Wrapping up map 2 now. Taking my time and enjoying this one to the fullest. Maining tonfas; skill-tree is arguably one of the best thought-out in the game for weapon, IMO. There's feint that I'd earlier wishlisted given its inherent pressure game (i.e., cancelling out ATK animation into Demon Dance) as well as options to close in on foe that soften early range concerns. Eats enemy ki for graveward grapple and the proper martial-art kicks, sweeps have been visual icing on the cake. Like my kusa crutch in the original, I here swap to switchglaive when in trouble but I'm trying to break the habit and compensate with poison and water endowments.
Dark Realm is a great addition but ones with falls-to-death or verticality prove a bother for me; the limited visibility makes sense but any compromise in FoV really hampers when some Yokai near busy the screen either in here-there activity or sheer size.
Can dawg samurai confirm with Nioh 2 book of reincarnation that its cost increases exponentially with each purchase? Haven't bought one yet but am already seeing odds, ends misinvested.
I can't remember seeing a roadmap for DLCs (other than their being in store) but seeing the first of three around the time I wrap up the campaign would be cool.
