Ghost of Tsushima - Why Jin Sakai Deserves a Sequel 

“You have no honour” “And you are a slave to it”

Jin is such a badass character.

Jin becoming one of the first shinobi (ninja) would very much line up with history, as some of the first appearances of the shinobi is close to when GoT takes place.

"I have no honour, but I will not kill my family"

Im fairly positive the second game will be called ghost of Tsushima: Kamikaze. Takes place during 2nd mongol invasion and this time extends to the mainland however it is Jin who sets them back and earns the title of Kamikaze(Divine wind)

First Rise of the Ronin, then AC Shadows, and Shogun Netflix series, now Ghost of Tsushima on PC and a likely sequel? 2024 is truly the “Year of the Samurai”!👍

In just a few days of playing Ghost of Tsushima it became one of my favourite games of all time. I truly believe Jin Sakai's story has the potential to become one of the best gaming trilogies of all time up there with the likes of the Ezio games.

I agree with the Trilogy part. Because we literally have Batman in Arkham Games and Ezio in Assassins Creed games whose character built upon with each game and made them Legendary at the end of the trilogy. Jin as a character surely has what it takes to be one.

I Finished The Game today on PC it is spectacular one of my favorite games of all time

Ghost of Iga - Jin migrates to the mainland, following the Mongol forces, he decides to settle in the Iga province and start up a clan and train other 'ghosts' tie it into Shinobi/Ninja lore.

calling back to what jin in a flash back says to shimura, he still has honor. „Honor is to protect those that cant protect themselves.“

"Someday we'll go for a peaceful ride"

Sucker punch have the opportunity to have their own Ezio Trilogy with Jin Sakai hope they don’t waste it. Just imagine Jin and Yuna have the potential be the founders of the Shinobi / Ghosts from Iga Province since Jin is quite literally a Proto Shinobi and it was Yuna who showed him that path.

GOT is basically Batman Begins. It's just the beginning of the Ghosts story.

*SPOILERS* The director of the game, Nate Fox, did say in an interview (Kinda Funny Gamescast on RU-vid) that the ending in which Jin spares Shimura is the canon/true ending.

I wondered that sucker punch hinted a sequel at the end of the iki island DLC where the eagle said "one day, you will face the judgenent of your ancestors"

i hope jin goes the ezio, musashi route and becomes an old sword saint that yearns for peace and sake

I finished this masterpiece yesterday and might buy a Playstation if it gets a sequel.

I’m just playing devils advocate here but in some ways the games identity is more bound the setting of Tsushima then it is to Jin, the iconic art direction , the real world impact it had on the modern island , and of course the fact Tsushima suffered two invasions in real history; it will be interesting to see what the IP let’s go of (either Ghost’ or Tsushima ‘ ) ; or if it finds a way to let go of/ or keep both

Two best games of all time Red Dead Redemption 2 and Ghost of Tsushima definitely im not the first one who think that. I hope that we are going to have Ghost 2 next year if 1 has been this good 2 is going to be the potential best game ever.

It is worth mentioning how SuckerPunch declared a canon ending via looking at the trophy data when they made InFamous 2

Let's look at the aspect of Jin Sakai being a playable MK1 character. For L2 it can be used as a button to change stances for his swordplay. As for DB2 it can be a smoke bomb being used, and DF1 can be used for Kunais. Ex moves for DB2 can be used for toxic smoke, and Ex DF1 can throw 3 Kunais. As for hunting bow it can be BF3 and explosive arrow can be the Ex BF3. As for the kicks it can be for all 4 stances. This character may or may not be as popular but he's fictional and M rated which qualifies for Mortal Kombat.

I cant wait for ghost of tsushima, I would love to see him build up a shinobi (ninja) army, and going to the main land.

1:18 And the bandits can't forget about them

I've already clocked 51 hours on PC since release, beating both the main game and DLC on lethal difficulty. It's insanely good.

I think they could still call it Ghost of Tsushima 2 no matter where it takes place. No matter what, he’ll always be the ghost *from* Tsushima. And that title is probably registered trademark so there’s brand recognition marketing stuff to think about I guess. I remember when almost no one thought Red Dead Redemption 2 would be named like that and everyone just assumed it would be Red Dead [insert R word] so it wouldn’t surprise me at all to see them just slap a 2 on there.

