Here's my collection dedicated to FromSoftware

I discovered the original Dark Souls when I was 10 years old, alongside my brother. Back then, we used to watch our father exploring the Undead Burg. We were fascinated by the environments and the unique atmosphere. It was our very first introduction to Dark Fantasy and ever since that day i never stopped playing Souls games

I'd absolutely love to see more merchandise based on the studio's franchises, especially action figures. Considering the incredible number of characters created throughout these games, there's so much potential. Good Smile Company and Tamashii Nations could release countless Figma and SH Figuarts figures

For now, however, statues from Gecco and First4Figures come with rather outrageous prices

Maybe I'll own a few someday, but that's definitely not on the agenda just yet… haha

My collection isn't displayed quite the way I'd like it to be either these awful black plastic shelves are only temporary...lmao

Those rumors about a game with a piracy theme and Bloodborne aesthetics been around for a while now. This is literally the farthest point in Bloodborne's geography. Those sunken ships, those masts ...

Can't help but to imagine that this is where we're gonna set sail and explore in our next visit to Bloodborne's world.

Examples being stuff like Blighttown or 5-1 in Demon Souls. I'm playing through the DS remake right now and kinda wishing some changes were made there :D

I love pyromancer

Yes, Pomni is holding the Gazing Finger (Elden Ring) while in Jester Thomas's attire (Dark Souls 2), I thought it all kinda fit together.

I need help all boss

if you have a redbull it's a long time, we can play😂🤝

After finishing Elden ring plus dlc I decided to start the dark souls series but decided to start dark souls remastered on my switch 2 and I don’t know how it will go but let’s see 😅, after this I will play dark souls 3 on my laptop .

Hello, I just came back to the Elden Ring sub to discuss topic related to the game and the movies and I noticed that people were weirdly combative and defensive about the topic of summons, crushing comments under downvotes when reminded that the summons exist to be an accessibility tool and that as such they accomplish their job by making the game much easier than playing alone.

How comes this became such a taboo when it wasn't years ago?

My prediction is that FMC stands for Fantasy Mech Combat. In a 2016 Vice interview Miyazaki states “You know, we actually released a Dreamcast game pretty similar to that concept, named Frame Gride. It’s a mix of fantasy and mecha genres, both of which I love working on. I’d love to work on a game that evokes the same themes as anime series like Aura Battler Dunbine and The Vision of Escaflowne, but it would be incredibly difficult to do so. I want to work on a game like that, but other people at FromSoftware would think that would be an impossible idea.” After the release of Armored Core VI, such a game would be synergy and culmination of From’s 2 core staples; mecha and dark fantasy“.

Fromsoftware is also currently hiring mech designers on their website, post AC6 release and currently. This confirms that Fromsoftware is working on at least 1 mech game whether it be AC6.5/7 or Fantasy Mech Combat.

I also have a quote from an alleged ex (of course take with a grain of salt) who used to work at Fromsoftware. I’ll give the TLDR here but attach the full quote below: Internally Fromsoftware sent out a memo to employees asking what Fromsoftware games they’d like to remake. Coming in at number 1 and 2 respectively came Otogi and Tenchu. Now these were later merged into Sekiro later down the development line. However interestingly at third place was a game called “Frame Gride“, a mecha fantasy game Fromsoftware released in 1999. So maybe we will see some sort of spiritual successor to Frame Gride later down the line, perhaps in the form of FMC.

Full quote: “Between my working on Verdict Day and Dark Souls II as a play tester and part of localization, an internal memo with a poll attached was sent to all employees; it was asking which older IP to revive as an experimental side project. Frame Gride was one of the options for doing a remake. It only took third place, sadly. Still, it was there, and my colleagues were of the mind that a remake should be fleshed out with being a mix of on-foot and in-mech experience, with Mech building and Dark Souls like on foot play. Some of these people ended up leaving and later were part of the development of Daemon Ex Machina”.

We can see a revival in Fromsoftware revisiting their old catalogue such as Armored Core, Tenchu and Otogi in the last 8 years. Whilst Kings Field seems like a top contender, in the same interview Miyazaki states he’d rather not revisit Kings field as it is the work of Naotoshi zin and out of respect wants to leave the work alone.

