests that Jin reclaim his father's armour from the family estate in preparation for the eventual attack on Castle Shimura, reasoning that Jin has proven himself worthy of wearing it. It's heavily implied that Shimura's main reason for doing so is to remind Jin of the honourable Samurai ways his father fought under and help dissuade him from the ways of the Ghost, especially now that Shimura's taking steps to establish the samurai presence on Tsushima. However, in the process of venturing to the estate, Jin encounters his old caretaker Yuriko, who ends up giving Jin the idea to use wolfsbane poison against the Mongols to give himself an edge and enhance his Terror Hero tactics. This symbolically foreshadows the Act 2 climax, wherein Shimura's attempts to adhere to honourable combat against the Mongols only serves to further drive Jin towards embracing the moniker of the Ghost, especially when Shimura's own refusal to fight any other way leads to pointless deaths, showing how his efforts to ensure his nephew remains on the noble path of the samurai backfire and only further convince Jin of the necessity of the Ghost. Indeed, the Sakai armour that Shimura wanted Jin to wear from the same mission is noted to serve as Taka's inspiration for Jin's Ghost Armour.

To drive the point home, you can even launch yourself at an enemy dozens of feet below you and, if you activate the Assassinate prompt just before you hit the ground, Jin will stab them from above without getting the slightest damage from the drop itself.

Throwing it down causes all ghosts in the radius to enter full stealth meaning it not only helps your team in the immediate as much as much as you but it opens you up for up to three free sneak attack/critical hits, which helps you clear numbers and gives you good resolve, but also allows you to revive allies or use other skills without interruption in the time instead. Its long cooldown time is very well earned.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_3b113b7	comment	Fairly well-done to subtly encourage Jin's Character Development. At the start of the game, Jin is weak and injured, facing several kinds of enemies he's not equipped to properly handle, encouraging the kinds of sneaky, skullduggery tactics his uncle taught him were dishonorable. By the midgame, Jin has had an opportunity to learn all the stances and a few techniques to make them easier to fight, as well as gotten a few equipment and resource upgrades in him. This allows the player to instead fight in a more upfront and "honorable" fashion, at around the same time Jin rescues Lord Shimura and is asked to put the Ghost behind him. Then, in the final parts of the game, after Jin fully embraces his identity as the Ghost and abandons honor codes, the Ghost Stance mechanic encourages sneaky, "cheap" kills by offering a powerful benefit that vanishes if damage is taken. Of course, if you're a skilled player on Easy difficulty you can still use the Samurai approach throughout, undermining the trope.

It's never stated if it actually is a mythological weapon or if that's simply the story that sprung up around it. When you're searching for it, an archer will shoot at Jin at each temple and tell him it's not worth the trouble. After touching the bow, Jin seemingly gets transported to another location with the ground soaked in blood and crows circling in the sky for a trippy mini-boss fight against him... but there's also some incense sitting on the mantle where the bow was, so there's the possibility that Jin is just hallucinating the new location (according to Word of God, that is indeed the case).

He does, however, accept Jin's later challenge and fights him fair and square on the bridge of Castle Kaneda, though that is in part because he can clearly tell that Jin is way underprepared to actually fight him, especially since he's still reeling from the wounds he suffered at Komoda Beach. During their final fight, they repeat this same exchange, enacting another duel on fair terms, but only because Khotun genuinely believes he can handle Jin one-on-one, and is surprised when Jin showcases how much he's improved since their last fight. But given Khotun's views when he's on the verge of losing the fair fight, he cheats by tossing a bottle of wolfsbane poison in his face and summoning his remaining mooks to turn the tables on Jin.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_3ed23024	type	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: After the battle at the beginning of the game that wipes out most of the Samurai, many citizens believe they were all killed. Because of this, most citizens think Jin is actually an imposter Samurai when he first introduces himself. If a Mook sees Jin mowing down multiple Mongols in seconds, such as in a Standoff or a Chain Assassination, they'll do what any sane man would do: drop their weapons and flee for their lives. This happens with practically any extreme feat, such as being able to perfectly parry someone before killing them in one strike. The Ghost Armor increases the likelihood this can happen because it is designed to terrify to enemy. Jin's first stealth takedown is noticeably crude, with the sentry even managing to let out a small scream before Jin remembers to cover his mouth. There's also an interesting correlation between the quality of his tanto and the efficiency of his stealth kills.. Before it gets upgraded, perhaps the tanto is dull from not being used and maintained as much as his katana which he would primarily use as a samurai, leading to kills requiring more effort. Once it's upgraded, Jin uses it more efficiently, usually dispatching enemies with just one well-placed stab or slice of the throat. Holding a bow drawn actually takes quite a lot of effort. Jin can only hold a full draw for a few seconds before his aim starts to wobble and the bowstring slips through his fingers. Throughout the game there are Mongol camps that are packed to the brim with helpful resources, which Jin can then burn to the ground to release their hold on the area. Of course, if you decide to burn the camp first, all the resources are burnt in the fire and are lost forever. Oops. Ryuzo is having a hard time keeping the Straw Hats together as the group is too big to avoid Mongols and feed themselves. Not to mention, their previous leader died very recently and Ryuzo has been thrust into the position. It doesn't help that most of them are mercenary swordsmen and are not used to hunting or gathering food that doesn't belong to someone else. Lord Shimura's dedication to fighting honorably predictably blows up in his face at the start of the game, but it really hits him in the second act. He decides to attack a fortified position head on, and even after suffering severe casualties, he is insistent on finishing the job. Predictably, Jin and Yuna are horrified at the death toll and urge time to rest the soldiers, Shimura likely banking on the Undying Loyalty of his men to follow him anyway. During "The Undying Flame," Jin is climbing a mountain in the middle of a harsh winter and needs to stop by fires to warm himself up or he'll take damage, eventually leading to death. At the end of the second act, Jin's first horse ends up getting shot by several arrows carrying its master out of captivity. The horse could've potentially recuperated, albeit out of the action for awhile, but with no one to help take care of its wounds along with the horse pushing itself to the point of exhaustion causes it to die. In a nation like Japan where honor is so significant, especially for the Samurai who are essentially defined by it, Jin's gradual abandonment of his honor repeatedly earns him harsh criticism for abandoning the very code he was raised to uphold as he spreads this pragmatism to the peasantry for seizing back their lands. This becomes so much of a problem that even after saving Tsushima, the Shogunate calls for Jin's death because his pragmatic, shinobi-style ways could undermine the Samurai and ruling caste now that there's an entire region of people following Jin's example, while using the Samurai code of honor as a socially-justified excuse to execute him.

Initially, they only provide small bonuses to attack, damage, and resolve gains. However, going through the game and finding every fox shrine will boost their abilities to the same level as Gold charms, with "massive" or "major" bonuses across the board. Combined with a samurai armor set that boosts damage, individual sword strikes can almost one-shot lower tier enemies and do huge damage even to higher level ones.

