“Look at your general! run! Or this will be your fate!”
“People of Yarikawa, hunt every Mongol to the last man. Spare no one!”
FOR YARIKAWA!
FOR THE GHOST!!! YARIKAWA!
FOR YARIKAWA!!!
Flee cowards!
I like how after the battle, the mood of the entire game changes. You no longer feel hunted by the mongols or see the khan as an immovable object. Especially when you go into Act 3, you can feel that Jin is no longer a samurai, he's the entire clan.
that's so fucking true, there was such a shift in encounter after this point, i never felt on the defense like I did prior, I was dancing around them after yarikawa
I've just got to Act III tonight, omg I cried, grieving my horse. My Nobu 🐎💔😥
Yeah, before I was like "y'know what Khan? I'll liberate a few villages and them get to ya", but after THAT happened I was changed. I began burning those who'd run away. I had finally started to use my poison more, equipping both Yuriko's Keepsake charms for that chance that I could possibly extend the suffering of an enemy scum, and when I finally got to the Khan, I let out the rage of all of Tsushima in the flaming Ghost Stance, beheading him and forever pissing on his memory by letting the spoiled wannabe burn along with his pathetic empire.
@@itzmrinyy7484 SAME! After the bastards killed my horse and made me cry all night. I naturally found myself using flaming arrows, explosives, and poison a lot more often.
#ForYarikawa
Totally right!!! After this mission everything changed.
I've got my platinum and Damn whan an AMAZING GAME.
Starting second gameplay in kurosawa cinematics+lethal mode
"They say Lord Sakai survived the battlefield at Komoda Beach. But this is not true. Jin returned, but he was no longer 'Lord Sakai'. In his heart was vengeance, his sword the wrath of Hachiman himself. The Battle of Yarikawa was no battle. No... it was a massacre. It was there where Jin Sakai created the legendary Ghost Stance. Creating fear in his enemies, the Ghost Stance was said to be so deadly, those who mastered it could kill in a single strike. The Ghost of Tsushima was born that day, and on that day the Mongol Hordes knew the meaning of fear..."
I read it in Yamato's voice, good writing.
Thank you! I'm hoping to make writing a career someday and figured why not write a thingy about perhaps the best scene in the whole game.
This is bad ass bro...
If we got a second game about like the second mongol invasion where there was even more mongols I hope we play as someone else than Jin and we can find Yamato telling us of this legendary technique in that game
👏
There are so many incredibly good missions in this piece of art but we all agree that the Siege of Yarikawa is probably the most epic one.
Yes.
Just finished this part.... Game of the Year contender hands down.
I don’t know which is better: The siege of Yarikawa or The battle for Castle Shimura.
M1 Health Potion Imo the castle shimura battle. It was the first time in a while since I had started the game that I felt like a Samurai again. Really cool siege
You got that right
Jin creating his own legendary stance/attack.
Something for Yamato to tell travelers on the road about. Jin Sakai, the Ghost of Tsushima.
Hmmm... it can be taken both as an attack and a stance. An attack that give you the power to kill three people in one hit or a stance that use the enemy’s fear as a weapon. You use this stance and the enemy is immediately feared of you. They don’t even attack when it’s activated
The Stance of the Ghost, would be epic if at the End we discovered that was Yamato telling us the story for all the time. Just think that Jin story isn't real he is a fìctional character and Yamato is telling a Legend like another.....unless?
gives me the chills
I dubbed it the "BRUH" stance. It's so brutal people gets freaked out.
Yamato’s story time of the legendary ghost stance. GREATEST WARRIOR OF ALL TIME.....the end
At this point of the game, you can tell Jin wasn’t expecting people to believe in HIM. He was trying to rally people to the samurai’s side, to bring back the Shogun’s control. But Jin, through his selfless work throughout the island, gains the people’s support. His life becomes legend, his deeds become warnings to the Mongols, and his identity as the Ghost of Tsushima begins here.
because people don't believe in word, they trust the fact, and the fact is that The Ghost and the people of Yarikawa saved the city not the Shogun or Lord Shimura.
That hapen for the samurai code, that is for his... Rigidity and no samurai exept who die in that beach can see it.
Ghost Blaster Except a Yarikawa samurai literally asks you who tf you are when you sneak into Yarikawa and the clan Yarikawa still runs Yarikawa. He is literally called “samurai” in the subtitles.
@@khalidibnal-walid2929 yes but i think it was a fresh samurai not a veteran.
Rob Fus You don’t just magically become a samurai. Yarikawa probably didn’t help Shimura because they don’t even like Shimura. So what few samurai they did have probably were never at the beach.
It’s a waste of time talking to you people anyway. Most of you don’t even know the most famous “ninja” in Japanese history was a samurai named Hanzo Hattori. I’ve said it 8 million times and you’re all still running around chanting the slogan of a fictional character who didn’t exist.
Let the Samurai die in tradition and let the Ghost rise from disgrace
"Honor died on the Beach..."