I remember Jin’s actor casually saying in one of his interviews that it’s a origin story which got me excited

Ultimate reason: cuz he a sexy badass

bro your thumbnails are amazing how do you not get more views

It only makes sense to make the sequel cover the second Mongol invasion and most of all, the Shogun’s hunt for the Ghost. Also, I think there would be upside to spinoffs for Norio, Tomoe, and Yuna.

cant wait to see jin got old and be a true legend he is

As good as AC Shadows may be it wont be better than Ghost, maybe it’ll have better movement or stealth but i dont think nothing else will meet Ghost’s level.

The bushido of Sucker punch should be protected.

I think it would be cool to have it take place at the beginning of the sengoku period and the main character uses the legend of the ghost of tsushima and becomes the first official shinobi and teaches others the ways of the shinobi which is all inspired by the legendary Jin sakai who drove off the mongols centuries before

I would love a ghost of TWOshima with a Jin or Yuna story

I think it would be an awesome idea to create a character and you become the apprentice of Jin Sakai. Teaching you the way of the ghost. I've played the game four times through and I'm ready for what is next!

Just finished What a Beautiful game A Masterpiece

If there's a third sequel to the Ghost of Tsushima, i hope they made Jin and the Ghost Armor as one of the Mythic Tales

This game looks better then my future

I think It would be cool if he was a leader of his own group of ghost ronin

The Mongol invasion of Tsushima in the game is loosely based on historical events, the first invasion was 1274, the second was 1281 and they landed at both Tsushima and Iki once more, this time double the soldiers they split forces and also attempted to invade Nagato and Hakata but were driven away and had to retreat back to Iki. Just 7 years after the initial invasion of Tsushima Jin Sakai would once again be forced to defend both Tsushima and Iki and possibly the other 2 islands in fictional theory of how the sequel may play out but Tsushima and Iki will very much still be a large part of the second game. Jin is almost certainly still the protagonist at the point of the second invasion.

Firstly, I'd say that the second game absolutely have to cover the second Mongol invasion. Only this time, the Mongols invade with such overwhelming force that Jin simply has to escape and retreat to the mainland. This would be a great tutorial level where Jin demonstrates the height of his abilities and tools before being forced to retreat and losing most of his arsenal. Unfortunately, although Jin should make it to mainland Japan, exploring Kyoto shouldn't be a part of the game, since the Mongols historically never made it that far. I'd say Fukuoka and the area surrounding Hakata Bay should be new enough to satisfy the sequel expansion itch. Secondly is the overall arc of the second game. With Jin's abilities, resourcefulness and cunning, he is undoubtedly a dangerous man. However, he is just one man. So this time, Jin has to recruit other citizens to join him in his Ghost-shinobi tactics. That should be the main bulk of the game, recruiting and training new Ghosts to retake Tsushima. Thirdly is Jin's character arc and relationships. Personally, I don't think any of the older companions of Jin Sakai should live long enough to see the second invasion of Tsushima. Lady Masako definitely has nothing to live for and will pass away during the seven years. Same for Lord Shimura should Jin spare him. Sensei Ishikawa, while not as old, would have lost his edge as a warrior during the time skip. That only leaves Yuna, Norio, Kenji... and Tomoe. For me, Tomoe has not done enough during the final mission to earn redemption. But you know what would? If Tomoe took her Sensei's teachings and help retake Tsushima with them. Lastly is Jin's own character arc. All the Tales of Jin's companions were warnings on what could happen if Jin allows the Ghost to take over his life, especially Norio's. However, knowing is one thing, doing is another. The entirety of Jin's personal arc should be finding balance between himself and the Ghost, kinda like how Bruce Wayne struggles to find himself within Batman. Only in Jin's case, he should reach a definitive conclusion since the Mongols will never try again after that. As for Jin's ending, it will never be a completely happy ending, since classical samurai films hardly ends happily, but I do wish that he gets a bittersweet ending with a slight weightage towards sweet since Jin would have definitely earned his rest after thwarting a second Mongol invasion.

I’m pretty sure they made sparing shimura canon. Which I don’t get since it would have been easy enough to write dialogue to fit both endings or have shimura be killed by the shogun for his failure. Or even give us an option at the beginning of the game asking us if we killed or spared him and have some dialogue be different.

From what I've heard, Ghost of Tsushima (2) will be called The Ghost of Kamakura, but that definitely could change, I hope it doesn't though lol.

