   "we took creative liberties with a unique and fascinating historical figure to bring you a great story" would have been pretty easy to say

     @overflow 1. the historical accuracy argument is stupid until you start talking about accuracy and it's not accurate, this is a hairy argument I admit
     2. I know, I was actually reading about him a couple years ago and very recently before the kerfluffle about the game because people keep vandalizing wikipedia to add him to a page that listed who was eligible to be in a list for a couple years now. He's super interesting.
     3. among other things he's a figure in romance novels in Japan lol yeah it's a bad argument. but a bunch of people were looking forward to a Japanese assassins creed expecting the mc to be Japanese.
     
     I have a bugbear about it which is when I was reading about him, there's evidence he was legally permitted to carry swords and was permitted at court so he's a serious historical figure he never met multiple criteria to be called a samurai (this is muddied by some other people that didn't meet the definition being called that though but I am too lazy to catalog them, I just agree it's not totally fair to only exclude him)
     
     foreign-born people in Japan in the 16-17th century are all super interesting I got fixated on this because of the culture fight shit, which in retrospect I feel kind of stupid about.

     @sun 1) it's an alternative history video game series why is it that all of a sudden historical accuracy matters to these people
     2) yasuke's not some oc he is a real historical figure
     3) there's lots of dramas and mangas about him so why are these people so concerned that the japanese don't like him

     @ChristiJunior of course but the historical figure is interesting even if they weren't a samurai. you have to admit it's novel and interesting.

     @sun It also wouldn't be true - we ALL know why they went with Oda Nobunaga's pet rather than an actual Samurai.

     @sun It's ultimately side story material, the kind of thing you look to tackle after first doing justice to a whole host of worthier, more important storylines and historical personalities.

     >even if they weren't a samurai
     
     was Yasuke a schizo, or Legion? Dafuq's up with the use of singular they when talking about a known male individual?

     I just want a Japanese-made game where Ranma fights and doesn’t care who sees his tits when he gets splashed

     @sun Yeah, *after first doing justice to a whole host of worthier, more important storylines and historical personalities*. This is Japan we're talking about.
     
     Meanwhile, Assassin's Creed Spooks is the first AC game set in Japan, right? Ubishit going with a historical curiosity who's as unrepresentative of Japan as possible can't be defended. Not to mention that the Japanese historian they hired to consult on the game specializes not in military history or the Azuchi-Momoyama period, but Pederasty (which she passionately defends).
     
     Again, picking the single worst possible option seems to define Ubishit's approach to this whole project.
