I'm a Souls youtuber, most of the prominent ones got an invite last month to see a demo for Elden Ring. We got flown out to FROM HQ, and was a really cool experience, Tanimura (whose the co director on the game) presented it to us. It was about thirty minutes. I believe the same demo is going to be shown to the press at Gamescom (It won't be shown to the public, but you guys are getting a two minute gameplay trailer.)
>The setting of the demo is an early game swamp area. The game honestly look's gorgeous, graphic fidelity of Sekiro but enhanced (NPC's even have voice sync). You can really see the decay from the dying trees and rotting flora. >An example of the increased graphic fidelity, instead of just being slowed down, our character moves through the black muck with a unique animation, struggling with all their might. >Character in question is a Knight, though they emphasised they wanted a more early medieval look for the human kingdoms of the world, wearing Norman-Knight esque gear instead of classic plate. Tanimura emphasis the game will have alot of different playstyles, with comparisons to Dark Souls specifically. I was paying attention to specific mechanics he didn't mention but were seen; Poise is like Dark Souls 1, the character could tank hits. Movement was slow, heavy armour now actually slows down movement speed, but is even more resistant to attacks. > The arms were a simple broadsword, and a heater shield. Weapon's Arts are back, unchanged from Dark Souls 3. Two Handing the broadsword let's you go into a stance, in which you can flourish the blade two times. >World design is way more open. The Swamp is massive, and according to Tanimura this is Souls answer to the openworld, though he emphasised the open nature is to benefit exploration, and will not do much to change classic FROMSOFT level design, areas are relatively self contained.
>The main enemies are mostly wraiths, victims who drowned in the swamp and haven't been able to find rest. The entire swamp is filled with half submerged, mummified corpses, for a great battle took place decades ago. Their phantasmal, though you can see traces of bone and they wear spectral, tattered robes of darkness, covered in algae and decay. They rise from the black mud, and try to devour the player. Can only be damaged with blessed weapons, or with using a certain item. >Other foes encounter include "skeleton" (I use the term loosely, because they have bits of flesh and muscle still on them) soldiers, wearing both Welsh-looking and Norse equipment, using swords and axes, with glowing red eyes. And undead horses. >In the sky hovers a red, glowing sky, that showers the place in an eerie, ethereal red light. According to Tanimura, the phases of celestial objects such as the sun and moons (there's three moons in the sky in Elden Ring) play a huge role in the lore and gameplay. When different phases happen, the world is changed, including varying levels of enemies, NPC's becoming active, new areas being open, and even bosses becoming available to fight. The sky can changed depending on story events, as well as the player discovering "rituals" and enacting them. It sounds like the cut ritual system from Dark Souls 3. The Red Sun is described as "when those who want to devour flesh rise from the earth." >We reach a certain point were the swamp branches into two paths...and a soft, haunting song is heard. The player follows the song through the mud, going right, into they reach a clearing, with a gorgeous, lake is located. A beautiful, black Stallion is seen, prancing around the water, and bathing. A small cutscene plays, as the player approaches to pet the animal, before his hand gets stuck. The Mare is revealed to be a daemon, a Kelpie, as it becomes a nightmarish abomination, dragging the player into the depths of the lake.
Jose Richardson
Anyone have any questions?
Austin Howard
BTW, their aiming for an early 2020 release.
Noah Flores
how much of a faggot is vaatividya?
Ethan Evans
I don't believe you user
Levi Davis
Vaati is nice in person, just very awkward. He loses all of the lull of his voice in real life. He was reluctant to go, because of his commitments to his family.
Michael Lee
>early game swamp area Fuck Fromsoft and fuck jannies.
Jaxon Foster
And I forgive you for that.
Logan Harris
I thought it was supposed to be completely open world
Easton Ramirez
Were there any towns etc. shown? Does it have one hub like Firelink or does it have multiple safe towns since it's more open?
Did it look anything like the trailer? Because that abd what you wrote don't seem to be similar at all.
Jason Harris
I really had it with their berserk faggotry fucking get some own ideas also, another swamp? ffs
anyway, the gameplay will be good, but the story will be subpar bullshit again
Ethan Adams
so its dark souls 4 then. thanks for confirmation.
Henry Hughes
>instead of just being slowed down, our character moves through the black muck with a unique animation, struggling with all their might. Not new, at all.
>early medieval This is actually excites me, leather, scale, splint and chain don't get enough love.
>Weapon arts are back This is shit. Why the fuck wouldn't they at least attempt trick weapons or something like them?
We need info on lore, too.
Oliver Davis
>Tanimura (whose the co director on the game) Isn't that the DaS2 fucker? Oh God say no please
Julian Sanders
>youtubers getting priority over gamescom Lol what?
Juan Campbell
I meant it's cool and all but >another swamp >it's a massive swamp >it's a massive swamp in the early game this is just awful
Joseph Parker
What are you doing in my swamp?!
Benjamin Gonzalez
Multiplayer, yes, no, potato?
Jack Lopez
He salvaged DS2 in like 1 year and made the DS2 DLCs. He also co-directed and worked on the PvP for DS3.
It's a good thing he's on board as a key member and Miyazaki knows he need someone balancing shit properly, BB was all over the place and had super bad PVP and the awful and OP as fuck gem system.
Dominic Roberts
There was a friendly skeleton NPC, but I saw no towns or villages in the demo. There could be a hub zone. The game looks to be really low fantasy in the aesthetics, armor and weapons this early on are stuff taken from human history, so I couldn't see Trick Weapons working.
There was a small part after getting fucked by the Kelpie, but I don't think I should spoil it here. They showed a new character going through the swamp in a different "state', as well as fighting a boss. They've made it very clear it's intended to be a spiritual successor.
Xavier Johnson
>game has a open world >the open world is a swamp
please no please
no
Sebastian James
Who gives a fuck.
Will there be multiplayer invasions , yes or no. The only thing that matters in souls games
Benjamin Ortiz
Souls PVP is trash and PVE is way better.
Jeremiah Morris
Kelpie? Fuck yeah. If we never get a decent Berserk game at least we have From.
Owen Reyes
DS2 had extremely fun PVP and invasions.
Joshua Collins
>they wanted a more early medieval look for the human kingdoms of the world, wearing Norman-Knight esque gear instead of classic plate >wearing both Welsh-looking and Norse equipment Wanna know how I know you're lying faggot, OP?
D2 wasn't his fault. He was chosen to salvage the game after the other director fucked up
Colton Smith
Did you call VaatiVidya a cunt for literally stealing all of Yea Forums's theories and discussions about Dark Souls and taking credit for them in order to propel his own career?
Grayson Smith
>so I couldn't see Trick Weapons working Why not give two-handing weapons new, wholly realized movesets? Damn shame.
Dylan Harris
>The welsh and Norse description was given to the skeletons who belonged to two factions who fought each other on the battlefield.
>not role playing as a witch in ds3 >not having the camouflage magic and hiding to ambush players
Shit is extremely fun breh
Adam Bailey
No, you're just awful.
Oliver Jenkins
Only thing I like is the fact they said they're going for a more early medieval-esque look to the game, everything else just sounds fucking obnoxious like in every other Souls game. also >swamp >is the open world part as well this is the worst fucking decision, nobody likes swamp levels THAT much, they're best done in a smaller scale and have them be over with shortly.
This. Only retards play souls game for the story and pve. Its the same game every time.
>every npc looks supicious and finish their dialogue with a laugh or sarcastic comment >every boss is spam roll Is so damn boring. Pvp is where is at.
Adam Sanders
So does DS3, it just features a lot more running around.
Bentley Allen
>faggot OP shitting out a fanfic larp is now a fact When did Yea Forums turn into trannyera?
Elijah Cruz
The proof was literally when DARK SOULS 1 threads were rampant at the time of its PC release. He literally lurked threads, took the theories and claimed credit
Noah Clark
Whats the control scheme?
Evan Peterson
When did you get AIDS?
Leo Gray
Is the art style as fucking retarded as it looked in the trailer, or is it closer to Dark Souls and Berserk? Please try to be as descriptive as possible. Did they mention how big the world is? Can you ride any horses? Are there NPC companions? How was the music?
William Moore
>there is another fucking swamp level
STOP THIS SHIT
Robert Roberts
Imagine giving this much of a fuck about souls pvp. Kek
Parker Jones
DO YOU SEE HOW IT BUUURNS?
Anthony Taylor
I don't believe you.
Xavier Long
You're a fucking retard.
Adam James
Thief class should be able to have an ability to steal items from enemies
I would actually like to see a dedicated multiplayer game with this combat and character creation, with things like different maps and game modes. Someone really aught to try this instead of making more melee PvP games with first person directional combat.
Julian Kelly
valley of defilement was my favourite level ama
Brandon Peterson