"I have no honour but i will not kill my family"
@@Kishisuke ahh god, literally yesterday I picked the spare Shimura option. That stung like a viper but I couldn't bring myself to make Jin kill his only family left...
@@newchangeunlisted_viewer5594 yes.. Both endings hurt u so bad
But i choose spare option coz jin is not a monster who kills his own family to survive and also half the story we dedicated to save shimura and jin wont kill his family after all that he went through
Plus remember ishikawa sensei warned us about this early by saying "family is important jin and pls dont become like me or let the ghost consume u"
Its a hint about what jin would decide in the end
This story is about jin becoming the ghost
Only if u choose spare option he wears the ghost mask and fully turns into ghost and walks away
If u choose kill u r making jin follow the same old samurai customs he thought as not enough to save his ppl
He doesnt wear the mask either in that cutscene
And he killed his only family for his survival in a selfish and following honour path like a samurai
So spare is the right one if u ask me
Tho i made two saves when the choice appears to get the white outfit for ghost
I just keep those two saves
But my main save is spare option
And i got platinum in 4 days bcoz i was able to use the backup save to get some combat trophies which i cant do much once i liberate the whole island
Kis Kun well written 👌🏽thank you..
Crazy how Sucker Punch was making super hero games before this, but this is the first moment I truly felt like a hero in one of their games.
This game is gonna make history in 2020 and deserves honor
And this is the first moment i truly felt like a ghost
In infamous you were always someone special but in GOT you build your character from basically zero
Bro I never thought about it like that! I definitely agree with this!
Yeah the speech was SO INCREDIBLE. I feel some "critics" would fault this for "being too cliche" too "predictable" or "not innovative"
When in reality, I think that doesn't matter. Cause it was EXECUTED amazingly.
And also, Suckerpunch probably wanted it to feel like a "cliche" even though that word has a bad connotation.
Since this game was a love letter to the legendary "Kurosawa" samurai film.
I am Japanese. I am truly grateful to the overseas creators for making such a moving story. It was a wonderful performance! I captivated the hearts of Japanese people.
You don't know how much your comment means to us Thankyou!
Japan rules from America
Asian-American people:nnooooooo you must hate this game!!!!
@@fegeleinherman8587 haha that's what I'm thinking..lol logic
ありがとう！ Your comment means a lot to us in the west. We are so happy to know that the Japanese have embraced the story of Jin.
Man, I kept seeing people say "The Ghost of Yarikawa storyline is the best." and when I finally got to it, I was like, "I mean, this quest is pretty good, but I don't see what all the fuss is about." ...Then I got to THIS part. Hoooo boy. That was exhilarating. Bravo, Sucker Punch. Bravo.
Literally the moment I killed Temuge and Jin began rallying the people of Yarikawa to chase out the Mongols, my jaw dropped. There was just something so amazing rallying the people and counterattacking the fleeing Mongols, slicing them up and screaming at them to run.
@Shuajo X-The whole story mission made me super excited for what was going to happen, and that part, it was beautifully put together. *SUCKER PUNCH MADE A GAME OF THE YEAR WITH THAT STORY MISSION!!*
*HOO BOY*
Edit: lol I kept saying the same thing "bravo SuckerPunch, bravo.."
At the end of the game and after killing the khan
@@Killzoneguy117 I KNOW RIGHT?? oh my god I know the story is about Jin, but the game made me feel so immersed that I FELT like I was really there. Cheering with everyone, rallying, ready to free this town of the mongols. So epic.
The ending was better for me.
Jin: "Invaders, RUN or this will be your fate".
Mongols: *RUN*
Jin: "Hunt to the last one. Spare NO ONE".
Mongols: *confused screaming noise*
😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭
Ghost: "For yarikawa!"
Samurai: "FOR YARIKAWA!"
Peasant: "FOR YARIKAWA!.
Би хүүхдүүдтэй!!!!!!!!! ))」ТДТ))ノ
For Yarikawa!
Well he didn't say that he wouldn't kill them.
Can we all just take a moment to realize the whole massacre part was also a tutorial on the "Ghost stance." mechanic. I swear Sucker punch has found the best way to introduce a mechanic ever. Ghost of Tsushima is Game of the decade and for all the good reasons why.
I mean not to be the party pooper but a lot of games introduce new mechanics in a game the same way the ghost stance was introduced. it's a lot better to introduce a new game mechanic through the narrative than just telling you how to use it
@@gotworc Press X to Sean.
It's 2020 so it's not to hard to be one of the games of the decade xD It's a good game but there is many flaws imo
@@grandmac6557 Many flaws as in animations right? Cause that's really it haha.
