Dark Souls 2 remains a divisive entry in the landmark RPG franchise, but Hidetaka Miyazaki believes it led to the success of Elden Ring.
DS2 was fine. While there was a bit of recycling assets or ideas for bosses, it was a bigger more open Dark Souls. The Fume knight boss is one of the hardest bosses in the series until Sekiro and Elden Ring were released.
The problem with Dark Souls 2 was the same problem when a different director takes over for a sequel to an outstanding movie. It typically (there are exceptions) doesn’t have the feel and vision of the previous movie.
I wouldn’t say Dark Souls 2 is terrible. Had Dark Souls 1 never been a thing and we got this, I think it would have been praised more. The problem is it didn’t have the Miyazaki touch to it and felt pretty derivative. The soundtrack is a banger though.
I like DS 2, might even be my favorite of the 3. But it's a hard sell, there's so many obscure things you need to do to make it an enjoyable experience. So always find it hard to recommend, but it is worth the trouble.

"...there’s no Easy Mode Pyromancer this time..." so true...
Fainth/ dex build > bandit or knight, they are very close.
Fainth/ stg build > cleric looking fantastic, hands down winner.
mag/dex > sorc. win, but not that big deal...
mag/STG > If adaptability end up as a must have stats,i think Explorer can take this from sorc., the better starting gear make the choice interesting..
Builds whit no magic > bandit looking amazing! very low Int/faith/attun., lots of space to grown!
For now i think the best stats distribution are from Bandit and cleric! hard to tel, since adaptability is a big "?", it can end as a very good solid stats that is a must, it can alson end as a "poor stats"or it can end as a stats like "have a lot or have nothing", only time will tell...