On the other hand, the Shogunate declares him a traitor for throwing away his samurai honor with his "dirty" tactics (even though they were a necessity given the Khan's terrifying knowledge of samurai codes of war). Even worse, by openly defying the island's jitÅ�, the Ghost has taught the peasantry to follow a charismatic figure instead of their proper political leaders. Lord Shimura then fails to take Jin's life in a duel as commanded by the shogun. Whether Jin spares his life, or gives him an honorable death, he knows he will have to spend the rest of his life on the run, and the only difference is whether his uncle will have to live with that worry and shame as well. And if you know your Japanese history, you know this won't be the only time the Mongols try to invade Japan.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_47ae290f	comment	Let's Fight Like Gentlemen: Khotun Khan, the man in charge of the invasion of Tsushima, studied the ways of the samurai extensively to the point of learning of its many weaknesses, owing to the Curb-Stomp Battle that occurs at the start of the game. He does, however, accept Jin's later challenge and fights him fair and square on the bridge of Castle Kaneda, though that is in part because he can clearly tell that Jin is way underprepared to actually fight him, especially since he's still reeling from the wounds he suffered at Komoda Beach. During their final fight, they repeat this same exchange, enacting another duel on fair terms, but only because Khotun genuinely believes he can handle Jin one-on-one, and is surprised when Jin showcases how much he's improved since their last fight. But given Khotun's views when he's on the verge of losing the fair fight, he cheats by tossing a bottle of wolfsbane poison in his face and summoning his remaining mooks to turn the tables on Jin. The stand-off mechanic is Jin challenging a Mongol among the group in a duel. Killing one enemy with one blow but giving up the element of surprise. The mechanic can be upgraded so that more enemies will try to come after Jin after a successful Standoff kill. Duels enforce this with the player being unable to simply pull out their bow for an easy headshot or use ghost weapons.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_49fb5ccb	comment	Combat Pragmatist: The "Ghost" gameplay style, natch. Some characters such as Yuna employ this since the Mongols have great knowledge of the samurai code. Jin himself becomes this when he realizes traditional samurai combat won't be enough to push the Mongols out of their homeland. This is how the Mongols are largely able to deliver the Samurai such a vicious Curb-Stomp Battle; they do not play by the rules, meanwhile when the Samurai insist on following the honorable course of action the Mongols exploit it for all its worth. This can be seen immediately in the game's opening - when Lord Adachi tries to invoke Combat by Champion against the Mongol horde, the Khan simply douses the man in alcohol, sets him ablaze, and decapitates him while he panics. Mongol Mooks totally avert Mook Chivalry and will happily gang up on Jin, they will rush off to execute captives if tipped off to Jin's presence, and won't hesitate to use not just bows, but throwing knives, bombs, and hwacha rockets in open combat. Ishikawa, being a samurai that favors the bow, is not going to signal his presence and will make his arrows deliver the most damage possible, on top of being fine with manipulation and deceit. While he doesn't like Jin's methods he won't hold it against him like Shimura.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_56515a39	type	Artistic License â€“ History
Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_56515a39	comment	Artistic License â€“ History: Iki Island is portrayed as a lawless place full of pirates and raiders, where an attempt to bring the island under samurai control was unsuccessful. In real life, Iki was historically under the rule of the Matsura clan, who helped develop trade and commercial relations between the island and Goryeo, Tsushima, and Kyushu. In fact, the island also had a samurai governor in the form of Taira no Kagetaka, who deployed over 100 samurai to defend the island during the first Mongol invasion, though their defense was ultimately unsuccessful against the Yuan forces. While the island was known for being a base for Japanese Wokou pirates, they were mostly active during the Muromachi period, which lasted from the 14th to the 16th century, long after the Mongol invasions happened. During the Memory of Kinship, Lord Adachi jokingly tells Jin that he owes him 'twenty mon'. Mon was the official currency of Japan, but it was only implemented from 1336 to 1870.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_56d5b88f	comment	Divided We Fall: In the gameplay trailer, Jin's companion Masako attempts to kill the monk he's trying to save due to a familial grudge against the man. He tells him to run and says that the Mongols win if they fight each other. She replies that the Mongols have already won, and after a tense stand-off, they begin a duel. In-game, this occurs in the second-to-last mission of her sidequest arc. Happens repeatedly throughout the story, as the Mongols exploit the existing divisions and grudges between the island's inhabitants to turn them against each other. Jin surrenders himself to his uncle at the end of act 2 to avoid a schism between the samurai reinforcements and the people of Tsushima that follow the Ghost.

