He's basically Dracula except seems content to just know he's better than everyone else. His whole 'nothing should last forever' speech implied he suicided. Especially since you later meet him and his wife in the afterlife for the world's most nightmarish sparring session.

Unfinish3d posted:Here is an extremely good video on the lore of Nioh. William is actually based on a real dude! Just about every human character in Nioh is based on a real person. Well, loosely based, in some cases. It's pretty cool. In real life, William was a sailor but not a badass warrior by any means--he was a samurai because he was given land for his services as a translator and diplomat. Still, pretty cool story overall. I want to read more about Yasuke, myself, though I know there's less historical record of him.

I'm about to finish off the second region (so pretty early in the game still) but aside from knowing that I'm after Kelly to get back my Spirit Guardian I have no loving idea what the plot is. And not in a Souls game sense, I feel that Nioh is trying to be upfront about everything but just kind of fails at not being really confusing. So many different people and clans I don't know who I'm working for or against.

I get the feeling that Nioh's plot was designed with the idea that the Japanese have a good idea of how the Warring States conflict went so they just broadstroke a ton of the events in between the cutscenes with that in mind but when it comes to foreigners we're just confused.

Deified Data posted:The problem Souls faced is they kind of ran out of awesome world changing things after a while so eventually it felt like you were a spectator of nothing, or at least the same events over and over. Giving William more agency in Nioh was one of the changes I enjoyed and another thing that made the game feel fresh. William doesn't have any agency really. He has a goal but he just does whatever he is told and somehow it lines up for some reason.

To be honest even the events the main character should be involved in are glossed over. This story is really, really weirdly put together.

The Story is nonsense. I enjoy the little factoids in the load screens though. It's cool some of the areas are based on real places. I've actually cracked wikipedia open a few times while playing. Edit: What's the deal with the spirit requirement? You can equip a spirit animal even if you don't meet the requirement. Are they just less powerful if you do that? Like equipping something in Souls when you don't meet the requirements? veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 08:51 on Feb 26, 2017 |

Nioh is one of those games that you should read up about the Sengoku period and get a vibe for the big names of the era. The story is still weak and hard to follow but you'll be like ohhh poo poo it's my boy Iyeasu. basically it helps to know what a big deal some of the characters are beforehand https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDsdkoln59A

By the way, most of the character models (Ieyasu, Hattori, Okatsu) are based (very accurately) on the famous Japanese actors who voice them in game.

And not in a Souls game sense, I feel that Nioh is trying to be upfront about everything but just kind of fails at not being really confusing. So many different people and clans I don't know who I'm working for or against. It's really pretty simple, and is laid out early on. England has become one of the world's dominant naval powers, partly through the use of a magical crystal called Amrita. They sent out privateers to gather it, and then locked them up to preserve the secret of their success when their supplies started to run out - though not before they discovered a near-limitless Amrita source, the nation of Japan. William was one of those privateers, and the best at his job, thanks to his Amrita-sensing Guardian Spirit, Saorise (Guardian Spirits are benign magical creatures who attach themselves to humans who catch their interest and help them out). Edward Kelley, one of England's top agents (think James Bond meets Voldemort) was sent to Japan to scout the area and destabilise the political situation there so that England could roll in, conquer the locals, and set up Amrita mines across the country, thereby securing the power to rule the world. He takes along Saorise as a tool for locating and gathering Amrita to help him with this, and William follows him, hoping to get his oldest and best friend back. When William arrives in Japan, he discovers that Kelley's been using the mutating powers of Amrita to sow chaos, weakening the barriers between worlds and bringing in the malevolent spirits of Japanese folklore, youkai, to wreak havoc. As one of the few who can actually see these things, William is uniquely suited to fighting them - especially since one of the other superpowers he got from his Guardian Spirit was resurrective immortality. There's the tail-end of the century-long civil war going on, with the last two great warlords, Tokugawa Ieyasu and Ishida Mitsunari, squaring off for one grand, final battle, and Ed has picked the weaker side, the Ishida faction, to lend a hand to in order to prolong and increase the mayhem, while cooking up various country-ending plots to sweep the board clean for England. William, meanwhile, is quickly snapped up by the Tokugawa faction after their spymaster, Hattori Hanzo, witnesses his abilities, and spends the rest of the game splitting his efforts between supporting the war effort to keep his new allies happy and tracking down Edward to get Saorise back.

On a related note, I enjoy that Tecmo Koei has a single unified "look" for Nobunaga Oda that only slightly changes from game to game. So whether he's a demon king, a samurai warlord, an undead overlord, or a tiny cat he's got the same basic features established in Samurai Warriors.

It's not really relevant to the game but yesterday I decided to embrace my inner William and make sushi with ginger & soy sauce dip and some sake to drink. I think I did okay making it! Then I ended up playing Nioh all evening.

I noticed something odd about the rifts that spawn yokai. They usually have little critters flying around the cloud that appears, and you can even shoot them before triggering the spawn. It doesn't seem to do anything, but it's still fun to do anyway.

There's no way to make the NG+ version of missions play their cutscenes, is there? It's a bit disappointing that every cutscene is skipped since I sort of wanted to go back and look at the early plot now that I actually know who all these people are, who they work for, and what they're doing.
