Reacting to VaatiVidya's Explaining the First Half of Sekiro

[@francisfoucault-bouchard129]

When Vaati said he expected Tomoe to get her own DLC hits harder since we all know there's no DLC for Sekiro.

[@Tomp4ul]

I feel like if they ever do Sekiro 2, she'll be part of it, if it's a continuation of the same narrative anyway.

[@heron619]

I think Sekiro and Elden Ring were being developed simultaneously and that might've been the reason we didn't get a Sekiro DLC simply because they didn't have the resourses to allocate for making a DLC cause they had to work on Elden Ring.

[@strykerx2461]

I've heard some stuff about Melania being based on what Tomoe was supposed to be but I'm not sure how true that is It would be cool tho

[@strykerx2461]

​@@Tomp4ul I think they'd follow up on the dragons return ending and maybe find some information about Tomoe nd Takeru from someone in the west that they met. Maybe meet their spirits Have Wolf fight some gods just for the hell of it There's a lot of potential

[@TheJerbol]

@@Tomp4ul That would be the greatest day

[@_2fcd_978]

There really aren't enough Sekiro lore reactions out there. Thank you for giving this to us.

[@viggospiggo7306]

Yes you should definitely watch the sekiro lore, it’s amazing how everything ties together

[@temi472]

Your analysis of why sekiro is soulsborne is pretty spot on. The themes are generally the same. Would definitely watch the rest of the vaati sama lore videos

[@lemjustlem]

22:20 The Dragon of the Divine Realm came from Korea; he attacks you with a very recognizable REAL-WORLD relic. It's called the Seven-Branched Sword, and it was given as a gift 1,500 years ago from a chieftan of Baekje to the tribe of Yamato.

[@nihal.organa]

Yes, please react to the rest! I love Sekiro's lore so much, it was the first time I saw Vaati's videos, a couple of years ago. You'll love the rest, it's amazing

[@dearikj90]

FromSoft used to produce a series of ninja stealth action games called the Tenchu series. The last title was way back on the Xbox 360. At one point FromSoft announced that they were going to be reviving two of their old IPs. One is Armored Core which is still on the way. The other was Tenchu. Sekiro was supposed to be a successor to Tenchu which is why we have a lot of jumping, stealth, wall climbing, wall-hanging and ninja tools. These were all parts of the Tenchu series. However the more they worked on it the more Dark Souls' style design creeped in until Sekiro became something of a blending of Tenchu and Bloodborne. It grew its own identity.

[@michaljanco3240]

I would love if you reacted to the other lore videos Vaati made. I feel like some storylines and events that you easily miss while playing the game are the best FROMSOFT has written.

[@Tomp4ul]

Same!

[@imrankhundkar545]

Yes please

[@Williamhand436]

I enjoyed the video Emma this was fun to watch

[@ok3708]

I agree that it's such a challenging game that you miss out on the story, it was during my second playthrough that I finally took in the story properly

[@Zottie]

This is great and I'd definitely watch more Vaati reaction videos!

[@gurnoorsekhon6402]

I have a feeling Emma doesn't know the identity of Tengu

[@Kevin-uz5he]

While there's no plan for a DLC there IS a rumor about an animated series for Sekiro, similar to the Cyberpunk Edgerunners. I think it could work perfectly to add to the main story without taking out development time of FromSoft.

[@jameyplemons105]

Emma, I’m not sure if you will ever even see this but I came across your videos through the bloodborne chalice you did with Symbalily and I’ve been a huge fan ever since. I never write comments like this but you’ve been an immense light in my life and you inspire me daily 🧡 (Orange heart for Fanta, obviously)

[@Sevrax]

you have to make a video of all the unfinished things you miseed in sekiro like a certain sculpture boss fight!

[@mediocreMorpheus7795]

Claims its a chill out Sunday, but was actually filmed on a Monday, and released on a Tuesday.

[@lemonl0re588]

am definetely here for more Sekiro lore, emma! would also love to see deepdives and icebergs of soulsborne games, too

[@LourdessApekatt]

Well, now that you have completed the game, may I recommend Max0r's sekiro video? Backwards controls, mods, *EXTREME SUFFERING* . Not an incorrect summary or review, but I still find it pretty funny! Just an idea though

[@evilgibson]

boring.

[@LourdessApekatt]

@@evilgibson I sea XD

[@puupipo]

Yeah I'd totally watch more Sekiro lore reactions! Based on some of your reactions to this video there seems to be at least one cool lore twist that you don't know about yet and it'll be great to see your reaction when you find out. I'm not too optimistic though because someone's probably just going to say it in this comments section...

[@alistmaker]

Yes! I love these reactions. More, more, more. I also hope in the future you do reactions to his Bloodborn lore videos. TY for Sharing.

[@RedSoakedSponge]

i wouldnt say what you described makes Sekiro a soulsborne game. It makes it a From Software game. I always thought soulsborne games are all down to the mechanics involved more than the story telling. I can be wrong of course.

