What does that even mean? What does a massive visual downgrade have to do with gameplay balance? It’s not like (this version) of the game puts lots of characters on screen. Plenty of games look and run better than this so really the issue isn’t balance its skill on a technical level. From Software is an amazing studio with creative minds but they don’t have a handle on the technical side when it comes to visual quality and performance. They should have partnered with a western studio for their engine work.
