Koei's two breadbaskets are sengoku era Japan and three kingdoms China so this isn't very surprising, but I'm excited nonetheless

That video did pique my interest. I wish I could go bananas but videos like that just don't do anything for me anymore but I am looking forward to learning me. Freaking loved Nioh 2 quite a lot. I'm curious if they'll have character creation like in Nioh 2 - it was really robuts and great.

I wonder what that mode is in the trailer when the protag starts glowing yellow, he started dashing into the enemy. If this is a Soulslike faster than Nioh, that would be my dream. I don't think it will be a straight up action game like Ninja Gaiden or DMC because action rpgs sell better but I love that Team Ninja are pushing the action part in action rpgs.

Can anybody help me come up with a katana build for Dream of the Demon. I just recently switched over from Tonfa as I got a bit bored of that, but my damage output is still pretty woeful. I don't mind doing a bit of revenant farming or grinding for items/equipment, but I'm not after something super min-maxed, just enough so I don't feel weak and feeble. Cheers! PS isn't the music in this game dope? Never get tired of it.

Try farming Yoshitsune for his sword skill if you haven't already, because it's super good. Raikou also has one but it's not nearly as useful, looks cool though. Azai Nagamasa drops True and Through which is one of my most used skills with the katana, it's basically Stinger from Devil May Cry. In terms of actual build I think Katana is pretty versatile, you could probably make anything work with it as long as you focus on that (e.g. ki damage, onmyo, ninjutsu) edit: oops, I was assuming Nioh 2. I have no specific advice for Nioh 1 as I have not played it but it should mostly work the same re: get drops for moves if they exist and focus on a build archetype double edit: right, *Dream* of the Demon means Nioh 2 Tarezax fucked around with this message at 20:30 on Jun 13, 2022 |

I like Saikas + Tranquility, you get a + 8% melee damage. The +50 sword damage is also nice, but I can’t remember when that kinda becomes useless. Stacking active skill damage and using quick draw is also good. The ki pluse into li stance into quick draw always feels good to pull off.

Yoshitsune Also has a nice set, I forgot how spammable sword dance was.

I never put together a specific katana build, but based on everything I've seen in tryhard Youtube setups the iai draw get OP as gently caress if you stack damage and get all the skills that reduce their charge time.Ulio posted:I wonder what that mode is in the trailer when the protag starts glowing yellow, he started dashing into the enemy.

I did mean Nioh 2, should've specified. And yeah, I like the Ki Pulse directly into Iai quickdraw. Don't have anything right now which will improve my damage or charge time, but I'll work on that. Good tip on farming those skills. It's item drop I want for those, right? Thx for info Edit: Hard to get that Kurama Sword Dance to drop, hey? I think that's about 20 kills now, nada. You'll all probably say "20? Come back when it's 200 mate" 🙃 Trip Hazard fucked around with this message at 23:47 on Jun 13, 2022 |

Don't have anything right now which will improve my damage or charge time, but I'll work on that. Yeah boss skills are considered items. I don't think they have any higher drop chances on the higher skill difficulties, so drop back down to NG so you can blaze through them one or two buffed up combos. Protip: If you're farming a boss that doesn't have a side mission or duel where you can just run straight to them easily, rest at the nearest shrine and go fight them. If you don't get your drop, quit out to the main menu and reload. You'll be back at the shrine and can retry without having to run through an entire level again.

For Katana if you are playing light armor, take the mystic art that increases back attack damage. My rough estimate is that it increases back attack damage from 50% more to double. That's pretty hefty for something that does not take much work to use.

At least you can farm the set at the same time.

96 for me. Also, I wouldn't say "that's nothing, try [x] times" because every other thing I purposely farmed for took about a dozen or less tries for me. Sword Dance was a wild anomaly. Correction: 97 Morter posted:loving.... Morter fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Jun 14, 2022 |

Lots of new info on Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty in this IGN article: https://www.ign.com/articles/wo-long-fallen-dynasty-interview-team-ninja-soulslike-feudal-china PlayStation Store page: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10004116 Steam page with quite a bit of info in the product description: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1448440/Wo_Long_Fallen_Dynasty/ Some highlights from the IGN article. SETTING - Wo Long is a soulslike game similar to Nioh, but focused on Chinese martial arts as a new style of combat. - Set in China's Three Kingdoms period, which Koei Tecmo's Dynasty Warriors and Romance of the Three Kingdoms series have also been set in for more than three decades. This is Team NINJA's first game to be set in this period. - The game's title refers directly to the main character. "Wo Long is Chinese for 'crouching dragon.'" - Yasuda - "The game is set during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. As our subtitle Fallen Dynasty implies, the Han dynasty is about to come to an end." - Yasuda GAMEPLAY - Not open world. Level-based structure like Nioh, but with more freedom in levels. - Players can now jump. - Combat is faster-paced than Nioh 2, but not as fast as Ninja Gaiden. - "Since the game is set during the wartime of the Three Kingdoms period, we came up with a system that revolves around the warrior’s morale. Both the player and enemies have a morale status, which will lead to new strategies within the Soulslike genre," said Yamagiwa. - "...killing or being killed also has an impact on how strong the main character and enemies are. It’s a system that sounds like a Souslike adaptation of Shadow of Mordor’s Nemesis system." - IGN - Less emphasis on loot, but will "still have a large variety of weapons to choose from." - Character creator is in, with improved visuals and new parts to match the Chinese setting. Anonymous main character like Nioh 2. - Multiplayer is in. Co-op gameplay is similar to Nioh's. DEVELOPMENT - Wo Long's development started back in 2019. - Development producer Masaaki Yamagiwa published Bloodborne and Deracine while he was a producer at Sony's Japan Studio. - "At the time, we were looking for a setting that could work for a Nioh sequel." - Fumihiko Yasuda, producer. Yasuda was director and producer of Nioh 2. - Yasuda and Yamagiwa collaborated previously on Nioh 1, when it was a PS4 exclusive. This immediately shot to the top of my most hyped games.

God, that sounds like exactly what I want. Going to China opens up a lot more options for weapons, they can add some really fun stuff there. Cannot wait to get murdered by Lu Bu a thousand times, destroying my morale in-game and IRL

The game design details are exactly the list of improvements I'd have on my Nioh sequel wishlist. Early Three Kingdoms is a solid setting too. I'm extremely down for this.

I hope they get properly creative with the magic. Onmyodo is really fun and unique, and I hope they do something that captures the nature of Taoist mysticism in a similar way.

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if they bring the tonfa and splitstaff back given those also fit with the setting Maybe a more kung fu-focused fist weapon vs the Japanese martial arts heavy one in Nioh 2? Oh right there's not going to be any guns but they have to do repeating crossbows

Wo Long does not have stamina or stances, although the concept of switching between offense and defense kind of sounds like a stance switch. https://www.4gamer.net/games/637/G063793/20220608016/ quote:4Gamer:

This game sounds really interesting, no stamina + faster than Nioh 2 has me super curious. Team Ninja's games are always a blast so I am in no matter what but this could be a sleeper hit just like Nioh 1 was.

No stamina and no stances isn't that surprising given that Final Fantasy SOP didn't have those things. Curious about that offense and defense stuff.

I guess they'll do something besides parrys/deflects, but what??? They may stick with giving you a powerful and diverse toolkit like in Nioh, encouraging you to embrace unfair tactics, unleash spectacular abilities, and turn yourself into a Soulsborne boss. In Sekiro, you always had a pretty hard ceiling on what you could do and how good you were at it, whereas a Nioh character is actually encouraged to become one flavour or another of total bullshit.
