wow old blog is old.

"armor of lapulapu" - bahag lang halos suot ni lapulapu. lol.

weapons? pwede! andameng variants pero usually same function lang as their counterparts anywhere else around the globe. ewan pa kung comparable in quality.

secret locations? highly doubt our ancestors were -that- ingenious.

then there's the whole problem of historical accuracy. basically everyone has a skewed version of how history turned out in the philippines due to the cultural biases of those who had the power to influence their peers. nobody bothers to learn multiple points of view (unless they're required readings in universities), always deferring to the common stereotypes of eras gone by: foreigners bad, jose rizal good, etc etc.

an AC game set in the philippines would just leave more people scratching heads than having fun. reasonably "historically accurate" philippine AC game = i don't think this is possible. all i can see on this is a "historically accurate" philippine AC game that's really just nothing but pandering to the common misconceptions and stereotypes of the past.

and then what's a pinoy assassin gotta do with the current impending end of the world? AFAIK that and the whole templars vs assassins thing are some of the main driving forces of the series and there's no first civ tech of any kind on the islands that may warrant an expedition there. your shrugs are as good as mine.

tl;dr: good idea in theory but that's just it. not enough material and reason to have an entire game on this. give it a few years if the assassin's creed franchise survives that long, maybe something will come up that'll not make the setup seem out of nowhere.
