What would you like to see in a sequel?

OMG YES. I would love this. Nothing more than muskets and derringers though. Diversionary things like smoke bombs could be fun too.

I'd also really like to see split-screen co-op and a gamemode dedicated to PVP, unlocked after beating the game, where you can choose whatever armor and weapons and magic you want for every match.

SPELL TYPES SPELL TYPES ADD NECROMANCY!!! LET THE ENDLESS ARMY OF HACKED SKELETONS **** YOOOU!!!! would be neatly sweet tough... imagine, just freaking imagine...

the only reason you see wcweyone wear the same armor is because EVERYONE stacks poise and def because the really wanna win,

Guns, good god no.

I also think there are plenty of armour and weapons, but people all use the same ****. I more choose y armour based on the aesthetics of it, hence running around in black knight armour, cause it looks badass!

what about a climbing system like in SotC or Dragon's Dogma

Yeah good one,although I am in the way of thinking what ever Armour they did give us would be sifted out to finds the best then over used just like DkS Armour is now.

So it would not be long before we all started walking around in the same Armour again.

limit the amount of times that different armors can be upgraded so that all armors have the same stats at their highest level in comparison to their weight. Get rid of individual weights and just put all armors into 3-5 weight classes. Make sure every armor in the game has a secondary quality (like resistances, buffs etc) so that people don't all just go with the armor that looks coolest.

Tossed my vote into lore as I'd like some closure to all the questions I have rattling around my brain. However, a "more armor" or an "all of the above" button would have sufficed too.

I wounldn't mind seeing more embers in the game like, poison or dragon or even water.

Katanas not destroying everything.

Having the Demon's Souls upgrade system with Dark Souls reduced farming = success.

More of everything, pretty much.

Although, more armor, weapons, upgrade paths, and lore would be preferred over everything else.

A water ember? How in the world would that work?

Also, bring back being summoned as the boss, and magic made from boss souls.8)

Well, i'll say more of everything except the art/scenery styles. I think the very dark repressed and lonely world that FROM manages to craft in both the souls games is ideal for the series, it's one part i wouldn't wish to change.. well unless they make it even more dark and perhaps add a bit more fear into the game.

but yeah, gimme the full house, though i don't really want a conventional sequel, just another installment of the series.

More everything, but ...

• More upgrade paths for weapons and armor - keep the materials-required stream-lined, but maybe more tabs / embers / something in the upgrade UI. Bring back stat-specific upgrades!
  
• Ability to upgrade Armour in multiple ways - be able to focus on a specific resistance type/etc.
  
• More optional areas / mini-bosses / etc
  
• More boss-soul upgrade options
  
• Better balancing of damage types
  
• More obvious physical-resist benefits/drawbacks - I really like the concept of 'this mace is better than this spear against X Armour/enemy type'
  
• More hidden areas, shot-cuts, secretes
  
• Bring back dedicated servers for co-op, P2P has given me nothing but headaches
  
• Fleshed out covenant system, more pro's/con's to each - and stricter penalties for jumping between them. More levels within them, and more rewards
  
• Larger levels, and multi-part levels, why not flesh out an entire dungeon portion to a place like Sens? or have some more involved wings in an area like Anor Londo?
  
• Proper PC port from the outset
  
• More control over summons/etc -- I used to be in the 'keep things ghostly and random' camp, but now wishing I could just summon a person off of my friends list. Keep with the soap stones/summon signs, but maybe add a 'Summon Stone' that a host can use to pull in a person off of their friends list, but still keep 'place down a sign that anyone can click on'.
  
• More items/upgrades that can only be gotten with multiple NG+
  
• More ways to leverage the environment for both general-trash enemies and for boss encounters, in both offensive and defensive ways
  
• Multiple ways to take out a boss fight, have some of the 'hardmode' ways, and maybe some of the 'easymode' ways (ie: Ceaseless Discharge) -- maybe have special rewards for going about things the hard way. Can let people progress the story by cheaping out, but offer a nice reward for doing it the hard way.
  
• Keep the balance of 'can spend 90-100 hours in one play through / speed-run it in an hour or two if you know what your doing'.
  
• Keep with the open-world layout, interlocking areas, short-cuts, but still have a central 'hub' that things keep tying back into.
  
• Ability to re-spawn boss-encounters, maybe only as a 'challenge mode' that makes them much harder
  
• Environmental hazards/traps, bonus points if they can be triggered/re-set by invading players
  
• A few levels / bosses that are more about mood and atmosphere than straight-up difficulty
  

I also wouldn't mind it if it wasn't another game in the Souls series, but another game that was more 'in the spirit of' --- lots of FROM games seem to borrow ideas from each-other (Kings Field, Shadow Tower, etc), wouldn't mind seeing something a little new/different but keeping with the overall spirit of the game.

Everything, but specifically:
-Aimed crossbows (sniper crossbow has a scope and can't be aimed!)
-More weapon types, things get boring dodging the same attacks over and over
-Splitscreen coop, you get a constant partner except items, spells, armor, weapons, and souls are split, making you lower level and keeping things hard overall.

Good axes.

Good online system. They took the cheap way out. but they know. So I guess it will be better nontheless.

I agree with e82, who said;

Bring back dedicated servers for co-op, P2P has given me nothing but headaches

Better Archery. better lock on system for sorceries, pvp rooms and a invitation mode.
