>>7540The point is getting gud at the game. It's a tutorial in the sense that the bulk of the game is in higher difficulties: harder areas, new accessories, set bonuses, graces, underworld and abyss, etc.
Learning and getting good at the mechanics is important to not get stomped at those levels. Play around with different weapons and see what you like best.
It wants you to get things like ki bursting and stance switching into muscle memory since this isn't a game you can brute force with just better gear, the game is very liberal with the tools it throws you to compliment your skill and playstyle.
