While I am certain I will enjoy this game the split of Ninja and Samurai weapons is a blatant and lazy downgrade, makes ninja weapons feel inherently weaker since you lose a ton of % damage of regular armor (the sets dropping in the post-demo mission for ninja all just buff ninjitsu and not weapon dmg), and it also doesn't bode well for the weapons' skills since you no longer have stances for them, so there will be limitations to selection.

I also really hope the post-demo mission isn't an indication of the standard side mission we will get. I don't want the "challenge" coming from just sustaining through the lack of shrines. Not fun, not cool. It's just elixir chugging.
