I am pretty sure the Major is going to be one of the two Ryoken 9 troops, one because she is the face of that particular homage and two, because other preorder exclusives, the maverick biker, yuan yuan and CSU never got box art.
Then worst fears become true... Great, next BoW campaign expect YuJing participation around Aleph and Tohaa levels, if not lower...
I think ALEPH will continue it's normal behavior of being friendly to everyone but Nomads as it's goals are not affected by the concept of nationality.
Did they show this without any concrete info on what people already using JSA in their YJ should do? If this causes mass rage then I am afraid its all on CB. Its probably in Aleph's better interest if YJ remains a worthy challenger to PanO and give the AI more to bargaining power and bargaining motive.
Right now I'd bet money on certain JSA units being Mercs and available in Vanilla YJ. Probably not Keisotus but I don't see Ninja's going anywhere.
Oh-h, I see. To be fair though, this means I can mostly focus on my JSA for the time being. Sucks that they are dropping out of Vanilla Yu Jing since I did want to start them but this is better for me for now.
Considering that Ninjas and the Oniwaban are technically mercs, I can see them still having profiles in Yu Jing. Though not sure for Shinobu Kitsune.
I reckon they'll either still have access to Ninjas as Mercs or more likely there are still "loyalist" Japanese in Vanilla (or more likely their families are held hostage so they continue to serve and train YJ forces as before).
So who else might move to Unaligned? I'm thinking the Haq Bikers will as they also don't really fit in.
Only Saito Togan is a technically a merc. Making them mercs means a lot for Soldiers of Fortune play.
So now that we are losing a big chunk of our roster, can YJ please have increased AVA on Guilang, Daofei and Hac tao to make up for it? It's only fair.
Kasym Beg has a regular Lt. profile, which shows that a Khanate sectorial is probably in the pipeline.
Well I mean 'mercs' in the sense that they are not really loyal to either faction. Should have been clear on that so my apologies.
This is super exciting, and we know there's a new Oniwaban sculpt so well at least see elite ninja in NA2 JSA....just after I finished converting Nakadai into a new scale oniwaban
Interesting. Just reread the copy and it says "Providing some new sculpts of already known units" so does that mean some repacks or just wonky translation issue?
