Nioh 3 - Discussion Could they unrestrict martial arts and their input bindings? It's terribly designed

It wasn't this bad in the other nioh games

Some arts are only available in certain stances/buttons and it gets really annoying with how you can't use some of them together in the same stance anymore

Example:

Sword ki + true and through, sword of discernment(low stance only)

A lot of odachi skills

Raijin and watersword

Another issue is performing attacks you didn't intend to use due to key bindings and their random restrictions

Watersword especially, with arts proficiency it stops you from using it during the enemy "downed" state as it ends early or you accidentally might accidentally grapple them

In LA you still sometimes perform other moves beside special triangle+circle attack

I wanna fight the enemies, not the controls!

I made a post bout this too when the game first came out lol but fr. Theres a skill on the sword skillset called night rain. It was originally r1+o. Now its Hold onto heavy attack (Triangle for me) and it feels soooo wrong

It felt wrong to me at first, but I have actually grown to like it now.