@@Oogwayne Not exactly. The game is very repetitive (foxes, camps, lighthouses ...), too many objects to find, the AI is totally stupid, the side quests are basic and not very interesting (apart from a few), the stealth is average (too bad for a game called Ghost of Tsushima ...), the climbing is not great, the interiors are almost all the same (when you know Red dead or Ac Unity it's really disappointing), the story is good but it's not a crazy thing in my opinion, the physics of the game are ridiculous and apart from Jin I find the characters not very memorable. That's just my opinion of course.
For me the two real qualities of the game are the artistic direction and the sword fighting.
There was just something so beautiful about Sakai rallying the peasants of Yarikawa to rally and defend their homes themselves instead of relying on the Samurai to defend them. A true protector doesn't just stand for the people, he inspires the people to stand up for themselves.
Even the samurai archers of yarikawa were rooting for the ghost 🔥
You can also hear shoguns being mad about him doing that and that he is not a true samurai
Yeah, and if you think about it, Jin's definition of "honor" was to protect people who couldn't fight for themselves, to help those who cannot help themselves. And, in the end, that is exactly what he did. So, Jin never lost his "honor", it's just that he mended the code to protect his people.
@@cosmic2750 And yet...
Jin betrayed his Uncle and Shogun for the sole reason staying true to his own view of honor. I think Jin would understand at the end that the most important honor is one's own peception of it. Not a generalized conceptualization of it.
It's kinda interesting to think about
Nice 🫡
One of the most memorable video game moments I've had in a long time. Everything leading up to it was perfect. First you push from inside Yarikawa to the main gate but the mongols get in, then you sneak back inside to the Mongol leader and get the satisfaction of watching the mongols run away in fear of what you have become. Jin comes back from the dead as a defeated and inexperience warrior but in this moment he becomes the GHOST OF TSUSHIMA. What a badass.
don’t even remember the time i had this goosebump moment. i think the last was when i played the original god of war
bruh my nipples got hard reading this comment.
I remember Jin, after killing all of the Mongols by the catapults and burning them down, was just glaring at the Mongols that had broken through. And he just looked at them as if they just cattle waiting for slaughter, and the tone in his voice conveyed as much. You could tell that he was getting bloodthirsty at that point, and just barely holding it together. Upon beating the Mongol Commander and beheading him, Jin could no longer contain his bloodlust and fury, and the terror in the eyes and actions of the enemies only added to it in a way that gave me goosebumps (and that hasn't happened in a long, long time for me). Chasing the Mongols out of Yarikawa was an invigorating experience that I won't forget for a long time. Sucker Punch gave us a GOTY game, and its one of the best experiences I've had on the console.
@@BDL3035 Not GOTY
but GOTG Game Of The Generation.
Thileepan IR I write for a living since 2016 and this is the best compliment I’ve gotten to anything I wrote in 4 years. Thank you.
GHOST: Who killed these mongols? Who stood against their siege? Who saved Yarikawa?
TAKA: WE DID!
"You say you are not soldiers.......you are WARRIORS"
Ghost: WHO KILLED THESE MONGOLS!!??
Yarikawans: erm you did my lord??!

"Who drove the Mongols back?"

"You can't just hide and wait for the mongols to try again!"
@Saint Stalin I heard it was a storm sink thoose ships then small fast japaneese boats board remaning mongol ships and defeated them im one on one combat thats when samurai show their true power
@Saint Stalin Really? I read that in wiki
@Ethan S Ask to your mom
Does he say that they are soldiers but warriors because soldiers are people fighting for a government like samurai when people like Jin fight for their beliefs and own honour?
Mongols: Why do I hear boss music?...
Not boss music... Ghost music....
I think they know why lol
Yes this boss music alright
D-D-DOSHO
**sees a man slice 3 of your best men's heads off**
"Ohhh....
*shit.* RUNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!! H$LY F#$CK!?!?!"
This moment had me smiling like a fool. Can't remember the last time a game made me feel that way, said to myself "man, I'm going to remember this scene for a looooong time".
This is one of the few open world games in which every single main quest makes me feel like that
I just got the game and finished act 1 and the last time when I really enjoyed a game was in 2018 God of War since then I coudln't find a game which gave me as much fun as it did, but now after playing Ghost of Tsuhsims, I can say this is seriously one of the best games ever made anf a masterpiece
[Press SQUARE to Slaughter]
“I think Jin is probably pissed.”
[Screen turns red]
“Yup.”
“I think” the man be pissed
"I think" I'm with the mongols on this one. Jin is scary as shit late game, especially with the addition of poison.
This moment made me think of when Goku went Super Saiyan for the very first time in Dragonball Z. I had goosebumps the whole time on both occasions.
Mongol Empire: exists
Jin Sakai: *_PRESS ☐ TO SLAUGHTER_*
"RUN COWARDS"
This game really does show how one man with enough determination can change an entire country
hello doppio ily
He stood against and entire army of the mongols and reclaimed it back. And in doing so he instilled fear in the hearts of his enemies and gave hope to the people of his nation
Even Doppio likes Ghost of Tsushima
Diavolo is that you?
