Those Dark Souls 3 skyboxes are truly stunning. The game has a bit of a problem, in my opinion, with the environments lacking color, but the day night-cycles and sun stages really add to the beauty of the world.

[@twistedgwazi5727]

Maybe that's why the game's environments were so bland, color-wise. They intended to exist in multiple color states.

[@thewatchman2515]

A day and night cycle would have been great. How many gameplaymechanics could have been affected by the daytime. What a missed opportunity. It could have been awesome and propably made ds 3 the best one in the series instead of just a very good successor of the first one.

The concept of the chairs actually raises some REALLY interesting lore implications. Imagine how striking it would be if you got to the end of Yahargul and instead of Micolash and pals all sitting in chairs you saw a bunch of corpses all huddled around a lantern. THAT is basically what we would've gotten if chairs were used as the checkpoint system.

Man Darks souls 2's story sounds like it could've been even better than the one we actually got. But time travel is always a dangerous plot to use so maybe its a good idea they changed it? I mean we don't have access to the old scripts or dialogue before it got redone so for all we know it could've been badly done. Those different type of filters for DS3 look so cool, especially the sun and dragon one, shame they weren't finished.

Space and time in general are fucked there, day night cycle is literally breaking the lore.

[@waltersullivan2727]

@@otto_jk That’s definitely not the issue when DS3 is significantly more optimized than something like BB. But then again BB doesn’t really follow a day and night cycle only changing the skybox after key events which DS3 already does. But having a moon at Lothric doesn’t make much sense from a lore standpoint so I suspect that’s why it was cut. Also mods can easily alter lighting with little issue.

[@theblah12]

@@waltersullivan2727 Switching an entire set of baked lightmaps (or worse, blending between two at once for a smooth transition) isn't a trivial matter, especially when RAM is limited. There's a reason why many games with day/night cycles forgo lightmaps entirely and purely rely on real time lighting at the expense of lighting quality since you loose the indirect bounce lighting that pre-baked lightmaps give you. Being that it's not a critical feature I can see why it was cut in the end.

Also, your version is impeccable, couldn't have done a better job myself. Thank you for highlighting the imprecision and taking the trouble of setting them right .

[@ThatRipOff]

8:45 Man, you know it really would have been cool if DS3 ended (or had an unlockable ending) with the Everlasting Dragons returning to reclaim the world and the Age of Ancients, making everything come full circle. Letting you choose a path where you become a DragonBro along the way who helps restore them. If DS3's ideas of the darkness and light in the world always cycling through each other are to be believed then it's possible that such a thing may happen eventually, after the Dark Lord ending, anyway. DS3 sorta skimped out on the dragon related bits and that's kind of a shame. All we got were some snakemen, some annoying wyverns, a butchered goatboi transformation, and the Nameless King.

[@leeloominai3332]

The nameless king is good but yeah I agree

[@wingedfish1175]

Fully agree but we never really got a game set during the age of darkness/humans and that kinda has to happen before the age of ancients comes back

[@LadyShynia]

getting the liver would also make sense because beasts (wolves/werwolves) always eat the liver first (well in all the horror stories at least). so the concept was that the hunters turned to beasts themselves and of course, if they continued eating/crushing livers it just put more meaning in their turning, so the more livers you crushed the more beast you became. does that make sense? well at least in my mind it does :D

[@jacthing1]

Also at least from some anime I've watched livers are a source of power for demons apperently

For the bonfire creation mechanic, I imagine players would have been limited to one custom bonfire and that it would have used the Coiled Sword. I could also see the bonfire being a one-use thing. Warp back to the custom bonfire then your character retrieves the sword and has to make another one if they want another checkpoint.

Vaati, I got some more spicy cut content stuff I heard for you. I recall seeing an article about early Dark Souls 3 testers talking about the version of the game they played. According to them you were supposed to fight different bosses in Firelink Shrine at different times of day, one of them being the primordial serpent *Darkstalker Kaathe* and Pontiff Sullivan, who was supposed to be the last boss apparently. Also apparently the pilgrim butterflies used to flying primordial serpents. I think the worm-like flying creatures shown in your video are primordial serpents. Evidence would suggest this.

Elías Rico, I get it man, it sucks.

[@user-gd6ly3lk9t]

Yeah, dark souls 3 was a game I loved playing again and again l, I grinded new games up to ng +24, even when my saves got corrupted by an outage, I restarted and still kept playing. Bloodborne was an extremely special game to me, the lore was really different from any other game. Try not to think about what you won't get, but about what you had and enjoyed.

[@tengauge7872]

They confirmed another soulsborne type of game if you want to look into it, it looks pretty promising

[@yaboinyx7792]

This man voice is perfect for telling these dark souls stories! Awesome video man 😁👍 love ur content!

8:11 Getting nightmarish flashbacks of cliff racers

[@FeverSwampHL]

This is why i love the Ds/BB community we have. Not because of the Git Gud mask we all wear, but because we are dedicated fans who want to continue the stories of the worlds we love and will go to any means to achieve that. Plus share it with everyone else! Long may the sun shine on us! Umbasa!

[@snaildad193]

That Majula theme hit me so hard it gave me whiplash. Good job!

[@JoshM512]

Having not played these games in a while, i forgot just how much i love them. Truly works of art. Bloodborne’s soundtrack is easily my favourite soundtrack of all time.

