there isnt really anything wrong with fighting a boss enemy more than once. stuff like tree sentinels can be cathartic to fight when you learn their moves, and adding more mechanics or other enemies in later fights makes things more interesting while also helping you train to be better prepared for a more interesting fight, like how the game has you fight multiple godskins 1v1 before the game forces you to fight them 1v2.

The people who complain about this sort of stuff are the tourists who dont really like the games but are trying to complete it for completions sake, actual fans know that the fight itself is the game and "its about the journey not the destination"

>but that was never really the case.
i mean it is and was the case in past games. you can trivialize content with gear in any game. ever since dark souls 1 you could trivialize a lot of bosses with shields. the problem was you needed to upgrade the shield for shields to be good. "shields bad" was always gatekeepers trying to get shitters to learn to play the game before breaking it first or ignorant people trying shields without upgrading them and getting crushed