Jordan White
why does every souls game have a swamp level?
Lincoln Hall
It's okay, later you go fight in the sewers.
Andrew Hernandez
>Berserk invented swamps, undead, and spooky celestial events Have sex and then read a book.
Charles Collins
That kind of high fantasy stuff wasn't shown (I think it'll be for the god's and their champions. It's an unholy mashup up Arthurian, Celtic, and Norse mythology.
They only talked about the openness of the world design, and how levels would now be "sprawling" In an interview FROM said it was there biggest game.
Yes. I will not say anything else.
I don't know.
The one boss theme I heard was basically heavy Norse chanting, mixed with horror music. I liked it. Yesterday. Unchanged from Dark Souls 3. Dosen't have any of the extra traversal as Sekiro had.
This is the most cringiest LARP I've seen on Yea Forums in recent memory. When was the last time we got actual leaks on this board? As in, exclusive leaks not just anons copy pasting trannyera/reddit/twitter leaks which at this point have more credibility than this shit of a board.
He said he's a Youtuber thinking it'll be more believable despite actually being completely retarded because it partially outs who he could be and narrows down the leaker suspects. An actual leaker would fucking never say something like that nor would he shit out a cringy backstory on how he got the leaks.
He goes with the swamp level because retarded faggots ITT will samefag about it and because a Souls game having a swamp level is a meme now. He also parrots old, now completely retarded "leaks", that came after the initial surge of leaks like the norse aesthetics.
You're all fucking morons and newfags for playing along.
Connor Myers