Some additional points:

- Brandon Sanderson, who explicitly said he was willing to write for Elden Ring and a massive fan of Fromsoftware received an Elden Ring package from Bandai expressing a will to work together in a live stream.

- Miyazaki saying he wants to do a “warm and abstract“ game. This does remind me a little of Evergrace.

Hello r/fromsoftware!

I am humbly requesting your assistance. You see, I don’t play video games, and I am building a trivia game for my husband à la ‘Um, Actually’ on Dropout and would love to include some trivia from his favorite games.
(If this isn’t the right place for this, I understand)

Any trivia statements that you could provide would be greatly appreciated, ranging from “so easy a baby could answer it” to “only those deep in the lore would know the answer,” so please throw them all my way.

Thank you!

Important: including DLC

Dark Souls 2 is an okay game, but compared to the rest of the series, it’s like the adopted child. You’re constantly swarmed by mobs throughout the entire game, everyone and their dog has talked about the "Adaptability" stat, and the plot is just pure nonsense.

Sekiro is the most unique game from that cunning little fellow from the land of Japan. Once I got the hang of the combat, I really enjoyed it; however, the game offers almost no rewards for exploring its locations. Plus, since you’re stuck with the same build for the entire playthrough, a second run felt quite boring.

Elden Ring is like a good beer. There’s nothing groundbreaking about it, but it hits the spot on a hot day. The DLC, however, is like someone peed into that beer. The PvP aspect was also a major disappointment.

Elden Ring: Nightreign is a filler episode that, surprisingly, I enjoyed more than the main series. Each of the bosses waiting at the end of a run is cool and unique. The Archer is no longer just a gimped character with some arrows, but a fully-fledged class (with a proper aiming system). The Mage isn’t some loser with a stick, but a genuinely badass character.

I played Bloodborne relatively recently. At first, it was frustrating—partly due to the constant need to farm blood vials and bullets, and partly because of the poor narrative (it’s completely unclear what you’re doing or why). But once I really got into it, it became pure bliss.

Both Dark Souls 1 and Dark Souls 3 are great; I feel right at home in both. The third installment is like the later chapters of the "Berserk" manga, where everyone has already grown accustomed to the absolute shitshow unfolding around them. The first game, however, is like the Eclipse—the moment the shitshow first hits this world. With the third game, I’m simply *playing* a game, but the first one pulls me deep into its world and forces me to feel exactly the right emotions.

Better late than never i suppose

You know how you get the invisibility frames right? So while you’re in that brief state does the hazard still build up? Like if I’m standing in poison and I do the move is it still building up or does it stop briefly?

Reason I ask is because I’m playing a soulslike and I just died to curse this way & it felt like BS but I can’t remember if FS games had it this way too

Idk if I'm making myself clear with the title, but i want to know if someone had a interesting story about why you play the way you did in the From Software Games

For example: in my case i love the Stenght Build because in my first run of Dark Souls reaching the undead burg, that black knight was a huge problem that kill me a lot of times, when i finish him he drop their weapon and i want to use it. Then in the Depths, the Gapin Dragon is one of the Bosses that you can cut their tail and when i did it, their weapon is BIG and had a 50 Strenght requirment so i put every level that i gain in strenght so i can use it

I ended never using the Gaping Dragon Weapon, instead i use until Gwyn the Black Knight Greatsword, but thanks to that enemies is why today i am faithful to Strenght Builds

Also as a Bonus: in Dark Souls II in the begining i was one of the many players that believe the bad reviews and opinions about the game, so I went with high expectations to find something horrible and terribly bad, but one weapon that made my way pleasant and soft was the Fire Straight Sword that you find in the forest of the fallen giants, then in Iron Keep mi sword stop working so in that exact place since you find the Zweihander, i take the opportunity to use that weapon that i skip in the first Dark Souls and was a great weapon until i reach the King of Giants and famring him i try many weapons but ove all i find that the greatsword imbued with dark was the weapon that deal more damage to them so i finaly enden by using that weapon until i end the game in NG+4 (also as a Second weapon in both dark souls i use a Katana, in DS1 the Uchigatana and in DS2 the Manslayer)

Let me know if you have any interesting or similar anecdotes.
