From my time playing the preview build, the Ainu culture isn’t front-and-center like a documentary, but it is woven respectfully into the setting. There are shrines, animal motifs, and certain dialogue lines that directly echo Ainu traditions. It feels more like an inspiration rather than a 1:1 cultural simulation. That’s probably the right approach, so it doesn’t come off as exploitative.

Alright, edition dilemma time—I've been down this road with Tsushima, so here's the deal on Ghost of Yōtei's Standard vs. Deluxe. The Standard edition is your straight-up base game for $69.99, which gets you the full epic adventure in snowy Hokkaido, all the core story, side quests, and that killer combat system—totally worth it if you're just dipping your toes in. But the Digital Deluxe bumps it to $79.99 (or $10 upgrade if you snag Standard first), and that's where the extras shine: you get 48-hour early access starting yesterday (Oct 1), so some of us are already knee-deep in the prologue; a digital art book with concept sketches of Atsu and the Yōtei landscapes; the original soundtrack to blast while grinding; and exclusive in-game cosmetics like a unique Ainu-patterned armor set and fox companion skin. No physical goodies in Deluxe, that's for the pricier Collector's at $249.99 with statues and all. Main diff? Deluxe is for the die-hards wanting that head start and flair without breaking the bank. If you're on the fence, upgrade later—super easy. What're you grabbing?

To build on the first response, while the PS5 handles the core requirements, it's worth noting that if you have the PS5 Slim model, you'll be playing the exact same game with the same performance. The physical requirements are just the console and enough SSD space to install the game. The game features enhanced graphics and smoother performance compared to Ghost of Tsushima on the older hardware. Make sure you have the latest PS5 system software updates installed, as this often includes optimization improvements that can enhance the game's use of features like the Tempest 3D AudioTech—which is amazing for pinpointing where enemies are in the mountainous Ezo landscape!
