Well I practiced Kendo for 5 years reaching 2nd Dan and some championship wins. Plus I have an idea of the strenght of a katana and purpose and can ensure you that a samurai fight would be closer to a two people analyzing one another and deciding the match in a few strokes (can be even one depending on where you hit) instead of multiple heats and sword clashing as you see in Holywood. I would ask you to try fighting without a hand, or with a 3 inches deep cut on the arm or head. No one man battalion gameplay is really "close to reality".
Yes they are considering Japan, but I don't remember the report where I saw it, but they decided to avoid Japan for a decade because the setting was already being used by a high profile game.
This excuse of foreign setting is totally obtuse considering that for over 20years the curiosity for Japan material have just increased and is one of the dominant forces in the market.
Well I haven't seem the PS2 game or just forgot about it. But I really loved the 2 or 3 I played on PS1. I was even a lot interested in the Sekiro, but since it uses Souls system I didn't try yet because I don't like the type of gameplay over there.

Noticed the 5 years of Kendo comment , so I have to ask did you like Bushido blade

I didn't know the game at the time so I never played. But from what I heard it was somewhat accurate movement.
