Constant rain since visiting Iki

[Ansgar Odinson]

When I first started the game, the weather was well varied. However, ever since doing the Iki Island stuff, Tsushima is just constant rain, rain, and more rain. I can clear it for a couple minutes with the flute, and then its back to pouring rain. Anyone else have same issue? Anyone know how to fix it?

I like the storms and rain. It creates the right atmosphere for the game world. Sunny is boring.

ally since very often only the hostage in the immedate area you started the fight is in danger since for some reason the enemies around the other hostages dont seem to hear or see that there is a fight going on in thair camp/occupied village.

as long as you always attack the enemy with the red circle with the skull in it in time you are fine.

and yes, the thing with the weather depending on how you fight is absolutely true.

It doesn´t matter if you can save them full frontal attack. Point is: They are rescued and enemies are dead. So we have same results, just with stupid rambo style, or clever ninja style. If there was option to talk them into joining your cause and everybody is alive and happy, then yes, you are "good and killing them is bad", but both ways are killing. There is nothing honorable about killing people, it is just necessity if they invade you country. Or if you can "knock them out" like in Dishonored, or Hitman, it will be also difference. But killing is killing.
I enjoyed this sneaky style, this is best Assassin´s creed in last years. But this punishment make no sense and the stupide weather driving me crazy. Ou, you saved our people, you saved our island, all our villages and secure future for our children. Great, but you didn´t it our way, so we renounce you and gods punish you for all your good deeds by bad weather.

thats your modern view on things, back then there was honor in killing in certain circumstances and in certain cultures this is true even to this day.

for some people there was a difference between fighting with honor and figthing without honor and the concept of what is considered honorable varies greatly between time periods, cultures and individual views.

Use the Flute... to change the weather :)
4 songs for 4 types of weather. (Default one is Sunny. The other songs require you to hunt crickets.)

Yes, some cultures saw things differently, or still see. Like europeans and asians will die for their childrens, but muslims will kill their daughters if they refuse to obey forced marriage, to protect family honor.
But this is irresponsible, attack head straight and risking lives of hostages. You keep your honor even at the price of lives. Same as when someone lead other men to death, because he wants to die honorably. What if women poison bandits that wants to kill her children - she is weak but this will be dishonourable - she should be punished?
But if you watch some time period dramas from Japan, you knew that it wasn´t just that. Samurais were different, some will die for honor, some stole from government and were lazy and abuse their subject. Some Japanese even laught that only western people are obsessed with "japanese honor". Samurais, Ronins, Shoguns, they were only humans with their needs and desires and faults and weaknesses.
That is why I don´t like gods sending rain on me. If only Jins uncle was hard at him, then OK - I will not like him, but it will be accepatble. But not to have gods or natures punishment. I like it in Saboteur, when occupied France was black and white and aftter you liberate its parts, then they became full color. Here it will be nice to have bad weather and more you free island, more nice weather we have.

Dont try to bring real world culture or history into this. The "honor" code of this game is completely fictional. While Samurai did have a code, stealth tactics and intelligent warfare did not violate them. The "honor code" featured in this game is a modern romanticization based on kabuki theater.

Read the original post again. "I can clear it for a couple minutes with the flute, and then its back to pouring rain."

It was a glitch that presented after Iki island. Fortunately it fixed itself after a story mission.

no, the honor code in this game is jins uncles personal understanding of honor which he tried to pass to jin while jin was growing up under him after his fathers death.

the cutsceen when jin gets back his sword after the intro battle makes that clear.

Except its also the Shogun's law. And a standard all other samurai hold him to as well.

This is why:

Play the game without following the samurai code, stealthily killing Mongols instead of facing them directly, and you'll actually see storms more frequently. It serves as a constant reminder of how far you are straying from the traditional path, and also helps to cover your tracks.

In an interview with Ghost of Tsushima creative director Nate Fox, he told me, "The game is definitely scripted to provide more storms as you do things which are extremely Ghost driven."

It's a rather clever feature. Jin is an unrelenting force of nature in Ghost of Tsushima, abandoning his identity to embrace the symbolic power of the Ghost in order to defeat the Mongols via means that lack honor. At the start of the game, you'll likely defeat most enemies with the tools of the samurai as they'll be all you have access to. But as encounters increase in difficulty and you unlock new Ghost skills, the game naturally encourages you to adopt a more stealth-focused approach.

As you stop using the skills of the samurai and begin relying on those of the Ghost, the in-game world will change to match your playstyle--transforming the gentle breezes that the enemy Mongols first encounter upon invading the island into a constant bombardment of terrifying winds, booming thunder, and flashes of lightning. Because it will be storming more often, areas will naturally be darker too, which further sells the idea of Jin dishonorably engaging his opponents when they can't see him.

Basically, yes, it has a valid reason and it isn't the first time the developer has done something like this.

Apparently the weather pattern correlates to your samurai (more sunny) versus Ghost (storm and rain) playstyle.

I'm still in act I but I can see the difference when I'm doing standoffs versus stealth kills.

Nguyên văn bởi Darth Revan:

The weather is influenced by your playstyle.

If you do unhonorable things like stealth kills for example it will rain way more often than it does when you fight with honor.

People keep saying that, and I can pretty much guarantee it's bullsh*t.
I go way out of my way to avoid doing stealth kills, and the weather is stormy/rainy all the same most of the time in Act 2.

And it's been that way every single playthrough I did on PS5.

Pretty sure it's just an Act2 thing, very weird and idiotic design choice, imo, as the landscapes look MUCH better during sunny weather.

The code of honor in the game is Tsushima's Samurai code of honor, not Jin's uncle's that was passed on as his uncle also inherited it from the predecessors of Tsushima. This is why countless story characters shame Jin for his actions, Ishikawa notably so in his entirely ironic hypocrisy.

It's like you purposefully missed the core character conflict between Jin and Shimura...

Regardless if you agree with it or not, the game presents the stances as:

Shimura: Be honorable, don't stab your enemy in the back or use underhanded tactics, fight them like a man, face-to-face

Jin: Do whatever I need to to win, stab em in the back, throw dirt in their eye, kick them in the nuts, whatever.

first of all not all of the samurai since we are told that there are deserters of shimuras army who wanted to join the ghost and it did not seem to be the understanding of honor of jins father either.

secondly the dialoge lines of shimura do not sound like the shoguns judgement was based on an honor code but more on jins insubordination and the fact that people on the island look up to him/follow him and the potential threat to the shoguns authority over the island that goes with that.

of course there is always the possibility that i am misinterpreting the dialoge but thats what it sounds like to me.

You play like a filthy thief. Fight with honour and it'll stop.

When he is first arrested, it wasnt for insubordination. Its for "dishonorable acts" which break the shogun's law.

You can interpret it however you like. But the samurai honor code in this game is based on romanticized fiction from kabuki theater.
