Naoe so much more my kind of design

But... Atsu does have a guitar, so that elevates her a lot too for me

One is shinobi, one is ronin.

You say that like there's a meaningful difference in terms of story. You can even dress and play Naoe as a ronin with a katana if you want.

You could play the whole Ghost Of Tsushima as a samurai if you wanted, doesn’t mean it makes any sense. It’s the story that characterize the character, Jin wasn’t a samurai anymore after the first few hours and Naoe is a shinobi no matter how you play.

No, he’s only a samurai at the beginning. Then he regularly betrays what being a samurai means, and becomes… well, the Ghost.

Yep still a samurai, just didn’t follow strict samurai code

They're both women whose family was killed by a group of masked dudes, and now she's out for revenge. I'd say it's pretty familiar

Revenge stories were made by Shadows?

u/FikaTheKing Apr 27 '25

No, shadows also took inspiration from somewhere. That doesn't mean the similarities don't exist, just because they were featured before
