Out of all the games sinc🌸e Unisoft took an RPG approach to the franchise, this has to be the most balanced game in that regard. Odyssey and Valhalla gave the options to play either stealthy of more head on but now we have two characters who are both of those play styles and there design reflects that. Yasuke not being able to parkour or swan dive matches his character as he is a bodyguard, trained to use weapons and to fight while Naoe is train in Shinobi art or spy and espionage so she is stealthy and fast, with a lower health bar to reflect that as apposed to Yasuke who is a warrior in full samurai armour able to take more hits and deal more damaged because he is the 'tank' charcater. It works and I feel people dislike him because we are so used to having a character who is a gifted assassin to begin with, instead we get both halves of that coin in Yasuke and Naoe.
