I agree. Dodge animation variety, weapon bouncing off(Maybe add the enemy chuckling a bit), critical miss voice lines, critical hit voice lines, parry animations, blocking animations. Just need more animations in general. Commit to the flash and flare. Need more sound variety as well. Metal, hide, scales, wood, flesh.

Especially since they don't have grit.

It's the smaller things that really help set the mood for me.
