I'm really looking forward to trying out the odachi. I like slower/medium speed weapons but the axe never really did it for me.

So WotS is more like Twilight Mission: The Game instead of "here fight these 5 guys at once, hope you know how to dodge Bolt projectiles by sound alone :iamafag: "?

Pretty much, yeah. :haw:

Those missions become level 310 in WOTS. They're by no means representative of the entire thing, especially when your gear catches up a little.

Yeah

DLC chapter unlocks after completing the story so I guess take a stab at its recommended level from that. Odachi will be available from the beginning of the game. They're adding yet another higher difficulty.

Also tons of balance adjustments and bugfixes coming in the patch. If you are an extremely high level (233+) you might load your game to find it a little lower because they're making some change to the amrita costs. You'll be gifted a respec book if that happens.

For anyone who is wondering about the length of the DLC, at one point in the video they showed the map, and there seem to be 3 main missions and 6 side missions.

I hope there's a proper Miyamoto Musashi fight now, he was a teenager in a sidequest in the base game and I think the DLC is 10 years after so he should be in his 20s going around duelin

I assume they'll save that for the Siege of Osaka DLC. He's rumoured to have fought there on the Toyotomi side.

Leave until the last 24 hours before Team Ninja decides to give all the details on the DLC and update. I don't think I've ever gotten this crazy excited just from reading patch notes but for this game it sure did.

Seriously, with how good this game was at launch, so many of these other improvements would've been saved for the sequel if this was done by some other developer. Nioh's looking more and more like a game built to last I feel like, and if they can do this stuff repeatedly for the next 2 DLCs then oh man.

I think it's the Unusual Armor set. The description states near the end that "the look suits William well" and the color scheme does match up (the massive pauldron on the left shoulder is the big indicator).

It's not. The Unusual Armour is heavier. Is there a medium armour set in the same style?

Ayup, normally I wouldn't touch a season pass but I'm more than happy to have thrown the cash in on Nioh.

That new weapon looks like it's going to be a mid-ground remedy for folks who find the slowness of the axes a bit tedious, but still want something a bit heftier to smack enemies around with.

Youngblood is the "canon" William armor. I recommend the glowing 3-eyed crow helmet for it - I believe Youngblood doesn't have a helmet.

I'd say my only real gripes with the game are the soul matching being a pain to level stuff up, some builds requiring hundreds of levels (usually around 300+) and having to get smithing texts to make gear so you're not wasting points on those stats to get the bonuses.

I have been playing this game to the point that I didn't finish Horizon, played about 10 hours of Nier and have completely abandoned The Last Guardian. It's the siren song of JAPANESE STEEL.

Which armour sets do people use out of interest? I use Yagyu Style for light because katana man fighting in a robe is cool. I also have a good set of Warrior of the East for heavy just because it looks sick and upgunned merciless barrage is the poo poo.

I'm trying to work on getting a set of Tatenashi but I'm struggling to find some bits.

So, right now they block streaming/sharing of some cutscenes, but now they don't do that anymore, I think ?

Dex.

I just realized with the addition of the bigass sword I can create 3 perfect samurai mans: light armor with dual swords/kusarigama, medium with katana and spear, and heavy with axe and bigger sword.

I just played through an early side mission after installing the patch, never saw one of the new swords. Do you have to start a new game or something?

I think it's the same 3 skills, they just appear at the bottom of every tree. They're the ones you can buy multiple times to increase the bonus you get, seems like they put them there as a place for people to dump unwanted skill points.