If Jin selects the option to say it was witnessing his father's death that haunted him the most, Tenzo seems genuinely taken aback, and gives a sincere, if subdued "I'm sorry" in response. He's just realized how traumatizing it was for young Jin to watch him kill his father right in front of him.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_589e54d3	comment	Charged Attack: By holding Triangle for an instant, Jin can go into each Stance's particular special attack: Stone Stance - Puncture: Jin lines up his sword horizontally, then stabs forward for up to three times (when upgraded). It deals massive damage and can stop any enemy type as long as they are open. Water Stance - Flowing Strikes: Jin charges his sword down by his left, then slices up diagonally to deflect an enemy shield, which he follows up with up to five slashes (when upgraded) to the now-open foe. Wind Stance - Typhoon Kick: Jin winds up, then delivers a huge thrust kick that sends the enemy flying. This can insta-kill enemies if done from an elevation, or Stagger and Knock Down (which leaves them open to Assassination) when upgraded. Brutes and Shielded Brutes are too heavy to be affected and only take minor Stagger damage, if any. Moon Stance - Spinning Strike: Jin crouches and winds up, then delivers a Spin Attack at head-height. Upgraded forms deliver one or two more followup attacks. Brutes cannot defend from it, but if Jin tries to use it when an enemy is already in their attack animation, they will have higher priority.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_5b81ca8d	comment	Disc-One Nuke: One of the skills Jin can learn early on is the ability to parry arrows. It makes several areas in the game less challenging, as this game thoroughly averts Annoying Arrows. Standoff Streak allows Jin to add multiple targets to a standoff and kill them all in one hit. It can be fully upgraded as early as a few story missions into the game, allowing Jin to sometimes clear an entire random encounter if there are 3 or less opponents and significantly reduce larger groups' numbers regardless. Furthermore, since there are ways to control which enemies participate in the standoff, Jin can call out more troublesome enemies like archers, brutes and even Mongol warlords and kill them instantly. The longbow is one of the best weapons in the game, capable of killing most enemies with a single headshot, and it can be found as soon as Jin reaches the Golden Temple for the first time. It comes with Explosive Arrows to deal heavy damage to groups. Its sole weakness is its incredibly low ammo capacity, which does little to detract from how useful it is to snipe troublesome enemies from a great distance. The Charm of Inari can be acquired very early on - basically as soon as the player has access to the full open world, provided that they know where the shrine that awards it is. Its bonus - doubling acquisition of supplies, most bow enhancement materials, and predator skins - allows Jin to gear up much faster than normal, especially with capacity upgrades (with the Charm, one bear can provide on average enough skins to get a level 1 capacity upgrade, and two for a level 2 upgrade), allowing him to pretty much outgear the early game. The Charm of Okuninushi can be found very early on in the game and has the effect of giving Jin Regenerating HP when he's not in combat. This can be extremely useful as the only way to restore health is to either use Resolve or Bathe in hot springs. This charm makes it much easier to conserve Resolve, especially in the early game when you only have a small amount to work with.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_5ca80293	comment	Pragmatic Villainy: The Mongols are stunningly brutal against those who oppose them, but they're also willing to avoid unnecessary fighting by persuading local collaborators to join their cause instead. A good example is how they deal with Ryuzo's men where they received good food after being taken prisoner. Considering they had no food prior to this it helps convince Ryuzo to turn against Jin later in order to feed his men. Emphasizing the villainy part of this, Khotun makes it clear that any who surrender will either be used as Cannon Fodder for the inevitable mainland invasion or as producers of food and other supplies they need. Numerous citizens who surrendered to the Mongols are only marginally better off than those who resist. A letter notes that the Mongols treat the skilled slaves with a genuine respect for their craft, but if they have no skills they see them as lower than their dogs. People who can't work at all (the sick, injured or elderly) get executed without a second thought.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_5ce7dbb9	type	Central Theme
Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_5ce7dbb9	comment	Central Theme: As per a samurai game, honor is explored in many forms. Yuna only cares about two things: Protecting her brother, and getting both of them off the island. She will kill and steal from the shadows if it means her brother is safe, and she doesn't care if people call her dishonorable for it. She is, however, one of the most noble people in the game, being the person who saved Jin's life (twice!), even when she had no reason to do so, and she keeps her promises despite her desperate circumstances. Ryuzo is the opposite to Yuna: also a commoner looking out for his friends, but instead he chose to side with the Mongols to feed his Straw Hats, and uses his friendship with Jin against the samurai's efforts. Ryuzo resents Jin beating him at a tournament he'd arranged for the nobility to observe, and he accuses Jin of not going easy on him solely because he couldn't consider letting "Lord Sakai" lose to a commoner. For Ryuzo, that tournament was his only chance to prove himself to one of the lords of Tsushima and become a samurai, leaving him to become a hardened mercenary in the Straw Hat ronin. Shimura is presented as this paragon of honor early in the game. We later learn he sees the peasants more as resources than people, and that the honor he and the Shogunate cling to is all about keeping them in their place. Lady Masako's entire plot turns out to stem from her older sister's jealousy of Masako marrying up to a samurai lord from a powerful clan while she herself was married off to a lower class retainer. As, in other circumstances, tradition would have swapped their places around, the older sister became bitter over Masako "robbing her" of her chance to move up in the world. Furthermore the aforementioned marriage that Masako arranged for her, to the retainer of another clan, left her saddled with a publicly-kind husband who in private was abusive and a drunkard. Jin ultimately uses the tricks he learned as The Ghost to empower and arm the peasant class to repel the invaders. The Shogunate, seeing that peasants who can defend themselves would make them obsolete and threaten their position of privilege, brands Jin a criminal, ordering Shimura to kill him. Sensei Ishikawa is a perfectionist, willing to look beyond gender and class for the perfect pupil, which he found in Tomoe. Unfortunately his strict discipline and abrasive perfectionism turned the girl into a killer who sided with the Mongols. Norio is a kind but tough Warrior Monk whose uses Buddhism as his core principles to fighting the Mongols out of duty, not hate. However, when he finds his brother alive, but tortured and maimed by the Mongols to the point he begs for a Mercy Kill, Norio is consumed by rage and abandons his teachings for vengeance. Thankfully, Jin guides him back on his original path. Kenji is the kind of sniveling coward you wouldn't trust as far as you could throw him, and he's always getting into trouble with the worst sorts of people with all his "deals." That said, he is never absent in any of the major battles, and he always pulls through when Jin and his people need him to.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_63168cb8	type	Samurai in Ninja Town
Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_63168cb8	comment	Samurai in Ninja Town: The Central Theme of Jin's conflict. After watching the honour-bound Samurai be cut down on the beaches of Tsushima, and then face a more personal failure trying to save his uncle in a direct rescue attempt, Jin is left humbled and forced to reconsider his approach to fighting the Mongols. He adopts "dishonourable" Ghost tactics and begins scoring small victories against the Mongols, but grapples with a sense of shame as they conflict with the teachings of his samurai upbringing, and the criticisms of some of his more traditionally-minded allies. In the second act, Jin manages to rescue Lord Shimura and the old man, who is horrified by the Ghost persona and especially Jin's use of poison, tries to encourage Jin back to a return to the samurai way of war - and Jin can listen to his uncle or continue with cloak and dagger as the player wishes. However the second act ends with Shimura leading the samurai to another terrible defeat due to his stubborn adherence to an honour code that his Mongol opponents are all too eager to exploit for all its worth, and realizing that Shimura's warrior pride matters more to him than saving the people of Tsushima, Jin rebels against his uncle and the Shogunate. At this point, the Godzilla Threshold has been reached and Jin is determined to drive the Mongols into the sea by all means fair or foul, and the stigma against Ghost tactics is removed. The game ends with a final duel between Jin (who has either tempered his samurai code with some pragmatism or cast it aside entirely) and Shimura. However Averted in the sense that no character at any point refers to Jin as a "ninja" or "shinobi", just "the Ghost". Jin's experimentation is called in-game "Evolving Tactics", hinting that Jin is in fact the first ninja. In the game's final act which sees him stripped of his title by the Shogunate, Jin forms his own clan from the villagers of Tsushima who follow his example, creating the first ninja clan.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_6320eced	comment	Gameplay and Story Segregation: You can be playing the game as honorable as a Samurai can be, but certain missions will have characters react as if you Ghost it and some missions forcing you to Ghost it. Jin spends all of Act 3 as a fugitive after poisoning the Mongols in the final Act 2 mission. Initially, you are forbidden to go back to the earlier areas (the map says "Cannot fast travel while Exiled") but completing a mission to link back up with your allies undoes that restriction and nobody seems to really care where you go, despite Jin still being technically on the run from the law. Possibly explained by the fact that most of the people who care about Jin being an outlaw are camped on the eastern pass into the northern region of the island, while the link-up mission grants Jin control of the western pass, which Jin notes that his uncle and his allies likely won't care about until spring, granting him an unwatched path south. Furthermore, while sneaking back into Castle Shimura, Jin can eavesdrop on a conversation in which Lord Shimura indicates that he won't be actively seeking Jin out until after the Mongols are dealt with. As early as Act 1, once you get the Charm of Toxic Demise, any bells you throw to distract an enemy will poison said enemy and instantly kill them. The symptoms of such deaths, however, are identical to the Poison Darts that you only learn to manufacture from wolfsbane during Yuriko's Main Story quest in Act 2, implying it's the same type of poison. Archers will call out to their companions to get down before firing an arrow. They will continue to do this even after Jin has slaughtered all of their companions, meaning the only person they're warning to clear the line of fire is the very person they're trying to shoot.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_65c4d0fa	comment	Changing Gameplay Priorities: Fairly well-done to subtly encourage Jin's Character Development. At the start of the game, Jin is weak and injured, facing several kinds of enemies he's not equipped to properly handle, encouraging the kinds of sneaky, skullduggery tactics his uncle taught him were dishonorable. By the midgame, Jin has had an opportunity to learn all the stances and a few techniques to make them easier to fight, as well as gotten a few equipment and resource upgrades in him. This allows the player to instead fight in a more upfront and "honorable" fashion, at around the same time Jin rescues Lord Shimura and is asked to put the Ghost behind him. Then, in the final parts of the game, after Jin fully embraces his identity as the Ghost and abandons honor codes, the Ghost Stance mechanic encourages sneaky, "cheap" kills by offering a powerful benefit that vanishes if damage is taken. Of course, if you're a skilled player on Easy difficulty you can still use the Samurai approach throughout, undermining the trope. The Standoff mechanic perhaps encapsulates this best. Early on, it's a great investment of skill points, and can all but fill precious Resolve points on its own while cleaving through enemies for easy kills. But mid-to-late game enemies are extremely difficult to defeat in Standoffs, feinting repeatedly and with positively tiny windows to strike, making it fall off more and more as the game goes on.

You can even equip armor or Charms that make you even more fearsome to your foes (read: increase the success rate of the Terrify status.)