Probably a larp but if legit, why didn’t they just call this dark souls 4 and be done with it?
Luis Russell
Alright, From Software, we've got another souls like game and we need a fresh, new, unique setting!
Havu we done-u the swampu~~?
Joseph Gonzalez
don't quote stuff nobody ever said you massive fucking faggot the point is that those berserk references get really fucking old and annoying what a strange coincidence, that out of the billion possible fantasy creatures it's yet another one that happened to be in berserk

Demon Souls tendency?
I skipped Bloodborne and Sekiro, did thos have anything like this?
Seems weird to bring environment variation mechanic. It's never been done right and always feels like artificial replayability.
Logan Perry
How much of Arthurian legend is French and how much is British?
Kelpies are older than Arthurian legend, almost definitely Scottish or Welsh.
Joseph Collins

I sleep.
Dominic Martinez
>poise is like Dark 1 Too good to be true.
Aiden Brooks
bloodborne had moon phases that changed enemy layouts and npc interaction, moon changed at certain points in the game.
sekiro also toyed with phases that resulted in new enemies popping up
Justin Watson
Sekiro didn’t just toy with it. It’s a full on implementation of it that’s dependent on where you are in the narrative.
Adrian Bailey
>Tanimura t. ds2fags
Logan Cruz
I see, thanks.
Not a big fan, desu. I'd rather have those new enemies in a new well designed area built around them, for me to find it in a natural way, on normal pve run.
Replayability should come from the core experience, not from cheap A/B routes, light/darkness endings, decisions that break any sense of pace because it all comes to reload the save or shit like that.
If OP is to be believed, Elden Ring sounds like what DaS3 was originally intended to be before it had to cut down for time/budget reasons.
Cameron Walker
ANOTHER FUCKING SWAMP
Adam Wilson
It does practically the opposite. These larp threads are always far too on the nose.
Isaiah Hall
Its real.
Ryan Hernandez
How do you know?
Noah Martinez
Arthur himself is an old welsh story but the French later added some of their stories too it and mashed it together. It’s really a hybrid of many different legends.
In terms of artstyle, atmosphere, gameplay and sound/music.

