Listen up, the early game in Ghost of Yotei is all about survival and flexibility, so you shouldn't be hunting for one "best" set right away. Instead, focus on two key sets that cover your core playstyles: Stealth and Direct Combat. 1. The Seeker's Garb: This is your early-game Ghost armor, and you'll get it super early by completing one of Atsu's very first major quests in the starting region, Ezo. It massively boosts your stealth capabilities, making it easier to chain assassinations and stay hidden. It's an absolute must for clearing smaller camps and outposts quietly. Upgrade it quickly at the Armorer—the first few material tiers are easy to find and the perks, like reduced detection speed, are invaluable. 2. The Ronin's Attire: I found this one surprisingly useful even as a combat player. It focuses on your resolve generation and gives a nice bump to your melee damage. You snag this by following a Mythic Tale that the Guiding Wind points you toward after you hit Act 1 properly. While you might replace it later, the Resolve boost is critical for healing and using powerful abilities, which is essential when you're still mastering the new parry timings! Don't sleep on upgrading its look either; the early-game customization is half the fun!
Let's not forget the religious and philosophical elements! The game explores the complex relationship and sometimes syncretism between Shinto and Buddhism, which was a defining feature of Japanese spiritual life. You'll visit shrines and temples that feel truly alive, and the concept of karma and impermanence (mujo) subtly influences the narrative. The way the spirit world (yokai) interacts with the physical one is also rooted in Japanese folklore. It's not just a backdrop; these beliefs directly affect gameplay and story choices.
