#Ring demons

[lastoneout]

People really do assume the FromSoft formula is just "super hard boss fights" but really it's Tall Ladies, Hidetaka Miyazaki's barely contained masochistic death fetish, incredibly hard but usually fair boss fights, community graffiti, annoying rat, even more annoying dog, walk walk fashion baby, poison swamp, bottomless pit, Large Jovial Dad Figure, jolly cooperation, Berserk Reference, and slapstick comedy.

I think dark souls games were onto something when they decided that the only way for your character to get stronger was to kneel in front of a girl

Tumblr is a social network in the same sense that Dark Souls is multiplayer.

i saw this bell while on vacation and wrote this on my way back! super short lol

word count : a few seconds read i swear this is so short 😭

“muichiro!” you smiled, holding up a bell. “look!” 

muichiro set down whatever he grabbed before and read the words on the bell. “ring for a kiss?”

you shook the bell, unable to hold back a small laugh. so silly and yet so effective. 

you swear that his face turned a few shades pinker before pecking you on the lips. you could feel your own face heat up in the process. 

“…cute,” he murmured after separating, “we should buy it.” 

“fine by me,” you grinned. 

nowadays, it’s quite amusing how he answers to the bell like a dog answering to its owner’s whistle. now that’s actually something worth spending your money for!

This game is a culmination of years of trial and error with making a drinking game to play with not only huge nerd-dorks such as myself, but casual observers as well. I wanted a pick-up-and-play version of King's Cup where you don't need to spend 10 minutes deciding the rules before you start, and that allows great variation and chance between each game. Also, I wanted to get rid of waterfall.

From Sofware has this habit of coming up with ideas in a certain context, making it make sense in that context, and then liking that idea so much that they use it with the same name in other games, that don't have that context in their story.

For instance, fog walls. Mighty odd mechanic in dark souls isn't it? Just some random patches of unexplained fog, in later games they give it a different name like "nightmare wall" or "wall of golden light". But in the souls series it's just fog walls, in games where fog hold no special significance. Well, they were created in demon's souls, a game where a fog is slowly consuming the world, and it is emitted by demons. Those fog walls are places where the fog grows thicker, and because big demons release it, there is often a boss behind it.

Another smaller example is summoning in Elden Ring. Elden Ring doesn't take place in a decayed timeline with many alternate dimensions and ruined time, which used to explain how you summon ancient heroes and alternate chosen undeads in dark souls, but the game still uses "invading another world" and "phantom has returned to their world", with barely a few new words to explain it. What the hell does Host of Fingers even imply, it doesn't seem as important as Host of Embers, "host of the thing every ashen one wants".

And finally the one example I know from a different FS series. Assault armor. This isn't armor in any way, i'm pretty sure it does not block bullets, it's literally an explosion, why is it CALLED ARMOR. Well, "Assault Armor" originated in Armored Core:For Answer. There, the acs have a thing called "Primal Armor", a radioactive force field that dissolves most bullets. Assault armor is a move that empties your primal armor, releasing it as an explosion. You are ASSAULTING them with your ARMOR.

Like they are going "you know what this is, we don't need to explain it again". It's cute but it creates some very confusing situations

Holy shit. Someone on the JP tkdb fandom pointed out that the stigma names are the anagram of demons that appeared in Ars Goetia.

Binaerus = Naberius (Jin)

Yagsal Olbalsa = Glasya-Labolas (Alan)

Here's the other ones I found:

Spurno = Purson (Sho)

Malab = Balam (Taiga)

Argeas = Agares (Tohma)

Ramsochisa = Marchosias (Lyca)

Haxs = Shax (Leo)

Acimo = Camio (Ritsu)

Raothtas = Astaroth (Ren)

Tiris = Sitri (Romeo)

Talnandio = Dantalion (Subaru)

Iggnaim = Gamigin (Lucas)

Agnihaet = Haagenti (Yuri)

Bahnti = Bathin (Haru)
