The Japanese are sensitive if foreigners tinkering with their old history and traditions. Yasuke was a historical person but he was never a samurai. He remained a low-key servant. Is it ok to make a game based on an outcast and upgrade his story? Yes, that's how great stories are told in books, comics/mangas, films/animes and games. However, at the same time, you shouldn't be suprised if you are ignored in a country which is sensitive to its own history and traditions. Adding to the negative vibe is the fact that it's from Ubisoft, a french company. France is wellknown to be at the forefront of wokeness, especially in the artist and creative circles to whom game makers belong. |
Sorry but where did you get that he was never a Samurai because from what I've read he was Nobunaga Oda's Lui tenant, Yasuke wasn't even his original name it was given to him by Oda when he became a samurai under him this is in multiple historic books especially when you look into the Hannoji incident and to further this Japan themselves have created multiple media in the same way Ubisoft have to the point the is a character archtype of him in animes and games etc... of the tall black samurai like character with Guilty Gear and Bleach being examples with such characters. This isn't anything to do with being woke.
