I can't believe it's over - Ghost of Tsushima [ENDING] 

It's interesting that it ties right back to the start of the game. When Jin was learning to fight from his uncle and his uncle asks him what he thinks the most important part of being a samurai is and young Jin says it's protecting people while his uncle says it's acting with honour.

Shimura’s obsession with honor puts Zuko to shame.

Jin Sakai will be remembered as probably the most noble video game character ever.

Evelien, thank you so much. Even though you completed Ghost of Tsushima months ago and I'm here watching the playlist afterwards, I am so glad I took the time to experience this game and that I had the privilege to watch you play it. It was an incredible journey into Jin's experience and I wouldn't have wanted to watch anyone else play it but you.

Why is he running?" "Because we have to chase him" "Why? He didn't do anything wrong" "Because he's the hero Tsushima deserves. But not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not a Samurai. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector, the Ghost of Tsushima"

His uncle wasn't a bad guy, he just can't live without honor, as sakai said, he was slave of it.

I had to put my controller down for 10 minutes when the final fight began. I couldnt contain my emotions. What an amazing game.

To quote The Princess Bride: "Now that it's over, I don't know what to do with the rest of my life."

I just want to say that, hands down, you are the best streamer/RU-vid gaming channel I've seen. The best. I started to watch your content because of Fatal Frame 5 since you were the only person playing the game that could translate and also give great commentary. I've seen several of your gameplays multiple times, you are such a pro. Seriously, you do a great job. You are a good player, you show respect for the pieces but are also critical of them. I respect you so much for your empathy and optimistic personality. Also, you hair is so pretty. (you are very pretty overall but your hair is especially pretty). Yeah, that's it, that's all. Thank you for the content. ❤️

This ending floored me. I’ve never had a game make me hesitate so much. I didn’t even want them to give me back control for that duel. I deflected and parried for over a minute because I didn’t want to strike him. My girlfriend looked over at me wondering why I wasn’t attacking and seeing me with tears down my face. His smile as he said “You were my son” and his tears while writing his words. For Samurai, emotions must be controlled but even he couldn’t hold it back. I chose to spare but loaded a save just before to see kill and it is far more gut wrenching. I would highly recommend you RU-vid the alternate choice Gab. The music and scenery, that final duel will stay with me for a long time.

I think, that Jin could still marry Yuna, even if he still was Samurai, because Japan didn't have fixed cast system until Toyotomi Hideyoshi came to power. He, ironically, went from peasant to Shogun during Sengoku Jidai and then made this journey impossible to everyone else. Till then people could move through the social layers, but after his rule and during Tokugawa Shogunate, peasants were peasants, samurai were samurai, etc. Since story of this game is around 300 years before Toyotomi's rise to power, I see no bigger problem with this marrige.

That final scene was quite possibly one of the most beautifully animated scenes I've seen. 💜

This game is a masterpiece, simple and absolutely a work of art. 10/10

To me Jin's story reminds me much of Joan of Arc's. A mythical person on the battlefield who could change the tied of any out numbered fight. Who was persecuted in the end for what they did, because of the fear they stoked in those above them. The only solution the top ranking officials had, their death (for both Joan and Jin). Just how it was back in olden times, kill whatever you can't explain or control.

我が師父と 会い願わざる 天命に 今日を限りに 消え果つるとは the first sentence of haiku "eyes on pain" was bit different in jp subtitle. jp subtitle was like "I never thought I would be separated from my father in this world by a fate I didn't wish for."

It's been such a ride watching your gameplay, Gab! You're the only one who I could watch play this whole game because of your great personality and much appreciated insight into the Japanese language and some cultural aspects of the game! Awesome job!

I’m excited you commented on the whole “last words of clan Sakai, AND clan Shimura” moment. This small detail broke my heart the first time around because I felt it really drove home how much Shimura loved Jin. While they were riding earlier, Jin says to Shimura, “you can always remarry” and Shimura responds, “yes, I suppose I can”. Just from the way he says this, I could tell that Shimura has no real intention of doing so. Starting a new family and naming a new successor is what is expected of him, but Shimura knows that even if he kills Jin, he will never recover. In Shimura’s eyes, regardless of what Jin has done, Jin will always be his son. If Shimura fulfills the Shogun’s orders and kills Jin, there will be no new successor to clan Shimura.

Ilan Eshkeri the composer wanted the music before the fight to be dramatic. He said in an interview he wants players to lose fighting Shimura for the first time because of crying. and damn he did it.

