Eastern Characters?

[Asakarios]

Since this game has a lot of European characters, will it ever have things like samurai or historical ronin? As a self-taught Kenjutsu student, I would absolutely love to see Iaijutsu and Kenjutsu in a game such as this.
I would also adore seeing some Chinese characters and based sword fighting too.

The game aims at historical accuracy and is based in 17th century Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, so that's probably not going to happen. Would be cool though.

I did hear that people are learning to mod the game, so it might eventually be possible through modding?

[Lord Badong]

There are mods that reskin characters and replace weapons. I don't know if it's possible to mod in whole new characters with their own movesets.

I too would love to see the Jian in this game. I came here to post just this, then saw this post.

No. There are other games for samurais and ninjas, this is about a very specific place at a very specific time. There's a million games with what you want. Play them.

I think it might be possible in theory, but I'd rather have all moves mo-capped by fencers in this unique game. I'm cool with other mods like skins, sounds, models etc it's fun

The actual title is "Katana?"

There are realistic physics-based samurai fighting games? Where?

imagine there's an american football game, and every week a random dude asks if it's possible to have soccer implemented.

This has been implemented in the Chinese weapon mod and there are Japanese samurai mods etc. Look at Nexus mods to find them. As for implementation in the vanilla game it should be obvious by now that we as a community do not want that type of stuff. Its just not historically accurate and it annoys us for the reason Temujin mentions here.

Please tell me them then.

imagine see aztecs in japan during sengoku period

I simply would just be interested to see all these different ways to use a weapon go against each other. I've always had a passion for all different ways of combat. It's like an art form to me. It's already hard enough to find games that accurately represent this stuff.

[Asakarios]

I not only would love to see Asian arts of combat. But all the different strategies and tactics found across the whole world.

[Subutai]

And there are games for that. Shogun 2 if you want the tactics, Ghost of Tsushima if you want the sword play. There is also die by the blade, bushido blade and countless countless other samurai games. You would surely get mad if we wanted to put knights in Ghost of Tsushima or Cossacks in Shogun 2. So we as a community do not want that trollish behavior here either.

Plus Hellish Quart has a samurai mod on Nexus mods. Go download it or make/commission one yourself if its not good enough.

The fact you want exotic styles is all the more reason to keep this one accurate cause we will get to see 17th century Central European (and indeed Turkish/Tatar) styles that are never ever put in games aside from few exceptions. But there are mods if you want to see more so there is no reason to troll here.
