Soulsborne fans are you giving Sekiro a chance?

I don't understand, is this even a question？
Are there real people disappointed？ Most comments I saw are people wanting a break from souls and From to work on something new.

Of course, it looks amazing! I'm also looking forward to something different, both in setting and mechanics.
This is me right there.
No pvp is a huge turn off for me. The way souls games make people interact with each other results in a totally unique online experience. It is something I connect intrinsically to souls games.
Will perhaps buy when heavily discounted a year or two down the road.
I'm interested in it, but also worried about getting stuck on a boss. I loved Bloodborne, but I co-coped quite a few bosses.
If people say it's harder than Nioh, then I'll probably skip it.
A huge chunk of comments I see in Sekiro threads are from disappointed people that just want Dark Souls 4. Probably a vocal minority but Idk.
The core mechanics are totally different. That has been the biggest take-away from all the previews. Here is one: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1TkfBIChMZc
Definitely, FROM games always scratch that itch, even though it's not Dark Souls, I really enjoy their world building. But this month I went with Metro and DMCV, will pick Sekiro up in a couople of months :)
I guess my lack of excitement about it is that I am more hyped for Nioh 2 and Ghost of Tsushima that Sekiro. Not really a knock on Sekiro overall and it will likely be better than those two games but I am just more excited about the other two for different reasons.
As far I'm concerned this is the next entry to the souls series. I know the game is a lot different, but theyre cut from the sameness cloth. I love the games for the worlds and gameplay. The RPG mechanics will be missed but I ain't gonna skip on the game cause of it.
I'm giving it a chance, but not at launch this time. I'm sure it will be enjoyable, but I just have no hype for it at all so I feel like I can easily wait for a good sale on this one.
I'm a huge Souls fan who doesn't want a break from it at all and I'm not particularly excited about Sekiro.
The most interesting parts of Souls games for me are build variety, especially with magic-focused or magic-only builds, co-op, and online PvP/covenant interactions.
(That's also why DS2 is actually my favourite game in the series)
From Software is one of the Top 3 developers out there (with a minimum of 3 great games)...CD Projekt Red honestly needs Cyberpunk 2077 to be a big hit otherwise they'll be known as The Witcher guys...Naughty Dog is probably the best console exclusive developer...so From Soft might actually be #1 on the list for me
Maybe mechanics was the wrong word. Core design philosophies? It's a difficult game set in a mysterious world with lots of secrets to discover and little the way of guidance. To me that's the core of the Soulsborne games and the same is true here. Of course combat and character progression are different, but... that's minor in my opinion.

Yeah i played through all of the souls games and bloodborne solo for the most part, but there were always 2-3 bosses i needed some help with.
Taking away that safety net for an even harder game fills me with dread lol.
Im SUPER excited for it. FromSoft has not let me down yet, and I like that they are trying something different and new!
Definitely. I am one hundred percent behind From following their ambitions and making what they want than wringing themselves dry with Souls. Their success has given them the possibility to try out other things and I am really excited to get my hands on it.
No. The 'role-playing' element in Souls game are huge deal for me. And I'm ashamed to admit that I use summons (either NPC or other players) for some of the bosses.
Already preordered. The fact that it's a faster single-player-focused action-adventure but still with a large RPG element due to all the upgrade trees is a huge part of the appeal
I want this more than every souls game before (and I played and liked them all).
Maximum hype for me!

Haha this gif basically sums of my intial reaction to seeing this thread. I've been a fan of From Software since they were putting out amazing action games of all sorts on the original Xbox. I'm still waiting for Otogi 3. Of course I'm in for Sekiro.
Why are people saying there are no RPG elements? The previews showed a ton of skill trees and upgrade trees and buffs/status effects, including what seems like special upgrade synergies between certain prosthetics, that should allow for a nice range of builds within the specific character mold
I think it looks great and definitely will play it at some point, but not at launch. The character creation, creating and playing with builds (I know this game still does have some), and online mechanics were my favourite parts of Dark Souls and to a lesser extent Bloodborne. I also have a bit of a backlog at the moment that i'm happy to work through. Definitely excited for this game, but i'm in no rush to play it.
I actually said in a post on here a few days ago that I would wait until it was cheap like $20 until I pick up Sekiro but after lurking the preview thread i'm debating making it a day 1 buy. I'm actually not even a Souls fan. Only played the beginning of Bloodborne and that was because of PS+.
Getting more and more interested in Sekiro though.

There's your answer, there's only one character mold. Thus, there's only one possible way to tackle the content the game has to offer, because everything is balanced toward that one mold.
My new year's resolution is to spend as little as possible on games this year, so far only bought Wargroove, could hold myself back from NSMBUDX, Resident Evil 2, Kingdom Hearts III and DMC V but I'm not sure if I can not buy Sekiro when it launches, the temptation is too high. :c
Maybe there's some obscure arcane tool aka prosthetic tool only build lol.
That's how I feel, would love to see a Miyazaki led Otogi project whether a direct sequel in 3 or a spiritual successor. Seeing as rumors say Sekiro started life as a ressurection of Tenchu anything is possible.
If people consider the Witcher games to be RPGs, this is one too