I’d like to see Jin and Yuna have a romance story although I don’t think it would be essential. They have such great chemistry already so I think people would be on board with it. I think regardless of what ending you chose Lord Shimura dies because if he wasn’t able to kill Jin and was spared the Shogun would probably execute him or he might kill himself since he has nothing left in his life. I’d like to see Jin deal with the consequences of his decision to be the Ghost. He should be hunted by the samurai under the Shoguns orders. Jin could also found or help found the Shinobi since the Ghost is similar to how the Shinobi operate. He could mentor someone but still have him be the main protagonist. If there’s a significant enough time jump the person he’s mentoring could even be his son/daughter. The main conflict for Jin could be over being scared if he will fail his son/daughter in the same way Shimura failed him along with being scared off becoming as ruthless and cold as his father Kazumasa. People in the mainland could also be scared of Jin which could add a further burden to his character and part of his arc could be realising he doesn’t need the peoples approval to be the Ghost he just needs his own. I hope Jin doesn’t die at all in the games. Anything’s possible with how The Last Of Us 2 went but I think Sucker Punch are smart enough to realise it’s not a good idea to kill off Jin. I hope we get an announcement for a sequel soon and I will probably love it as much as the original. Jin Sakai Forever ❤️

Ghost of Tsushima: ending of Jin’s story as samurai The sequel: starting of Jin’s story as a shinobi/ninja

I disagree that Lord Shimura would have no place in the sequel if he's still alive. Even if the Shogun gave up on the possibility of Shimura hunting down his nephew, if Shimura is still alive he'd likely be dead set on killing Jin Sakai, as his honor was damaged by his nephew betraying their ideals, and then Jin refusing to kill him, and we all know how much Shimiura cares about his honor. I think there's some interesting storytelling possibilities that could be brought from that.

You know what would be cool is if Shimura actually joins Jin. Same way Masako and Ishikawa changed due to something happening. Like if the Shogun wrongfully blame him or something

If our ghost is to become shogun, military ruler of all Japan...

i focused to main story gameplay until ending, when i want to play side quest i don`t know why the gameplay feel empty for me after ending. (soory my bad english)

I think Jin's Uncle Lord Shimura will commit 'Seppuku' (honorable act of killing himself after Jin spares him - which is dishonorable) So, mostly, in the event of a sequel, I don't think Lord Shimura will play any role.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vCTsqr17f2w.html at 28:45 the creative director for GoT says that the true ending is jin sparing shimura

Jin and Yuna both need a followup. I think it would be cool for them to create their own Nina order. It would line up well with the timeframe.

Sucker Punch may have not said which ending is canon, however there is some in-game dialog that suggests that Killing Lord Shimura is the canon ending. If you decided to save him, some NPC's would say to Jin that they are sorry for his Uncle's death. After you picked saving him. Same goes for Killing him, they will say the same thing, that they are sorry for his loss.

2:15 Jin has honor, just not Shimura's version of it. It's not GTA he never hurts innocents, also come to think of it, no one except Shimura ever complains to him, nor really talks about it, you'd think Masako and sensei Ishikawa would have the same stance but no

What an insane thumbnail bro

Just got the grappling hook and I've not been excited to play a game in a long time

i would love to see Jin train a hole army of shinobi to help and protect in the way the samurai are suppose to I think be interesting to see his uncle to fully hunting him down as he is so embarrassed and angry after he lost and then was spared by Jin

i want it to become a Battle Realms sequel fight against Wolf Clan and Lottos clan plus Zombies it would be a great Game

honestly i wish they would start the game off at the end of the first giving u the chose to spare or kill and the story going from there ik its alot to ask for but it would be so cool

I need a sequal and he should travel in main land japan to defeat mongal invasion ❤ as Ghost Of Japan jin deserve a sequel

Nah it should be called Ghost of Tsushima witb the 2 mixed with the H cause then they could have a sick title drop in a quest where someone is scared or talks to the shogun and then the shogun or a new mongol leader like khan ask who is it and the other guy says with fear in his voice it the ghost of tsushima.

the name would still make sense, considering hes from tsushima

great thumbnail

Finale gon be Ghost of Saitama where Jin becomes bald and gain constant ghost stance.

The main thing that always bothered me about this game is how Lord Shimura intepretes “honor”. How is it dishonorable to kill enemies using stealth. A warrior uses every tool he has to win. That is honor…

Jin Sakai has the potential to be an iconic video game character

What I would love in the GOT sequel: 1. Flesh out the Jin & Yuna romance. The first game had no room for it (understandably) but the second game SHOULD explore it 2. Forget mongols, clash Jin against the corrupt shoguns. That way, we'll also get a bit more of lord Shimura 3. Someone here mentioned Jin becoming the first ninja, that'll be damn interesting too :)

I would like to see Jin as old, like Ezio

I don’t know, maybe. I feel like his story was wrapped up well. Spare uncle!

