Been busy so haven’t got to play. Fired it up yesterday and played for a couple hours. Just doing side quests.

Got stuck on liberating a lumberyard.

Says interrogate Saito’s soldier but I killed them all. I’m guessing this is some kind of glitch?

Spent like 30 minutes looking for a soldier.

Just looked it up, and the person the voices Jubei also voiced Charles from Red Dead Redemption 2.

If they do a DLC for this game, what would be the reason for Atsu to come outta retirement?

If they do a DLC for this game, what would be the reason for Atsu to come outta retirement?

The dark answer would be someone kills Kiku

Just finished beating this game. I love this game but the ending just pissed me off, and I'm kinda disappointed.

Spoiler: The Ending!

When Jubei jumped in and I was like . It was pointless for him to come back to the fight. And it damn near made me quit the game. IMO, would’ve been a more impactful ending if you have a "choice" in the end like Tsushima. A final stamp on where your playstyle/headcanon leans into.

And one of that choice can lead to Jubei's Death (revenge driven selfishness), and the other, Atsu's (Family driven selflessness)

I was so ready for Oyuki to sacrfice herself and finally prove to Jubei that she's changed too. But she was hanging along in that final episode and was pushed off screen just so Jubei could die unnecessarily.

Spoiler

I agree. The much better ending would be for Oyuki to make the final sacrifice to pay for her complicity in the Burning of the Tree. Either that or Atsu makes a kamikaze style sacrifice play that protects the family but also kills herself to fulfill what she said at her mothers grave "I'll come and join you when I finish it"

I can’t be the only thinking Mad Goro is mad flirty with Jubei.

Like some breh said, I wish I could replay the major duels
maybe in NG+ have a bounty/nemesis like system too

Saito was way easier than Mount Yotei Takezo

Finished the game today after letting the last 3 missions simmer for a week

Agreed on the ending being weak narrative wise.

Something tells me that the DLC might be Kiku going after a 3-4 year time jump.

Goro told Atsu that her brother was handsome I was like
