Yasuke is a questionable choice for a protagonist. It breaks with the pattern of inserting a fictional character into the world, you'll never convince me that his race was not a calculated factor in choosing him, and his status as a samurai (and portrayal in western media) is largely based on a single historian's work with questionable credibility. Ubisoft has used the Oda family crest without permission (the family still exists today), ~~used imagery of the Buddha without permission (retracted, may have been the Budai)~~, used a destroyed torii gate as advertising material; and for how much they bleat about historical accuracy, their trailers are chock full of inaccuracies.
I do not believe that a character is enhanced or ruined based on their race, but Ubisoft is definitely exploiting it.
Still can’t believe they put Socrates in AC Odyssey just because he was a popular figure from history. They didn’t even portray him realistically in their video game about solo killing hundreds of enemies.

Oh, right, so all criticisms are invalid because its a game. Just a shitty lowly game, that shitty lowly gamers play. Can't stand those losers, taking all their childish bullshit seriously. Caring is for pussies.
