It was just a musing on the one blood chunk being the demake's version of the blood rock since yes, I know that weapons only go to +5.
So this "1 of everything" let me get straight... you mean, you lose all the weapons you collected except the ones, presumably, you have equipped (so 12,000 to grind for Blades of Mercy again?) You lose the hunter tools (including the 10,000 echo grind that is A Call Beyond), armor (besides what you're wearing?) and left with just 1 vial, 1 bullet, 1 sedative, 1 molotov, etc.? Do you even keep your stats? Or the upgrades you made to your own equipped weapons? Is it just a near-complete reset of all of your progress and things collected?
Key items I can understand but losing weapons, hunter tools, all that... that sounds pretty bad to me.
