Game seems to get easier after that batwoman.
You can.
Anything you pick up is unlocked for refashion you don't even have to keep the armor/weapon to have to look.
If something isn't appearing in the refashion menu, and you may need the smithing text for that particular item first.

First boss down on first try. Wasn't too bad at all.
Is there any general thought on leveling/focusing on ninjutsu or magic over the other?

Aaaand done, finished at level
. Solid 8/10 overall. My two main gripes lead directly into the third:
First, difficulty. Game was a complete pushover, namely because of problem two - the lack of variety in all things. By the start of region 3, I had the strat down for every single enemy in the game, because I'd already seen them all. Giant dude with the long tongue, Tengu or standard red oni with knives? Mid-stance katana. Literally everything else? High-stance axe.
Map variety is lacking too, in the sense that while a bunch of them are technically different places, they might as well not be. Approximately half are shrines at night, while it's raining. Another quarter are samey castle interiors, while what's left is actually pretty interesting, but unfortunately on the shorter side/side-quest only.
Should stop and clarify at this point, that none of the enemies or areas are actually bad. They're just in very short supply for what is a pretty long game. Anyway, my main issue...
Bosses. There are a FUCK-TON of bosses, but they're riddled with problems. First, a ton of them are pushovers (without exception, nothing took me more than a second try, including beefed up side-quest rematches), dropping on the first attempt. They're overly telegraphed, and only seem to have 'short-range' and 'long-range' attacks, leading to a one-size-fits-all mid-range approach.
Boss variety is pretty awful too, to the point where I'd argue you only really have half the actual number (if you include shit like the dojo fights, which are bosses in health bar alone). You'll fight not-Nue a couple of times, along with not-Warrior of the West, etc. There are fights I like (Hino-enma, who is arguably the best boss in the game), but none I love, and a dozen I already can't remember.
So why is this an 8/10 despite all my bitching? Because the game feels great to play. While you're arguably able to do way too much as the player (which imo is where a lot of the soft difficulty comes from - there's no 'boss that's only hard because of the way you're built' ala Souls), it's also very, very satisfying to put it all together and completely decimate half a dozen dudes like it's nothing.
So uh, yeah. Pretty good/great game, but with a ton of things holding it back. Very much looking forward to the inevitable sequel, as long as it avoids the typical Koei Tecmo trap (hopefully it's more Toukiden 2, and less... everything else).

I love Pokken!
The difficulty of these epilogue missions is some bullshit man.

What!? The Kusarigama is a DPS monster. I would imagine that it's very good? I'm going to reroll one until I get that.
The highest I've seen his 20 hp per hit, not sure what the cap is.
There is one for strong attack as well.
I haven't finished it yet but I strongly agree with all those criticisms (especially the lack of enemy variety) from what I've played so far. it'll still probably wind up being my GOTY though because of how good it feels to just play and me just loving these types of games in general though.
Unless you care about the stat bonuses the armor provides, you can just wear any light armor in the game and refashion it to look like the red armor every time you find something you like. That's what I've been doing since I find all of the light armor hideous but still want to remain light. I love the refashioning feature.
I've also unlocked the true potential for paralysis for my former question. The paralysis bomb is immensely useful, and combined with the other paralysis stuff it's pretty great.
So complete those missions. If you don't have them yet then just progress till u do.
Sorry for my late reply,
this is what I have

This is a light set, but it doesn't include arms.
You can keep the Hasebe in your off-hand and use whatever you want as your main weapon, then maybe match it with arms. With 10 Stamina you can wear most medium armour
This set gives general boosts to damage
I see myself sticking to this, forging new ones when I hit NG+
(which may be a while because I gotta rest and this weekend is my last of utmost freedom)
Is that a rare stat bonus? I have one that does fire, and I think I'd be willing to risk losing that one for life steal.
I believe they are all still "???". I'm at the water monster level, and it's just feeling lame hoarding a dozen skill points.

You sure?
In the dojo, you get a full set of that ninja gear.
I can only use the head and leg armor. Not the torso or gauntlet. I don't get it.
I don't know what to say. Either spend those points on something else or just progress till u unlock those quests.
Check to see if you "locked" the items by pressing square on them.
If it's not that then idk

So I was avoiding this game confusing it with the Nier sequel because I wanted to play through Nier on the PS3 first. Decided to peek in here once I realized it's a different game altogether.
Sigh, ARE YOU SERIOUS???

I've gotten to the point where I feel I'm pretty good at this game AND I look slick while doing it. But it made me realize it's going to be so hard to go back to SoulsBorne styled combat after this. I spent all evening just doing co-op missions with randoms and had so much fun. Everyone gets wild and loose when the pressure is off them and things get even more hectic LOL
I also beat Ms. Enema solo for the first time this evening. That's like a huge milestone imo

He's Irish in this game if that's your issue.

I finally beat the one on one duel by hiding behind the rock lol
The actual William Adams was English, but was changed to Irish in the game because their folklore is a better fit for guardian spirits, etc. An easy mistake to make imo.
Yeah it is, I'm pretty sure can have an element with it.
The only limitations I know of as far as stats go is not being able to use two elements on one weapon.

Is this the same wooden sword or another one??

I wish you could filter help results. Trying to help people on
is always a complete waste of time. I just run into the water immediately when I spawn in that map.

It's Muneshige's sword refashioned into a wooden sword.

Ack wish the game would stop throwing so much gear and items at me. I sorta dread sorting through my shit after each mission. Didn't know the game would have this whole loot aspect (didn't play demo). I preferred how precious things felt in Souls games but here in just piling up "stuff" and it is overload at times. And lots of times now I'm finding items I have enough of because I don't use them and it's annoying. I know it's not exactly a Souls game but I thought I should give my 2 cents on this.
Haven't even tried to mess around with the blacksmith much though so that might hook me in more once I dig into it.

Does Heavenly Flow only parry high stance attacks? I wonder because I can never seem to time it right otherwise.

Are you seriously wasting people's cups? Can't you just specify the mission you want?
Mura masa IS in the game?

I started helping them. Spoilers:
They all fucking immediately die on the laser, every single time. With no torches lit.
Yep. Going in there without ammo would be miserable.