Brayden Reyes
Ok OP, why exactly did FS Japan fly in a bunch of influencers for an NDA closed doors demo of their next game? Doesn't seem like a smart marketing move.
David Ward
they did the same with sekiro
Jace Myers
Big if true but that really sounds like From is making Witcher 4
DS2 has the same system as DS1, but armors just have way less poise so you can't get 140 poise and become unstaggerable by 99% of attacks.
Basically DS2 fixed DS1's mess of shitty balance and it's great to hear Tanimura will be co-directing this one.
Julian Williams
What is the boss?
Leo Rogers
there was a similar leak months ago. that user mentioned a swamp area, slow movement, heavy hitting mace weapon and weapon arts
Adrian Reyes
Mine too, i hope elden ring swamp is fucked up like 5-2
Blake Roberts
>Kelpie This confirms that it's fake, From doesn't just take monsters from real life mythologies (aside from common fantasy stuff like the hydra). Even Sekiro didn't have any Japanese youkai. And kelpie is like the most obvious celtic thing, so this kind of fake could only come from someone with very low creativity, that is opposite of From and Miyazaki Also I still don't know why people treat the norse and celtic rumors like they're true
Sebastian Williams
All of the good stuff will be cut before release
Aaron Ross
Why are you wasting time larping on Yea Forums?
Brody Watson
Elden ring is witcher but actually good
Dylan Cox
So it's pretty much just a Souls game, but a bit more DaS2-ish, which is nice if they don't fuck it up. Assuming it's real.
Carter Brooks
Please be real.
Jack Murphy
It's G.R.R Martin, not Fromsoft, he doesn't care about not taking from real life mythology.
Hunter Russell
>norse and celtic rumors
the trailer itself has a Valkyrie type character, and the man and woman smashing the ring(?) seem very clearly Celtic/European inspired too even the guy at the start with all the arms seems Celtic
That was unironically disappointing to read after we had a game like Sekiro from From. This seems like a total step back
Lincoln Campbell
Jesus christ, when will Miyazaki stop?
Who gives a fuck about Sekiro?
Gavin Sanchez
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH
Aiden Reyes
why don't the Berserk guys just let From make a Berserk game at this point? every game besides Sekiro has at least a dozen references to it
Jason Powell
Sekiro is subhuman dog shi
James Cruz
GET OUT OF MY SWAMP
William Harris
Yup. Soulsbabs are here
Daniel Sanchez
I remember people saying the same after the first leaks of Sekiro (one weapon, named character non customizable, ability tree) and the game came out absolutely great. It's all about execution, and these guys deserve some trust.
The Souls series dosen't hold a candle to DMC. So stop trying to pretend your action games are good.
Eli Ortiz
this leak is very similar to another Yea Forums "leak" (probably by the same person) which got debunked by an insider who was right about everything he said in the past
Dominic White
Except Bamco has said they aren't doing that gamescon event at all.
You're fucking fake.
Matthew Butler
Only zoomers thought that shit was bad. Sekiro gave us perfect expectations and execution. It was obvious even before release that it would deviate from the Souls formula and that’s why most of us were excited for it and appreciated it.
This leak is disappointing to read no matter how you look at it.
Jace Jackson
If any of this information is true I'm skipping it. I'm fucking tired of dark souls. I was hoping for different gameplay, especially after sekiro was so good.
Sebastian Jenkins
>He also co-directed and worked on the PvP for DS3. Wow he directed the worst pvp of the series.
Brody Barnes
No Sekiro was a step back. Fun action stealth game, made sense not to have PVP and COOP because that + stealth would be a mess.
Glad to see they're going back to making 10/10 games with 1000 hours of replayability.
Aaron Smith
what if this is an actual berserk game?
Dylan Morris
No, he had nothing to do with Demon's Souls.
Luke Clark
No they said there refusing to comment on rumours about an event retard.
Chase Martin
It doesn't dissapoint me at all. It sounds like a more gritty, more decadent take on Dark Souls with a different mythos and a bigger world to explore. It's what I want and what I expected. I'm sure gameplay will offer some novelties, same way than BB and Sekiro offered them. I don't need them to reinvent the wheel.
Easton Young
you mean pic related right? yeah, this was debunked by Omnipotent
factually incorrect, Bandai is absolutely at Gamescom as confirmed by Geoff Keighley and Bandai themselves on their website, all they've said is they're not commenting on rumors and we know Elden Ring isn't playable at Gamescom, but that doesn't mean it won't be behind closed doors or we won't get a trailer
Yet despite that wall of cringy autism we still have morons trusting the OP ITT
Lucas Nguyen
How do you know the OP isn't trust worthy?
Grayson James
How do you know I didn't fuck your mother?
Jace Ross
>When different phases happen, the world is changed, including varying levels of enemies, NPC's becoming active, new areas being open, and even bosses becoming available to fight.
did they fucking put tendency in the game again? absolute madlads if true
Noah Barnes
Sekiro is closer to Metal Gear Rising than Dark Souls
Grayson Ramirez
It was bad if you want replability AKA tons of fucking content, I only replayed Sekiro once since it launched, trying out the few prosthetics I didn't use much on my first run.
Meanhile on any other souls have I'd have 6+ builds in the first month all with different play styles.
Leo James
Same reason bloodborne wasnt Dark Souls 4
Camden Walker
Shame if that's fake, because it sounds great.
Kevin Clark
I bet you think Borderlands and Fortnite are fun as well.

