Aha now I remember this game's curious balancing where all the bosses take like 8 hits to kill you but the random midboss enemies are murderers.

Nioh is still one of the best of the Soulslikes, and thus by extension FF:SOP as they are essentially 90% the same games, but they are far, far more demanding in combat mechanics than the average Souls, complete with Diablo style loot and multiple independent growth tracks that need constant tending to as you progress. It makes them great but also much more difficult to pick back up and play than any Souls game as both skilled play and growth demand a lot more brain space and are generally, due to the higher complexity, less intuitive.
