Backstory[]
Nate Fox of Sucker Punch said Jin Sakai "was raised in the code of the Samurai and he has to give up some ideas of who he thought he was to become the Ghost to save his home, and without spoiling anything I can say he has to make some personal sacrifices in order to do what is right for the people of the island.”[3]
"Jin finds another way and inevitably becomes the Ghost to protect and save his people. The Ghost becomes a larger than life character. Feared by the invaders, loved by the locals as their protector. Fox elaborates that, "as the player you get to decide how the Ghost evolves and where you put in your skillpoints, what kind of armor you wear and upgrade, so it’s very customizable."[3]

The preferred armor of the Ghost is stealth-focused and gives you specific advantages.[1] It has distinct black wraps, black cape, hazel brown straps, and a black mask. This makes it harder for enemies to detect you at night. This also terrifies all types of enemies except wild animals.
