many of you did not play onimusha so it falls to me to inform you about OL murasaki shikibu

Her introducing herself as the author of Genji Monogatari and saying you should read it was so bizarre I kinda loved it

i really wish they leaned into the history shit more its so strange how like. you could play this game as a westener and not really understand that almost everyone in the game is a Real Guy of some kind

And weirdly tied into the genji and heike but taking place hundreds of years later. I'm torn between they assumed it was uninteresting to a global audience or they were focused on a domestic one that would already be at least somewhat aware of what they were doing

i think a big reason is they explicitly dont want to refer to the events of the prior games to not confuse people but that also means never talking about the shogunate despite the game being set in kyoto in like 1610 lmao

Yeah, definitely went too far in the other direction on that one