The legendary Ghost of Tsushima. They say his thirst for vengeance was all the armor he needed on the battlefield. Real talk though, I'd be scared as shit if i saw a dude in a headband, monkey mask, and nearly butt ass naked just zooming through the battle field covered in blood. Cutting through people like they were made out of paper lol

Sparing him and saying "fuck it" to tradition is the most cannon thing you can do for his character.

I couldn't bear not to honor him the way he asked at the end. I did like both endings though.

I cried at the end too. Great stream, wonderful first visit to your channel. Thank you.

This whole time I've been thinking, man, Khan looks a lot like the hun from Night at the Museum. Then I found out they're the same actors 🤦🏻‍♀️

this game is so beautiful. I think I'm too heartbroken to watch the DLC yet but it was so so nice watching you play, especially because I've been wondering about this game but couldn't play it. I love your playthrus because you really do take the time to experience the whole thing... so thank you :)

Amazing playthrough, and amazing game. One of the few streamers that didn't rush through the game and did the side quests and got the special sword moves. The "Kill" option was indeed to me the better choice, Uncle dies by your hand and probably not suffer worst for failing The Shogun, or commit Harakiri. Plus the white Ghost outfit as the reward.

Is it just me, or was his Uncle's final expression showing a sign of admiration for him, despite their differences? The story was far better than I thought it would be. Great characters with a lot of shades.

I love you for weeping, Evelien. Such a powerful, beautiful, heart-rending story so true to the principles of Bushido. Who wouldn't be moved to tears? Thank you for playing Ghost of Tsushima and sharing your thoughts and feelings about it. It's definitely my game of the year for 2020.🌸

If you had chosen the “kill” option you would’ve cried for two days. Good thing then 🤣

I remember you mentioned that you wanted a bonsai tree. There’s actually a bonsai nursery in the UK called Herons Bonsai Nursery. They ship all over the UK. Also they have a RU-vid channel of the name Herons Bonsai. Peter Chan is the owner/founder. His videos are really cool.

I love these videos, your commentary is just perfect

You are, by far, my favorite gamer on RU-vid. Yours is the only gaming channel I watch, in fact. It’s been so much fun watching you play through Ghost of Tsushima.

This was the best play through I’ve seen of this game. Congrats Evelien, and I’m glad that you loved this game

i cant believe i am watching this 30 seconds after the upload i love this series,keep up the great work

このゲームを日本語音声でプレイして頂いて私も嬉しく思います。Gabさんはとても日本語の発音がよく、特に iiko-da-kaze ”いい子だ風” この発音がとても綺麗でした。そしてこのゲームのラストは感動しました ありがとうございました。 I am glad that you played this game in Japanese. Gab has a very good pronunciation in Japanese, especially iiko-da-kaze. This pronunciation was very beautiful. The last of this game was impressed Thank you Gab!

Glad I wasn’t the only one crying my eyes out. What a game, what an experience. ❤️

I think the Japanese spirit was hard to understand, but thank you for playing this game to the end. 心より感謝をこめて。

Hey Gab, just wanted to say a big Thank You for this amazing series (started watching it in the summer, then stopped because life happened, and started watching it again this Holiday season). I really liked how you played it, thanks for showing us, well, everything :) As always, your input into the Japanese culture and language are super interesting and much appreciated. Also, this game made you cry 3 times : I just finished playing The Last of US Part 2 yesterday, and I teared up twice, thats a first for me while playing a game ^^ Now I'm gonna find another series to watch on your channel. Cheers!

I love that you take the time to hit every question mark on the map. This is one of the first open world games (and I've played a lot) that I didn't want to end so I'm going back and trying to 100% it myself!

Wow. This was a experience. Normally I’m not into long videos cause my concentration is easily broken... but every video I’ve watched, I felt like it was over so quickly but then to realize it was over 2 or 3 hours already. I reaaaally enjoyed your play style with this game and the way you explained some things here and there. I totally fell in love with this game with the start, but you definitely made me appreciate it more. I’m thinking of buying the game myself and trying it out, even though I suck at controls with a lot of button options (like the stances and all the choices) I have so many things I want to say but can’t really expres well right now haha, but I want to thank you for this amazing, calming but fun experience 😊

I love when a game can make you feel for the characters and story. It shows how good it is. I cried so many time in Detroit Become Human. And I loved it.

