In Birushana: Rising Flower of Genpei, each of Shanao''s five suitors is a man truly unto himself. Benkei is a kind monk, if somewhat dense. Noritsune is a fiery soul with a desire to confront his regrets. Tomomori is... well, that''s complicated. And Yoritomo Minamoto is a cold and cunning soldier marching towards an inevitable war.
Yoritomo is a fascinating figure. There are issues to him, and their root causes, which may have started with a hard-knock upbringing but have evolved into something more. It''s not easy to court him, but it''s promise of enormous rewards.
As stat growth is an integral part of Birushana''s gameplay, we''ll be sure to let you know when a decision boosts Shanao''s Strength, Knowledge, or Kindness meters. For Yoritomo, we''ll focus on a powerful combination of strength and knowledge, with only occasional acts of kindness.
Getting to Know Yoritomo
Shanao will take some time to travel with Yoritomo in Birushana: Rising Flower of Genpei. However, don''t take that as a result of the fact that Yoritomo Minamoto is the one most significant character in the game, but it is possible that the journey to reach him is breathtaking. The writers have no time to put an effort into making Yoritomo''s first impression striking.
Shanao''s potential reactions will be locked into either shock or aggression. Truth be told, it''s difficult to imagine anyone reacting to Yoritiomo''s early dealings with anything else. But dig deeper and demonstrate your own great wisdom and courage. Do not be intimidated, but do understand.
