An Assassin's Creed set in feudal Japan would feel over-familiar, says AC3 director

I agree, it wouldn't be very interesting. The whole point is that you're an amazing assassin in a world where most people, well...aren't amazing assassins. Stick the character in a time when ninjas were everywhere and suddenly that feeling of power is a bit lessened. Sometimes I feel like people suggest the setting not because it would actually be a good one but because it's obvious.

Because everyone in feudal Japan was either a samurai or ninja and all the women were geishas.

Are you serious?

Obviously not EVERYONE fit into one of those categories, but make a game about assassins and yes, your character is going to be surrounded by ninjas.  It would be weird if he wasn't.
