    I was disappointed they added nothing to base game like not even 6 player support or the datamined covenants nor the cut quests, it would’ve been cool to hear some dialogue in base game or meet base game NPCs with new dialogue + restoring cut quests but they clearly just focused on the expansion and that alone. It almost feels alien how nobody acknowledges the shadow world even though it’s such an important part in the story

    Headcanon that Sekiro and Issihin were lovers (hence the long dialogues reminiscing over Sake), Isshin’s disguise as Tengu in order to conceal the fact Isshin couldn’t be seen with Sekiro as lovers (shirtless of course). Which makes the final battle even harder because the words “hesitation is defeat” is exactly what Isshin had told Wolf over drinks when Isshin was confessing his love for him. Hesitation to find love within Isshin, to stop the killing and to prevent shura.

    Even under the golden sun, in Buddhism gold represents enlightenment, love, and purity, the clouds obscuring those parts of gold represent Sekiro’s demise and fall to Shura, but they also could be a metaphor for Wolf’s hesitation to actually love Isshin fully. He had to kill Emma because it was his way of fully abandoning that relationship with Isshin, his trust, his love gone but in the end Isshin says “I couldn’t bring myself to hate you”
