My take on the "This is the main hero" quote.

One of the directors, I believe it was Shibuya, said that the guy in the trailer stabbing up dudes was the main hero.

Something I've noticed with From Software' games, they don't make your actual character too important. Like in Evergrace, one of their older games, you were just someone who arrived in this strange world overrun by monsters and you were just basically surviving the whole game while reading a tad bit on what happened.

Also the Armored Core series, you were just another AC pilot who jsut happened to be really damn good living in the times.

Anyway, my point is, I believe their going to do what I've been explaining with your character in this game. You're gonna make your guy/girl and start off, but you'll meet the guy in the trailer, and you'll do stuff with him, help him out ect. But he's gonna be the one to get the real...'credit' for the lack of a better word. Like they did with the DLC story, you did all that stuff but Artorias got the credit for it.

Either that...or they're just doing the whole "This guy represents the main character" thing, like with Oscar in Dark Souls, and the Fluted Knight in Demon's.

I'm a bit bad at wording my thoughts sometimes, so this might be a bit hard to comprehend. But let me know what you guys think!

Of course, this is just speculation and yadda yadda, I know just as much as you guys.

i was even thinking they where just saying that to simplify the meaning for the translator to make it easy.

I think the guy in the trailer is the main hero, BUT your character is the main bad guy. Would be interesting setting to start with.

I personally don't believe that is how they will go about it, but I think that'd be really awesome to fight alongside the hero of the story.

I think they call him the main hero in the same way solaire or Ostrava were the main heroes in the other games, they'll be an important character to the lore and your adventure, but not who you control.

I agree you always play as the guy simply in the right place and time, after all things like the title "chosen undead" is a title based on an action, not who you truly are, hence also why we have two endings, you choose what to make your character

i really like this idea of a rivalry, especially being the bad guy.
somehow reminiscent of pokemon games Gary/Ash

thanks but i didn't make it haha, just found it randomly

I feel that yes it is the main hero, and is the character you play but it's just one of the classes that you can choose and you can choose gender and such to make the character how you want still. They just needed to make something for the trailer so they choose what appears to be a knight class and male. It would be entirely dumb on Fromsofts end to remove character creation from the series.

he looked cool