I am wholly confused by this comment are you saying change in real life like this can be possible? Cuz one man can and will never have enough power to do this.
The flute at the beginning represents Jin, the flute commonly being used in the game for his leitmotif, the ghost theme. As it builds, it's replaced by strings alongside drums and chanting, representing the people of Yarikawa rising up to join him in opposing the Mongol invasion. The track fuses into this powerful war chant as they drive back the Mongols. I'm not an expert on music or anything I just noticed this. This game's soundtrack is fucking awesome.
That's a great interpretation
Brilliant observation there. I noticed the change in tempo and instruments too, but didn't quite think of it the way you described it.
Your username for some reason perfectly fits your comment and would look conpletely normal if you inclided it in and I don't know why.
@@MarcoAdventures Thanks, good to know I truly live up to my name.
That's an awesome interpretation tbh, and now thinking about it, its true. Crazy how music can tell a story more than the story itself. In our era, it seems that music speaks louder than words.
The male chorus is old japanese war cry.
It's like this in this music
"Sei,Sei,Sei," oooh "Sei,Sei,Sei," oooh
"Sei,Docckoy,ooorei, Ha!!"
@BreadCrumbs You know what? If I'm being told to simp for Jin Sakai, then I will simp for Jin Sakai.
i don't like what google translated that to but oh well... its usually inaccurate
@@leadvendor The Simp of Tsushima
@@harrypike5140 The Simp of Yarikawa
I am a simp to but clearly that isn’t what simp means you can’t refer to a village that isn’t living as something you would easily follow as a simp and if it’s the people you are trying to follow then that really isn’t simping it’s called being a caring leader.
Actually this is an important scene, the peasant drove the mongol out not samurai, thats why the shogun need to quell this "uprising" , samurai had always been knights / lords but now peasant are the warrior and Jin is their inspiration..
What meaning of Shogun ....president or leader?
@@markocokmarkocok5270 In the old days, there was the Emperor and there was the Shogun (which basically means military dictator). The Emperor at the time only held nominal power (in name only) and the Shogun had all power.
@@milksteaven4559 thanks man...i though Shogun was regular samurai
Markocok Markocok A shogun is a samurai BUT also the leader. Samurai is a very umbrella term describing shogun down to daimyo and down to their retainers too. Anyone who follows the Bushido code is a samurai. But not all samurais are created equal.
@@markocokmarkocok5270 A Shogun is literally a military dictator.
Honor will keep me in the hearts of the innocent. Fear will keep me in the minds of the enemy internally
Therefore, the best thing is to be honorable to your allies and instill fear onto your enemies.
You really FEEL like you became the TERROR, you became a THREAT and striked FEAR when you slaughter the leader.
You felt like the Ghost of Yarikawa.
So, Jin is Batman?
Yes indeed. That's because even the mongols were not prepared to see such brutality from jin. They were already taken aback when jin defeated temuge but then when he slaughtered him, they were just scared to death
Cringe.
@@Bfd-pn9xq?
I found out about this game 2 weeks ago.
I watched zanny play it.
And damn right you are. I felt like the Ghost even if I just watched GAMEPLAY
Yuriko: Kazumasa used to say that Lord Shimura was... too concerned with that castle.
Jin: The strongest point on the island.
Yuriko: He equated strength with the huge, the immovable. Like a mountain.
Jin: He had a point. Doubt and indecision have destroyed armies. In the midst of battle, true leaders must stay rooted, stand firm.
Yuriko: But look at that waterfall. All that immovable rock yields to water. The strength we need is all around us.
I loved that part man
very nice point you put here the metaphor that the mountain will give way to thw waterfall that is the stance if Jin, the ghost.
@@rasyidkarim I think the metaphor is that one must learn to adapt in new situations. As water is always moving while a mountain stays still
"Siege of Yarikawa" Is going to be something I will never forget. Really wish this game would get a sequel of any kind in the future.
There where two mongol invasions of tsushima, so maaaaybe...
@@Sozillect It doesn't even have to do anything with Tsushima. It could be something else in feudal Japan. Japan's feudal history like sengoku jidai for example has a lot of war which you could easily make a story based on real events.

@@dgregory79 this made me laugh more than it should
Underrated comment
We need a Fire Stance to complete it but I guess the Way of the Flame will have to do.
Jin hesitated before slaughtering the mongol commander for a second, showing reluctance but he knows it had to be done to turn the battle around, small detail
I...
Did he?
He at least did not cut his head immediately.
I interpreted it as Jin not being fully aware at first at how much his presence and reputation as the ghost had affected the mongols but he senses potential in this moment that a new weapon in his arsenal to repel the invasion is at his fingertips so he toils around for a bit for this tugging of inspiration to reveal itself in the form of: The Ghost Stance
I see it as him slowly realizing that he's become an individual of legend, a person they'd tell tales about, and even though it means abandoning his code, by slaughtering the leader he fully embraces that identity.

