My Wonderful Adventure in Nioh 2

Day One of Playing Nioh

Cool Opening CG

Clearly related to ninjas!

An unknown woman in the CG keeps telling a story, then suddenly gets killed! I'm guessing it's about inheriting some dragon power and then saving the world.

Then she tells me to survive. She's quite pretty (How could a Japanese game not have beautiful female characters!)

Character Creation Time!

Made her look so good! Originally wanted to create 2B, but the game's blindfold looks ugly, so I gave up.

Without glasses, she looks like this:

With the blindfold, she looks like this:

Well, I prefer girls with glasses anyway. Put on glasses and let's go!

Even the back view looks cool. I chose sword and spear - sword because I was pretty good with it in Sekiro (But actually I still can't beat Genichiro to this day...)

What's a Guardian Spirit?

Fierce Wolf - looks pretty cool

Thunder

Shadow - doesn't look that great either. Whatever, let's start the game!

First Mission

Having good character creation really makes you want to play the game more!

Don't ask how the cameraman caught this shot

This guy runs away when he sees a beauty? Am I not gorgeous?

Whatever, I won't hold it against you

You can clearly tell they used male motion capture for the walking animation, haha

Even bending over looks this good, oh my

What's with the seaweed roll? Hair clipping through! (By the way, I'm E-cup!)

As expected, the controls screen also has clipping issues...

Sakura Village

The running pose with a sword is also very cool

Put on the DLC gear, even cooler now!

Whoa, So Big!

Obviously can't beat something like this!

Taking a photo with the hometown cherry blossoms first (Asher-san, the cherry blossoms in our hometown are blooming again)

Just randomly clicking some skills. Based on my Sekiro experience, yokai won't last 3 rounds against me! (Give them some earth-fire shock, wait that's Divinity: Original Sin 2)

Die!

Easy peasy!

Excuse Me!

Watch my sneak attack

What! Spider sense!

Shiiiiiiiiiiit!!!

I'm back!

And I'm gone again!

Let me practice more and come back for your life later!

Let me practice on a Gaki first

You drink blood too?! That's so unfair!

Hehe, still died though

Let me heal up first

WTF!!! The protagonist can't swim!

Summon Visitors - What's This?

Let me try

Whoa!? Who Are You???

Oh! I get it, you're a Visitor! Why only one? Is this an NPC or a player??

Still bowing there

His big sword is so cool

Bro, can I just lie back and let you carry me...

After hesitating for 7-8 seconds, I decided - no! I need to help him!

Whoa!!! Another one appeared!

Before I could even make an expression to thank them, they both ran off. Maybe this is what being a hero is about

Alright, let me pick up the loot alone

Got it! Enki Soul Core!

Wait for me!!! I haven't gotten my damage in yet!

Successfully got some damage in

Wait! Who should I follow?

Men go left, women go right - I choose right!

This should mean a mission trigger

This green female ninja is so cool

The pros handle the fighting, I handle picking up money for the family

They even wait for me to open treasure chests, I'm crying

Sounds Good

Oh! Her character creation! It's Akali!!

Perfect whiff, already killed by the pros

Alright, I'll stick to my loot-picking duties

By the time I arrived, the elite boss was already tortured to death by the two pros. Tears flowed from the corner of my mouth

Thanks Pros

The Real Boss of the First Mission Appears!!!

Let's call him Ox-Head and Horse-Face

The pros run forward while I run backward

This rock is really rock-like

There it is! The health bar disappearing technique!

Can't see anything, but I know it's ultimate time!

Just like that, I did nothing but beat Ox-Head and Horse-Face

And even transformed

Saved by a mysterious person! Is this the one from the CG?

This angle is quite... suggestive...

Thanks again to the two pros...

One pro left, and only then did I realize the other pro was also a female character!!

I believe I'll meet them again someday

How cool is this?

My name isn't Axiu, it's Asher
