Both Samurai and Ninja have 7 weapons. Confirmed so far are -Samurai has Sword, Dual Swords, Spear, OdachiNinja has Sword (rumored seen on X) Dual Ninja Swords, Tonfa, Talons, KusarigamaWhat are the other 3 for Samurai and 2 for Ninja?
>>720844441I seriously hope they didn't get rid of weapons from 1 and 2 just because of the ninja mode.
>>720844441Samurai has axeNinja has splitstaff
>>720844951Well the Switchglaive can eat my asshole. And I'm one of the few Nioh 2 players who used Hatchets through all the difficulties and I don't care if they are replaced. I want the Naginata for samurai
>>720844441Weren't they called katanas, not swords, in the previous games?
>all the fun weapons are locked to a shit stylewhat the fuck were they thinking?
>>720844441Reverse grip 1kat is confirmed, I saw a webm of it somewhere but I don't have it saved. People went out of bound in the demo and saw skills for ninja mode hatchets and I think maybe normal samurai mode fists as well. If switchglaive is in, it'll likely be samurai exclusive since the weapon really would not function correctly without stances.
Think we'll get a release date at TGS?
>>720846608Yeah, maybe at a State of Play before it though. Probably a March release if I had to guess. Maybe February.
>>720846521I think i'd prefer a giant sword style like in Rise of the Ronin over fists for Samurai
>>720847063You are incredibly gayThus said, we have already confirmed that Samurai gets fists via out of bounds glitch in the alpha
>>720847063You already have a giant sword, that's what an odachi is. Nioh 2 fists had both normal blunt models as well as claw models. They simply split it up into two weapon types for 3.
So how do these ninja/samurai modes work?My build in nioh 1 was magic and my build in nioh 2 was gun. Do these affect me at all?
>>720847383Both Giant Sword and Odachi were in RotR, what's your logic here?>>720847170There's still one more spot for giant sword you FUCKING SHITHEAD GAY FIST BOY
>>720848117It was redundant and not needed, a lot of weapon types in RotR should've been merged together for greater move-set customization since most were lacking styles. Odachi already has fatter "giant sword" models in Nioh as well. What you should be asking for is for them to incorporate some skills from RotR's greatsword into Nioh's odachi and for there to be more western greatsword models. No point in having the two be separate weapon types.
>>720844441>Dev 1 - "Hmm... Our last 2 games haven't gone very well, maybe we casualized the games too much trying to cater to a wider more mainstream audience...">Dev 2 - "You know what, let's make Nioh 3! We'll win the fans back that way!">Dev 1 - "Great idea! I've got an idea called 'Ninja style' where we remove stances, ki pulses AND some of the weapons that everyone loved in Nioh 2 and then give only half of them back to this new style, where each moveset is completely simplified just like Rise of the Ronin!">Dev 2 - "We can also have separate equipment for Ninja style too, to double inventory management!">Dev 1 - "Great idea!"I could go on

>>720847453You switch between them. Not sure how onmyo and ranged weapons are affected. I wanted to try a gun build in 2 but I don't think I got far enough into NG+ cycles/difficulties to make it viable.
>>720849242Seems kino.
>>720844441They can add 50 weapons and it won't matter. I have 300 hours on Nioh 1 and 2 with Katana only and I will do it again.
>>720849251The fact that the developers think that Ninja Style is a 'big step forward' in Niohs combat gives me no fucking hope for Nioh 3, so I will continue to doompost
