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
I've never watched Afro Samurai so I don't know how they handled making a black dude a samurai. I'm guessing they didn't say he was an actual real person though. That's the difference with the whole Yasuke thing.
AC3 did the Native American during the revolutionary war and no one cared because they didn't claim the dude was a real guy with a real history.
Afro Samurai has Samuel L Jackson starring as Afro and his friend Monkey. Afro has the voice he uses for serious characters and Monkey has the voice he used in Pulp Fiction.
I think a black samurai being in a show where he fights a white cowboy is on a completely different planet from this shit.

Weird opinion considering the jap who made it was inspired by both yasuke and his love for blacks. How is that so different from this again?
