WHY THE GRANNIES!?

[The Toast of Kyiv]

Sooner or later in the game you come across an enemy which is an old woman who alerts other combatant enemies to your vicinity if she spots you. Though she herself isn't an actual combatant and won't harm you. In fact she just tries to pathetically run away after alerting enemies. Though you can kill them.

Weren't shinobi's supposed to be "honorable" and stuff? Not really honorable to kill unarmed people even if they hinder you in any way unless they attack you, or inadvertadely aid your enemies with their loud wailing.

Since when are shinobis honorable?

A shinobi would know the difference between honor and victory, amirite?

I don't actually know if they were. I'm just assuming they were as honor was kinda a big thing back in Japan during those times. So much so that it could get you killed...

They weren't. That was the entire ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ point. They didn't fight in the open, they used "dirty" tactics, they used poison, etc.

Sneaking around isn't honorable either, you know. Preferably you should always announce yourself to your opponent instead of stabbing them in the back.

There's no dishonor in victory, but there sure is in defeat :^)

The hardest bosses in the game are also old men and women.

Think about it.

Basically what you're thinking of is the Samurai who lived by a code for the most part. Sure Samurai could abandon any sort of code or lord and wind up a Ronin, but large in part they were revered as honorable, and many died by simply shaming themselves and committing ritual suicide through seppukku. Shinobi on the other hand were basically spies/assassins and did the opposite of what was honorable for the most part. Sure they no doubt had their own codes they adhered to, but they weren't against using anything at their disposal to complete their objective, so in that sense yes, they were honorbound to complete their objectives, but not in the traditional sense that samurai were anyways whom followed the way of Bushido.

Hahahah no as others said Shinobis/ninjas are anything but honorable. Anything is allowed as long as the mission is complete. Its samurai's who are all about honor.

That can be said about almost every other semi-realistic game, but okay.

Mostly because you are trying to kill them though. It's not like they are searching for you on purpose.

This. Shinobi were about everything dishonorable. The last thing they wanted to do was a fair one-on-one sword duel or something like that.

OP is thinking of samurai.

I mean, I dunno about you, but I usually don't play games where the end goal is to beat up a grandpa.

Well what if that grandpa was a super evil guy that wanted to have immortality by any means even if it involves sacrificing innocent family members and potentially dooming the entire world while attempting it? Oh and uses monsters and or demons to prolong his life as much as possible while he's at it too.

[DireAct]

Shinobi's aren't really Honorable with their tactics, but they can have Mercy, two very distinct characteristics.

Wouldn't you kill a screaming grannie thats alerting an army of your presence?
