I love ghosts of tsushima so far (officially about 1/3rd in)
But as I sit thinking about a dialogue issue that stems from it's Western POV, it's interesting
Jin's uncle says that jins methods were brutal and impulsive and so not honorable but... They aren't particularly?

Also mind you I just watched seven samurai last night so this is in context of "the samurai made the farmers like this" speech
But even from a westernized POV, this is NOT what the game says is Jins great sin?
It's STEALTH

One, brutality within the context of the game, or impulsivity from a noble taken out on invaders, doesn't make sense to scold. They are a warrior class, literally what they all do
And every other character including jin AND HIS UNCLE IN FLASHBACKS say different

The problem is him sneaking, him working in the shadows instead of head on- which would necessitate brutality, but not "dirty" brutality.
When I get back to it I'll see where they take it, but I'm most interested when the uncle acknowledges his debt to jin

I'd love if the story goes the path of the uncle and jin accepting that Jin must sacrifice his honor to save the family and their land. Jin as a samurai sineater, who gives up some of the power and ability to be Lord for the greater good.
His uncle then navigating pride, gratitude, and shame all at once.
In some ways politically shunning him bc it's the only way

My thoughts here are primarily in game logic about honor and sacrifice and samurai, bc if this was general thoughts, I'd add on Jin having to decide if his uncle isn't as bad an option
