Rusp Jul 5, 2021 4:48 PM games

almost...

Rusp Jul 5, 2021 4:53 PM games

I’m so pissed

Rusp Jul 5, 2021 4:53 PM games

I got past the annoying chance beginning of the yellow part at 3 minutes

Rusp Jul 5, 2021 4:53 PM games

And then I fell in the pit

Rusp Jul 5, 2021 4:54 PM games

That was the run!

Gent Jul 5, 2021 4:58 PM games

Ground zeroes is not a game

taxes Jul 6, 2021 2:14 PM games

@Gent did you ever look into the japanese names for some ds3 bosses

taxes Jul 6, 2021 2:14 PM games

its actually really interesting for some of them

taxes Jul 6, 2021 2:17 PM games

Aldrich is a really interesting one, in japanese it's literally "Eldritch" as in Eldritch gods

taxes Jul 6, 2021 2:17 PM games

"Yhorm" is actually "Jorm" as in Jormungandr

taxes Jul 6, 2021 2:18 PM games

Soul of Cinder should actually be "Incarnation of Kings/Lords" or "King/Lords Incarnate"

taxes Jul 6, 2021 2:19 PM games

Oceiros is actually https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osroes_I

taxes Jul 6, 2021 2:25 PM games

as for dark souls one, theres a lot less issues but one of the cooler ones is that Manus and Gwyn have similar worded titles that parallel eachother, its not father of the abyss but rather King who is abyss and Gwyn is King who is fuel as in literally the fuel for the flame/part of it as manus is part of the abyss

taxes Jul 6, 2021 2:27 PM games

Gaping Dragon actually was more like Dragon of Gluttony or Voracious Dragon as in it loved to eat, Seath was literally just "White Dragon Seath" (I think Seath the Scaleless sounds cooler though)

Gent Jul 6, 2021 2:59 PM games

I didn’t know about those, but I know Ludleth refers to himself as a Pygmy in Japanese dialogue

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:02 PM games

interesting

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:02 PM games

didnt know that one

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:03 PM games

oh also profound capital should be capital of sin

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:03 PM games

which is really interesting

Gent Jul 6, 2021 3:04 PM games

Here’s a list of the original names in the dark souls code, it’s......enlightening about the creative process https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AdlhpYFITAGnKVAIBMVverQ_E5m5xA19m0rG0Diyixs/edit#gid=0

Gent Jul 6, 2021 3:05 PM games

I’m pretty sure how it works is they think of an interesting concept, program the enemy/boss, THEN write their lore and give them a name

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:05 PM games

i saw some dev data for ds3 and it's interesting

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:05 PM games

yhorm was in the graves area where gundyr was

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:05 PM games

gundyr was where ocerios was

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:05 PM games

wolnir was in the profaned capital

Gent Jul 6, 2021 3:05 PM games

Gundyr was meant to be the king I believe

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:05 PM games

yeah

Gent Jul 6, 2021 3:05 PM games

And Sulyvahn was gonna be the final boss

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:06 PM games

yeah that ones also interesting

Gent Jul 6, 2021 3:06 PM games

He was named something along the lines of “Old King of the Eclipse”

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:06 PM games

I'm glad he wasn't

Gent Jul 6, 2021 3:06 PM games

Honestly, it sounds somewhat better than what we got

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:06 PM games

really?

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:06 PM games

i think soul of cinder is cooler

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:06 PM games

maybe of they made his moveset better

Gent Jul 6, 2021 3:06 PM games

Well Sulyvahn went out a little too easy for how integral he was to the plot

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:06 PM games

lkke gave him multiple clones or something

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:07 PM games

and a more interesting moveset

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:07 PM games

also the deacons of the deep are actually bishops

Gent Jul 6, 2021 3:07 PM games

I assume the clone thing was added later down the line

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:07 PM games

which is a rank much higher

Gent Jul 6, 2021 3:07 PM games

A bit too many bishops

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:07 PM games

the clone thing is really cool

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:07 PM games

because it shows his next ayyackt

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:08 PM games

and sulyvhan is more of a pope than a pontif in japanese but

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:08 PM games

pontiff sounds cooler

Gent Jul 6, 2021 3:08 PM games

I think he would’ve been good as a secret boss like gwyndolin was

Gent Jul 6, 2021 3:09 PM games

Since they both end up serving as the puppet masters of the plot, they wouldn’t want themselves in the line of fire

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:09 PM games

its weird how he's guarding anor londo at all

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:09 PM games

I don't think he particulat cares about aldrich

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:09 PM games

he just used him to usurp the gods

Gent Jul 6, 2021 3:10 PM games

If Aldrich was just a tool for him why is he in front of him

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:10 PM games

yes

Gent Jul 6, 2021 3:10 PM games

DS3 is a bit wonky with the lore in general

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:10 PM games

also weird how you're supposed to beat him before

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:10 PM games

his two strongest eyes

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:11 PM games

or dancer atleast

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:11 PM games

i think it'd have better buildup if he was after dancer and vordt maybe even Aldrich

Gent Jul 6, 2021 3:12 PM games

Put him in place of dragonslayer armor?

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:12 PM games

that's a lot of hype for one man though

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:13 PM games

I'm not even sure why he cares about stopping the unkindled

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:13 PM games

honestly it shouldn't effect him

Gent Jul 6, 2021 3:13 PM games

He just wants power

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:13 PM games

yet he is one of the biggest hinderers of progress

Gent Jul 6, 2021 3:13 PM games

And he pretty much succeeded at every goal he had set

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:13 PM games

blocking both exits of lothric castle

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:13 PM games

watching them

Gent Jul 6, 2021 3:14 PM games

He believes in the deep doesn’t he?

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:14 PM games

uh

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:14 PM games

im not sure

Gent Jul 6, 2021 3:14 PM games

I think he was an archbishop?

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:16 PM games

yeah i think he was

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:16 PM games

that's the lore behind his second sword

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:16 PM games

i think

Gent Jul 6, 2021 3:16 PM games

He really went everywhere, except farron

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:16 PM games

born in the painting too

Gent Jul 6, 2021 3:18 PM games

Do carthus and farron have any confirmed connections to other parts of the world

taxes Jul 6, 2021 3:18 PM games

farron was built on carthus

Gent Jul 6, 2021 3:18 PM games

The running theory is that the abyss watchers destroyed carthus, which makes enough sense