10:33 Hmm...he looks like Thanos if he decided to be a scholar

[@jericho663]

Dark souls battle royal.... you may think that’s a terrible idea with all the saturation of battle royals, but just think about it. Your dropped into the world of dark souls once more except with the whole world to explore, but one objective is presented to you, relight the flame. 100 cursed souls, thrown into a world, but being the last one alive doesn’t mean you win. You must still beat the final boss to light the flame.

[@gabrielsabba1448]

Vaati it is currently 5:44am here and I just finished my finals thesis. Just hearing your voice almost made me cry. I Love you

[@angle_968]

I started to watch you after a month of playing dark souls and your lore and game play of all these game on your channel really make me glad that I'm subscribed to you and to be part of this community of players

[@shingoji524]

14:05 Edwad:"Gimmie kissy"

[@aob3366]

2:30 it actually says: "Fear the raiders. Loyalty to the king who died and still not collapse", or something like that I give it to you, good one Vaati xD

[@tamsinsandrielle]

Thank you for this video! Thanks for your time and your work :D

[@andrewbaune9037]

I love all your videos, Im such a big soulsbourne fan its crazy I play them all the time, your great!

[@TIGER45ization]

Damn I dont know why but everytime I hear DS2 music it gives good memories.

[@alfalldoot6715]

Same, it has its flaws but DS2 will always have a place in my heart

[@THExWASP]

8:00 gonna make that my new background

[@jonathanferdian6011]

Nice touch with the Majula Theme good sir, really fan of your work 👏 👏

[@FatalError14]

The deepest grave stone was definitely the subscribe one by far. It fits in the lore so well, you see when gywen first lite the fire it was supposed to symbolise the like and subscribe in irl

[@dynamiteman100]

I think they could have balanced the bonfires by having select spots you can place the swords, so the campfire is already set up but it needs the coiled sword. You only have a finite amount of swords throughout the game, so you have to log your swords carefully so you can realistically get back to where you where if you died and keep on moving until, as you said, you can't go on any longer, but you have to find the spot to camp. If you really need it, you could always go back to a previous spot and set up there if you really need it, but that could be a considerable waste of recourses as time goes on. Your thoughts?

[@asiamatron]

I really like the idea and I think having limited spots would've helped.

[@dynamiteman100]

I think, also, during later NG+ cycles it would be a real challenge if they took out a sword or two, but that may have been too much if NG+ actually effected the game like it did in Ds1

[@asiamatron]

I guess if players had a choice for NG+ maybe that could work.

[@Kittenwelp]

"Vereor nox" does not mean "Fear the night" though. "Vereor" means "I fear", and "nox" is the nominative case, meaning it has to be the subject. This would translate into "I, the night, fear" or "I, the night, am afraid", which unfortunately does not make much sense to me :'D. Maybe it was just a poor translation into Latin by the writers. Or the night/dark is actually telling us it is afraid.

[@talltale9760]

from you translation it sounds like its supposed to mean that the night fears I.

[@mikeharris6429]

After 3 translations (Latin to Japanese to English) something may have been lost

[@Kittenwelp]

It's basically the night saying that it is afraid. The apposition there is basically the closest way to translate it into English. You could also put it in explanatory brackets like "I (i.e. the night) am afraid."

[@Kittenwelp]

Might be the explanation :)

[@aplix747]

Fear the flame/ Fear the old blood

[@petersage8129]

It's about time. More videos please!!!

[@aaronheater7583]

Love this channel. Long time watcher but fairly new subscriber, sorry for the delay. And probably no chance this will be seen but what r the odds off a video digging up secrets of souls weapons with strange powers and seemingly no mention of their beginnings or how they came to their final resting place. I know there are many of them but elanora is the weapon that made me ask this question. Can't help but wonder why it was imbuned with a weapon art similar to something out of bloodborne yet no mention of who wielded it nor how it came to rest under the profaned capital.

[@ironrose6]

"It was neither human nor dragon... in sadness, it danced to the royal family." Could be referring to the failed child of Dragons, Ocelot.

[@leonlx564]

Definitely not, the king loved ocelot and would not tolerate it just dancing to entertain. It also isnt sleeping, especially not in the dungeons, and the ocelots also has nothing to do with the irthyll dungeon. Your just making a random link because ocelots is also a hybrid.

[@BankruptGreek]

it blows my mind how all 3 ds games are quite similar. Yet they clearly wanted to make the 2 unique (and by logic the first would also be unique). I am not hating the series, I really liked all of them. But think about it, time travel and the darkness/light mechanic of ds2.. player made bonfires and changing environment for what I can assume would be the covenant system, which would probably have something more to it than just the pvp aspect of it, that would really make the games stand out from each other. Yet they didn't do any of them...

[@asiamatron]

Yep, it seems like that's a pattern with the development of the sequels: some of the more interesting and outlandish concepts get scrapped. One can only wonder what could've been if those ideas were all completed and turned on.

[@supernova00500]

I remember finding an article about all that cut DSIII content, seeing it in this video sent chills down my spine!!!

[@ThyartisDanny]

I feel like the corpse/placing bonfire mechanic would have been interesting, but I think the corpse dragging cut scene from the intro you mentioned is possibly actually the Soul of Cinder dragging a bested Undead attempting to link the flame? Just a thought.
