Sure, here’s a reimagined version of that article, human quirks included:

Okay, so here’s the thing. There’s this sequel, right? Ghost of Yotei. And no, it’s not carrying on directly from where Ghost of Tsushima left off — at least, not that I could tell. It’s like, 300 years later. Totally different folks. I mean, I get it, they probably needed a fresh slate. We’re tossed to the other side of Japan now, and I can’t help but wonder… did Jin Sakai’s story even make it into a campfire tale by then? Anyway, who knows.
Recently, there was this deep-dive thing — State of Play, they called it — on Ghost of Yotei. And it got me thinking… they’ve kept a lot of Tsushima’s style. Not entirely complaining here. But yeah, the familiarness is comforting, like slipping into an old pair of shoes. They don’t scream that it has to be an entirely different shoe brand, ya know?
Thing is, I wouldn’t be shocked if they sprinkled in Tsushima references as legends or myths. Though, gameplay-wise, if you liked Tsushima, you’ll recognize the dance. Maybe that’s intentional. Or maybe, whoops, I’m just repeating myself. Whatever.
But sequels, they’re complicated beasts. Everyone has their expectations, right? Some folks, they just want more of the same goodness. Others, they crave new thrills. It’s like ordering pizza, trying to keep everyone fed. Anyway, Yotei seems like it’s aiming to do both — keep what’s beloved while adding a spin or two.
For example, there are these new little tweaks, like a Clue System. You get these NPCs showing up while you chill at campsites — less running around, more laid-back detective vibes. It’s kinda fun.
Then there’s combat. Tsushima veterans will feel right at home. Swordplay, combat stances — same and not the same. They’ve thrown in new weapons like spears and dual swords, too. Switching between them sounds like a cheat code for efficiency. It’s comforting, like hot spring baths making a comeback. Who didn’t love those? But I wonder, is it enough change? Maybe. Maybe not.
So yeah, Yotei isn’t rewriting the rulebook, but it’s adding some frills to the margins. Playing it safe? Perhaps. And that’s the scoop, or part of it, I suppose. I got lost somewhere along the way, but aren’t we all?
