Which wasn't the case in Demon's as well, but that is not the issue. You claimed that what I stated was not at all true. When asked to prove said claim, you said that you don't know, because you don't play those builds. Demon's Souls had a representative - if I'm allowed that term - of an "S" factor in almost every build (if not all). It had even one for character tendency. This is not a gamebreaker. "S" does not beat anything , as you very correctly stated. Yet, it provides variety and balance.
Think about it: Why only have the Moonlight Greatsword - an "S" factored on Intelligence - and not something in other categories? Wouldn't that bring variety and choice of play? I had a friend with maxed out Green bar and pathetic Blue and Red correspondingly. He wielded two "hiltless" katana's making his initial stroke swift and nigh terminal. If he landed a blow first, most of the time he won. If not, he got killed easily. Yet, it was his choice of play and should be respected.
Anyway, I feel it is necessary to repeat that this trivial fact does not make a game better than another. It is just an answer - in good spirit - to the fellow some posts above who claimed that none can never find any (or other similar absolute expressions) elements in the first game that are better than their corresponding ones in the second.

I just don't think having more S-scale weapons really matters in the end because you can still beat other builds, rather handily in fact, with other top-tier weapons even if they don't have S-scaling. Which is why I see a large variety of weapons used in PvP. because there really isn't so massive a difference between an S weapon or an A weapon. Or at least, not enough to matter.

We don't really disagree here. I just believe that giving more options to a player is generally a good thing, even if they are not of that much importance in-game. You think - if I have understood correctly - that since S-scaled (I'll follow your term :P) are not that much more effective than A-scaled ones, they should as well be omitted from the game.
Why not then strike them all out and keep the A-scaled ones as top? Why did they put the Moonlight Greatsword in the first place? Agreed, I do much more damage with BKGA than with MG, although I'm currently at 80 Strength, 80 Intellingence. With rough calculations, I figured that MG will never catch up.
