Will I like Nioh if I like Bloodborne? I need to fill the void after finishing Persona 5

You'll love it to death

I'm waiting for all the dlc to come out before I go back to it.

Final boss of the first DLC is Bloodborne's Maria clone

>>388316505
Depends on what you like about Bloodborne. Nioh doesn't really have the sense of exploration or adventure that Souls games do. Nearly all loot is random, stages are split completely from each other into individual missions, and the only thing really unique to find are kodamas where you'll probably just equip an accessory to add their location to your minimap. Meanwhile the core mechanics are more in-depth, but still have some balance issues. The game is also big on re-use, in that most stages are designed to be played 2-3 times with different start points and objectives, and NG+ cycles feel like encouraged progress instead of Souls where they're more of an optional challenge.

Someone who likes Souls specifically for the gameplay will probably enjoy Nioh a lot since it's a step up, but if the appeal of those games is finding hidden shit, or optional bosses, or unique items/equiment, or piecing the lore together, none of that is here.

Which historical figure that this chick is inspired of?

inb4 she's literally BB's Maria copycat with no historical reference

>>388317828
I think it was Maria Pita of Spain

What a whore

>>388316596
Hope you already did Way of the Strong because you're gonna have a bad time in the second dlc

>>388319320
Literally exactly what I said

>>388317006
Except way cuter and a much better fight than BB Maria desu

>>388317909
>>388317948
>people actually adopting my headcanon
nice, it does still make sense to me that that's who she'd be. or maybe Maria of Austria, but can't really be sure since not much is known about Nioh Maria yet

>>388316362
>Lol infinite living weapon
Shits tedious

>>388321356
>or maybe Maria of Austria
>Archduchess Maria of Austria (21 June 1528 – 26 February 1603)
>Dragon of the North takes place in 1612

Yeah, kinda impossible. So Maria Pita is the only possible person who still roaming around Japan until her death in 1643.

>>388321356
they literally say she's from spain in the game though

>>388321732
It's not as if resurrection and powerful magic don't exist in Nioh.
Not really sure what motive Maria Pita would ever have to want to go to Japan, unless it really is just her hatred for the English. I'd still like to think it's her though.

>>388322246
it's probably just a dev meme character. i bet we won't even fight her in the third dlc.

>>388322242
And? Maria is a very, very common Spanish name.
Like I said I only saw Maria Pita as a possible similarity, mostly because of her and Nioh Maria's shared vendetta against the English. But who knows, maybe someone at Team Ninja had a boner for obscure Spanish history

>tfw dual matchlocks never

>>388316505
Unlike BB, Nioh is a "true" action RPG. People who are used to the souls=borne definition of ARPG will most likely be in for something completely different.

>>388322246
>unless it really is just her hatred for the English. I'd still like to think it's her though.
It's really is. She want Spain to win the war against England by using the Amrita, probably to avenge her homeland and husband.

Can somebody explain to me the situation with Nioh and DLCs? Do they have trophies? Do I have to pay for them or they are free?

>>388322473
>But who knows, maybe someone at Team Ninja had a boner for obscure Spanish history

The Japanese typically have a boner for semi-obscure Western historical figures because, surprise surprise, they look at our history with fresh eyes and can notice the people we typically glaze over. I'm willing to bet a dollarydoo that Maria is Maria Pita.

>>388322613
Each DLC has their own trophies, yeah. All three of the are paid but you can get the season pass to get them cheaper. Or in the ultimate uber deluxe whatever edition that's on the PS digital store

>>388322613

PvP and gameplay improvements like having two guardian spirits at once is free. The actual story content with Date Masamune and the Seige of Osaka are paid. They have trophies, one of which is beating every single mission in the game on NG++.

Did anyone else feel like Seige of Osaka was disappointing? Dragon of the North was short but Date and Maria were some of the best fights the whole game. Sanada was kind of lame in comparison.

so it's pretty much confirmed that we'll be fighting the nine tailed fox in the last dlc right? That weird yokai lookin' lady and all those yokai fox spirits of the second dlc pretty much spell it out

Sasuke was a little easy, but I really enjoyed his moveset and thought it was neat how he was a kind of parallel to Hanzo.

Yukimura was maybe my favourite human boss in the game aside from Muneshige and Sakon. Plus I liked that he was voiced by Shinichiro Miki.

>>388323019
This is just the Winter Campaign. The real shit starts at Summer Campaign on the next DLC.

>>388323093

We had better. I was expecting a nine-tailed fox at the end of the shrine level, but all I got was a shitty boss rush.

>>388323093
It wouldn't be a mythological Japanese fighting game without a Kitsune boss.

I like how they added actual ninja dogs to the game

>>388323019
I'm getting kind of tired of "human bosses with guardian spirits" in general.

>>388323189
I literally forgot about Sasuke existing since I parried him out of the gate and he never got to stand up.

But who was a better boss?
Masamune or Yukimura?

>>388316505
depends on how much will you find loot system obnoxious

>>388323445

I liked Yukimura more, Masamune's LW spam is very annoying and it's hard to read his attacks

>>388323749
Same. Masamune and Maria have so much ki that you can give up on ever breaking it. I think that's why Naruto and Yukimura have much less of it, Yukimura will run out of ki in his fight just from attacking normally. Shigezane was great though, so I'm disappointed there wasn't another good yokai boss like that. I bet they're not gonna make another difficulty or rarity above Way of the Wise and Ethereals and they're gonna go all out on the next dlc and not waste dev time on rebalancing another NG+ cycle.

>>388323383

I guess, but honestly the 1v1 duels are much better than giant yokai bosses. It feels like the game was built around them.

>>388323445

What the fuck is the blockchain?

>>388323927

Yeah I felt like they dialed the difficulty way down from all the BS in DotN. The stages, enemy placement and bosses are a lot more reasonable and closer to the base game in terms of difficulty. There are spots in DotN that are straight up malicious, it felt like we jumped into another Ninja Gaiden game

>>388323927
Shigezane is definitely the best yokai boss in this game. Though Okatsu is still the best human boss for me; fun straightforward fight, no LW spam and great music. Everytime I play the game I always run her dojo mission at least once.

when do they make offensive omyo casting instant but with a short cooldown so we can play this like a shmup and shoot magic while strafing without having to stop

>farming for grace sets

>>388329592
I don't know why you even bother. I half assed the first ethereal sword I got for skill damage to boost Iai, settled for attack x2 on evade-attack, then got my full set of divine onmyo mage gear to 250+24 and way of the wise is perfectly manageable

>>388316505
I like the gameplay and the moves, the pace of the game, but the enemies are garbage desu senpai. The feedback when you hit an enemy is really unsatisfying and the loot system diminishes how important the skill can be.

I'm not far enough in the game to have a definitive opinion, but it's a mixed bag for me.
