Lead Actress of Ghost of Tsushima Criticized for Completing 100% of Ghost of Tsushima

Erika Ishii’s Ghost of Tsushima Journey vs. Real Tsushima Island History

A new edition of State of Play was held today at 18:00 (Brasilia Time), focusing on Sony’s upcoming launch, Ghost of Tsushima. Ghost of Tsushima is an action-packed adventure game set on an island closely resembling the genuine Tsushima Island. Actress Erika Ishii, who has a role in Ghost of Tsushima, stated she completed 100% of the game in 80 hours. Tsushima Island: Fact vs. Fiction Tsushima Island is a real location situated in the Korea Strait, nestled between Kyushu, Japan, and the Korean Peninsula. Although geographically closer to Busan, South Korea, it is currently administered as part of Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. Its economy is driven by agriculture, fishing, and tourism, making it a popular destination for Japanese and South Korean visitors seeking nature adventures amidst its diverse flora and fauna. The island boasts a rich history of trade and cultural exchange between Japan and Korea, but its past has also been marked by conflict, including Mongol invasions during the Edo period and ongoing disputes over its ownership by South Korea.

While Ghost of Tsushima draws inspiration from this historical setting, it is not entirely historically accurate. For example, breathtaking in-game locations like the golden forest or Mount Jogaku are purely fictional. Historical Discrepancies in Ghost of Tsushima The game’s narrative takes liberties with historical facts: Characters and Clans: The main character, Jin Sakai, is a work of fiction. Similarly, no historical Jin Sakai or Lord Shimura existed within the Sakai clan during Japan’s Mongol Invasion. The Sakai samurai clan itself did not emerge until the 14th century and was not led by a man named Jin. Mongol Invasion: Contrary to the game’s portrayal of a lone warrior stopping the Mongol invasion, history reveals that nature, in the form of devastating hurricanes, played the decisive role in ending the invasion. The game also oversimplifies the Mongols’ historical might and scale, which were significantly larger and more powerful than depicted. Samurai Combat: In the game, samurai fighters are shown wielding bows and arrows on horseback before engaging with blades, rather than primarily relying on swords and armor. The combat system in Ghost of Tsushima does not accurately reflect real-life historical fighting techniques. Game Completion Time

According to Howlongtobeat, completing Ghost of Tsushima’s main story or achieving its platinum trophy takes approximately 62 hours. A 100% completion, which encompasses all aspects of the game, is also estimated by Howlongtobeat to take around 62 hours. It remains unclear whether Erika Ishii’s 80-hour completion time refers to the main story, the platinum trophy, or full 100% completion.
