If you don't mind the old school 16bit I would go with FF6 or FFVI whatever you want to call it. 9 is loved on this site for some reason but it is beyond skippable, as are 8, 13, and 1-3. 4, 5 (sorta), 6, 7, 10, and 12 are the best in the series.

Yeah that theory was always nonsense. Chico is a dude. Quiet definitely is NOT a guy. People saying he was traumatized from the events with Paz are all making stuff up, he talks just fine during Ground Zeroes. They have already released scenes too where no one knows who Quiet is, and some of them (like Miller) just call her She or Her. Miller would recognize Chico. Also I am not sure the timelines even match up, I think Chico would be older than her at the point the story takes place.

I'll renew it when a show that interests me/Diamond is Unbreakable starts up. There's plenty of anime on Netflix I haven't seen yet so why should I keep a subscription for something I'm not gonna use?

I was just kinda being silly but in all seriousness if you do like anime Netflix is not what you want. Other than Knights of Sidonia all Netflix has is last years Funimation shows. So if a person is an "anime" fan they really should go with Crunchyroll, Funimation, or both which is surprisingly cheaper than you might imagine especially if you are okay with subs as sub only viewers pay less on Funimation.

Nope, just Netflix and Crunchyroll. Will probably cancel Crunchyroll once Jojo's is over as well.

You are a terrible person. That said if they keep making JoJo and advance into the new stories past Stardust Crusaders it will literally be years before you cancel.

That said. I have some variety of cable... I also happen to get it for a heinous discount due to reasons. If it were just me and no one else in the home had a say, plus I weren't getting that heinous discount, I would just be using internet based sub services as well.

Hahahaha ah yes the memories of my first Jaggi battle all those years ago! Don't worry you still got plenty of those moments. Like when you fight a Kut Ku, a Kecha Wacha, Rathalos, a Ludroth (actually are Ludroth in 4? not sure), Gore, and a whole slew of other giant SOB's who will probably 2 shot kill you.

JJ is right, get your first real armor set crafted as soon as you can! The Jaggi set is where we all started for a reason! There will be plenty of chances to make new gear coming up too!

I'm also super excited by the rumored prospect that (End game Demons Souls spoilers, possibly Bloodborne early game/some point in time spoilers?) It's possible that Bloodborne is a storyline sequel to Demons Souls, someone came up with a good theory that your character helping the Maiden lull the old one back to sleep at the end of Demons Souls is what got rid of a lot of the magic/soul arts of the world so that's why in Bloodborne everything looks less reliant on magic and more reliant on human technology, apparently someone who got to see some previews also found someone in game doing an "Umbasa' prayer. So if that's all true that's really cool, if they make a whole new world/lore that's great as well but if they built off of Demons Souls stuff that's really cool, especially given how big your Demons characters role was in everything.

Where did you hear this rumor? It wouldn't "shock" me per se, especially since the cannon ending of Demon's is what you describe. However I could see a character making that prayer more as a callback/easter egg and it not really meaning anything. Sort of how every From Software game has the Moonlight Sword in it, even though it was only important / mattered to the lore of King's Field.

Just looking forward to a new action RPG from the best guys at making action RPG's; From Software. Have been eating them up since King's Field on the PS1. Also it gives me more excuses to say things on YouTube like "So today I want to talk about this new game from From Software!" Because having a legit reason to say "from from" is just sort of funny.

@damodar: I was thinking the same thing. I was also thinking about the cost to the developer/publisher. I assume all the stuff that comes with this thing come out of a marketing budget, but if no ones buys it, you might as well burn that money.

None of the stuff in there has been bought yet. It's all just comarketing deals. Notice how the zombie shelter is "custom built", which means they'll only start building the thing after someone buys it.

Actually you can go to that companies website right now and order your own stand alone zombie cabin with solar panels and security cameras to the tune of 81k pounds. At that price it even includes pro install.

@thomasnash: I was aware of dodging In the souls series but I was always led to believe turtleing was a way more effective way to progress in the game. Though I may have been misinformed. But yes the emphasis on reactionary combat as well as understanding frames of animation were slightly off-putting to me at a glance. Now, Bloodborne could very well continue that trend, but it just seemed a bit more active, and paced more like an action game. Not overtly so, but subtly enough that it wouldn't put off experienced souls players, but also be an easier jumping on point for new players.

Uh the frames of animation thing is vastly overplayed. This isn't a for money EVO tournament. As long as you don't do something dumb to expose yourself to damage, such as attacking after an enemy has clearly already started swinging at you, there shouldn't be much problem.

As for the ease... no Bloodbourne is going to be much much harder for new players actually. The sword and board style of play was way easier to learn and much more new player friendly than the "dodge or die" style is. I know self claimed "pro's" who got in a Bloodbourne alpha and said they stopped playing it because it was too hard and they felt From needed to balance it more before it would be worth messing with. We are talking a guy who does SL1 fist runs at DS2.
