No. Actually, it's rather easy from my experience so far.

Finally unlocked more of the Jikai.
Yeah, after you pay off all of Dojima's Debt, Nanami is unlocked as a Bodyguard for Hire. Make sure you take her with you and defeat Nue and reach the Mysterious Blacksmith. The story continues from there.
Also make sure you dont mistakenly take the tree exit. Apparently a set of stairs unlock to the far left of the map, take those to enter deeper into the Jikai.
Lol. Good to know.
Is this done as lazy motivation for main character and players or is there any depth to this, and what does her beauty have to do with enough to be mentioned?The swordsmith Dojima falls into debt and his beautiful daughter is taken as collateral.

Alright, so maybe I reacted a bit too harshly earlier. I'm not putting this down. Hell, if anything, the recent hardships only made me want to play the game more. There's clearly a good bit more to this game than is immediately evident, and I get the feeling that it's going to end up being longer than I expect.
Question, though: Has anyone been able to figure out the dodge/parry timing on the beast bosses (Waira, Nue)? Can't seem to figure it out no matter how many times I fight them. So the battles tend to drag on and I've seen the Death God pop up more than once near the end of the fight.
I've done it a few times but no reliably. Tbh I save my Katana Time for those fights and blitz them.
Yeah, that's what I usually try to do too, but sometimes things get rough in the red portals and I end up having to burn my Katana Time to take out a huge crowd that would otherwise murder me terribly. And, inevitably, that happens one floor before the boss, lol.

Yeees, I'm finally in the booming business state. That almost got me to the next debt repayment of 27500 coins in the next 4 days. I think I earned like over 5000 coins that way. Maybe even more. I wonder how long it will last. Hopefully it's not over after just one day, because that would definitely help paying off the debt. I mostly supported Akadama and Post Town (in that order) which got me here. The Kurofu Family is a bit dissatisfied with Dojima so I hope I can get them up again with some gifts and perhaps fulfilling orders for them.
Mine said it was a 1 day boom, then the next day was a 2 day boom and now it's an all out turf war and I have enough money to pay off Dojima's debt with 6 days to spare. Akadama and Post Town both very satisfied, Kurofu is okay. Feels good man.
Business is booming. It feels so good, lol. I have 40k in my safe now. It now says "two more days", so I guess after those two days there will be a turf war. Would be cool if I could get most of the money needed to fully pay off the debt by then.
I fought another AI controller player character and it dropped a 7 star sword, wow. That's the highest I have so far. It's Iai type, which I'm not a big fan off, but it's good for an alternative use next to my blade based on the "Wandere's blade", which I sharpened to 200 and has a 6 star rating.
I also encountered a quest inside the dungeon where I didn't need to slay someone, just talk to them. They gold me a story and said there's more for another time. As a reward I got some candy, which gives you 15 points when you gift it to Nanami.
This game is so much fun. <3 Maybe, just maybe, one day we're going to see another mainline Way of the Samurai game.
I just lost another high upgraded sword, it was also Iai stance. The first sword I lost was Iai stance too. I'm not gonna lie, I think the Iai stanced swords are bugged.
Sometimes my attacks don't come out when I press the attack button, which causes me to essentially die. Avoid Iai if you can, don't make the same mistake as me and upgrade two of them. x_x
I've fallen in love with the Karatake Maichimonji sword, its a pretty common drop with a very good move set. I got lucky and found a 7* one. It's really easy to upgrade too!

It seems if you get each factions ''Smithy Tension'' really high, the shop owners change into more important characters. Not only that, but new items unlock in the shops too! Max them out!
How do you get the Smithy Tension up for certain factions? Fuliffing their orders?
Sending them gifts is what I've been doing. Those items that sell for alot are meant to be given as gifts to the factions, the golden hammer, the mysterious globe, kappa shell, gold figure, etc. It says in the item description ''popular as a gift'' or something like that. :)
With that said, im still missing some costumes, the last upgrade for the closet/storage/fashion and there is a menu option that is blank. I haven't been able to figure out how to unlock these.
Right now I'm on the hunt for all the issues of the Dangostini magazines. Trying to see if they do anything if you collect them all.
Am I understanding right... to foment discord between the clans I just need to sell better to one or two of the 3? Like order fulfillment? Just don't fulfill for one clan?
Ah, whoops! I actually sold all the golden statues (or gave them as a gift to Nanami). Found the golden hammer once and sold it too, but that was before I had the booming business state and wanted to make some money. I also found ham once and sold it, because it was worth 1000 coins (which makes sense considering how valueable it was back then). Good to know though, thanks. I will gift them instead from now on.
Finally unlocked even more stuff.
I managed to save up the 500,000 to buy the Bethrothal Gift to marry Nanami. Once you do that, you unlock a bunch of stuff. New jikai levels, new bodyguards, the last upgrades to the closet/storage/fashion, and even disguises!
Woah! Good to see that there's so much more stuff in this game. Speaking of: Do you normally hire bodyguards for your runs? I haven't done it yet because I didn't see a reason so far, but from the sound of it they might be quite useful?
What does orange swirls mean around a wandering NPC on the main map (Dojima's area)?
What's the deal with materials constantly disappearing? Seems like every time I go to Dojima to upgrade a sword, most of my materials are at 0, despite knowing I should have some. Are they automatically being used to make the swords that he sells or something?
Just opened up crafting. Is that how I get access to the DLC swords?