"Funny that despite being mature, the game doesn't do dismemberment"
After this
"Smart choice, it makes Jin decapitating the general even more striking"
For real, usually from these kinds of games you’d expect the odd arm or leg to be cut of because well they are using katanas, but this point in the game basically shows that Jin basically turns off his limiter in a way
Ye, in ghost stance Jin goes pretty batshit, chopping arms legs and everything.
You can dismember limbs with the heavenly strike before getting to this part
@@dragonkamran didn't saw that happen in my playthrough sadly
from what i know, holding back your sword is a part of swordsmanship in ancient japan. so knowing that Jin just stopped limiting himself for the ghost stance really shows how powerful he is.
If there will ever be a ghost of tsushima 2, I really want to see Jin's ghost stance as a mythic quest.
Or maybe they will make him a series
@@TheGamerFlixtv that would not make much sense seeing as he completes his mission in tsushima, it'd be better for him to dissapear along with yuna and for their deeds and heroic abilites to become mythic quests in a new game
@@viiem2876 yeah true but what if yuna and jin had a son and jin disappeared in one of his missions and haven’t come in years and when the son grows up yuna his mom dies with the rest of the people in his village and her final words were to find your father find the ghost so he goes to search for jin and when he finds him jin teaches him the way of the ghost and then the son kills everyone who was involved with killing yuna and those that helped slaughter his village
That would be a cool sequel
Well the next mongol invasion happens not that long after the game's timeline.
_Fifteen years ago, a mongol army submerged Tsushima. The troops of the Khan overwhelmed the samurai at Komoda, killing almost all of them and capturing the Jito._
_But the kami Inari herself brought a young samurai back from the dead, Jito's nephew Jin Sakai, and guided him to avenge the people of Tsushima and protect their land._
_She gifted him an armor to strike fear in the hearts of the invaders. All across the island, mongol camps started disappearing one after the other. People talked of a Ghost, the shadow of a samurai, killing the soldiers from the darkness, terrorizing the ones spared by his blade. Pushed back by the fear of the Ghost, Khotun's army crumbled in weeks, and scattered when the Ghost took their leader's head._
_After the Ghost killed the Khan and saved Tsushima, he disappeared as suddenly as he rose. The legend claims he left his armor hidden in a secret shrine of Inari, to be taken by another Protector if the island is in dire need again._
_Only the worthy would be able to follow the foxes guarding the kami's gift, and wear the mantle of the Ghost once more_
~Legend Storyteller, Ghost of Tsushima 2
I love sucker punch for their original and innovative titles with a great story and really fun gameplay, and now they are back. They started the PS4 era with Infamous and are gonna end it with this masterpiece
Absolutely amazing it’s been awhile since a game has made me feel this way.
Finally a masterpiece of a game that is not like last of us 2 during 2020
Ghost of tsushima is a masterpiece
Last of Us 2 is a masterpiece in itself
Yeah I haven't felt this way since the "Art of Conversation" mission on Red Dead Redemption 2
@@bhida4820 it has lots of flaws though. It felt to me as if Neil Druckmann wanted the story to go a certain way, HIS way. And he was too narcissistic to see it any other. I mean two parts that really made no sense to me were two of the BIGGEST parts.
1.) The reason Joel died was because he walked into a dark house FULL of strangers UNARMED? Makes no sense for the character of Joel. He probably would have told Tommy to shut up and stop giving their names back in the snow when they saved Abby. It was just really lazy imo and disrespectful to the character of Joel.
2.) The second one for me was when Ellie went for Abby A SECOND TIME. It made absolutely no sense to me. I understand that Ellie has PTSD from what happened and but it just made no sense. Dina was pregnant in the first part but no baby bump, so that means there is a minimum of AT LEAST 9 months between the first Abby encounter and the 2nd one. But JJ has a full head of hair and is quite big so he's probably already 1 years old. That means that almost 2 years have passed. When Tommie comes in he tells her that Abby is all the way in another STATE. I mean, at that point I was done. I was already finished, cause I thought the farm scene was the end (I was kinda over the game at this point) Butttt nope. Gotta go after Abby. And I was kinda irritated that she just cut her down from the ropes. No words just a longg walk to the beach AND then Ellie starts a fight. I can understand that. I mean, from an honourable POV (although I was just kinda hoping Ellie would shoot Abby on the spot. Actually, now that I think of it it would have been great if we had the choice to shoot Abby on the pole or to spare her. The spare her could have given us some great dialogue but back to the point) BUT, after a very lengthy and honestly sickening fight (I didnt get any enjoyment out of watching a skinny woman with a hole in her side beating the shit out of another equally frail woman who I just cut down from a pole) she DOESNT EVEN KILL HER.
It just felt like all of that time, all of MY time. For nothing..
And tbh? I would have been okay with that. I WOULD have.
But Naughty dogs marketing campaign, was DISGUSTING. They straight up tricked me and EVERYONE else They literally took the time to swap out the older character models of Joel and Ellie. It was scummy af.
