Sekiro 2: 10 Major Changes We Need To See

10. Replenish Spirit Emblems

Yes this is a minor point, but it's still pretty irritating.

Spirit Emblems allow the player to use tools and upgrades for the Shinobi Prosthetic (the fake arm) meaning you can use your flamethrower, umbrella shield, shurikens etc.

You can only use these abilities a certain number of times during a fight, much like the Gourd you use to replenish your health. Fair enough.

However, unlike the Gourd, Spirit Emblems don't replenish when you rest at a Sculptor's Idol.

Why?

They're a common item throughout the game, and you use the Prosthetic a lot. It's not discouraged, or a crutch. It certainly doesn't affect the game's difficulty level, it just means - particularly in the earlier levels - that you need to farm for Emblems, which is just tedious and kills the pacing.
