![]() ![]() If he was truly power hungry and was taking the clan down the "dishonorable" path he wouldn't have given up. Any doubt I may have had was thrown out the window when he got on his knees. When Orza tells you to cleanse the whole clan at the end that moral issue was exasperated 10 fold. I didn't notice it at first, but as soon as I did, I couldn't help but go the no kill approach. ![]() I started to feel really off when I started killing those guards and they turned into ninja. In essence she DID lie to you by leading you on. She's no where near you and talking in your head. Wait until you sneak past the guards at the first set of lights outside. She's probably just off screen somewhere close. When you're playing, you don't think about it. There's a lot of time when Orza's talking to you in your head. What also helped me in the decision was that Orza's for sure an illusion. Heck even if they did aim for him, he was for all intents and purposes a traitor helping a mad man who could bring ruin to the clan (which you most certainly do if you listen to him) And he was killed in the crossfire of the techno-nin chasing you. But then I remembered he was being tortured by bandits. He almost made me choose to kill the master. He saw the new technology as an affront to the tradition. But when I saw Dosen's grave I almost wavered. I had already made up my mind during that amazing final walk hallucination scene. The only breaking point I almost had with this conclusion was Dosen. Stealing technology that would allow them to compete in the 21st century. Your master knew that the plants were dead and he did was was necessary to ensure the survival of the clan. You think he's lying to you, because your alter ego is tempting you with some such about honor. Yes, your master is the blame for bringing the raid on the ninjas. The very first intro movie shows you without a mark clearly stealing from the main antagonist's guards. ![]() Killing yourself was by far the righteous path.The way I see it, everything that happens after you decide not to sacrifice yourself the first time is you slipping further into madness. It was pretty clear cut between the good and bad ending for me. Because if not, well, your ninja likely kills a whole lot of the clan when coming back. There is also the end points that Azai surrenders, does not attack and that if you get the scrolls, the original great ninja also spoke of the necessity of killing those with the mark. Kill everyone, thus ending the clan (and how will it continue with a mad hallucinating ninja in charge of no-one?), turning on your history, the traditions, your master. There is also one small line in the last mission that makes the kill Azai the bad ending, Ora says that the clan has no honour, and after Azai "we" will purge the whole clan. I think killing yourself is the better ending. Originally posted by Mazey:The first time through I killed Azai, but on my second it became very clear that the main character was entirely in favour of the original plan and it was only the mark that made him forget his part in it and start believing that the clan had lost its honour.Īgreed. Why would he do that if he had no knowledge of the plan? Remember that the ninja took the first mark before the mercenaries attacked for the first time. Azai never explicitly explains all the details, but that's simply because in the time-line of the game, Azai believed that the ninja already knew everything, so why bother explaining again? Why would he act like that if he was trying to keep his plan a secret? Far more likely is that he believed the ninja was already aware was everything because he had agreed to take part. The stolen items are there in plain view as the ninja walks to his final sacrifice the first time. He never acts in a manipultive manner or hides things. Given the order these occur, it's very clear to me that the ninja took the mark in the first place in order to attack the mercenaries and steal their equipment and the appearence of it as a dream was the mark's way of convincing the ninja that it never really occurred, even though it did.įurther, whenever the ninja talks to Azai, he acts reasonably, he only chases the ninja down because he sees that the mark is sending him mad. Watch the first cutsense, it shows the ninja having a dream of attacking the mercenaries, and then he wakes to the mercenaries retribution. The first time through I killed Azai, but on my second it became very clear that the main character was entirely in favour of the original plan and it was only the mark that made him forget his part in it and start believing that the clan had lost its honour. ![]()
