That’s such a weird argument to make. I still say that if I was in charge of making a game during that period my priority would not be on Yasuke. Seems like common sense. Can’t wait for Assassin’s Creed: Zulu where you play as a former British officer who defects to join Shaka Zulu. Not quite the same thing but the principle remains. Also, anyone claiming they did this organically is being ridiculous especially after the guy who worked on the game in the early stages came out and said they changed the story
Seeing the American Revolution as an Indian? Seeing the crusades as a muslim? In a vacuum, the idea of showing a perspective outside of the norm is fine, obviously though in our “modern world” the driving motivation behind these decisions is the issue.
I mean shit, I liked Afro Samurai, didn’t you guys? That was “yasuke” too
Yea I enjoyed Afro samurai and liked the song. You are right though about perspectives outside the norm but I wouldn’t trust modern writers to do a good job because so many are the usual college grads who see everything as oppression and colonialism
