Demon's Souls is an action-RPG developed by From Software and released in 2009. It quickly became popular within hardcore circles for its relentlessly steep difficulty level, deep combat system, and unique multiplayer integration.
@NekuSakuraba: start with whatever class you want, that's the fun way or you can listen to what most people would say (not me I prefer fun) go royal if you want to beat the game quick and easy :|
As for me, I started of as a Knight Fat rolling my way till I could fast roll and that was fun.
In the end it doesn't matter. There's no difference between them, really. Everyone can be everything - at max level everyone is maxed out in everything. It only affects the distribution of your starting stats, armors and weapons/spells. If you want to assign all the attribute points yourself, then Royal is the way to go as it's the only one that starts at level 1.
Royal is a good starter class because you get the soul arrow spell right off the bat. Which is really handy at killing guys at a distance and allows you to sort of test the waters of melee combat at your own pace rather than the sink or swim approach a straight melee class forces on you.
@LordXavierBritish: Not necessarily... I still haven't beaten 1-2 and I just got the fragrance ring from 4-1. Not really that hard to get pretty quickly.
I also started as a knight. It's really tempting to just spend all my souls on buffing my endurance so I can roll fast but I'm trying to be patient and deal with the fat roll for now.
