Nah the wolf warrior class just has a special ability to harass anyone who says "Taiwan" online

I was confused about mind/int/faith/arcane because I didn't play Bloodborne, but it does make me wonder if they'll be doing item magic too now that I know what it was. No matter what, it seems like there's gonna be LOTS of abilities here.

That's a great point. Them bringing over Hunter's Tools from BB would be a nice addition, although with magic and miracles already in the game I fear they might be a bit more gimmicky.

I've always regarded the Souls series as a Zelda game for adults without the puzzles, the combat gives me underlying OoT vibes every time. I think it's a good thing.

I've always regarded the Souls games as the only real true 3D castlevania games. (Or more specifically, metroidvania games). Like Capcom made a couple attempts at 3D Castlevanias but I don't think they really caught on. But FromSoft without even knowing it made what I think are the real successors to the 2D Castlevanias. I mean if you think about it all the elements are there. Medieval style setting, gruesome monsters, a pretty high difficulty level, lots of RPG elements. I was a huge fan of Symphony of the night and all the Gameboy Advance / Nintendo DS Castlevanias but unfortunately it seems like Capcom has abandoned the franchise so the Souls games scratch that itch for me very well.

I'm so glad that shields are back, and that they added a block counter move by the looks of it. I've never liked parrying, probably why I hated Sekiro. Shields are cool dammit.

Also I'm curious if we're gonna have Pyromancy in this game, an equivalent to it that has a different selection of spells or if we're just sticking to sorcery and miracles?

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

If Pyromancy or its equivalent is in here, I'd like it to be more like Dark Souls 1 Pyromancy, where it is ~magic of the people~ that doesn't need int or faith (or arcane?) but is functional out of the box (apart from upgrading the item to cast it, of course).

Why don't you perform zazen, facing a wall?
Arcane probably influences item discovery as well. It did that in BB

Shields are lame and bad but I didn't parry in any Souls game.

I pity those who are unable to feel the pure joy of blocking things

I'm hoping magic barriers can be in the mix here. The wall of light was a start, but that was a magic parry, not a magic wall. I want a magic wall, dang it

Some of the larger soulsborne people/streamers/content-whatevers are confirmed having 72 hour access to the network test already.

Like, right now.

Of those that have confirmed it, looks like FightinCowboy, Lance McDonald, Prod, and Malcolm Reynolds Oroboro

It seems to me that Fromsoft International Community Management is pretty on-point, and they can escalate issues up the chain to Fromsoft for the first year or so after a game is released, but they very quickly stop doing anything after the final patch is released.

I noticed a lot of weapon blocking in the vid as well, I wonder if there's some Sekiro stuff going on.

50 thousand people used to live here. Now, it's the Mushroom Kingdom.
Based on the video you can break enemy posture like in Sekiro or Nioh.

I think the stamina management is very similar to Dark Souls, rather than Sekiro. Maybe they added perfect blocking for weapons?

Just a friendly reminder of what it looks like.

We'll do punctuation later.
it was confirmed from the press preview a while ago that there's a new counter move you can do immediately upon blocking an attack - you can see it at times in the gameplay footage we've seen.

they did say that spirits you can summon will be based on enemies, but i'm not sure if the spirit in the first pic is the exact same thing as the enemy in the second, or just a spirit of a similar enemy or something

And it's really only a matter of time until Lance Mcdonald can get into the test version whenever he wants, although he probably won't actually show what he found until after the game is out.

The point is made that the jumping-arrow-to-the-chest interrupts the blowing of a horn. Presumably to alert others to the PC's presence.


Also, perhaps the jump is necessary because friendly fire is on.
