Shimura: “You have no honour”
Jin: “And you are a slave to it”
Can’t fault this ending in any way

[nicholas_eras]

Shimura: "Thank you, my son. Find me in the next life"
Jin: "I will"
Me: *cries a lot*

This is going to be a game that will go down in PlayStation’s history as one of its best titles

Technically, Jin never broke his honor code. Back when we first sparred Shimura, Jin said that protecting people who can’t protect themselves is the meaning of honor. Jin did nothing wrong.

Shimura: The ghost will be hunted for the rest of his days

Best swordsman in the Island: K

The most annoying things: Dutch's plan and Lord shimura's shogun

[blondeplants]

“...and my head is the cost”
“Taking it is my punishment”
This quote is so underrated

1:50 Have you noticed the Yin and Yang symbolism? Jin is kneeling in white leaves whilst Shimura in red.
This game is a masterpiece!

The spare ending is the Ghost ending. You admit you have no honor but won’t stoop so low as to kill your family. You bow to Shimura as a last sign of respect, put on your mask, and walk away as the screen fades. More poetic and cinematic. This may be seen as more like Jin and the better ending because you fully embrace the Ghost. But Shimura would have to return to the Shogun as a failure, who would most likely strip him of his title, honor, and exiled until he kills the Ghost. That would mean a lot especially to Shimura who values his honor above all else. Or the Shogun would command him to commit seppuku or execute him. Even if the Shogun spares him he lives with constant guilt, regret, and sadness. He lost all his honor, and his nephew. And would most likely kill himself anyway.

The kill ending is more the family ending. You tell him you will honor is memory and ensure he is seen in good light. He thanks you and calls you his son rather then the Ghost, and tells you to find him in the next life. Jin stabs Shimura through the gut with his tanto, screaming in agony as his father figure breathes his last. The screen fades and the credits roll. It’s definitely more emotional then the spare ending. More emotional music, expressions, and when you remember their history it hits even harder. This is still in character of the Ghost, because he didn’t do this for himself, he did it for his Uncle. This is the purest form of love he could’ve shown for his Uncle. He didn’t do it to honor the Samurai way, he did it because his Uncle honored the Samurai way, and Jin respected and loved him enough to grant him his wish for a warriors death.

The guy who wrote the dialogues deserve an oscar.

I chose to “honor” Shimura with a killing, for his honor, not my own. Honor was key to Shimura’s character

[ZakMilz]

I like the symbolism of the flower petals on the ground. The red representing the samurai and it's code and the white representing the ghost. Unlike at the start of the game in the tutorial where the flower petals are all red symbolizing Jin being under the samurai code this time there are white petals showing his battle between the samurai code and the ghost. It only until he walks out of those red petals into the white ones where he fully accepts his fate as the ghost.

The scream that Jin cries out after killing Shimura is so haunting.

[sandonmynips]

The controller vibrates to his heartbeat when you kill this game is so good!

[Killzoneguy]

"Why is he running?"

"Because we have to chase him"

"Why? He didn't do anything wrong"

"Because he's the hero Tsushima deserves. But not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not a Samurai. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector, the Ghost of Tsushima"

I cried hard at the ending of granting his uncle a death. In Japan... Being denied a warriors death is worse than disgracing the honor code. Hurt in the feels that it came down to this

[Austin_Triebe]

This was honestly one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make in a video game

[henryviii]

I think people are viewing the sparing angle from a too western centric lens. In most of our modern day societies, yes it would be the far more kind option to spare your uncle. But this is 12th century Japan, even if you believe Jin left all that honor stuff behind, he still loved his uncle, and his uncle loved him. Giving him an honorable death is not only the more culturally sensible thing to do, seeing as he'd likely be forced to commit seppuku anyway, but it is also Jin's last act of love towards the man who raised him. You've got to remember that these people are both shinto and Buddhist, so their concerns dont align with our own when it comes to facing death.

When lord shimura refers to killing Jin as “his punishment” twice, it feels like as if he’s trying to convince himself, god this game was good

[canerg]

Honestly killing Shimura made me cry a bit, the last dialogue was probably the best I ever witnessed in a game. If it wasn't for Shimuras honour, I'd have spared him. The "honour me with a warriors death" thing got me.
