Story and Setting

Ghost of Yotei is set in Ezo, Japan, (now Hokkaido) specifically around mount Yotei. You play as the vengeful protagonist; Atsu, who seeks revenge upon the Yotei six, and especially lord Saito, who killed her family when she was a child. Side characters help you on your mission by fighting with you or giving and selling you items and quests.

Characters

• Atsu: The protagonist, who you play as, who runs through through Ezo hunting down the Yotei six, mostly alone, while surviving their attacking forces and navigating the natural landscape.


• Jubei: Atsu's brother who also survived the attack on their family, and decides to fight back against the Yotei six in a different way than his sister: joining the Matsumae, A clan attempting to reclaim Ezo from the Yotei six and lord Saito.


• The Matsumae: The former controllers of Ezo, under the control of the Shogun and the Tokugawa Shogunate, who were much less harsh to their citizens than lord Saito and his clan. They are fighting against the Yotei six and their armies, but also don't particularly like Atsu and her ways.


• Lord Saito and the Yotei Six: The new ruling power over Ezo, who also killed Atsu's family when she was a child. These are the villains of the game, and you must defeat the other 5 before fighting lord Saito. They are a terrible force with their large armies and their prowess in combat


• The Wolf: a wolf who also hates the Yotei six, and you form a bond with the wolf throughout the game as it helps you fight and you help free other wolves captured by Saito's clan.


• Side Characters/Wolf Pack: Vendors or fighters who help you on your mission by selling or giving you items and quests, or fight with you as they have personal vendettas against the Yotei six.