Sucker Punch did the ending so perfectly. It was so incredibly powerful (even more powerful if you choose to honor his wish). The music, visuals, everything. On my first playthrough, I chose to kill him. I made him suffer enough, and I felt I owed him an act of honor after everything. It wasn't just about killing or sparing, but about how Shimura himself felt. That was the basis behind my decision. And I'm glad I did, because I got to use the white dye for the Ghost Armor in my NG+ playthrough, and use the hell out of it in Act III to really blend in with the snow. It's also better than the red, imo. But you could argue that sparing him completes Jin's character as someone who does what his heart tells him, instead of being concerned about honor all the time. Still, I couldn't bring myself to leave him hanging like that. But I did choose to spare in my NG+ playthrough (that I just completed), so that I could get the red dye. Honestly a little salty that choosing to honor his wish gives you a lightning storm in the middle of nowhere (though next to a hot spring) in Toyotama, whereas sparing him gives you such beautiful scenery closer to your home and next to the Omi Monastery.

I had to choose the same, I couldn’t kill him never for all the things they lived... this game is just a Masterpiece !!!!!!!!

Gab: I can't believe it's over now. What should we do? Me: PLAY IT AGAIN. FROM THE START Seriously though, this was such a really amazing game! A beautifully written story with gorgeous visuals. And Gab's playthrough just hits the jackpot with her insights and appreciation for the Japanese culture. I can't believe it's really over. Probably gonna rewatch the whole playthrough hahahah

A beautiful reaction to a beautiful game! Tsushima hit me in the feels too. Wasn't expecting it would going in, but always hope games will. FF7 remake was another one that did as well.

watched this on stream the other day and watching it again here. its one of those games that you can watch over and over again

Bro she had to fight the final boss while crying her eyes out. The poor thing lmao

As sad as it is. A Samurai lives and dies by the sword. Death before dishonour. There’s no right nor wrong decision in this end. But I honestly believe granting a Samurai’s death made more sense into the final ending and complemented the final haiku.

This game touched my heart, it touched my very soul. Oh how beautiful the story progression was and the character development. The music was perfect, the composer really knew what he was doing, everything felt like it was on point. Ghost of Tsushima was one of the most beautiful game I've played in 2020 and it struck me in the feels so many times both good and bad. Big thanks to Sucker Punch Studios and everyone that was involved in this game, you really did something special. Thank you Gab for an amazing streaming journey.

Have been watching this with you since the beginning, finally got to see the ending and cried along with you lol. Such a beautiful game, gutted it’s over.

Been checking for this upload literally every day. 😁 I made a concerted effort not to watch other playthroughs. Wanted to finish the story with your commentary.

I've waited over 5 years for this game, since I've seen the first concept art of some areas back then. I'm so grateful that I was alive in this era to play this masterpiece. Life sucks, but this game was a great time to be alive. I also couldn't kill Shimura. Jin is an undying legend. The ghost will live on! Taka best boy!!! ｡･ﾟﾟ*(>д

Thank you for sharing your view on this beautiful game, It was a thrill from start to end. Thanks to you, the days are more easy to bear in this difficult time^^,

This game is just pure perfection! So emotional, beautiful scenery, amazing soundtrack, easy to play. It was a great surprise to me and I'm glad they did this game.

Just finished binge watching your series on this and your reactions throughout this game pulled me right along side of you, even though I had finished this game, probably close to the same time you did. I cried right with you during all the heart felt scenes! I've watched a few play-throughs of this game now and I would have to say, yours was the best. Mainly because of your empathetic reactions and the insight you gave throughout towards the Japanese voice acting and dialog. The game was designed to be played in English, (lip syncing was done for English dialog), and I'd suggest for English speaking people they should play it in English first. Not because the English voice acting is any better than the Japanese, they are on equal footing, in my opinion. I actually started playing this with subtitles and Japanese VA, because I'm a die-hard subtitle fan when watching movies and such, but right in the first battle I was missing subtitles because I was concentrating solely on gameplay. I quickly restarted and played the English version. The main reason you should consider playing this in English first, if you don't understand Japanese, is you do miss things if you play with subtitles and Japanese VA. Throughout the game the NPC bystanders develop feelings for the Ghost and his methods and if you walk slowly through villages, camps and Pagodas, you hear them speaking and get a feeling of how the public feels about you, which is a really nice touch. You do not get this if you don't understand Japanese, because the game doesn't subtitle the background conversations. The other reason is, there are moments in this game where the dialog continues through the thick of battle and, once again if you don't understand Japanese, you can miss key elements or suggestions from your compatriots in the game. I watched someone playing this with subtitles once and they missed key info during a battle and were thoroughly confused as to what to do next afterwards, even though the characters around them had mentioned what they should do, simply because the player missed the subtitles during the battle. This was definitely my 2020 GOTY. 🥰

What a beginning, killing only in pants HA HA HA!!! Anyway, I saw the stream at the weekend. It was great but it was very hard for me to see you crying again Gab and I had tears in my eyes too again. But I thank you that you choosed NOT to kill him. It was so emotional in this moment. Thank you for upload here on YT and my thumbs up for you. I am a little sad that I have not the time to join your streams actually.

