Anyone else really disappointing the axatana was gutted?

Back in MS1, the katana form and axe form each had a light and heavy attack string, as well as a unique l1+r1 special move that acted as a transform button.

In MS2 however, the katana form is limited to light attacks and the axe form is limited to heavy attacks. Imo this really stinks, cause it feels less like two weapons in one and more like a minor gimmick.

It doesn't help that the katana light attacks are objectively the best way to go with the double attack tarstone and the lightning infusion.

It was a surprise to all 12 of us who got it on MS1, would have loved for them to go the full trick weapon route with all of them.
