The Yokai Quest..

[MythicRocfordson]

Put this game at 9/10 for me easily.

Someone said that this game doesn't have mythical/fantastical elements to it.

All I'm gonna say is keep playing if you haven't finished this quest

There are less fantastical element than in Odyssey,
There is a very subtle ghost in another quest (you might miss it and think he is a normal human being).
I personally crave for the supernatural content. I hope that they will have a DLC with a heavy supernatural hand ^_^

Ok, yes, you do get all of two (in my 100+ hours) very, very minor "supernatural" elements (you missed one, or maybe you failed to realise it's supernatural, you do meet a ghost). This is a far cry from what you had in previous AC (RPG) games. If anyone enjoyed the previous games for their fantastical elements they may be sorely disappointed when they play Shadows which is for 99.99% of its gameplay time grounded and "real", or at least much more "realistic" than any of the other games.

You have no ISU corrupted legendary enemies, there are no mythical beasts, you do not visit some alternate plane, Asgard, Atlantis etc whatsoever (maybe DLCs will change that), you do not even really get any actual ISU artifacts in the game. This is the most grounded AC game in a long, long, long time.

Quest "Restless Spirits" in Yamato. A particular NPC keeps showing up suddenly to speak to you throughout the quest even one time in the middle of a castle you're infiltrating. In other words, even though it's never said and he never does anything obviously supernatural, it's implied he's actually a spirit and not physically there.

But of course he could also just be an annoying stalker. Who knows? :)

You explain it so well! :)
I think it is also implied he is the son of a someone who, you learn later, has been dead for years. In a dialog / cut scene. Such quick reference it is easy to miss.

Actually, once you gather all tea sets and return them to the tea ceremony guy (sorry if I cannot recall his name, Sen something something) he will mention in passing how a certain character died several years back, confirming that the one characer you meet throughout this quest chain is indeed a ghost. He is referred to by name, so you know it's this particular man.

I would have found something like this much more palatable in Odyssey or even Valhalla than in a game that is otherwise almost entirely devoid of any ISU or supernatural elements. It feld decidely odd and tonally off.
