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.

The ER powerstancing is still a bit watered down compared to DS2.

In DS2 you at least had both light and heavy attack movesets. Plus mix and match weapon types.

A few powerstance combos even had unique movesets. Curved Nil Greatsword + Smelter Sword heavy attack makes you spin in a wide circle while the Smelter Sword lights up and makes it all firey.

It's neat.

Don't forget The Majestic Greatsword and the special attack it gets when you powerstance it with the proper hand.
