DatonKallandor posted:Hanzo is showing off how much of a badass he is by speaking fluent english in 1600 japan. Nioh (at least the playables) has everybody speak the language they're supposed to be speaking, with appropriate subtitles. So when someone speaks japanese, it's actually japanese. When someone speaks english, it's english. When that someone is japanese, expect them to be really bad at english. I didn't know that was how it's gonna work. That's actually pretty cool, and will probably feel a lot better. I only recently started following this, before that was 'oh, it's Japanese dark souls. Okay.'

RatHat posted:I'm not sure any people actually spoke English in Japan in 1600s, iirc the real William Adams spoke through a Portuguese translator before he learned Japanese. Wait, he was a real dude? I didn't realize they pulled a real person for you to kill demons through. Also, sorry for double posting. Phone posting makes quotes really hard.

William Adams (24 September 1564 – 16 May 1620), known in Japanese as Miura Anjin (三浦按針: "the pilot of Miura"), was an English navigator who in 1600 was the first of his nation to reach Japan. One of a few survivors of the only Dutch East India Company ship to reach Japan from a five-ship expedition of 1598, Adams settled there and became the first ever (and one of the very few) Western samurai. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Adams_(sailor)

So for pro support games, is there an option in game to switch between the 4k and 1080 modes? I'm not sure how that works.

And it really is the best solution for a bi-lingual game - I remember with dread how Onimusha 3 did it's french-japanese stuff.

That part is going to be important I think. Revenants are great training, great loot and a good source of shrine-trash to turn into elixirs.

I think every character revealed so far has been based off a real person around that time period, except maybe that ninja lady William talks to in one of the trailers

This game is going to have the complete opposite of Dark Souls lore since everything is based on real people/events with lots of expository cutscenes/dialog so there's 0 room for speculation

I was going to rent this, but the closer it gets I think I might just buy on day one, if only to encourage high effort Soulslike. I love the idea of SoulsBorne being a genre and not a series. With all the fun ideas in this I want From to be in an arms race to improve themselves.

As a fan of the Souls series since Demons, the "lore" aspect of the series is it's weakest aspect. It comes from a good place (Miyazaki trying to recreate the feeling he got reading fantasy novels in English as a child and not understanding a lot of the words) but has become obtuse and speculatory to the point that people can make a living just inventing stories based on the placement of items in games that are rushed out the door at the last minute. The biggest miss from Demons for me was the part where the Monumental tells you what is happening and what you need to do.

I like to think about it like a community ARG with the only reward is to find out What the gently caress. I think its entertaining, but I have no idea what the patrion funded vaati's will do after these games are done.

What's going on with the Old One, the religions, what happened to various characters from the intro, etc are all obtuse in Demons but you still know what you're doing and why for most of the game. And I guess the point that those things have answers in Demons while it feels like from Dark Souls on the answer is "whatever you want to believe".

Its also fun to have listened to the goon Soulsnerds "Bonfireside Chat" go from loving everything, to being down right dejected in Dark Souls 3 because it answered some long held beliefs of their in ways they didn't like. So while you want more explicit info, they get the answer to Gwyn's firstborn and whine about how it "should have been left as a mystery". Lol From cant win at this point. The more From explains whats going on the more lorenerds learn they were wrong and get pissed off that From is destroying their

Is there an effortpost about build's, Im always worried about what I should be working towards in these games, or is it too early to know what the final game will have? I see the stats breakdown in the OP, but im interested in more get x and y to 20 then work on main weapon stat, type advice.

In general you should be pretty safe putting points into your main weapons main stat and bumping Skill/Strength/Endurance whenever you get a piece of armor or a weapon you want to use but don't meet the requirements. All stats give out quite a lot of side benefits in addition to their main so it's pretty hard to own yourself and there's respec items so just go with whatever.
