these kind of arguments always make me giggle. This isn't any kind of a knock on HS, but if you can play the game using the default stance and even do well just using the default stance people are likely to do that more than master every stance.
Lets look at Bioshock, it's popular right now. It offers thousands of combinations with sometihng like 10-15 plasmids and 50 something tonics, which just screams OH MY GOD DEPTH AND REPLAY!!! The thing is though, I only need electricity, fire, telekenisis, and the wrench. I can do all that other stuff, but even playing the game through again on hard I don't need more than that. Hell, the game offers a chemical launcher and I don't know anyone that used it more than enough times to say "hey, that's nice, SHOTGUN!"
So the point. You can offer all these different stance and all that, but that doesn't always mean people are going to use them. I'm not saying Bioshock is a bad game, it's a great game, but while there people that are going to use every plasmid and tonic, most people are just going to use the basic ones and basic weapons. From what I've read so far of Heavenly Sword, it sounds a lot of people are just going to use one stance really and not bother with the others unless they're required to.
