Ghost of Yotei’s Path to New Stances Can Still Be Fun

by

Summary

  • Ghost of Yotei can evolve combat by revisiting stances from Ghost of Tsushima for nostalgia.
  • Atsu can learn stances indirectly through Jin’s legacy or unique new stances for versatility.
  • New stances like dual wielding or animal companion integration can make combat fun and innovative.

As a die-hard fan of the Ghost of Tsushima series, I eagerly anticipate the upcoming title, Ghost of Yotei. Having spent countless hours mastering Jin Sakai’s stances and navigating the breathtaking landscapes of Tsushima Island, I am excited to see how Ghost of Yotei builds upon its predecessor’s foundation while still offering a fresh experience.

In a new tale titled “Ghost of Yotei“, we find ourselves stepping onto the same stage as our predecessor, but with fresh and familiar elements in the samurai-filled era of Ezo during Japan’s Edo period. The protagonist, Atsu, takes over the Ghost mantle, setting this story 300 years after the original game. This sequel offers an opportunity to advance the combat style introduced in “Ghost of Tsushima“, while still paying homage to its roots. One effective method for achieving this balance could be by revisiting and enhancing the stances from the first game, creating a system that feels both freshly innovative and nostalgically familiar.

In “Ghost of Tsushima”, Jin acquires diverse combat stances by either watching or overcoming specific Mongol commanders. However, as “Ghost of Yotei” appears to be quite different from its predecessor, it might be necessary to explore alternative methods to ensure the gameplay doesn’t become monotonous or repetitive. There are several strategies that not only seem plausible but could also make learning new stances more engaging than “Ghost of Tsushima” made its own.

Ghost of Yotei Can Make Its Approach to New Stances Fun

Ghost of Yotei’s Atsu Can Study Stances That Jin Learned in Tsushima

In a different approach, instead of having Atsu learn the four stances (Water Stance, Wind Stance, Moon Stance, and Ghost Stance) in the same manner as Jin did, the story of Ghost of Yotei could weave Atsu’s journey with Jin’s legacy. This could be achieved by having Atsu discover these stances indirectly through him, perhaps by finding ancient scrolls or traditional tales that recount Jin’s feats from the Mongol invasion era. To add a touch of the supernatural, Ghost of Yotei might also have Atsu encounter Jin’s spirit or hallucinations of his battles.

Adopting Jin’s poses within the game “Ghost of Yotei” in such a way serves a dual purpose: firstly, it honors Jin’s legacy within the game; secondly, it helps fans reconnect with the samurai who initiated this entire narrative.

Ghost of Yotei Can Introduce New Stances Unique to Atsu

If the game doesn’t showcase Atsu’s stances through linking her with Jin’s heritage in “Ghost of Yotei”, it could alternatively introduce distinctive stances exclusive to Atsu instead. Given that Atsu is confirmed to wield two weapons in “Ghost of Yotei”, perhaps she could have a stance specialized for dual katana combat, enhancing her adaptability and multi-target combats. This stance might emphasize speed and aggression during battles, as Atsu employs swift slashes and linked attacks to overpower her opponents.

As a gamer, I’d love to see a “Beast Bond” stance in Ghost of Yotei. If Atsu has an animal companion, this could allow me to strategically utilize it during combat. In this stance, I could command my pet to attack or pin down an enemy, providing a perfect opportunity for me to strike back. The animal companion could also be signaled to distract enemies, allowing me to sneak up undetected for a stealthy kill. This feature would not only add depth to the gameplay, but also enrich the story by deepening the bond between Atsu and her pet. It’s a connection that could be woven into the narrative, making it more immersive and meaningful for players like me.

In a different rendition, if the character named Yotei’s Ghost maintains the four postures similar to those found in Ghost of Tsushima (Water Stance, Wind Stance, Moon Stance, and Ghost Stance), it could be that Atsu acquires these stances not by learning them directly like Jin did, but instead through a connection with Jin’s legacy. This way, Atsu learns the stances indirectly from him.

In terms of being inventive yet mindful, offering novel concepts while respecting the heritage of Ghost of Tsushima, Ghost of Yotei’s approach and battle system could potentially offer not only innovation, but an enjoyable experience as well. This might be achieved through Atsu’s distinct dual-wielding skills, the addition of a companion animal, or the revamping of Ghost of Tsushima’s stances. Consequently, Ghost of Yotei has the possibility to deliver players a profound and vibrant samurai journey that feels both comfortably familiar and thrillingly fresh.
