Please give me a few minutes to uncringe. :p

I'd love to be able to read Lockley's primary sources because I can't get rid of the impression that the whole black samurai thing stinks to high heaven, even if the definition of "samurai" was rather flexible at the time and there is no question there was a black dude around Nobunaga.

Why/HOW a samurai in feudal Japan is NOT an Asian ?

Woman samurai is fine (like Mulan, can pose as man and player later may learn he/she plays a woman actually).
An Arabic/Hindu/African (man or woman) for shinobi/ninja is also fine (since these could be "imported" from mainland with some slave history background).
But an African samurai, in one of the most rigid political systems for getting this type of title ?!
At least you could have make it believable guys...
Please stop rewriting history to be "more politically correct" in current times.

EDIT : OR Ubisoft simply can't make a good game without controversy to spin marketing machine up.
Which is very sad, and I hope it fails miserably in the sales department if that's the case.

it really does seem like Ubi just wants press, they don't care if it's good or bad, and of course, as was mentioned, they turned off comments on the vid. lol

Maybe they are just trying to grind the company in to the ground so MS or some one buys it, seems to be the in thing.
