I'll just drop this here. It's clear what your intentions are. I was assuming they picked the definition based on what it could mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is your Ninja definition: Reveal hidden contents Then no the game is not about ninjas. But if that is your definition of ninja: Reveal hidden contents Then this game is about ninjas. Exactly. This game is all about Cyborg Ninjas and Ninja magi-tek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarmakX99 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 The tagline, "Ninjas play free" is talking about us, the players. We're the ninjas, and we're playing a game for free. The game also happens to be about playing as crazy cyborg ninja terrorist murderhobos with space magic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakais Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 The gist of the "Ninjas Play for Free" claim is DE's definition of a ninja. Theirs is more along the lines of Ninja Gaiden and it's ilk. The sort of "power fantasy ninja". Where they are superhuman powerful and success of the mission is doing as much flashy damage as possible and murdering everything with overwhelming power. Many would draw parallels with anime depictions. When I think ninja, the first thing I see is Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell. Where the success of the mission depends on patience, skill and knowledge. This is where you are underpowered in the traditional sense. Outnumbered and outgunned, with your only hope of victory being to play the battlefield itself to your favor and where a single mistake can spell disaster. The of course there's the history aspect. The game really did start off more ninja-y. Enemies were fewer but more dangerous. Our powers were more finicky and not as world-shattering powerful. We're still "ninjas" but the context has gone more towards the flashy power-fantasy side. We have all the attributes of those types of ninjas. Crazy gadgets and weapons, insane mobility, weird and near god-like powers that set us far above the rank-n-file grunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alltaken Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 What! You think a peacock with a synthesizer and an autonomous driving ghettoblaster is not ninja-style?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanujCZ Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) Fun fact: Tenno=/=ninja Tenno are warriors, seriously dont think that they are ninja just because "ninjas play free" or because they just look like ninja. Also Wukong doesnt looks like ninja? *looks at Atlas and Rhino* Well he's not the only one. PS. Ash is based on ninjas. Edited April 22, 2017 by DanujCZ I had this stupid idea.

We have weapons from all over not just Asia. Wording? Well honor and the likes again aren't just an Asian thing. Names.. They are names from a point far into the future were all culture has combined. Play style... Eh yes it takes some keys from anime. It's called a dojo though, and have you ever seen all the different stuff you can place inside it, seems pretty Japanese fair point on weapons dont remember where I was going with wording but ever notice the posing? names like lotus seem to remind me of Asia and nikana ash again, stealth based with an ability that has shuriken, wukong seems pretty martial arties with his abilities being bare on his staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wukong was taken from Chinaframe and is based off of Son Wukong (the monkey king from Journey to the West) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warframe has ninja and non ninja stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
