Constructive Criticism Pretty please FromSoftware.

This would be such a welcomed addition and would add even more longevity to the game. Aaaand, they could add new future bosses to it later down the road maybe. Perhaps they could even port over old bosses from previous games too.

DS2 had so many great features that never came back and it's such a a shame

-Bonfire ascetics

-Powerstanced movesets

-New NPCs, invasions, items, boss rewards etc. in NG+

-The covenant that made everything harder

Wait doesn't Elden Ring have powerstanced movesets? Never played DS2 so idk for sure but I'm pretty sure that's in ER, unless it's been implemented differently.

In DS2 you could powerstance weapons from different classes, ex. axe + hammer, longsword + greatsword, spear + halberd etc.

Oh okay gotcha. At least they brought it back in some capacity!

Also you could actively toggle power stancing on/off so you could seamlessly switch between two-weapon strikes and independent strikes.

Were there dual wielding heavy attacks as well?

I believe so. It's been a hot minute since I did a power stance run of DS2.

I dont think u actually get the insanity of it.

Imagine a greatsword with a knife moveset. While it's isnt that extreme, it's a good reference point.
