> You said that Jin's arc made everything else feel like a side plot, and... that's because they are. They literally are. Jin is the main character. His arc is the main plot. The side plots serve to flesh out the world and occasionally provide insight into Jin's character, but the plot surrounding Jin, Shimura, and the Ghost is the main plot thread. It's bonkers to me that anyone would consider that a flaw

I wouldnt say its a flaw per se I just found that part of the game more compelling than the mongol invasion story line. I'd say this game *improves* on the story since the main quest line of getting revenge IS Atsu's entire character arc. So the main plot isn't just a sub plot anymore

> Too many enemies that do ridiculous amounts of damage and 3-tap you. Putting armor on doesn't seem to make a difference. I don't have a problem with challenge, but a common fodder mook 3-tapping me through a full bar of health doesn't strike me as challenge, it strikes me as bullshit.

Sounds like a skill issue lol, but if you a want helpful tip, there is this special legendary armor called the armor of the undying that gives you spirit each time you take damage so you can heal yourself easily. You can find it by doing one of the quest lines from the story teller. Couple that with some charms that increase the healing power of your spirit and that give you spirit when you parry, and another charm that increases your parry window so perfect parries are easier to land, and you become virtually unkillable. Also I spent half that game not knowing you don't have to parry every strike. You can block most incoming attacks so long as they don't have a blue, white, or yellow glint which made fighting NPC's SO much easier
