I never said shields were necessary. However, in the Souls series shields added variety to the classes (different classes equipped different shields.) This is a loss of specialization that was previously present in Souls games, and it was replaced by nothing. Therefore the key element of an RPG (Role-playing) is reduced. I never said Bloodborne wasn't an Action RPG anyway. I said loss of RPG elements (not loss of all RPG elements.)