Thanks for posting your playthrough. I’ve been playing a bit and then tuning into your videos to see how you went about completing the same missions. Your commentaries were always entertaining. お疲れ様でした！

The four horsemen of making you cry: Ghost of Tsushima Red Dead Redemption 2 Halo: Reach The Walking Dead

the sad thing is that lord shimura never refers to the ghost in such a way that it would sound that he isn't talking about jin. for example he says "the ghost will be hunted for the rest of his days" instead of "you will be hunted for the rest of your days". it really shows how shimura doesn't want to believe that his nephew and the ghost are the same person

These damn PlayStation games and their emotional stories!!!

We should call him "bootyman" And his horse, "Bootycall".

I love your attention to detail. I've watched loads of gamers play that last scene like Hollow or myself, definitely see things under a different perspective with you. Subscribed.

Thank you for playing this game and sharing it with us! Not being able to play it myself i really enjoyed your gamethrough and what made it more enjoyable is u knowing japanese and correcting all the subs and somehow teaching us some new words and sharing ur knowledge about the culture as well. I've spent the last few days watching all your streams for this game and nothing else lol, so thank you for this amazing & enjoyable experience ❤

1:54:01 Can you imagine a fictional scene in Star Wars TFA where Kylo Ren would face Luke due to differences in their beliefs and the slow orchestral them of Luke started playing?

Thank you gab for completing this game and this ending was emotions but I have already seen the other ending and it's really sad :( - Lots of love from Malaysia ❤️

I'm glad you had an incredible rollercoaster of emotions heck of a time playing this game! Looking forward to more content from you Gabs! Have a good one!

I really love Jin and Yuna's relationship. Im only halfway through, but I hope they have a happy ending together. Edit: well im bawling like a baby. 😅

Omg your reactions are just natural and pure gold

it has been such a pleasure to watch you play this beautiful game, evelyn. thank you for showing so much care and compassion for this these characters and the story they had to tell.

I know you said you didnt want to cry during the farewell scene. But the fact you immerse yourself so much into a game and reflect so much emotion throughout is why i watch you so often.

When you can't help but cry , you know that the game is a masterpiece, this such wholesome experience your playthroughs of this game I thoroughly enjoyed it, honestly this is probably just one of the best games I've ever played, it invoked such a special interaction between player and game, thanks gab, also that last haiku was everything

Yes, Jin and Yuna truly are in love. But just is a super hard time to fall in love :( In Khan's and Jin's final fight. The bad thing is, the Khan dynasty has been remembered for centuries on end (well bad and good. They taught us much about war, culture and more, even if they were pretty brutal) Jin and Uncle's fight made me pretty dang sad tbh :( cried at the start of it. If there is a sequel to this game, I hope it follows Tomoe actually, as a female warrior fighting back against armies and escaping from authorities

I don't often get to make it to your streams, but I really enjoyed getting to watch your Skyrim content here on RU-vid after! I really hope you bring it back

The last fight is so emotional. I also really liked (and can recommend to check out) gamer's little playground game movie. Because they are not as strong as Gab-Jin, Jin keeps saying several times "Please, let me go in peace" and when I saw that, how he kept pleading to his uncle, because he really doesn't wanna fight him, it just hit me so hard. GLP has also JP dub or EN. But what an amazing series! Glad to have experienced it with u 😊🙏🏻 Thank you!

the kill option is a perfect ending too even when its hard to kill him but it fits more the tone of the game, great lets play

Cried so hard at the end, if not more than the first time I saw it.. So intense and emotional.. Also at 02:07:02, the tattoo you wish for to represent Lady Masako's clan isn't this one. The maroon banner is Lady Hana's clan haha. The Adachi clan's symbol also has ginkgo's leaves but it's more symmetrical and it's the blue banner! 01:31:49 Sword went bye-bye

1:16:16 this was the point when chat started screaming KISS! KISS! KISSSSSS!! and honestly i really wish they had

The other ending is also heartbreaking, but l feel it has more emotional weight

I feel that the English dub of this last part of the game was phenomenal. You can just feel the sadness from Lord Shimura when he says he has to kill Jin with that voice acting. I was hoping you would pick the kill ending. That ending is a lot more sadder because of what Shimura says to Jin before dying.

