April 2 here, too late!

It's ironic because the part of my post that seemed to offend you was the part that was meant to be apologetic.

I'll have to look into this whole "triggered" being an offensive term, because it's something I've certainly never heard of. Obviously, right? Or do you think I would intentionally say something that's incredibly insensitive and rude towards an entire group of people with a mental condition?

I don't have PTSD myself, but I do have a general anxiety disorder and take prescription lorazepam. Recently my body has been forgetting to automatically breathe when I fall asleep, and I'll be jolted awake with a sensation of what I only imagine a heart attack to feel like. But thank you for the lecture, just hope that next time you call someone out for it you don't accuse someone improperly, or *that* might be incredibly insensitive and rude.

Damn you! *shakes hand in air*

Well if you'll excuse me, I'm off to duel with the toughest boss in any Soulsborniro game. Corrupted Lord White Knight Runa, protectorate of triggers.

Good luck and may the SunBloodDragon guide you to your multiple deaths.

The term on its own is not offensive but using it in the wrong way indirectly belittles people with actual problems associated with it. I don't think for a second that you were trying to piss anyone off (and holy hell I sound like some overly PC twat for saying this), but it's a teachable moment wherein I can explain how your words might come across as a micro-aggression. and yes, I am well aware I come across sounding like South PArk's PCPrincipal, but there are some ways in which that character - though clearly an exagerrated parody - was an accurate representation of what some people wish for. 

That said, you're being awfully aggressive towards me here. Like, you suffering from Anxiety Disorder isn't quite the same thing and the way you used 'triggered' had absolutely nothing to do with a panic attack so I have no idea why you felt the need to use it as an excuse. 

But whatever, internet peeps will be internet peeps. 

Why don't you finishing blow me by adding 'libtard cuck snowflake' at the end? 

You're right man. Last thing I want to do is offend people. So even if I don't quite understand or agree with it being offensive, I'm willing to accept your advice in the hopes that it keeps this sort of thing from happening ever again.

Worst sound in any video game: metal hitting metal

Ya, I did fight him in NG+

I don't really know what the percentages are in terms of the difficulty spikes for enemy vitality and damage, but I don't really view those things as all that consequential. The main differentiator for NG+ was giving back Kuro's charm, which forces you to perfect deflect enemies, or else you take chip damage through your blocks. Then once you've mastered that, the game becomes a cakewalk regardless of any further buffs the enemies get. And no, you can't get any further vitality upgrades for yourself. Only attack power.

Wouldn't it require a minimum of four playthroughs anyways for all endings, though? Platinum for this game is maybe a long-term goal, perhaps after I've come back to the game a few more times down the road. I didn't pay attention when I started NG+ and I kept Kuro's Charm. I tried giving it to him but he insisted that I keep it, and so I kept it. I didn't even know it was something exclusive to NG+, but now it's too late.
