How are the English language names of various characters/creatures etc. arrived at?


For example Seath. Or Logan. Or Patches. Are they English versions of Japanese names? Like, why Undead Burg? Why Burg? Was that a translation? Or does From have such a mastery of English that they can choose just the right words that the tone is often perfect?


What is the process?

My friend,

Some of the stuff is questionable but like, I think it's neat on how they chose the English names for simple stuff, like Covetous Demon in 2

Japanese - 貪りデーモン [musabari de:mon]
English - Covetous Demon

貪り [musabari] - this kanji was also used in Gaping Dragon from DSI 貪食 [donshoku]. It means "to long insatiably for something". The English localization picked the word "covetous" that has a meaning of "longing for something, especially if somebody else has it". Works great with the lore: when this demon was a man, he desired queen Mytha's love but she loved another. Who would've thought that DSII is full of romance and love stories.

I am going to do what I always do on my first playthrough which is pick the most melee class possible and forget every button other than attack and dodge and make the game much more difficult than it needs to be, but it will also be the most sweaty try-hard and rewarding journey.

People may hate on Dark Souls 2 but the stretch of game from Drangleic Castle to Undead Crypt to Dragon Shrine is my fav sequence in all the games. I have the most hours in non-scholar Dark Souls 2 than any other Souls game

I'm honestly genuinely curious how many people don't like Dark Souls 2 versus how many people say they don't like Dark Souls 2 only because everyone else says it.

Did people really just want Dark Souls, but again? That's basically what we got with Dark Souls 3.

I liked that they tried something else

FromSoft knocks it out of the park when they have the freedom to create a whole world from scratch, but whenever they've had to tie the lore to an existing franchise it's hosed them up.

Elden Ring 2's story is going to be a mess is what I'm trying to say.

Ratios and Tendency posted:

Early consensus is that Elden Ring is looking to be a 7.1 difficulty game, compared to DS1's 8.3 rating and Sekiro's 9.0. This will be revised on full release obviously.

Sekiro being a light 9 makes sense but difficulty wise I would put Elden Ring at a medium 8

No climbing system, though I think you can jank climb up slopes you aren't supposed to climb by running against them at an angle and jumping.

What other open world games had absolute climbing? I.e., go anywhere you want. Breath of the Wild, Assassin's Creed Origins/Odyssey/Valhalla, Spider-Man, Genshin, Horizon? Maybe there's a ton of them that I never played

Ghost of Tsushima had a grappling hook but you were still cut off from some spots and couldn't climb every mountain
