No. Dark Souls-type gameplay, all the way. We can finally make Jaune badass, dammit. Ursa Major appears? Parry and decapitating riposte. Cardin tries to punch you? Wrath of the Gods. Cinder Fall unleashes Firestorm on you? Hah, joke's on her, we'll just Ninja Flip out of the way.

Besides, isn't Crocea Mors basically a reskinned Astora's Straight Sword? If that's the case, then Jaune is a faith-build, and we'll end up equipping the Crescent Axe at one point or another.

I mean, sure, you may want to play a game where a 15-year old girl can magically carry a gigantic bird up a cliff and still have enough strength to decapitate it, or you can have a game where everything tries to kill you and you have to fight just to survive with just a sword, a shield, and your soul art. Which one sounds more hardcore?
