I chose to honor his last wish, it felt like a ton of bricks when Jim cried, but then irl, the next day I had to put down my beloved dog of 12 years, and now I can't never see the ending the same way again.
Jin may be without the honor of a Samurai, but he does have his own code that he follows. The game shows that he never, ever harms a Samurai and preferred being imprisoned over that.
Killing Shimura goes against that and would just make the Samurai not only see him as a traitor, but as a murderous threat no better than the Mongols. So, sparing him is what makes more sense. Plus, it fits his development as the Ghost because he does not let the Samurai code stop him before, so killing family to honor it be contradictory.
That being said, the killing ending is better made in terms of entertainment and beauty. I wish they made the sparing one more symbolic too.
You have the wrong idea on the endings, to kill shimura is to show you aren't dishonorable, to show that even though you may have gone too far in the eyes of the shogunate, that you do still have limits to how far you'll stray off the warriors path. But to spare shimura, Jin literally states that he has no honor, meaning he is what every samurai thinks he is, that shimura was right, and the Shogun is correct in labeling Jin a traitor. The good ending is killing shimura, the bad ending is letting him live, not because of the morality of the player, but because of what it entails for Jin as a character.
All I’m going to say is that I completed the Iki island dlc before I completed the main game. In hindsight I regretted that decision but it did influence my decision at the end of the main campaign. It made my choice make more sense.
I spared him as a punishment. My Jin does no longer believes the samurai are honorable. To kill him and honor his wishes, and spare him the judgement of the shogun, would be to reward his ideology. I spared his life to show humanity is the truest honor.
When Jin said he was a slave to honor that’s the part that made me realize I couldn’t kill him because Jin knew the man willing to die for honor and to the ghost it would just be murdering family to him which he learned along the way family is more important than the samurai
I don't like the naming good or bad ending. Both of them have a grey outcome. For me it felt "good" to give Lord Shimura his last wish, and I took his life. It's more like "Samurai" ending vs. "Ghost" ending
This is also an oddly like western take on Bushido. Using subterfuge and like. Basic strategy are not dishonorable. Even more, quite a number of samurai were also ninja. Even activities like espionage sabotage and assassination weren't dishonorable as long as it was in service to your Lord and the clan
there is no bad ending in the game. There is an ending where Jin completely becomes a ghost, and there is an ending where he gives the death of a warrior to Lord Shimura. That's all

Daisuke Tsuji (Jin Sakai Actor) choose "Spare" ending in this video https://youtu.be/pURbPEwWv4A
what do you think about his choice?
I think kill him is the good choice because he gives a warrior and lords death
Killing him has to be the good ending because you get the white dye instead of the red.
i beg to differ, all endings are good endings, the “good ending” is sparing lord shimura and the “bad ending” is giving lord shimura his dying wish
I chose to honor his last wish, it felt like a ton of bricks when Jim cried, but then irl, the next day I had to put down my beloved dog of 12 years, and now I can't never see the ending the same way again.
I hope someone will answer me, but how do I do both of the ending?
Did anyone else het a Fortnite ad on the saddest part💀
To the Americans that actually played this game in sub instead of dub ur weird lmfao

This wasn’t the thing that got me in the game what really got me was the horse’s death. I chose to kill Shimura and regret it.
I did it for the white drip I’m sorry 😭

I killed him because I thought I would have to fight him later on if I didn't but then it turned out the game ended😭😭
I think the kill option is the better ending. Dialogue is so much better. Overall felt like a better cut scene. Also made sense to honor Shimura.

Jin's new mission should have been: Destroying the Shogunate
I spared him as a punishment. My Jin does no longer believes the samurai are honorable. To kill him and honor his wishes, and spare him the judgement of the shogun, would be to reward his ideology. I spared his life to show humanity is the truest honor.

The Bad Ending is so fucking emotional tho I could call it the better ending
I think think. Twice about killing the uncle he was in the way the people believe in the ghost
And needed the ghost
Well shit, I killed him thinking it was the good ending. 🤦🏻♂️

What is the the true ending?
There is no good or bad ending
there is no bad ending in the game. There is an ending where Jin completely becomes a ghost, and there is an ending where he gives the death of a warrior to Lord Shimura. That's all
I got a spoiler 🙁 i knew nothing of the game like you rescue lord shimura in act1
I'm sorry but killing him is the good ending; it's what he wanted.