The most important thing to me In AC shadows is the modern day continuation I want to know what will Basim do

Just putting it out there this game was awesome! And it would be fun if they made something like this in a European medieval style too 🧐

Ghost of Japan would be something

Spare ending is canon confirmed

Yes you are definitely right Jin deserves a sequel, there’s so much Jin Sakai can still do like we can finally go to Japan and see all the legendary samurai clans out there and even meet the Shogun who knows🤷🏾‍♂️🔥

I saw a poll of who is the better protagonist Arthur Morgan, Jin Sakai, or Kratos. Others mentioned Ezio and I feel Commander Sheppard belongs there as well. I didnt play all Assassins Creed Games. But Jin is the one guy who gave up everything to defeat the Mongols and save his people. Gave his life and reputation. Meanwhile knowing hed be branded as a traitor.

I think Jin’s story should end with him settling down, taking sensei ishikawa’s advice.

I wish the name of the IP was ''Ghost of'' instead of ''Ghost of Tsushima''. We need an AC competitor. Instead of assassin vs templar conflict common tread could've been war-time setting and a ''ghost'' rising up against invaders.

jin and yuna have a son and move to west to jeju do island, jin dies , play as the son, cycle repeats

I am not sure if I wanted an sequel to Ghost Of Tsushima, I mean I really wanted more of Jin Sakai adventures but I fear of the game is only going to be on PS5, I be mad cause I watch Ghost Of Tsushima II to be on PS4 as well.

Also I think the sequel shouldn’t be on the 2nd mongol invasion in Tsushima because then it would essentially be the exact same map.

I have this fever dream that in the sequel they will lean heavily into the "First Shinobi" narrative that gamers collectively adopted for this character. As people of Tsushima support his way of fighting mongols many join him and the sequel starts out with Jin having a hidden base where he trains the first generation of shinobi warriors in preparation for the second mongol invasion, as he knows he cannot depend on samurai way of fighting. Kind of like in Dragon Age (I don't remember which part, 1 or 2) You have Your own base and troops / allies that You can upgrade and develop that then have an impact on the gameplay (even a little bit). Him still being a solo badass but having his own Shinobi dojo would be really cool and play well into the ninja power fantasy I think :D One can dream.

The 2nd game bout to be so beautiful bro 😭😭

You’re forgetting Ikki Island DLC

Honestly if I never got a sequel I’d be fine. And it doesn’t make sense to call it that if Tsushima if Jin ain’t the main character. So it’d probably be something else.

Thank you very much.

I hope Sony starts releasing PC ports sooner. Because Ghost Of Tsushima is so beautiful on PC. Having Ghost of Tsushima 2 on PC like a few months after would be so good

New character is fine. Maybe the second game could take place with the second invasion of the Mongol and Jin will be teaching a new ghost

Instead of Ghost of Tsushima 2, why not Ghost of Kyoto, Ghost of Iwojima, or other Ghost during other historical event?. That will be dope

He really does. Got was such such such a good game🔥

The best samurai game ever

Question do guys think since this is a sucker punch game. Do you think it be cool if Jin was the first potential conduit. Would explain his incredible physical abilities. For those who aren't familiar with Infamous lore. Potential conduits are people who have the conduit gene but do not have their dormant powers activate. Potential conduits however are more physical better than normal humans. Specifically when it comes to durability, pain tolerance and healing. Which all match with Jin. Jin "resolved" in a game for example.

i will watch it later when i have completed the game

It would be cool wend ask about his uncle he said that he dont whant to talk about it so ppl can continue with whatever ending they chosse

The problem with reusing the same main character is, what happens to all his skills and kit? Does he have them to start with, or does he have to lean them all again (or learn new ones)? I just finished the main storyline on PC, and Jin almost has too many options for killing his foes, but I'd feel robbed if I had to learn them all again, yet a big part of the game is getting those skills. Better, if there's to be a sequel, to have his son (with Yuna?) or nephew take over the role of Ghost, or maybe his daughter?

I'm intrigued with the post mongol invasion story.

My thoughts for a trilogy are… The second game would focus more on the legend of the ghost and how his story spread. And the third would focus on either the Ghost’s legacy or him passing the way and title of the Ghost onto a student, maybe a small dlc where we play as that student later.

Love your video

those rare times when you 100% agree with a video

I realise that the more times I play Ghost of Tsushima, the more I think he’s my favourite playstation Character
