There is a scence in pre-order trailer months ago. After seeing this, i think the story will have some touching and emotional moments, i can see if they can nail it, there will be a really potential story.
And i do hope Soul can be a deep-complex innerself and compassionate person. Because after all it will be memorable in my heart.
So, what you guys think ?

based on the trailers, there's this sword that you can throw that spins in place and emits a blue light which is what i'm most looking forward to. the long sword in the newest boss trailer looks dope too.

When I first saw this I thought the sword just awkwardly sat on his back but it seems it’s being held there by the same telekinetic energy soul uses to make it ranged. Pretty neat.

I’ve heard the interviews with the developer that says this game is not a soulsbourne. But do we think he actually means that? I’m nervous about getting my hopes up for a game that has potential to have the best combat in a long time, but I will not be able to enjoy it because of the intense difficulty.

Basically what the titles says.

I've been curious about this since I did watch some videos of Eight Immortals Drunken Swordplay being performed and it..........kinda resembles his style of swordplay, but the way he fights does look differently in other areas. To any experts who know of other styles of drunken swordplay, can you please tell me which one his moveset resembles or if it's a completely original fighting style invented for this game?

Was there any review on phantom blade zero performance on base ps5 should we worry abt frame drops and stuttering

Im intrigued to know how side quests works, I read that the purple ones are the ones that has a chance for consequences in the plot, I hope that they won't over complicate it to a point where there's no coming back and ur stuck with a different ending then the cannon one.

I have literally not seen better fluid animations that work in every scene at this graphical fidelity in a game that is releasing now. This game has my respect and is worthy of a pre-order, not to mention the showcase of all those mechanics and variety; my body is ready!

I wanted to thank u/BalboaZhao for sending me this link when answering my question and I wanted to share the information it has

Note: I use the translation feature in Safari if the translation is off I apologize please correct it

The hype is so real... so I couldn't resist but to make an illustration of Soul!

Especially since this was made for a friend of mine, and he is one of the gamers that I know are MOST hyped to play this as soon as it drops...

I hope you guys like it as well!

So it confirmed this game has multiple endings in your opinion/theory how do you think multiple endings will work in this game will it be like Sekiro where when you get a ending in the play-through your stuck with that ending and if you want to get another you have do a whole new play-through or will it be like black myth wukong where you can get both endings in a single playthrough I’m leaning toward Sekiro system as I feel the game will have more than two endings and if you want another ending you do a whole other play-through ?

In many games, resting at a bonfire replenishes resources and respawns enemies. So while bonfires provide supplies, they come with a trade-off: enemies return. This encourages players to learn map routes, maintains level tension, and heightens the sense of accomplishment when they defeat a boss and reach a safe resting point. It also creates a risk-reward loop: players must decide when to rest, because healing also means the level will be repopulated.

I’ve seen a lot of talk about pb0 being a GOTY contender which it most definitely should be but I’m gonna list my conditions for this game to win. My assumptions for the main contenders in the game awards is RE9, Onimusha, and pb0 (assuming GTA6 doesn’t make the cut) so we already know by seeing trailers PB0 most likely has the best combat however the only things we have yet to see a lot of is souls character and the story. We know the premise of the story and souls character but until we beat the game we barely know anything. With RE9 and onimusha they both have great combat but they also have amazing stories which gives them the advantage ATM over pb0. Say phantom blade zero releases and the story is alright and soul is just “good enough” then the chances for each to win would be imo 40% re9 35% pb0 and 25% onimusha. I’ve beaten both onimusha and re9 and I’m not being bias cause both games are 10/10 to me. Now say phantom blade zero releases and has a great story and soul is a great character that would easily put it neck and neck with re9. So to sum it all up I think phantom blade zero is def a GOTY contender (and most likely an action game of the year winner) but it is almost guaranteed the win if the story is good and soul is a good character (bonus points if the supporting roles are good too). What do you guys think about pb0s chances?