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_69ab6c58	type	Justified Tutorial
Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_69ab6c58	comment	Justified Tutorial: A great deal of the early game is devoted to fleshing out Jin's various fighting styles and tactics to deal with the Mongols, reflecting how he's further deviating for the limitations of the Samurai's adherence to straightforward combat to defeat them, allowing battles that were challenging at the beginning to gradually get easier. During the opening charge, Jin in panicking from the chaotic situation and the stress of his first real wide-scale battle, and accordingly, the player has little instruction on how to fight beyond the basic sword strike the game tells them. While the player can technically fight using the stone style, Jin's suppressed anxiety makes him forget the intricacies of combat beyond the basics, and first-time players will be primarily reliant on Lord Shimura's aid to survive the fighting. Following his near-death, Jin is forced to learn how to move stealthily from Yuna's example to reclaim his sword, which teachers the player the basics of stealth and how to parkour around the island. Upon reclaiming his weapon, Jin takes a moment to calm himself and remember Shimura's teachings on the basics of combat to allow him to fight the Mongols with more control now that his armour and body are both badly damaged and he cannot take as many hits as he could. Assaulting Castle Kaneda allows Jin to implement his standoff technique in order to press the advantage against the poorly-prepared defenders, as well as how to handle more defensible enemies like long-range archers and shield-wielders. His subsequent defeat to Khotun Khan in the Hopeless Boss Fight demonstrates both how duels work and that Jin needs to unlock more options before he's ready for another fight like that. The subsequent missions from Ishikawa, Masako, and Yuna teach Jin how to use stealth to inflict assassinations, use the game's long-range archery, as well as the necessity of wearing better armour and improving it to utilize the benefits to Jin's fighting styles. All of this showcases Jin as somebody who is both competent, but inexperienced with the necessities of battling enemies like the Mongols alone, hence his need to develop advantages like the Ghost Weapons.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_6c019508	comment	Demanding Their Head: Played for Drama (twice) after Khotun Khan puts a bounty on Jin Sakai's head. Each time the person who tries to collect is someone close to Jin. The first time, Jin's friend Ryuzo, the leader of the band of Rōnin known as the Straw Hats, duels Jin for the bounty, out of desperation to defend his men, bitterness towards Jin for beating him in a duel years ago that would have made him a samurai if he'd won, and doubt that Lord Shimura would ever reward his men for their efforts in freeing him. Jin keeps his head, but his friendship with Ryuzo is broken. The second time, Jin finds Ryuzo waiting for him at Castle Shimura, having been left behind by the Khan to collect Jin's head. This time, though, Ryuzo is no longer interested in the bounty, and instead begs Jin to work with him against the Khan and lie to the people by telling them he was a Fake Defector sent to gain the Mongols' trust. Jin, disgusted by Ryuzo's cowardice, instead orders him to surrender and be judged for his crimes, and Ryuzo, knowing he'll be sentenced to death, decides to go down fighting. He loses, and never collects Jin's head.

In gameplay, the player can swipe right on the touchpad to do this after a fight, where a more traditional swipe can be used as well. In fact, this command isn't available until after the fight against the Khan, implying that Jin was saving a fresh blade the entire time for the monster who deserved it.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_6eb4e408	type	Artistic License â€“ Military
Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_6eb4e408	comment	Artistic License â€“ Military: The Mongols were famous for fighting primarily from horseback; horse archers would rain arrows down on army formations, then mounted lancers would be sent to mow down any survivors en masse. In fact, the combination of mobility and heavy damage was explicitly what made them so successful against contemporary armies. They could fight on foot if forced to (such as during a siege), but were reliant on recruiting/conscripting conquered peoples for any dedicated infantry. However, presumably for gameplay reasons, Mongol horsemen will all dismount to face Jin, and even during sieges and major battles, Mongol cavalry tend to be largely absent. Additionally, the invasion force's dedicated infantry are all portrayed as ethnic Mongols, even though in real life, they would have probably been primarily Han Chinese and Korean levies. Samurai were not primarily swordsmen during the Kamakura period; swords were little more than backup weapons to be wielded in tight quarters. Most samurai of the era were known as mounted archers, with the samurai art primarily known as kyuuba no michi: "the way of the horse and bow". While there were reports of individual swordsmen challenging (and winning) against Mongol warriors, they were exceptions and definitely not the rule. In addition, samurai throughout history were not as restricted by codes of honor when it came to fighting as the game demonstrates note As noted under Anachronism Stew, the tenets of what would become Bushido would not be codified until the 18th century, during which the Samurai were transitioning from a warrior caste to bureaucrats and administrators and hadn't been involved in any major conflict for decades., and were not above using unconventional tactics of their own. Of particular note is that during the second Mongol invasion of Japan, samurai would conduct night time raids on the Mongol fleet by sneaking onto Mongol ships and killing as many Mongol sailors and soldiers in the sleep as they could before retreating back to shore.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8	type	Guide Dang It!
Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8	comment	Guide Dang It!: The final three Raids absolutely, positively need a full party of 4 people to complete, and are full of never-seen-before mechanics that are, more importantly, never explained or given a tutorial for (which makes sense from a storytelling perspective, as you are fighting in Iyo's realm in Hell and have no context as to what is happening). Iyo's eyes (huge, red, transparent spheres) wander around various parts of the stage, and can grab, immobilize, and eventually kill you unless an ally or enemy attacks you, or you hold R1 and mash the Triangle button as the eye passes through you. Thankfully, these spheres only travel in straight, repeated paths. Every stage has puzzles that require teamwork, like standing on a button so that a set of platforms appear on a different part of the stage, and another teammate must navigate those platforms to step on another button to create another set of platforms, etc. Of course, you need to find which part of the stage those buttons and platforms are. And good luck finding all the optional Oni chests. Every puzzle has a time limit, as Iyo is searching for you. Take too long to complete the stage and you fail and have to restart the mission. The worst of these has to be Chapter II, where having at least one mic to coordinate what everyone is supposed to do is absolutely essential. Several sections require three players to each get three different colored Attunements, and jump on a set of invisible platforms that will only activate if a person with the correct Attunement stands on it. The problem is, anyone who holds an Attunement can't see the symbols that indicate which Attunement will activate it. So unless everyone has memorized the entire sequence perfectly, the fourth person who does not have an Attunement (and thus can see all the symbols) will need to verbally tell his teammates which Attunements are needed on which platforms, and guide them through the course. Another gauntlet in Chapter II has a large arena with a central circle and two smaller circles to up on two cliffs on opposite sides. Two players need to stand on the smaller circles to keep the central circle activated, while the other two players need to kill enemies within the central circle to fill a meter that will unlock the final gate. There is a problem: The players fighting in the central circle slowly gain Corruption, and if it someone gets up to 10 Corruption, the entire stage fails, and the only way to clear Corruption is to go up to the side circles on the side and purge. Essentially, two people will be in the central circle fighting to raise the meter, while the other two will be on the sides keeping the central circle activated, and fighting a bunch of Elite Mooks singlehandedly, then once the two central fighters reach 7 or 8 Corruption, they go up and swap places, the fresh players go down and fight while the first group stands on the smaller circles and purge.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_73733868	comment	Awesomeness by Analysis: Khotun Khan employed this before his invasion of Tsushima even started. He spent a long time studying the Samurai so that he knew how they fought, what their code was, and how to properly counter it. Failing that, he just resorted to straight-up Combat Pragmatist tendencies by not caring about honor, using said honor against Samurai who rigidly stuck to it even when it became clear that their code wasn't working. Jin himself is a quick learner when it comes to swordsmanship. He can learn his opponents' move and use it against them in one fight. In one notable instance, he masters the Heavenly Strike maneuver — a mythical maneuver that takes great skill — simply by studying the movements of the man he's currently fighting, who himself has just mastered it. And he does it again when learning the Dance of Wrath as it is being used on him.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_740f59b4	comment	Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Armored Mongol soldiers wear colored clothing that roughly matches their difficulty levels. The order goes Unarmored < Red < Blue < Yellow < Green, with Iki Island adding Purple. Starting with Blue, each tier has unique abilities: Blue archers fire in bursts of three arrows, and blue bombersnote bombers don't appear prior to this tier throw blinding flash bombs. Yellow shieldmen and archers can light their weapons on fire, yellow brutes can be armed with a hand cannon that ignites whatever it hits, and yellow bombers throw incendiary bombs. Green archers fire poison arrows, and green brutes come equipped with massive tower shields that totally block any and all stagger damage from the front, forcing you to dodge their attacks and strike them from behind to deal any damage. The Iki Island DLC adds an offshoot: Purple. Switcher Mongols will switch weapons, forcing Jin to change his stance, while Purple Brutes use devastating double-ended spears who resist the Moon Stance and thus have no real weaknesses. Shamans also appear in this class, whose chants bolster every other Mongol type by doubling their health, stagger resistance, any almost exclusively use heavy attacks that knock Jin to the ground.

