DARK SOULS 2 - All info so far Thread - Interviews, Trailers, etc. - Release Date: March 2014

Updated with new Q&A video.

GOD DAMN I WAS HAPPY WHEN I HEARD ESTUS FLASKS WILL BE IN DARK SOULS 2

Awesome ↑

Looks promising so far...

I like that in the Q&A the two guys from From & Namco reiterated that their primary goal is to keep the "core" values of the Souls series intact.

I think all this talk of accessibility is due to mistranslation. Honestly, I think they just don't want some aspects of the game to be as obtuse as in Dark Souls; for example, how many people who didn't use guides do you think ever found the Dragon or Darkwraith covenants? I think that's the kind of stuff they'll change when they say they want to make some things more accessible. They mean it in a literal sense, not the all-encompassing pejorative gameplay term sense.

I want something changed.
A: The circle that you lock-on enemies with, make it Grey'ish. I found it distracting and THAT'S BAD, If you're in a fight.
B: Gimmie the Numbers! I wanna see how much damage i do against my enemies.
C: He had 3 weapons equiped? I would prefer a 2 slot system again.

Expect those. I'm not gonna complain. I'm already gonna save up money for The Ultimate edition :3. Even if there are none >:3

I agree on the lock on ring, it's a bit too...bright. It could be just something to get used to though.

Just give them more money, and I'm sure eventually they'll give you a box that says 'Ultimate Edition.'

That's my plan, at least.

I guess its time to lurk.

Awesome, they brought back the gothic look of Demons Souls.

Yeah...it looks like golden to me. IM already excited enough to say that it looks like the new director know what to do.

I'm so stupidly excited. Holy ****.

The greatsword looked soooo good in that video. I can't wait to dual wield them.

And what's this about bosses mid-level and at the start of levels? That was news to me. Also makes you wonder how that will affect multiplayer.

They are all from the same demo, but the journalists often ask different questions so there might be more details in some of the articles.
