    Use traditional buttons for attack (square and triangle)

    Hi!
    I'm playing the beta for some hours, and until now, I couldn't adapt myself to the keys used to attack.
    Usually, we use triangle/Y for the a heavy attack, and square/X for light attack.

    However, in this game, and ONLY in this game, the keys are R1 and R2.
    It's annoying me a lot, and I think isn't a core gameplay change, it should be an easy thing for you, developers, to make, and would make this game much more satisfying to play.
    It's frustrating to press square to make a light attack, and instad press the button to break the guard.
    I'm not even asking to let us completely customize keybindings - if you just add an option to swap R1/R2 with square/triangle, it would be imo one of the greatest addition in terms of "quality of life" while playing this game

    I agree, I had the same problems while playing on PS4. This would be a great addition in terms of configuration, and would make the gameplay easier to get used to

    It seems like it'd be really hard to adjust your stance (rstick) and attack (x/^) at the same time, but I'm all in favour of letting people remap their controls however they want to.
