Moonlight Greatsword IS in the game...kinda (Endgame Spoilers)

[Hex: Onii-Chan]

Aight, so after defeating Ishin, you receive a technique. That sends out shockwaves in a very specific manner. One that closely reminds MLGS cuts.

"Oh, they just look similar" - true, but there is more to come.

- The arena you fight in is the definition of "moonlit". If the moon was any bigger, i would say we are playing Majora's Mask
- The attack you use is called "Dragon Flash". MLGS is received from dragons in the Dark Souls games (Even in DS2, where Freia ate a dragon, thus inheriting the moonlight power, thus making it possible to craft it from her soul). Flash *can* technically refer to "flashing" the sword, but looking past that it's basically called "Bright Dragon Light".

My guess would be, that it was initially meant to be a prosthetic, but testers used it the most. So much so, that they had to turn it into a combat art and put behind the final boss.

What kinda disappoints is, that despite the pleasant range, the damage is hilariously low and costs too many emblems. May as well use Lapis / Butterfly Shuriken.

Meaning a skill you get for finishing the game is worse than one you get in the beginning. My point.

Sadly .....yes. Nothing beats Jump forward + Ichimonchi:Double while fighting a boss.

Personally i like the Nightjar Slash, simply because it allows to shorten the distance and the reversal helps with gtfo-abilities like the Headless Ape's scream

To my understanding Miyazaki just wants to get rid of former games easter eggs. Thats why we dont have some wannabe patches. He doesnt look it as one of the soulsborne series. Thats why we dont have it.

what about the fire pine resin? :) (don't know the english name but i think you see what i'm talking about)

That it makes it completely unviable for common use compared to all the combat arts that are more effective and cost none. That's especially a problem in boss fights. Unless you mean to tell me that you casually kill enemies during a boss fight to get more emblems so you can perform your overpriced combat art.

Who uses anything other than Ichimonji: Double in boss fight (from combat ars) anyway?

I do. Nightjar Slash is a great gap closer and I don't have a stupidly long charge up