Lol, I was watching the stream when you jumped at the spider in your room. Was it one of those nasty big house spiders you get every autumn in the UK? Damn things are the bane of my existence this time of year. A pity this has come to an end. This has been one of my favourite playthroughs on the channel.

So I finished the game 2 days after its release, like 100%(yes I played all day long) and now theres new armors and stuff new cosmetics to unlock and a new Co-op mode and I can't have this things because I have finished the game 100% as I said and I get bored of just wondering around with no enemies despite its gorgeous environments, but I am very glad I saw you play it and finish it cause I couldn't get enough of the game and it satisfied me to see it once again with your commentery on it!!!

I'm so happy I watched your playthrough of this game from the beginning. I enjoyed the thoroughness (cause I love getting 100% on things when I can too lol) and the mini japanese lessons! ^_^ I don't have a PS4, but I've enjoyed the visuals of this beautiful game as you took the time to look around. Thank you and I look forward to watching more of your videos in the future. :)

I've followed your entire gameplay, Gab. You're awesome and I love how genuine you are. Thank you 💛

I have just finished the game and cried. Then I wanted to see you're ending and reaction and I cried again haha! I really lived this game. Strongly.

"I have no honor." But I have all the love in the world for my people, my home, my family. I became the Ghost, a creature not of honor, but of justice and I would do it all again for the peace and lives of everyone.

i really enjoy watching you play and react to this games to this stories even if it's some times sad. thank you for sharing with us.

The last sequence is very heart moving story. But actually say, that was little bit fantasy impression. If Jin Sakai still have way of Bu-shi heart, he will choose suicide by his own blade even after losing Bu-shi status. Maybe he didn't abandon his honor, but just choose different way from traditional of Bu-shi. Unfortunately, some Japanese language in this game didn't translate precisely, but most of it described Kamakura age of Japan nicely. (^^);

This game was perfection. I beat it in 2020 as well, but here I am watching the ending again.

Awww seeing Gab cry like that... 😭😭 Wanted to give her a bear hug

I stumbled onto your channel a month ago and have been following (and enjoying) your gameplay on Ghost of Tsushima. Seeing an almost naked and barefoot Jin in the snow had me laughing constantly!

Tsushima全部観ました。Gabさんの話し方、声が聞き取りやすく心地いいです。 日本語の発音も綺麗ですね。とても楽しかったです。

What a beautiful game. We have so much enjoyed playing through and watching your series alongside, we were able to pick up on some different things we missed in either of our runs. And seeing you as the awesome sharpshooter was so cool 😁 Thank you for sharing this emotional journey with us, I think this must be my game of the year!! ✨

the other ending is more dignified and more emotional ... the other ending reacts

your reaction at the end of the final fight was nice, was a superb ending to the story! Hope there is a sequel on PS5!

Story wise it’s the best game I ever played. Even rewatching it multiple times through youtubers it doesn’t get old.

Was such a nice game. I just started following you since tlou2, but I really enjoy your play style and comments in between. Already checked some of your older playthroughs. Really like the indie horror games you are playing. Have you played eternal darkness or horizon zero dawn?

OMG! I was bawling my eyes out too at the end. I also couldn't kill him. This is my GOTY this year., A game of the generation even.

This game is a masterpiece. I bought it because I heard good things of it and that we were a samurai on a horse in an open world game.. But jesus it was so much more than just that. Damnit how dare some people say games are just for children, made to have fun... Games are art, that's all. And this one is one of the greatest of all.

Ah damn, I was expecting that you would react to both endings. I really like the ending were you kill Shimura, it’s more emotional in my opinion.

Great job gab you have very great Commentary and keep up the good work on video's🤗👍👍

I just beat the game today, so now I can finally watch your video! Won't be able to watch the full video in one sitting, so here are my comments so far: At the beginning of the game, I chose the gray dappled horse and named him "Sora". Was devastated to lose him, as you were with Kage. When I got the opportunity to get a new horse, I went for white and chose the name "Kaze". Sora and kaze, sky and wind. Felt perfect to me.