The real Mongols even made Khotun Khan's moment of Combat Pragmatism at the start of the game look tame by comparison; when Real Life samurai bravely stepped forward to duel, the entire Mongol army swarmed him and cut him down with spears and lances.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_7fbb2a3	comment	Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: After managing to retake Fort Sakai, Jin comes up with a plan with the raiders to re-create the ambush tactics they used to kill his father at Senjo Gorge and exploit the Eagle's focus on finding and converting Jin to lure her into the gorge so they can entrap and kill her once and for all. However, shortly into the mission, Jin has a hallucination of the Eagle, which makes him realize that he had already told her about the gorge and its significance to him while he was hallucinating her as Yuna, meaning that she's already leading her forces to the gorge before the raiders were even ready to ambush her. This forces Jin and Tenzo to save Fune from the Mongols' early attack and attempt to finish off the Eagle with only half their men. Kazumasa's efforts on the island to bring order and build a fortress to help the region only left the locals with bitter memories against his efforts, and inadvertently gave the Mongols the perfect base to carry out their conquest of the island.

With the reveal that Tenzo really is his actual killer, it's likely Jin's subconscious mind had already recognized him, but he didn't put much thought into it due to the effect the Eagle's poison was having on his mind and needing all the aid he could find.

Ishikawa doesn't intervene to help him, despite knowing that the Mongols were there. After the battle, when Jin presses him on it, Ishikawa brushes it off saying that if Jin can't defeat a half-dozen Mongols on his own, what hope does he have against an archer like Tomoe? Jin's response elicits a genuine laugh from Ishikawa.

The player can also try mixing it up in a single skirmish, assassinating opportunistic targets while facing others head-on. There are, however, occasional missions where the player has no choice whatsoever; for example, missions involving Lord Shimura are invariably head-on while missions involving Masako usually involve tailing someone unseen.

The wind thus forms a recurring motif in the game, especially when Jin faces setbacks: When he was defeated at the beginning of the game, the wind flows around the family sword. When he's again defeated in his first combat with the Khan, Jin looks at the rising breeze. The motif is integrated into the game mechanics, with the Guiding Wind that acts as the navigation system, pointing Jin toward his destination. In the Kurosawa Mode, the wind is cranked up to eleven in order to fit the aesthetic of the legendary filmmaker.

When Jin slaughters a Mongol leader in stealth or kills enough enemies without taking any damage, he's able to kill several enemies with only one blow for a period of time, with a high chance of terrifying any who witness the kills. The Ghost Armor reduces the number of kills needed to enter the stance. note Without any upgrades, the Ghost Armor requires Jin to kill six enemies instead of seven, whereas a fully-upgraded Ghost Armor bumps down the requirement by two, requiring only five kills.

As Jin finds throughout the story, "honor" means little when the enemy does not fight by the same rules, as the Khan demonstrates when he lures the defenders of Tsushima into abandoning their defensible chokepoint and get them slaughtered. Furthermore, the samurai code was built on the oppression of the lower classes, and the Shogunate's displeasure with Jin's "dishonorable" tactics is ultimately little more than a fig leaf for the fact that he managed to inspire the commoners to stand up to the Mongols without depending on their samurai masters.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_963086ce	comment	Damn You, Muscle Memory!: Most open world games have entering/exiting transportation mapped to the triangle button, whereas Ghost of Tsushima has mounting your horse mapped to the R2 button. Cue many players attacking their horse the first few times they try to get on it. Most games make their Context-Sensitive Button the X button, while that function is assigned to R2 here. Cue many players jumping around like idiots while trying to interact with things or, worse, while trying to move stealthily around enemies. This is doubled down with the "squeeze through tiny gap" mechanic, which was present in another hotly anticipated PlayStation 4 game released only weeks prior, but used a different input for executing it. Many other games relegate the menu to the Triangle button, which here is used for Heavy Attack (while the menu is brought up with the less frequently-used Options button.) This has led many an RPG fan to accidentally slice at the air when trying to access the map or switch equipment. Most games with platforming sections will allow you to jump between handholds to move faster. This game flashes up a warning not to jump.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb	comment	Difficult, but Awesome: Standoff, once fully optimized can kill up to five enemies and, as an additional bonus from Sakai's armor, give a chance to terrify those witnessing Jin cutting down five men like nothing. The difficult part is that as the game progress enemies are harder to read and striking too early takes all but a sliver of life from Jin's health bar, but pull it off and the enemies who charge at you afterwards are a piece of cake by comparison, letting you slaughter entire scouting parties. Perfect Parry and Perfect Dodge allow a player to completely deflect or dodge an enemy's attack and then follow up with damage. As the game progresses (or the user picks higher difficulties) the timing window for these abilities grows narrower. The half-bow and longbow allow Jin to snipe enemies at range. This is harder than it sounds, however, as Jin cannot remain hidden, his aim has a slight sway, arrows make noise when they strike something, and arrows drop off with distance (this is more readily apparent with the half-bow than the longbow). In addition to this, later enemies start wearing armor and shields that can make them immune to arrow damage unless the player aims very carefully at weak points, and ammunition becomes harder to come by. If a player masters archery, however, they'll be able to take out single targets from anywhere without ever being seen.

