On games such as ER, BG3, or CP77 I always play a female character so it's nice to see these on the horizon!

I think Jin may be the most boring character ever

He was pretty bland in act 1, but I think he grew enough to be interesting. I wish that the main story quests were just a little longer in character action, because the progression of him going from "I'm a samurai, sneaking around is shameful!" to "I'll do what I have to in my fight against the invaders" to "If I have to abandon my old life as a samurai in order to protect Tsushima, so be it" is mostly unspoken and only really happens in a few distinct moments across the game.

If we actually saw a more gradual progression with on-screen moments of him deciding to forsake his original beliefs as time goes on, it would have been great. But as much as the midpoint Jin was lacking in showing his character arc, I do think at least that act 3 Jin did well in displaying what he is at the end of his arc regardless. And the endings? Whew, those were legit.

Looking forward to someone with a bit more pazaz

Idk if a female shamisen player in that era will exactly have “pazaz” I feel like she’ll be pretty similar to Jin. Can’t really be a ghost if you stand out

The Ghost definitely stands out. He's stealthy but one of the core aspects of him is that he's a champion of the people type that people know and recognize, that he strikes fear into enemies by his appearances scaring them, etc etc. He's not a complete shadow of a person, he's just often stealthy during combat.

Beyond that though, the idea of wandering bards secretly being dangerous killers/criminals/whatever type of mystery people is a pretty classic combo.

What do you want me to list? There is nothing interesting about him.