I would have been a lot more okay with the game if the trailers were actually truthful.
6/10 for me (due to the scummy marketing)
7.5/10 actually, maybe an 8/10 yeah. 8/10 because credit should be given where credit is due. The graphics? AMAZING. The scenery was just so beautiful and gave us a taste of next gen which I have to commend (also I'm a Washington boy lol) the blood in the snow, the character models, the facial animations, all were the best of the ps4 generation (graphicswise)
I mean so yeah that's basically it:
1.) Best Graphics of PS4 generation
2.)Extremely realistic sound design
3.) Combat system has many improvements over the first game's
4.) Story was very gritty and dark compared to other games. I feel TLOU2 didnt execute it well but I hope that it opens a lot of doors for other game studio's to try for more gritty and disturbing stories every once in a while.
I mean theres lots of more problems I had with TLOU2 but I've written A LOT already
As for Ghost if Tsushima? I'd say the only story telling fault (similar to TLOU2) was *SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER* when
Enfocnwocjrjwickrjrifjeeoxowneogk39fn
Taka died. It was basically Jin's fault for not telling Taka to go away in the first place. And honestly? this part screwed Yuna over. The only reason she saved Jin in the first place was so she and Taka could start new lives on the mainland. So yeah, that was a very "TLOU2" type of problem that Ghost of Tsushima had imo
That's about it tho
I put this entire mission up there with Kratos retrieving the Blades of Chaos in GOW4
Dunno, Blade of Chaos moment was dumb.
@@dragonkamran disagree
Also place it with the American Venom mission from RDR2
AtheismF7W of course, you’re not a fan and don’t know about the plot hole here.
Kaylor now that was fantastic
One of the most goosebump inducing moments in gaming history. The peasant soldiers yelling “for the ghost!” Was the moment I realized Jin Sakai was gone, and the ghost was now a legend amongst the people. The siege of Yarikawa was night that Jin died, and in his place a vengeful spirit was born.
No, Jin died in Komoda. What we always saw is the Ghost. And that Night his legend became famous amongst the ranks of the Mongol army.
Bro I just played this mission today, unlocking the Ghost Stance was chilling.
I've only once before played an open world game with such an engaging and immersive story.
this game is a complete masterpiece, and what an ending to an amazing era of exclusives
What game would that be? Horizon Zero Dawn? Witcher 3?

Mike Jansen, which other game was it for you?
If this game doesn't get Game of the Year, I will actually cry
Saaameeeee cuz there is no other game out there deserve it more than this LEGENDARY game the epic game itself :(❤
@Tangent of circle. But still probably be the last of us part 2
@Douglas Oliveira I'm sorry for being too positive. Now the game awards has Brie Larson as one of the influencers, it'll surely be going to tlou2 for almost all of categories it nominated including game of the year :v

"You say you are not soldiers. You are warriors! We can defeat the invaders and save our home, but only if we stand together. "
“People of Yarikawa! Hunt every mongol to the last man! Spare no one! For Yarikawa!!!” “Yarikawa!!!”
"For the Ghost!!"
FOR YARIKAWA!!!!
FOR YARIKAWA, FOR THE GHOST!!!
This scene is dope,, seeing the mongols running scared, fleeing for their lives while Jin runs after them,is just so damn badass
It’s like watching a true warrior slaying the enemies’s big boss. And because the enemies sees their boss’s head literally chopped off, they feel like they don’t stand a chance so they run knowing that the warrior is not a forced to be laughed at.
"Defeat is a state of mind; no one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality"
This mission was one of the best.
Jin's speech was incredible, I mean,* I* was just about ready to join them after that.
Yuna, Taka, everyone..
It was just so amazing. Straight out of a movie, which if I remember correctly, was their goal. To make Ghost of Tsushima a love letter to old samurai movies.
OMG I just realized, I'd LOVE a new 2020 or 2021 samurai movie!!! Especially now that I've played Ghost of Tsushima.
Ikr. I almost yelled "For Yarikawa!" along with them all, but then realized it was 10:30 in the night and my parents were asleep lol!
Yamato The Walking Story Teller: "This is a story about, Jin Sakai, The Ghost Of Tsushima. Jin Sakai Created the legendary stance known as "The Ghost Stance" Combing Fear And Deadly Precision to slaughter His enemy's and also the first and creator of Way Of The Shinobi. You can find his place in the most hidden mountain in Yarikawa
I wonder if they make a sequel to this game in which jin is not a playable character then i want this yamato mission as a main quest
@@anantmohan1769 If they do, Yamato could be a DLC. just saying
It sucks that Jin lost his home and titles in the end. The shogun and other samurais are gonna try to destroy his image and kill him. But the people in Tsushima will tell stories about him forever since he’s a legend now.