At that point in the game you were just given the Half Bow. Holding L2 as instructed and noticing that the tool tip said "weapons" in plural tells you there will be at least three more ranged weapons. You also unlock Ghost weapons and skills way before anyone even starts seeing you as the Ghost or Jin really starts forsaking his honor. A few that will be noticeable to players who go for 100% Completion before fighting the Final Boss: Firstly, the Wind of Vanity stops tracking Haiku at 17/18. Second, the Trophy for completing every duel doesn't pop upon defeating Khotun Khan, which all but spoils that Jin's meeting with Lord Shimura will end in a fight.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: When Yuna rescues Jin, she asks him when the other samurai are coming. Yuna knows that Jin is officially no longer a samurai but it was a threat that Jin told the Eagle, which only hints further that this isn't the real Yuna. During their conversation, 'Yuna' questions Jin about several details pertaining to his father and his death, after learning from Jin that he is the hated Sakai heir in his drug-addled state of mind. Jin specifically mentions the location where his father was killed, his choice of words making it clear to the Eagle that he personally witnessed the event, and she uses this knowledge against Jin in the Final Boss fight, intentionally picking the same location where Kazumasa perished to heighten Jin's Mind Screw throughout their fight. During the mission to destroy the Eagle's warship, Tenzo is found finishing off a captive Mongol in anger over something the latter had told him, disbelieving it. Then, after the mission, he privately speaks to Jin, telling him that the Mongol had told him Jin's true identity as the Sakai heir on the Eagle's orders, with him reluctantly accepting that Jin is still an ally to the Iki islanders regardless after seeing him in action— and also because by that point he'd vouched for Jin as an ally, and if his true identity got out, then both of them would be targets for the raiders' ire. His disbelief is given another aspect to it once he's revealed to be the one that killed Kazumasa Sakai, as he could possibly be fearful of the consequences should Jin find out. During the conversation that follows as Jin and Tenzo are making their way down the cliffs to the rowboats, Tenzo asks Jin what's the worst thing that ever happened to him in a mocking manner, clearly not believing that the son of the island's most hated enemy could have suffered much. If Jin selects the option to say it was witnessing his father's death that haunted him the most, Tenzo seems genuinely taken aback, and gives a sincere, if subdued "I'm sorry" in response. He's just realized how traumatizing it was for young Jin to watch him kill his father right in front of him. On a related note, Tenzo's Establishing Character Moment is him appearing to slit the throat of what appears to be Kazumasa Sakai right in front of Jin, only for it to turn out to be a shaman that Jin was perceiving as his father. With the reveal that Tenzo really is his actual killer, it's likely Jin's subconscious mind had already recognized him, but he didn't put much thought into it due to the effect the Eagle's poison was having on his mind and needing all the aid he could find.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_a0db7803	comment	It's Personal: After Khotun Khan brutally kills Taka, Jin is visibly affected by the act, screaming in pure rage and barely keeping a clear head, which stands at odds with his normal character enforced by the samurai ways. His subsequent rampage against the Straw Hats who aided in capturing Taka and delivering them both to the Khan has Jin snarling at them in anger and cursing them as backstabbing traitors. When Yuna arrives and finds her brother's corpse, she's also so emotionally distraught that she foregoes her usual stealth tactics, attacking the remaining Straw Hats in the fort head-on with a sword and being just as enraged as Jin. Though they both manage to recompose themselves afterwards, they're clearly left broken by their failure to protect Taka and Jin makes it his priority to repay those he holds responsible for it in blood. He also denies Ryuzo's pleas to let him rejoin his side because Ryuzo was the one that set up the trap that captured them both, and when he finally confronts the Khan again, he speaks with icy, murderous hatred towards him. Jin's anger is such that it also affects his fighting style afterwards, as he becomes invested in making the Mongols as terrified and helpless as their victims, which greatly contributes to his falling out with Lord Shimura afterwards, as Jin is in no mood to withhold the full extent of his effective tactics against the Mongols for the sake of honour, even in front of his uncle, and is further enraged by the needless deaths Shimura's orders cause for their side by sending them into an obvious trap. This in turn also further leads him to accept the Ghost persona over Shimura's wishes, because he's so angry at the Mongols that he thinks it's Worth It to give all the Mongols entrenched in the keep a gruesome death via wolfsbane poison, especially if it protects lives that will be lost if they follow Shimura's plans for 'honourable' combat.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_a414c3f0	comment	One-Hit Kill: If Jin instills enough terror into the Mongols, they will drop their weapons and run, or fall to the ground and try to crawl away from him. In either scenario, they die in one hit. The Ghost Stance, unlocked in the second act of the game. When Jin slaughters a Mongol leader in stealth or kills enough enemies without taking any damage, he's able to kill several enemies with only one blow for a period of time, with a high chance of terrifying any who witness the kills. The Ghost Armor reduces the number of kills needed to enter the stance. note Without any upgrades, the Ghost Armor requires Jin to kill six enemies instead of seven, whereas a fully-upgraded Ghost Armor bumps down the requirement by two, requiring only five kills. Jin's Typhoon Kick, one of the earliest skills of the Wind Stance, sends an enemy flying quite a distance (and an even longer distance when upgraded). You can use it to kick enemies off of lookout towers, cliffs, mountains, or even into water slightly deeper than waist-deep, and the fall damage from a high enough place will instantly kill the foe.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_a8a4b41e	comment	Not So Stoic: Despite Lord Shimura's emphasis on samurai stoicism, a lot of samurai are shown losing control of their emotions in times of stress. Jin's father begging his son to save him. It has more to do with him panicking than rationally thinking an unarmed boy can rescue him, and only results in leaving Jin saddled with guilt throughout his life. Jin's stoicism erodes as the story progress, unable to hide his anger toward the Mongols. Taka's death makes him scream in a rage and grief. After many men died in the failed siege of Castle Shimura due to poor tactics, he finally loses his temper and rages against his uncle about all he's given up in order to fight the Mongols while Shimura "did nothing" and just stubbornly clung to honor. Following the above, Shimura slaps Jin in a moment of anger. Doubly notable considering he was just lecturing Jin on losing control of his emotions. Yuna is paralyzed with fear at the idea of returning to the slave camp where she and her brother were held captive as kids, heavily implying that they were abused. Ishikawa immediately kills a Mongol in anger when he reveals why Clan Nagao really cast him out, and tells Jin to forget what he heard. Lady Masako basically enters an Unstoppable Rage at a mere presence of one of the conspirators to her family's murders, and is simmering with Tranquil Fury any other time.

Also applies to the enemy, with more dangerous enemies being more ornately equipped - lowly bandits and Mongol grunts are wearing barely more than rags, mid-tier enemies at least look battle-ready, and the Mongol Elite Mooks stand out in Bling of War.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_b2280b66	comment	Retcon: One that applies to the Main Game upon the Director's Cut release, but the death of Jin's father, Kazumasa Sakai, is heavily altered, initially taking place in a snow-covered location, and him being struck down by an unmasked, random bandit, to instead take place in a wooded area under a wisteria tree on Iki Island, with Kazumasa being killed by a masked raider who gives him a Pre-Mortem One-Liner instead. This is to accommodate the expansion's reveal that Tenzo, one of Jin's main allies throughout the Iki Island storyline, is that self-same 'raider'. In the Director's Cut, Kazumasa's death has the appropriate setting and one-liner.

It's very telling that those same men they now demonize through folk tales are instead treated as legendary heroic figures in Tsushima and possibly across the rest of Japan.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_b542cf17	comment	Opposing Combat Philosophies: Honor has always been the backbone of samurai culture, so when the Mongols invade Tsushima, they are Combat Pragmatists capable of outsmarting any strategy the samurai could possibly come up with. This forces the protagonist, Jin Sakai, to adopt a more pragmatic and ruthless style, not unlike the shinobi that are still centuries away from being implemented in Japan's culture. This leads to much heated debate among the heroes on who agrees with his discarding of honor and those who disagree (especially his uncle Lord Shimura). By the time the invasion is repelled, the Shogun demands Jin's head for causing much strife by inspiring the peasantry to follow his example, effectively causing a upheaval in the island's politics.

The "Friends in Passing" sidequest has a woman chat with Jin about the Ghost, and asks whether he, deep down, enjoys killing Mongols underneath all his "I do what I must to defend my people" proclamations. Sensei Ishikawa also chastises Jin for appearing to enjoy fighting too much and for using a very violent fighting technique unbefitting of a proper samurai. He's reticent about teaching Jin since he worries he'll just follow in the footsteps of his previous apprentices.

