The original game went out of its way to find one of a single digit number of masters of a niche, weird Japanese instrument to come on stage to announce the game.

This sequel was announced with a "genderfluid" Asian woman screaming about being the Ghost of Yotei all over.

Much like these two pictures, those gap between those two shows where the priorities lay. The first was more respectful to Japan despite being a white guy (who was a certified master by the actual Japs) compared to the Asian thot they have now, enough to get them a lot of honorary awards from the Island they portrayed.

This sequel will be very unlikely to receive the same. Heck its lucky that Ubisoft is taking all the Japanese's attention and hate off it.
