Hey team ninja! When are you going to update the game to be able to steal the flying swallow move the ninja dojo master does. I wanted that shit since nioh 1 and sword could use a another cool skill.

That's strange... Phantom is the one where you parry while staying in the same place. Don't you mean Feral, the one where you make a dash toward the enemy ?
Oh yeah, that's the one.
I'm thinking maybe it's just a difficulty of that counter with some types of attacks, it's got a fast start up but struggles with enemy attacks that move a lot if you're locked on.
Yeah, with Feral you have to make the dash during the enemy active frame attack, so it can be a bit tricky depending of the opponent. You'll get used to it.
The timing on several of these combos seems intended to punish mashing the dash, as if you get hit once and keep dashing, you'll get hit by every hit, so the player has to be a bit more intentional about the timing.
70 hours later, finally finished this!
That was a great ride. The trick to keeping it varied was keeping switching weapon types throughtout. By the time I finished the last mission, I had a good 7 or 8 weapon types ate 120,000 affinity, while always maintaning a Switchglaive as the main weapon in a pinch.
All that said...
wow wow wow this is the most nonsensical story I've maybe ever seen in a game. I skipped no cutscenes, I paid attention, and I have no idea what really happened.

Whats with accessories dropping defense. I will equip one that is level 160+3 that adds 91 defense. I go to temper it and play a mission them i see the defense dropped to 60. All of my old accessories have better stats than it now. What gives? Its driving me mad.
If you temper an accessory, it's dropping to 60 - 71 defense. You'll see this right at the temper screen.
That's what I figured but I wanted confirmation. Do you think it's better to keep the defense or too temper to your build? I'm leaning towards build but +25 and up defense is a lot i feel.
I prefer tempering toward my build. Much more important IMO than even +50 def.
That's what I was thinking. I guess I will just take whatever accessory i have that has the most slots on it and temper away.
Don't forget you can do the new missions in NG as well, for more locks and umbracite.
Game is part of the Deal of the Week in the PS Store, at least the European one. Both regular and deluxe versions are €20 cheaper.
I wanted to wait until a bigger sale, but the more I see about this game, the more I want to play it. Funny the difference a custom protagonist can make, since I had no trouble skipping Nioh 1 altogether.

The character creator is pretty good itself too. You can also fully redo and save your creations from the hut on the world map which is great.
Definitely worth the purchase if you like this type of game.

The character creator in this game is mind blowing.
And yes, play this game. It's truly remarkable.
Sounds good!
Civ 6 receives a big update today, so I am going to check that out first. But I look forward to picking up Nioh 2 in a couple of days.
Played for a couple hours last night, finished the first level with no deaths! Game is fantastic so far, but is there no way to switch to Japanese voices?
Any tips for combat because it's just not clicking for me so far. I'm on the second stage and getting trashed by Yokai. Humans are easy but Yokai seem to randomly switch between stun locked and hitting me in the middle of my combos.
I chose the basic katana and the kusarigama as my starting weapons. The kusarigama is fire so far and I'm loving it. The katana not so much. Low stance doesn't seem to do enough damage, high stance is slow as fuck and middle just seems trash.
What am I doing wrong?

Most Yokai don't stagger until you deplete their ki first, so try dodging behind them and then attacking. Once you've depleted their ki, the purple bar will turn red and you'll be able to continuously attack them until they recover and leave a Yokai realm pool on the ground.
I haven't really had experience playing Souls games. The closest to that genre/complex of a game I've played is Monster Hunter World & Iceborne (I have around 300 hours in and really love).
Is this game overly difficult? It looks interesting and I like the setting. Honestly I don't want to die a lot, just something chill to play for awhile and saw it was deal of the week on PSN.
Haven't played any soulsborne games, and I've mostly been disinterested in them because of how frustrated my friends get because they constantly die in them. Thanks.

