This game follows a story and every story must come to an end, right? So my question is "do you ever plan on finishing the story?".

btw i don't want any "never-ending-story" gags

Depends on your definition of 'the story'. Sure, the story being told in the game at the moment will have to end some time, I'll run out of things to write for it and it'll get stagnant and terrible, however there's no reason this has to be the only story told, is there? What happens after the endgame? What happened before it? What happened in other places during it? There's no end to what stories can be told here, but there's a limit to how far those individual stories can go.

I'd really like to see what happened during the time of the shogun and even before that.

Ya, like ela said, I'd like to know what happened during the Prince of Blade era.
