Do you think any characters in Nioh 3 will top Tokichiro's portrayal in 2? The game shows his whole life, from a humble peasant to the top man in the country, his wild ambitions and and his eventual downfall.
Thus far i'm mostly interested in Tokichiro's grandson who looks like a toku villain. In real life he was killed as a kid, in this timeline he was seemingly adopted by Tokugawa, but then corrupted by something.
No, I don't. ToKINOro is unlikely to be topped, although I would be happy to be wrong.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MeHaP7pTtg
>>722834774Yeah, but it was kinda weird that the game let YEARS pass between missions. And all we had are those more weird cutscenes. I lost touch with Tokichiro. Suddenly he had some kind of 'power', as before he was always that comedy relief monkey.
>>722835027Oh god, I hope it's not literally the same story as the Nioh 1 DLC.

>>722835267The story trailer shows that he was a gentle and kind dude, then he got hijacked by something and ruined the country. I think the central antagonist is King Enma trying to take over the mortal realm.
What kind of guardian spirit it this?I have high hopes for Himiko, her introduction with her posing as a samurai is adorable.
>>722835218It mostly follows his real life shenanigans. Kinoshita Tokichiro was a peasant who did some raids with bros, got noticed by Nobunaga (who jokingly called him 'monkey'), was made samurai, participated in big battles, eventually became a daimyo, and after Nobunaga's death he finished his job of unifying the country.It's cool that the MC is immortal so we could follow Tokichiro from his humble beginnings all the way until his deathbed. I believe the game takes place across about 62 years?
>>722835218I think the fast flow of time really highlights the immortal nature of the main character. Hiddy doesn't belong to the mortal realm, he's like a demigod observer who managed to connect with several people.
Reminder that Hideyoshi unified Japan, not Nobunaga (although Nobunaga kickstarted it all)Reminder that Hideyoshi invaded Korea twice and modern estimates are that 60% of the Korean population back then perishedReminder that Hideyoshi had christians tortured and executed to avoid Japan to become like Philippines
>>722835610Tokugawa's hat looks like one of those dildos with a wide base so they can stand up on their own.
>>722835313>But I wanted too much and that red light beckoned me on,>I didn't know it was the darkness that devoured dreams and birthed the stones,>The nightmare that gripped me grew and grew,>I thought it would last forever...>Until you finally woke me.
>>722835267Friendly reminder, the boulder where Tamamo-no-Mae (Nine Tails from Nioh 1) was believed to be imprisoned for 900 years somehow split in two in March 2022. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sessho-sekiShe's out and about.
i'm giving nioh 2 another chance, because i played khazan lately and liked it, dropped nioh 2 it in the 2nd area when it was just the same enemies but blue hope there's actual variety in the rest
>>722836801Nioh 2 has a very large enemy roster, though it's mostly all demons, the humans don't change too much aside from ninjas and riflemen appearing later on.
Tokichiro is shit. Hes your buddy for a long while then suddenly two cutscenes later oh no the evil, AAAAAAGHHHH IM EVIL. then you kill him and he snaps out of it. Now i dont hate demonic possession as a concept but how do you the same shit for so long and only say sorry once you finally lose
>>722835610Korea is also majority Christian and it's not richer than Japan, nigga. Philippines is just poor since you Japanese and Americans stole all their wealth in the Philippine-American War and World War 2.
>>722837726I mean Korea is Christian majority and NOW richer than Japan. Philippines after its war of independence against Spain was also richer than Japan before America and Japan took turns stealing from them amidst the Philippine American War and World War 2.
>>722836448I went to the spot where this lady and her son died in Osaka castle. It's quite a calm place where visitors pass by but not many stop to take anything in. I sat there for a while learning about the history of the end of the siege of Osaka, and formed my schizo theory on how Yodogimi actually planned for her son to lose and sabotaged negotiations to ensure Tokugawa doesn't spare the Toyotomi clan, leading to her convincing her son to commit suicide, all for revenge against what Hideyoshi did to her
>>722836910The roster is big, but it takes a long time to introduce everything, so early levels are a lot of monkeys, yoki, and gaki. I mean, the game never stops spamming gaki, but, y'know.
>>722834774>dumb faggot who betrays you in his hunger for amrita>also insanely evil in real history but in typical fashion they whitewashed all of that in the game I'll be real with you, chief. I no longer care about TN's stories. They were all dogshit, and in Rise of the Ronin I started skipping all the cutscenes and dialogue unless if a hot chick was on the screen, it's gonna be the same for N3
>>722838251>insanely evil in real historyWho wasn't by modern standards?Pic related is Nobunaga's line in Nioh 1. Kinda sums it up.
>>722838564>Who wasn't by modern standards?Azai Nagamasa
>>722835610Nobunaga also planned to invade Korea and China, he just got killed before he could properly entertain the udeaI read the Hyouge Mono manga recently and it's version of Hideyoshi is a pretty cool take on the character, need a somewhat high weeb level for it though as so much of it is about tea ceremony stuff
Who fucking cares about the story?I just whack red demon niggas purple ultra niggas and some human niggas
>>722835610they were Japanese Christians so it's okay
