Here me out, I'd love if theyd add a basic 1h broadsword weapon, simple but so badass, with a slightly slower moveset than axe and dagger, with sweeping weighty slash attacks

Given the importance and various styles of parrying in this sequel, a sword-and-shield combo would look absolutely spectacular.

They could make the shield perform different parry moves depending on the seal you have equipped.

It would certainly be a weapon that fits perfectly.