[@eagonten]

Agreed with you point of how sad it is that Kuro had no childhood. also i hope you watch more sekiro lore

[@Tomp4ul]

Definitely here for more Sekiro lore! Also, agree it's still massively soulsborne. The gameplay might've changed up a bit, and some people will always insist that if the combat isn't DS/BB clone that it isn't a soulsborne game, but it still has all the core gameplay elements that make it soulsborne, just with more of a focus on reactions & skill in moment-to-moment gameplay, rather than builds & gearing in the more traditional RPG souls style, and that's before even mentioning the way From writes and tells stories - Sekiro has a tonne of juice in that regard! It's up there with Bloodborne imo.

[@ogreman81]

More lore please!

[@ishfaqhamza6607]

Loved it ❤

[@flusterdouglas9326]

Yessss! More Sekiro lore videos plz!

[@zaustus1500]

What a shame Sekiro never got DLC, it's my favorite Fromsoft game and I would have loved more of it.

[@kaitenova]

Maaan I love sekiro lore

[@CrazeeAdam]

Oh and there was no real DLC for Sekiro. It was pretty much the only FromSoft game without story DLC. There was updates including a boss rush. But no story DLC

[@gabrielcristian8038]

Sekiro and demon souls

[@CrazeeAdam]

@@gabrielcristian8038 true. Demons souls as well however I don't blame him there as Miyazaki was brought in to kind of save the project as i understand it. And when the original Demons was made, DLC for sure wasn't as popular as it now a days for big story related stuff.

[@jabba2072]

Sekiro isn’t considered a Soulsborne game because the combat, movement/exploration, weapon system, leveling and storytelling are all vastly different than the other games. Now they of course have some similar themes and mechanics but when you line them up Sekiro is the only CLEAR outlier. Also the creator did say it wasn’t a soulsborne.

[@SolidSnake240]

Yea it's more of a character action game like Ninja Gaiden or DMC but just done in the fromsoft style.

[@demonseed360]

"It's not a SoulsBorne Game because I'm not good at it" Is how you can translate statements from Sekiro critics.

[@piggnut18]

More! More Vaati Lore!!

[@jdkiiski]

More of the DEEPEST lore, please!

[@jamesarthurkimbell]

From loves their effeminate princes but with Kuro (and seemingly Miquella, too) they said let's go further and get a female voice actor to really mix up the gender

[@angellarrea1012]

Please I want to see more sekiro videos , it’s an incredible game and I love it

[@OldManSakaki]

Snuck in a Red Dwarf quote

[@onechilldude4247]

Goddammit Watch the blessing of despair😂

[@Vladek16]

Now that you've played Sekiro, I think it's the good moment to watch the amazingly funny cartoon parody "SEKIROT "Might Die A Lot"" by Matthew Shezmen His parody are amazing in themself but even more when you played the game, because most of the joke are sooooo relatable xD

[@Arkayjiya]

Thematically, yeah Sekiro is very close to a Souls game. But for all we know, the next armored core will be too xD When people say "it's not a souls game" they're mostly talking gameplay-wise because for the themes and story I agree with you, it's very close (although the way the story is presented is a bit different).

[@acekensei]

yeah more sekiro lore videos

[@dang8705]

would love to see you react to drewmora or the recent fudgemuppet elderscrolls lore videos.

[@Rorschachx11-ie4uf]

Please do another one

[@Clickie13]

DLC? How old was that video?

[@wa56ington]

hey! yes! 😂

[@Lacronildodasilva]

Honestly, I can't say Sekiro really was that much hard for you... The start of your journey was flawless and you kept the high quality of your skills up until the fight with Genichiro at least. It was from then on that you started running around more and paying less atention to enemy patterns and placements. The time you spent without playing the game dulled your senses and made you forget a lot of the background characters too, and that was all. With how much stealth this game has to offer it's actually pretty easy to find your angle if you scout the area before letting yourself be seen

[@davidd.6448]

MORE LORE!

[@Black_Barley415]

I’m interested! Sekiro lore is the best. I was hoping you’d check these out.

[@RedSoakedSponge]

sadly i think Vaati was talking about DLC because it is what he thought at the time but never happened. Its an old video right?

[@sebastianhjort9024]

more lore!

[@mamboonthetube7652]

Don’t let vaati get your hopes up too much. There was not a significant dlc for sekiro, sadly

[@Shad0wmoses]

i dont think you were underpowered..its just that the game demands more skill and efficiency from the player. they'd assume that players progress their own skill to a level that somewhat matches the challenge of these later soldiers. its kind of a skill check and you cant really bruteforce it by overlevelling like you could in elden ring and other souls games.

[@lionhunter1296]

69th like so I'm obligated to noice because noice. Noice.

[@SourceOfTheRightArm]

The shot u called sekiro hot was the only moment in the game i thought sekiro doesnt look badass lol