Levi Peterson
Maybe there under NDA?
Juan Thompson
Having 100 weapons with completely different movesets for both 1H and 2H as well as weapon art abilities is content, gameplay.
Logan Murphy
Were you expecting a totally different game for some reason?
Kevin Jones
Christ Miyazaki, christ...
Dylan Green
The thing that confirms this is fake is the GRRM influence on story, since now we know that he's only responsible for myths etc. And since OP's leak is very similar to this one, it's safe to say that it's fake too
Adam Brown
Why the fuck would OP even post if he's a prominent Youtuber that was flown to FROM HQ. That would make the leaker stupidly easy to find This is fake as shit
Gabriel Reyes
Sekiro is loved by feminists.
Jaxon Davis
I have a very large black penis.
Cooper Parker

Kevin Parker
The smoking gun is Lobosjr didn't alter his update schedule last month. Also, >I'm a Souls youtuber There's only like 4 or 5 relevant ones remaining after the others died off and ENB's life is in shambles. It'd be legal suicide to leak it here.
Leo Lewis

Jack Diaz
I think that's what Miyazaki is trying to do. He references them so much to try to get noticed by them so they can let him make his dream game.
Nathan Baker
a darksouls esque mmo could be legit if done right but no one would be willing to risk the budget needed to make it not shit
Nathaniel Howard
Is the equipment and armor more like 1066 Norman Knights with spangenhelms or old Celtic warriors?
let's them do new things without people complaining that it's not following souls lore.
Easton Jackson
Too much baggage, they're best when doing something new, see BB.
Jacob Roberts
Demon Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Sekiro are the only From games worth playing DS2 and 3 are hot shit
Gabriel Rodriguez
Dark Souls 1 is my favorite game ever and I agree with you
Landon Taylor
>have a hard-on for Dying Earth genre >DS3 with the red sun and everything is way more Dying Earth than any other game in the series >haven't played it but worried I won't enjoy it that much considering how much it gets shat on
Holy shit it's practically just a more autistic and detailed version of and people are still replying seriously.
>early medieval so no plate, it's all norse and welsh and celtic and shit Why do you guys keep pushing this meme after the reveal? And why do retarded cuckolds in this thread keep believing it?
We saw full on 16th Maximilian Renaissance plate knights in the trailer, webm related. Clear as day fingered Gothic gauntlets. Embossed decorated plate armor. Barred visor helmet complete with a gorget. Wielding a 17th century styled Partisan spear. Battlefield littered with zweihänders that have giant fancy crossguards. There are even visible 15th century sallet helmets on some of the soldiers. The very first concept art for this game is a man wearing a skin robe surrounded by Gothic architecture such as those massive supporting pillars.
It's not middle ages. Having a giant RPG where most of your "heavy" armors are just variants of hauberks, surcoats and lamellar armors is lame and restrictive. They showed you an entire army of full plate knights. You're getting full fucking plate knights especially because horses are part of the gameplay now. Celticunts fuck off already.
He can't answer you. He's shitposting. Read above.
Makes sense that it’s low fantasy as GRRM is also working on the game, who’s recent books are low fantasy as well.
I’ll believe this.
Jaxon Morales

I don't think they're gonna go that route, but would love to have mythos set hundreds of thousands years before, a literally dying sun, cosmic tones and subtle scifi winks. And Dorcas as your leveling maid
Alexander Long

Gene Wolfe is a great writer. Possibly the best in the genre along Peake.
Aiden Murphy
It's true. Nobody cares about that aesthetic except very few autistic /his/cunts. 99% of all RPG devs are aware of this which is why you have full plates in every fantasy game. Japs give even less of a shit about it. Especially Miyazaki. It's all about the knights baby.
Keep seething while you wait for Neverlord.
Good old medieval-Renaissance fantasy setting. Dark Souls 4.
Start with New Sun. Dont listen to The Soldier series can be very confusing if you don't have a good grasp of Greek history, myth, and Herodotus, it's also written from the point of view of an amnesiac foreigner, adding too the confusion. New Sun can be enjoyed just for the cool shit and aesthetic writing even if you don't see all the hints, vast conspiracies and religious subtext. Imagine if Charles Dickens and Marcel Proust had a child who was born in the 1930s and wrote a science fantasy novel. That's the Book of the New Sun
>You don't know what low fantasy means. I guess I should have ended my post with /s like they do on reddit

>Imagine if Charles Dickens and Marcel Proust had a child who was born in the 1930s and wrote a science fantasy novel. More like imagine if Borges had commited to fully write one of his invented books.
I'll get both of em. Thanks for the suggestions. Besides, I need to read some more for fucks sake
Elijah Hernandez
>From doesn't just take monsters from real life mythologies What are demons? What are dragons? What are Basilisks? Sure, they add their own spin on it, but they absolutely do this all the time

Go on.

