Yasuke, (variously rendered as 弥助 or 弥介, 彌助 or 彌介 in different sources.[1]) (b. c. 1555–566) was a samurai of black African origin who served under the Japanese hegemon and warlord Oda Nobunaga in 1581 and 1582.

Whoa!

Kelley is an interesting villain choice considering he's heavily associated with alchemy and western spiritual stuff, in contrast to the rest of the game with spirit animals and poo poo. Maybe his spirit snake is even a homonculus.

That's really cool, was wondering who Liam O'Brien is voicing.

I was wondering if he was going to be another Western person since the brunt of the plot seems to be William chasing him, not to mention him speaking both English and Japanese.

When I saw that Nobunaga was in the game I was disappointed that they didn't make Yasuke the main character, but that's cool that he's still in the game.

Nothing better than swinging around a little girl like a flail.
Nioh is suppose to have multiple playable characters right? Yasuke might be one of them if that's the case.

Not that I know of. Yasuke is a character during the story and might have a duel stage like Muneshige.

I saw someone suggest that the hidden teahouse would let you play as other characters (just visually) but they probably made that up

No, this is how it works. The whole "multiple characters" thing is a farce, you play as William and can unlock body transformation magic to "play as "different" characters".

I don't think I've ever preordered a season pass bundle until this game. I actually preordered the standard edition a long time ago, but just cancelled it today and splurged on the gold edition. I have the highest confidence that this game will keep me engaged until all the DLCs release, it's just that good.

This is super cool news, everybody being Geralt was gonna get old.

Can you still change armor if you change your transformation appearance I wonder? And are there playable lady characters?

I tried for several minutes with a friend, we couldn't figure it out either.

There is some very sensual touching going on in the cutscene there. i don't actually think it means anything sexual but it's cool how it contrasts with modern ideas of what bad ass stuff should be like. It even seems authentic to some kind of chivalric masculine touching from a tyme longe gone

Historically his body was never found so maybe...

Also I hope he becomes a crazy dude obsessed with bug demons named after Hamlet characters, just to fulfill the dream that this makes it the Onimusha reboot I wish it was.

did you not see the video where a corpse is reanimated on top of a burning castle and it's nobunaga

and that boss that says the're bringing back something powerful... something like that

the game is extremely obviously about stopping a western wizard from reanimating nobunaga and toppling tokugawa
