seeing as they rip/pay homage to a lot of ninja gaiden attacks and animations in the nioh games I was always a little disappointed we didn't get a nunchaku weapon, that'd been fuckin sweet

I guess they can do it with some daos but I'm not overly familiar with Chinese weaponry and what would have been somewhat common of the time period.

the common weaponry of ancient china included things such as the dao, the ji, the dagger-axe, and projectile children

The story trailer really drove home that the optimal audio to play with will be Mandarin.

I tried Nioh 2 in English for like two scenes, couldn't handle it. The VA just wasn't very good.

I really hope at least one of polearms is for a light armor or medium armor build.

nioh 2 is best played with the japanese VAs for the sole reason that you'll nearly fall out of your chair the first time you run into yasuke it's the audio equivalent of reading nothing but manga for a year and then picking up a comic book out of the blue

Apparently the actor they got for Tokichiro in Nioh 2 was a big name actor that played the same character in a bunch of live action stuff. Makes sense since he was really good. And yeah I usually play games like that in Japanese. Though I’ve played Ghost of Tsushima in both Japanese and English and both are really good.

I liked how they gave William in Nioh 1 a magic translation power, so he could continue speaking English while every other character around him spoke Japanese  Definitely gonna play this one in Mandarin. Have they said that it will have that voice track? They keep using English in all the trailers.

That is the true foreigner experience in Japan. People were praising the English VA for Ghost of Tsushima but man the Japanese VA hits just different in these types of games. Even in the AC games I would turn it into the language of the location and it was such a better experience. Played AC2 in Italian, AC unity in French.

It was weird having Nioh 2 start out in English and then, I don't know whether it was after an update or not, it eventually switched to the Japanese track without me doing anything. Also, I am hoping that there is some fists option of some kind in the future.

It works so well with the reconciliation scene with Tokichiro that I can't imagine the devs not having discussed doing it automatically. Probably scrapped because there is a certain level of inviolability to a player's customized avatar (especially in a game that prioritizes giving the player so much freedom in their character builds and style) .

Yeah, you're kind of stuck between limiting people to a set number of presets that you have aged versions of, and just not doing it at all. Trying to automatically mess with hair color or age sliders just isn't going to work when the player could start the game as a withered crone.

Mumyo doesn't for example, it may be due to her guardian spirit being associated with extending life, or maybe it's just a guardian spirit thing in general.

Iirc, Mumyo was modelled after and voiced by an idol - stunt casting thingy, same thing they did with whatshername in Nioh 1 I believe. So even if had they wanted to (probably not) they likely wouldn't have been contractually allowed to age her up.

Review codes have gone out, and even though the review embargo won't be lifted until the day before release, you never know who will disregard that... that said, if you click the first link the OP (Sportskeeda Esports writer Suman Biswas) answers some non-story spoiler inquiries such as difficulty, PC performance, and options.

They are saying it is well optimized on PC, similar settings to Nioh 2 for those who were curious.

Mumyo doesn't age for the same reason the player character doesn't. They both have parts of the immortality granting sword.