It would be absolutely amazing if there will be a Japan Dlc
@@sumantabiswas3661 considering how big Tsushima island is there is no way the entirety of japan could be in the game, maybe one small area at best. I would also say historically it wouldn't make sense, but this game isn't historically accurate to begin with and like who cares about that anyway.
@@raidonshin so ghost of hokkaido ? The ghost of nara ? Or maybe the ghost of okinawa for that tropical enviroment touch
@@desmondanimus1454 Exactly, another thing that could work is say if the game took place after the mongol invasions. There is a lot of periods in Japanese history where a samurai going rogue and becoming a "ghost" would be a plausible story to tell, for example it took take place during the most famous one, the sengoku Jidai. Say one of the small islands surrounding Japan or even perhaps a prefecture, maybe it would work with just the clan territory of a small clan as they are surrounded and wiped out by those around them. They really have full freedom with this sorta thing if they want too continue the series, whether with Jin as the protagonist, or featuring it years later where the legend of the ghost is still told. Maybe it even inspires someone who works under the shogun to seek out Jin to hear the true story instead of the twisted version told by the shogun. Whatever they decide to do or where its based I'd be excited.
@@raidonshin that would be really cool a game set in the Sengoku age, sometimes playing Ghost of Tsushima in stealth feels like the Assassin's Creed Japan we never got from Ubisoft (I know that has one in 2D, but you get what I mean)
"people of Yarikawa, hunt every Mongol to the last man, spare no one, FOR YARIKAWA"
"FOR YARIKAWA"
What a love letter to the PS4 this game is
Imagine a sequel to Ghost of Tsushima about 200 years later in the Sengoku period as the lord of a little clan joining forces with other clans against Oda Nobunaga and then there's a mythic tale about the ghost stance taught by a descendant of Jin Sakai. The whole side mission would be about tracking him down to learn the ghost stance and maybe ally with him. He could maybe even be a leader of a shinobi organization, founded by the Sakai Family.
Best mission in the game
the moment when you had to chase the people and the song appeared, ive never had this Emotion for an other game before. Suckerpunch please add a GOT2 or make at least DLC's
you got a multiplayer free uptade
If I remember correctly the two ending you get to do, kill or spare, spare is the canon ending which means potentially for a squeal
@@goon8486 there's no canon ending lol
iki island moment
I love the fact that some time before this, Jin is like “I can’t face an army that big on my own.” And then after this moment, he proceeds to slaughter pretty much an entire army’s worth by himself (with help from the Yarikawa samurai of course, but you can tell me he wasn’t leading the charge). A village of like a 100 people (even fewer properly trained) drove back an army of a thousand because of ONE man.
Also I like that after the Ghost Stance scene when Jin takes the lead, every enemy dies in one or two hits even in hard mode. They give you a massive buff to your attack after this moment, which is cool cause I feel that represents Jin’s bravery and resolve.
This song is the definition of "GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE"
I'm glad Sucker Punch added this and Jin's theme to the flute songs while you're in the Legends mode.
General Temuge: *Exist
Jin: So you choose slaughter
"I am not your son."
*"I am the Ghost."*
hearing that one peasant shouting "FOR THE GHOST!" I got goosebumps... this game is a masterpiece
Jin died at the beach. But a ghost arose to avenge his homeland and people.
It's been 2yrs since this game out on last gen, if they make a sequel to this game, I will 100% buy it.
That one moment he speaks the speech to the people of Yarikawa after the massacre is just.. pure fucking goosebumps.
It was a bit cathartic absolutely mowing down the Mongols running in terror. It felt so gratifying to be able to just instantly wipe down their forces after the game has been saying up to that point that the Mongols were untouchable
This mission was so epic it brought tears to my eyes.
4 fukin real man I was equally tearing up hard throughout my eyes & the Mongol then when it ended I had 1 of da best orgasim in MA life XD
It is amazing how much love and care Sucker Punch put into character development.
We can see Jin struggling with what he's been taught throughout his life by his uncle, and what he realizes to be the only way to save his people.
The Ghost is not something that he abruptly embraces, but a necessary change that causes a lot of internal conflicts.
And boy, the tales in this game are an expertly crafted addition, and they organically tie to the main story.
These six years Sucker Punch spent in this game paid off, and their shortcomings were more related to hardware constraints.
Awesome game!
Bruh seeing the enemies be like “It’s the Ghost! Run!” was fuckin amazzzing
Jin beheading Temuge just made my jaw hit the damn floor.
Sucker Punch should be proud of this masterpiece of a game.
People screaming "For the Ghost!" as you charge into the fear-stricken Mongols, never felt such goosebumps in my life.
You know you've lost when a single man can become a legend among your soldiers
"Ghost! It's the ghost!"
"That's the Ghost!"
"Look! It's the Ghost!"
"Allah! It's the Ghost!"