They are found separated in open territory, so that any attempt to free one will cause the guards surrounding the other prisoner to kill him. You have to choose between rescuing your (half-crippled and pregnant) guide Hotoke's husband and letting Doshun (who is the sole source of food for the local refugee camp and Hotoke's surrogate father) die, or rescuing Doshun and letting Togo die. If you choose to save Togo, Hotoke thanks you and leaves peacefully with him, but visiting their camp later on reveals that without Doshun providing them steady food and healing, all of the refugees gradually starved to death, including Hotoke and her unborn child. If you saved Doshun instead, the camp will thrive and the refugees stay well-fed, but Hotoke blames Jin for her husband's death and later tries to have him killed by bandits.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_c335b9ec	comment	Irony: The game's combat tutorial, done in a flashback with Jin sparring with Lord Shimura, has Shimura question Jin upon what honour means to him personally, rather than just a word that he's been taught to espouse as one of his clans' tenants. Jin answers that for him, honour means protecting the weak and the defenseless and those who cannot fight for themselves, which Shimura takes as a sign he will be a great samurai because of his kind heart. Anybody who's read the game's summary can tell instead that it's precisely because of this kindness and desire to protect those victimized by the strong in the wake of the current invasion that Jin will eventually abandon honour and the samurai ways, starting with him first learning how to backstab an enemy because if the Mongols are alerted to him infiltrating their camps, they'll makes sure to kill any hostages they have before they fight him, thus Jin must behave dishonourably if he wants to preserve lives. Additionally, the Iki Island expansion revealed that Jin's father, Kazumasa Sakai, was concerned with Jin's capacity to one day be the Sakai heir, citing his kind personality as a reason why he was too soft to be the effective warrior the head of the clan needed to be. However, it's again because of this self-same kindness that Jin starts creating the Ghost persona to terrify and intimate the Mongols as they in turn victimized the people of Tsushima, eventually developing into a Terror Hero in the same vein as his father, who also had a knack for pragmatism and terrifying friend and foe alike in combat with his actions and appearance.

Jin has to basically invent being a ninja as a form of adaptation to the Mongol invaders, as fighting fair will get him and others killed quickly. So such weaponry are called "Ghost" weapons and tactics are called "Evolving Tactics." Additionally, Jin is much more combat-capable than actual Ninjas, who tended to match up poorly in straightforward fighting, with their tactics and skills being based more around misdirection and swift sneak attacks to the target's blind spot, and resultantly, whilst Jin does become sneakier and more stealth-capable as the game progresses, he never quite reaches the level of near-invisibility ninjas are famed for. Considering he's on the run from the law by the end of the game, but has many allies among the peasantry, he may just have to create his own ninja clan from among the farmers and whatnot in the future.

As duels restrict Jin to only using his samurai sword skills, if the player hasn't explored Tsushima sufficiently to level up Jin's fighting skills and unlock more armours he can wear in battle, the fights are nigh-impossible to win, but are quite manageable if Jin has sufficiently strong armour with additional benefits depending on the type equipped, as well as expanded the fighting stances he can use to best counter the foe's tactics, such as the water stance to beat down Mongol commanders who duel him using shields.

A late-game sidequest consists almost entirely of Jin chatting with a random woman he meets on the slopes. He figures out almost right away that this is Tomoe, Ishikawa-sensei's traitorous student, but seeing that she's now fighting Mongols herself, and that she sincerely wanted to speak with him to understand him better, he responds in kind and advocates for her before Ishikawa instead of killing her immediately for all the death she has caused.

During Jin's initial attack on Fort Sakai, if the player gets far enough into the fort, he's challenged to a standoff with Khunbish, automatically entering into it as has happened several times during the main game, and being given a button prompt to begin. However, before the player can release the button, the observing Mongols defy the Mook Chivalry present in the game mechanic and throw stun bombs around both combatants, with Khunbish's heavier armour allowing him to absorb the blast better than Jin, who gets knocked to the ground from the blast. Despite the player technically having control during this section, they cannot release the attack or move Jin away before the blast, because he's too focused on Khunbish to react to the surprise attack, thus allowing Jin to lose while still retaining player control to proceed the story. If the player should be overwhelmed by Mongols in combat before that point, however, the same cutscene of Khunbish knocking Jin unconscious plays regardless, thus Jin's loss is guaranteed without it being justified via cutscene.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: The Shrine of Ash is a shout-out to God of War. Honoring the shrine while wearing the Clan Sakai armour unlocks the Ghost of Sparta dye, the Spartan mask, and the Helm of War helmet; a reference to Kratos' body paint. A short segment of the game's menu music also plays during a short cutscene. The Blood-Stained Shrine is a reference to Bloodborne. Honoring this shrine while dressed in the Kensei armour unlocks the Yharnam Helm straw hat, and the Yharnam Vestments dye. The Shrine in Shadow is a shout-out to Shadow of the Colossus. Honoring the shrine while wearing the Ghost armour unlocks the Mask of the Colossus and the Armour of the Colossus dye. The latest update to the game has added the Forbidden Shrine, a shout-out to Horizon Forbidden West. The shrine is covered in glowing red vines much like corrupted machines. Wearing Tadayori's armour while completing the shrine's puzzle will unlock the Sign of the Hunter headband and the Seeker's Attire dye; a reference to Aloy's clothes. The vines on the statue will also turn blue similar to Aloy's overriden machines. The Saruiwa mountain path has several nods to Sucker Punch's earlier games: Just before the first hole you need to squeeze through, there's a hidden grapple point that leads to cliffside with a painting of a two-headed bird. A bit later on, there's a ledge you can grab onto that instantly collapses as you do so. Below this one are a bunch of regular ledges that lead to a large painting of a shave-headed warrior clad in blue and red, surrounded by bolts of lightning and holding a strange two-bladed weapon. Near Sentinel's Peak, you can find a cave hidden behind a waterfall that contains the mask worn by the tengu archer from "The Curse of Uchitsune." On one wall of this cave, you see a painting of three animals - a raccoon, a turtle, a purple hippo - dressed up like thieves.

Numerous citizens who surrendered to the Mongols are only marginally better off than those who resist. A letter notes that the Mongols treat the skilled slaves with a genuine respect for their craft, but if they have no skills they see them as lower than their dogs. People who can't work at all (the sick, injured or elderly) get executed without a second thought.

He also stabs through iron lamellar with a katana as if the armor was paper. Even before said upgrades, Jin's training as a samurai already made him able to scale tall, sheer cliff faces and mountains solely by his prodigious upper-body strength, flinging himself from one rail-thin ledge to the other, several meters above or to the side, just by pulling himself across the gap. All this with zero loss of stamina and only a small "Hup!" as he does so. All of the Elite Mooks are capable of sending Jin flying with their strikes, among other things.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_cab5085a	type	Rain of Arrows
Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_cab5085a	comment	The Mongols were famous for fighting primarily from horseback; horse archers would rain arrows down on army formations, then mounted lancers would be sent to mow down any survivors en masse. In fact, the combination of mobility and heavy damage was explicitly what made them so successful against contemporary armies. They could fight on foot if forced to (such as during a siege), but were reliant on recruiting/conscripting conquered peoples for any dedicated infantry. However, presumably for gameplay reasons, Mongol horsemen will all dismount to face Jin, and even during sieges and major battles, Mongol cavalry tend to be largely absent. Additionally, the invasion force's dedicated infantry are all portrayed as ethnic Mongols, even though in real life, they would have probably been primarily Han Chinese and Korean levies.