It always felt to me like BotNS was "what if Jack Vance's Dying Earth was a story told by Borges". I don't really see the Dickens on it. Care to elaborate? (Being honest here, and I love to talk about these books)

to think if berserk didn't exists miyazaki would be fucked, the man can't ever be original for once

reminder that every "leak" that includes kelpies, fomorians, valkyries and real life gods is fake

You got it. Wolfe is one of my favorite author's ever, here's an ultra rare Yoshitaka Amano New Sun series cover for you.
Her arm looks like the greyscale disease from Game of Thrones

because it would be restrained by its source material.

Outside of the stuff that everyone knows about Berserk, like the monsters and the Dragonslayer and Griffith, it's really not something that would translate super great to a video game, least of all the kind that From makes.
The vast majority of Berserk is just the characters sitting around talking or traveling or preparing to fight insert monster villain here. people only talk about the particularly cool parts because they're cool
Nah it's just some kind of a cloth/leather fingerless glove. And a ring. See how it's all resting -on- her skin. And since the blue smudgy stuff is also on it it means it's not a skin disease or whatever. Probably just some kind of ash or grime.
Many of the characters are Dickens types (Hildegrin, Jonas, all the various huntsmen, miners, magistrates and common types that Severian meets.) Graveyards, carriage rides and races, slums, pick-pockets, duels, unscrupulous shopkeepers, vain cruel aristocrats, prisons, ghosts etc. There is more, but I'm typing this on my phone and it's getting annoying. Also Gene Wolfe said often that Charles Dickens was one of and possibly his favorite writer.

The tone is much more light hearted than New Sun, but the combination of comfy slice of life and conspiracy fiction presents the world (Whorl?) much better than New Sun imho.
A lot of animal sacrifice, sneaking around and some really good characters.

Sounds boring. Demon's Souls was truly their first and last innovative game with original ideas.
Benjamin Jackson
YHWH is completely no nonsense. He loves his good slaughter.
Lincoln Diaz
Jesus is based
Jose Cook
Demons Souls was just Kings Field in third person, man.
Hunter Sullivan
Nice.
Henry Flores
That he is except Jews are not.
Aaron Cook
Not anymore. They used to be until they rejected our Lord.

>haven't played it but worried I won't enjoy it that much considering how much it gets shat on It's pretty good user don't bother taking listening to the endless shitposts, At this point I'm convinced it's das2fags trying to shit on das3s reputation in a vein attempt to make their rejected title look more appealing BB>Des=Das=Das3>Sek>>>Das2
Ancient Hebrews were pretty based. Not sinless of course but they were still following the Torah as much as possible. In a time where every single surrounding tribe and nation were having hedonistic homo orgies and sacrificing babies to bull gods they were the only ones to reject that lifestyle.
Then of course they got cocky and prideful by the time Jesus arrived. He even called them out on it and said the Christian gentiles are the Abraham's seed, not them. Synagogues of Satan etc. The modern "Jews" don't even follow the Torah. Their newly written Talmud pretty much overwrites most if not all of it.
and it was pretty good, dark souls was also really good

>hurr durr hey faggots is me anonymous with some epic leaks btw no i dont have proof xD >WOAH HOLY SHIT!!!! every fucking time with you faggots i swear to god
James Robinson
Combat system. Please tell me its not dark souls 4. Spamming LB was old by the end of das1 at the very most. Are there different attacks? Combos? Special skills thats not arts that are useless at worst, niche and limited at best?
Carson Moore
>Pvp is where is at Ah yes, an "insert colour here" lagging faggot. Truly masterpiece quality PvP.
Robert Jones
Miyazaki already said they're going back to their RPG roots and using the basis of Dark Souls 3 instead of a more action focused Sekiro. Also OP is a shitposting faggot and you're a moron. Read the thread.
>Vaati is nice in person, just very awkward. Dude fled the BB scene after he got caught plagarizing
Easton Johnson
Weapon arts shouldn't exist. You cannot prove me wrong.
>dude here's a shitty poise buff lmao >wow, and this weapon has a shitty stamina buff! >and this weapon has a weapon art attack that is literally never worth using! amazing!
