Unless I am wrong, there wasn't a single instance where you'd NOT use Kaiten before an Iaijutsu, not using it on one was basically a failstate and using it on old combo finishers as well, given the potency difference. This is different from buttons like old Dark Arts, Life Surge, Reassemble etc. where you did use instances of the skills you usually enhance as their unenhanced version, save for Carve and Spit, that small MP vs losing 350 potency was laughable.

So while we may have liked it, it was basically a soft-mandatory button press before every Higanbana / Tenka Gokken / Midare Setsugekka if you played seriously as not doing so was a fairly sizeable damage loss if you repeated it over time. So I can see why they dropped it out of the sky and called it Button Bloat, even if worse skills like Shoha II exist.

We need different Kenki spenders, but I feel like Kaiten wasn't it. What I do miss however is Hissatsu: Seigan instead of just gaining flat +10 Kenki on Third Eye.

This argument is so bad. Because there are so many abilities that you always want to press before/after or on cooldown. If we removed everything we would be left with almost nothing.

Im honestly glad its gone I started to play SAM a bit more after because I always found that move was a bit cringe its like go go weeb power :/ but that's my taste I was mad when DRG lost its timer and blue aura it was cool to use and made dragoon more challenging but I think that all of this is Yoshi-P plan to make the game easier and easier more and more and I know its a just move for both Kaiten and Blood of the Dragon but its Iconic moves and removing them is sad

I miss Kaiten. All my homies miss Kaiten.

yeah I meant to type Raiden/Rayden but dumb auto-correct on my phone corrected me lol

Kaiten actually made me feel like a Samurai. Did they ever explain their thought process of taking it away? Dropped leveling Samurai the second it was taken away. I was even in a weird Samurai kick and bought Ghost of Tsushima at that time. Probably will leave iptne job forever at 63 in protest.

The reasoning they gave was action bloat, and also that Kaiten was limiting samurai design or some such. It was all very vague.
