I can kinda see traces of BotW in how the exploration seems to be more player-driven than driven by the UI or markers, and the presence of bite-sized challenges in the world and sweeping weather effects that alter gameplay and potentially pose a challenge.

Yes I remember reading how Miyazaki loved that aspect of BotW. Being able to climb to a high vantage point and seeing something interesting in the distance, setting a waypoint, and going off to explore it.

So that seems to be the angle they are taking with this game. Not the ubisoft games with towers that dump a bunch of icons onto your map.

If they can nail the level design of these points of interest then this game will be amazing.

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."

And each time you unstuck him, he cracks a little more, until the final encounter where helping him cracks him completely and he dies at your hands, still thanking you for being a faithful friend...

The characterisation has me excited, I thought maybe someone was inside or underneath the pot, not that the pot was the thing that was stuck.

The way to save him will be to leave him stuck somewhere, forever trapped but still alive, instead of free but dead.

Sekiro had TWO NPCs hanging out in pots waiting for you to come by and help them with something, but they turned out to be not-so-savory characters.

A lot more parrying and lot less dodging than I was expecting. Seems like it's leaning towards Sekiro for defense rather than Bloodborne.

I’m surprised at how much this looks like dark souls. Blood borne and Sekiro had their own unique visual style but this just looks like dark souls 4 but open world. Even has estus flask or sunny d or whatever they are gonna call it.

This game looks too much like dark souls and also it is too different from the souls formula. I know that I will never be satisfied and that this is my lot in life.

i'm pretty fine with them being really blatant about it and just giving themselves the chance to jettison from the wrung-out dark souls setting. if they made shittier games it might be a problem, but they don't

Mostly though to be fair it's much more colorful than any of the Dark Souls games and a bit more high fantasy looking.

Based on how the stats are sorted I think it's pretty clear that Mind is MP/FP, since it's below Vigor, Intelligence is sorcery scaling and Arcane is spell slots. Definitely agree with that change from 3, it was kind of silly that taking more FP to get more uses of your weapon arts also implicitly pushed you into picking up spells.

The open world is prob going to be mostly empty/it'll be a lot of traversal and navigation over petty and distracting """""content"""". This is exactly what I wanted when I heard FromSoft openworld, losers need to play and either love/force themselves to love Morrowind, please understand.

Ask yourself what a second Bloodborne game would even be about. Everything kinda got wrapped up in the OG.
