CRAZY. HYPED! But I'm a little scared too. Dark Souls is like... my precious
True!
Questions, speculations & first thoughts:
No references to Lordran in the trailer: GOOD. Miyazaki is NOT directing this time, but he is supervising. Which is a little worry-some but comforting at the same time. I reckon we jump to the Age of Dark after the fire has faded, and the Dark spread to a neighboring land. The knight looks like he's on a pilgrimage, travelling far from home. The masked figures wear something resembling the black leather armor Patches wears in Dark Souls. If they know what they're doing, they will not re-use a single bit of Lordran geographically. The lady and the knight; what's the feather for? Is there romance involved? The bridge obviously reminds us of Ariamis, but there's no snow on it so I think we're safe. The dragon has one eye in it's forehead. That is awesome.
I don't want to be a negativitron, but I can't help but feeling Spoiler Dark Souls doesn't need a II. Don't get me wrong, I am hyped and my opinion is open for whatever II is going to give us, but right now I feel I'd rather see a new "Insert-dark-word Souls". That way they would leave the masterpiece that is Dark Souls rest forever on it's pedestal, never to be fouled with failed attempts to reach the same heights in sequels or spin-offs. But hey, bring it, Fromsoft; prove me wrong and thou shall be praised like the sun!