If you wear the Sakai Clan armor during the expansion, you will be forced to wear the "From Yarikawa" armor dye with the Sakai Clan marker being painted over and the armor itself is restricted to its base level appearance even if you fully upgraded it. The Mythic Tale "The Legacy of Kazumasa Sakai" is centered around the aforementioned samurai and his infamous reputation on Iki Island. If you wear the Sakai Clan armor when attempting to start the Tale, the villagers will flee in fear despite the Sakai crest being painted over by the Yarikawa insignia.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_d39e327f	comment	In a nation like Japan where honor is so significant, especially for the Samurai who are essentially defined by it, Jin's gradual abandonment of his honor repeatedly earns him harsh criticism for abandoning the very code he was raised to uphold as he spreads this pragmatism to the peasantry for seizing back their lands. This becomes so much of a problem that even after saving Tsushima, the Shogunate calls for Jin's death because his pragmatic, shinobi-style ways could undermine the Samurai and ruling caste now that there's an entire region of people following Jin's example, while using the Samurai code of honor as a socially-justified excuse to execute him.

However, there is a Japanese dub that's available in the English version if you so choose to play it that way. Characters speaking Japanese is represented with the language the player selected, meaning that (for example) Khotun Khan speaks it to a Tsushima local because he learnt it (and if a character is speaking it poorly, they can't speak it very well). This is extended to the bandit characters: they're Tsushima locals, so the player can understand them too! However, the bulk of the Mongols only speak Mongolian no matter which dub you play, as the Japanese characters aren't supposed to be able to understand them. Usually, Mongolian is only spoken, not subbed. On rare occasions, the Mongolian dialogue will be subtitled... into Mongolian.

The developers have since confirmed that the game is designed to generate more bad weather if the player favors "dishonorable", i.e. Ghost tactics. What this entails can sometimes be iffy, as even just using the grappling hook during puzzle platforming, or using a single Wind Chime to distract a foe, can saturate the next half hour with booming thunder. In addition, when the Ghost Stance gauge fills up all the way, the weather will immediately become stormy and punctuated with lightning and thunder.

The game even provides you with literal guide lines beneath the aiming crosshairs so that you can gauge your arc more accurately; the harder you pull on the bowstring, the tighter the guide lines become, indicating that the arc is determined by the strength of your pull—a split-second pull is all you need for an enemy a few yards away, but a hundred-meter arc needs you to pull all the way back or the arrow will drop before hitting true. The guides for the longbow are naturally much more precise than those for the half-bow.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_e8cae797	comment	Freudian Trio: Shimura, Ishikawa and Masako, the three elderly members of the samurai class during the game are this. Masako represents the Id as she is more prone to rush in to battle to attack her enemies in her quest to avenge her loved ones. She nearly had a falling out with Jin after she attacked him when he decided to defend Jushin, a monk, who she falsely accused of killing her family. Her sister Hana was the actual culprit. Futhermore with regards to Jin's plan to poison the Mongol's after a disastrous attempt to charge the bridge to the main keep, she fully supports Jin's plan as it will save lives and prevent more mothers from losing their sons; something she is all to familiar with. Shimura represents the Superego as he is more concerned with societal rules and conventions like honor and setting an example for the lower class citizens, even at the expense of their lives. This causes a rift and eventual fallout between him and Jin, who has his code of honor, as Jin decides to do whatever it takes to save lives, societal conventions be damned. Upon poisoning the Mongols, Shimura orders Jin's arrest after unsuccessfully trying to convince the latter to blame Yuna for poisoning the enemy. After Jin escapes, due to the fact that he was to be shipped off to the Shogun to face judgement, Shimura receives orders to kill Jin; something he intends to do after dealing with the Mongols. Ishikawa represents the Ego, while he does adhere to the rules and conventions of society like Shimura, he is not above using surroundings such as hornet nests and explosive barrels agains enemies. He is also not above tasking individuals to aid in his pursuit of Tomoe. Furthermore, he desired to adopt Tomoe until they had a falling out, and ultimately aligns himself with Jin after Sakai's own falling out with his uncle due to poisoning the Mongols; Ishikawa warned Jin to tread carefully regarding his plan, but did not officially oppose the plan like Shimura.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_e993da98	comment	Equal-Opportunity Evil: While there are no women in their ranks, the Khan is much more open than Shimura about accepting anyone willing to fight for him, as fitting with his belief in Pragmatic Villainy. Commoner women like Tomoe or even Rōnin like Ryuzo and his Straw Hats are welcome so long as they can fight and contribute. One letter comments that the Mongol genuinely treats the skilled prisoners well but those they have no use for are treated worse than their dogs.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_e9f517e1	type	Artistic License â€“ Geography
Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_e9f517e1	comment	Artistic License â€“ Geography: Tsushima Island is treated as being much bigger than it actually is, constituting multiple prefectures, taking weeks for the Mongols to subdue, housing at least one clan of dozens of ronin, and being notable enough that Khotun planned to make its lord (Shimura) his right-hand man when he lands on the mainland (its significance is more consistent with, say, Kyushu, or at least Shikoku). In real life, Tsushima Island is tiny, so much that the Mongols barely spent a few days there, and had prefectures really existed back then, the whole of the island would be just a small part of one (Nagasaki, in this case). It also goes without saying Tsushima is also not nearly large enough that it would be temperate and borderline summery in the South while the North would be covered in ice and snow.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_eef00c27	comment	Japanese Spirit: Downplayed and deconstructed. True to Real Life, the phrase "Yamato Damashii" didn't exist during this era, but a lot of the cultural values that would become codified within that trope are demonstrated. Being willing to risk certain death for one's principles is seen as the highest value a samurai can display, and the many tales told by Yamato about legendary warriors amounts to inhuman acts of resolve and bravery revealing or inspiring equally-inhuman feats of strength and talent. However, the events of the game deconstruct the notion as Jin begins to question how useful such beliefs and convictions are in the face of complete annihilation.

He decides to attack a fortified position head on, and even after suffering severe casualties, he is insistent on finishing the job. Predictably, Jin and Yuna are horrified at the death toll and urge time to rest the soldiers, Shimura likely banking on the Undying Loyalty of his men to follow him anyway.

To the people of Iki, Tadayori was a mass murderer and Kazumasa a genocidal monster. On a larger scale, this is the central theme of the entire DLC. The samurais pacifying Iki were treated as heroes by the people of Tsushima. But to the people of Iki, they were monstrous, mass-murdering butchers and tyrants.

When Jin becomes more infamous as the Ghost, and enemies can be terrified enough to fall on the floor, however, killing them while they're down does not net the same Resolve gain.

Ghost of Tsushima (Video Game) / int_fc07d409	comment	Hopeless Boss Fight: Jin's initial fight against Khotun Khan ends up being this. During this point of the game, Jin has inadequate equipment or abilities to fight the leader of the Mongolian invasion, not to mention he only just recovered from his near-death at Komoda beach, and really shouldn't be doing something as strenuous as launching a one-man army assault on Castle Kaneda, leading to him being beaten and thrown over the bridge. This defeat makes Jin realize he can't defeat the Mongols by himself or with samurai fighting techniques, and his quest to find new allies and develop new skills kicks off the game. While it is possible to completely deplete Khotun Khan's lifebar, if you're good enough, the game will basically No-Sell this and he'll continue to fight until he depletes your health.

Some of the stealth-related equipment that Jin uses — the rope and hook called kaginawa, smoke bombs, black powder bombs, firecrackers, kunai — was actually used by real-life shinobi. The wide straw hats that Jin receives was also utilized by shinobi as part of their disguise. But notably, nobody refers to Jin as a shinobi / ninja, since Jin predates them by several hundreds of years. Japan did have two different sized bows, the short bow hankyÅ« ("half bow") and the much longer yumi.
