PSA: You Don't Need To 100% Ghost Of Tsushima

The last thing standing in my way of the Platinum for Ghost of Tsushima was a hidden Trophy called Cooper Clan Cosplayer. The description was cryptic, but not especially confusing: "Dress up as a legendary thief." Though I'm not a fan, the GameSpot team and I figured out the reference immediately: Tsushima developer Sucker Punch's Sly Cooper franchise. I googled some pics of Sly Cooper, a raccoon who does heists, and went to work figuring out what items in Tsushima might constitute cosplay.

The trouble is, there are a lot of cosmetic items in Ghost of Tsushima, and none of them look particularly like what Sly Cooper wears. Several sets of in-game armor have unlockable color schemes similar to those in that game--Sly wears a blue tunic, a yellow scarf, and a red belt. But there are about eight armor sets and none of them look like sneaky raccoon thief gear. Also, the "raccoon" part feels important, so does "cosplay" require Jin to, uh, dress up as an animal?

This sent me spinning my wheels for a couple days. I got a few items that seemed essential to unlocking the Trophy, but I wasn't sure I was getting the combination right, or if I was missing something. After a while, I started to suspect there was more gear I needed but didn't yet have. Ghost of Tsushima tells you what rewards you get for each set of collectibles, and I'd gotten all the Vanity Gear that would seem to be part of this Trophy. But I didn't have all the Sashimono banners that unlock new horse saddles. I hadn't purchased every single armor dye. I didn't have full 100% completion--maybe that's what I needed to unlock some kind of Sly Cooper samurai armor or raccoon mask or floppy hat.