Im just gonna say it but the ghost stance is just “Local Samurai literally to angry to die”
"Local Samurai has shining red eyes, people are scared"
@@SpiderMan-xw8wh thats literally sekiro's samurai dude with ashina cross
@@mystomachhurt9312 true but this little push is easily countered with anything related to fire
This game is not just a game. It's a tale that is delivered with a masterful cinematic experience. Not just this moment, but all the others (The haikus before the duel against lord shimura)
I usually just chose anything o write the haiku, except this one. I wanted this one to capture the emotions of the final moment.
This is, for me, the single greatest cinematic moment for any game ever. In Kurosawa mode, killing Temuge and driving off the Mongols looks absolutely fantastic.
not nominated for music score in the game awards its a crime
No matter how many time I return to listen to this, it never loses any momentum even after I've finished the campaign. Act II was the climax that took place before THE climax, containing some of the most powerful as scenes in recent memory. This tune will remain engraved in my heart as the prelude to vengeance.
I just love how in the game you search for legendary attacks like the heavenly strike and dance of wrath which were created by other people, however for this one, YOU created this, THE terrifying ghost stance.
Everybody gangsta until Kurosawa said "Action".
I’m so glad that I managed to go so long without spoilers for this game so I could witness this for the first time and it was glorious
The fact that the game awards didn't even give a nomination for best music to GoT is a crime
Now it is Sonys worst game according to game journalists
@@darnsimpletons5256 well game journalist are the least qualified journalist out there so their opinions don't matter.
@@darnsimpletons5256 are you serious? Bruh I’m bout to ghost stance all those journalists.
Pig shit has more prestige than the game awards. Ghost of Tsushima is too good for them
FOR YARIKAWA
When "assassinate" become "slaughter", you know this gonna be epic..
Such a great Ost and what blow of mission, just played it. OMG
"Invaders, look at your general! RUN... or this will be your fate."
I love how in the game the people of Yarikawa and Shimura put aside their differences to combat a common enemy that threatens their very way of life. Doesn't matter if you're Yarikawan or not your entire home is threatened as well as your people. It's very inspiring.
This was the most epic mission out of all of them, I wish I played this game when it came out although I didn’t have a PlayStation at the time
This moment is the peak of the game. Everything was building up to this and it delivered. Absolutely epic.
Ik I'm late to the party but I just reached this part yesterday, I was already having a blast but this was the past of the game that sold it and cemented it for me as one of the best games I've ever played.
The fact that they started running is epic
This was the moment when Jin realised that Mongols were not the typical foes which could be defeated with the old ways.
He had to push himself beyond
his his own values and beliefs as a Samurai. He had to be someone else..... He had to become The Ghost to save his People and his Land.
This, for me is when Jin Saki the samurai died and The Ghost rose from his ashes. Up until this point he tried his damnedest to hold on to even the tiniest sliver of his honor that stopped him from brutalizing his enemies. At Yarikawa he finally gives in to the notion that the only way to fight an enemy with no honor, is to abandon yours as well. Become a monster in their eyes.
My brother tells me how good red dead 2 is, but no game will ever be able to stand even close to how moving and epic the entire game was for me. I never thought I would like this more than Spider-Man 2
I truly believe that Jin Sakai died that day and that was the birth of the ghost, someone who was willing to do and sacrifice anything to save his people
Just finished this quest 10 minutes ago and I had to set my PS on rest mode to take a breather, calm down the chill that went through my body and internalize the pure epicness that I have just witnessed.
Honestly speeking, Yarikawa mission is my favorite mission in this game
The Yarikawa battle is my favorite of the entire game. The music is excellent, especially during the time leading up to your showdown with Temuge. You know it’s on when you start hearing those chants.
So noble so epic, you feel stronger everytime you listen to it and realizing how lucky we are to have this piece of art...thank you...a legendary game and a beautiful soundtrack...
I feel like that for other samurai finding a legendary tale of Yamato, the Ghost Stance will be shared as one of the other legends, like “Way of the Flame” or “The Dance of Wrath.”
What makes this even more emotional and touching is these people from yarikawa hated clan sakai. And he was able to unite them to his cause and fight back against the mongol invasion. Something about that dynamic just hits different 💪
I expected nothing from this game, now it's one of my favorites.
Same here
True. I honestly all i expected to have was like an immersive and enjoyable experience, and I didn't expect to list it as one of my favorites. Little did I know I was heading into a masterpiece which in a matter of months would rise to the top as one of my all time favorite games
@zuLaz11 And why does that matter? They clearly put a ton of work into it, they even visited Japan and Tsushima themselves to collect stories and museums in Japan to make the setting. It doesn't matter which country made it, what matters is that it still remains the best samurai game of all time.
I love the correlation between Jin and his Father. Yuriko stated that Jin’s dad was like a demon after hunting a few bandits in the woods. And You can imagine his other Exploits. Kazumasa was the Devil of Tsushima. While Jin was the Ghost
This game. Congrats Sucker Punch you must be proud.
For Yarikawa! FOR THE GHOST!
