Literally just spies. Not ninja, or kunoichi. We call them spies. You'd try to plant some serving girls in your opponent's castle or whatever. Their job would be to do serving girl chores and try to listen for useful information. At no point would they be crawling on rooftops, climbing trees or stabbing samurai to death with hairpins.VoiceOfReasonPast wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2024 11:31 am
There may have been 3DPD used for information gathering duties, but there's a good chance they were just geisha and/or concubines.
And of course, anybody traveling with clandestine goals would dress in whatever garb allowed them to appear ordinary. They'd dress as peasants, merchants, wandering monks... Same thing as how the outlaws in the Water Margin would disguise themselves as peddlers, fortune tellers or monks to travel. Spoiler: there are no ninja in the Water Margin. Plenty of spying, though.
I saw that William (Nioh) countermove coming ages ago and already parried that shit. Game about Japanese history should star Japanese characters. That said, Ubisoft are whito piggus and Team Ninja are slanteyes, so me telling Team Ninja to stop whitewashing is gonna come off kinda different from telling Ubishit to stop blackwashing somebody else's culture's history.
Or I could play Samurai Warriors 2 and not any of that goyslop."you can always play rise of the Ronin or ghost of Tsushima"