If you hate dying, play something else. It's a great game - my GOTY so far- but you'll die a lot. Once you get good, it's not that bad. It's just a while to get there.
Thanks! Maybe when it gets to like $20 I'll check it out then. I'm okay with dying in games, but not like to the points where my friends get really mad like dark souls.
Monster Hunter is fine for me, though. But I did the entirety of that game + iceborne solo, only MP after I beat the quests.
I guess what I should say, is I'm okay with difficulty, but I'm not in the mood to experience something excruciating difficult.
Thank you!
I havent played Nioh 2 yet and dont really have patience for souls games but i can tell you sekiro is the game you want to play not this. Sekiro has no stamina meter and makes the game about blocking and 1 hit stealth kill attacks. I actually got to the final boss in that game. Its much easier in my opinion then nioh 1 and bloodborne, while delivering awesome samurai action.
Winds of ruin (recently added) in the last zone is the best one I think.

Like someone else mentioned, it's not random. Your main goal with Yokai is to try and drain their Ki. Once they have no ki, all of your attacks will stagger them. If you try to wail on them while they still have ki, the bigger Yokai will just smash you in the face.
So play cautiously, dodge their attacks and punish, use burst counters and once they are at zero ki, go all in.
Also, don't hesitate to pick another weapon if you don't like the ones you're using now. You are not locked into using any weapons.
before the newly added content it was the mission with the last boss, since it's fairly short, have good amount of enemies, and it's also good for farming gears.
still took a long ass time though. I primarily focused on getting +10 on my gears (haven't happened) and got to 300 by accident.
if youhaven't already, make sure you use the spell that gives you Amrita when you hit enemies. Makes it far easier
Cool thanks for the help guys. Also when it comes to leveling certain stats say they help certain weapons. If I haven't been putting points into that stat should I use the weapon?

Generally you should allocate your stats to benefit the weapons you are using. There's a threadmark in the thread that indicates which stats benefit which weapons and to what degree, since weapons benefit from more than one stat. This allows to have synergy between your two weapons.
Of course, since you are still figuring out the game, you can't really be expected to know which weapons you like. So my recommendation would be: forget about stats for a bit and try out the weapons. Pick the ones you like the best and then build your character around them; not the other way around. You can always respec using a Book of Reincarnation.
For beginners, I feel the Odachi is a good choice, since it has a lot of reach, hits really hard, has good crowd control and scales with strength, which allows you to wear heavy armor which in turn gives you damage mitigation and tenacity (which determines how easily enemies stagger you).
I was waiting to play this because I'm currently at my parents house for some time and I have to use their 1080p tv instead of my KS8000. I saw it on sale yesterday and decided to not wait any longer. I'm in the first mission still and haven't reached the boss but I already like it more than og Nioh. I didn't finish og and was contemplating finishing it before I play part 2. I'm so glad I didn't wait.
I notice that I can't Soul Match an orange inheritable onto a weapon/armor piece sometimes...and I'm not sure why despite the sacrifice being at max familiarity. What exactly are the requirements for an orange inheritable to work, and what can stop it from working?

Why does late-game medium armour have to be so incredibly heavy? There's sets I want to use, but some are even heavier than actual heavy armour sets. I've been putting lots of points into stamina, but it feels like a waste when it does nothing for the attack of weapons I use.
Tempering - effects category table
It's because you have already on the armor/weapon a special effect of the same group of the one you want to put in it. Here is the table :
Nioh2_TemperTable
Melee Familarity,Familarity 0,999,0,999 Life Drain,Life Drain (Quick Attack),22,24,Attack Ki Consumption,Melee Attack Ki Consumption,-5.4%,-5.6% Life Drain (Melee Attack),20,22,Melee Ki Consumption (Critical),-7.2%,-7.4% Life Drain (Final Blow),201,251,Active Skill Ki Consumption,-6.7% Life Dra...
Basically, you can't have 2 special effects of the same group.
No wonder. Just used the table and yeah the weapon does conflict with an orange inheritable I have. Thanks for clearing that upIt's because you have already on the armor/weapon a special effect of the same group of the one you want to put in it. Here is the table :

Basically, you can't have 2 special effects of the same group.
Same principle when certain special effects never appear in the tempering page. It's because the the weapon/armor already got a special effect of the same group.
