Yes, Dark Souls 2 had poise, and it was the best system in the series.

Ashen One got the best waifu.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6D_6kRs_2R8

Bearer's waifu has autism, so he can't really have a meaningful relationship with her.

Doll is friendly and cute but platonic relationship.

Chosen Undead had to face harsh conditions in a brutal world with no guidance whatsoever. He never experienced female companionship, but he discovered true friendship. The bond he formed with Solaire was unbreakable.

>>376647590
Firekeeper is also the only one who chooses to follow main character instead of their mission, even if it leads to betrayal of entire world.

We don't see either of their feet. The Doll wears bloomers and the Emerald Herald wears boots and that's it

Bearer has poise and hex. He's also immortal and not a kid or a squid.

It depends on what elder one powers Hunter gets when he grows up - like just fucking taking the crowns like a Double Nigger because Bearer has no insight.

Aldia tells you that in order to do something of importance you need to go beyond and traverse the unknown to get what you truly want.

You are walking a new path that you're forging on your own.

>>376651052
>>376650786
Just to really rustle your almonds.

Dark 2 felt like a personal, intimate story about a man (or woman) looking for an end to their suffering. A wildly weird, complex series of events leads them toward becoming a Monarch or forsaking the Throne to find another way. On the face of it, it's opera, but dig just a little under the surface and what you find is a story about loss, fear, and identity. More succinctly, fear of losing who you are.

And with the SOTFS added bits, it becomes more profound and more engrossing, because neither the game nor Aldia are encouraging you to look at it in such basic "this is the bad guy who did this bad thing" way, but instead in a more philosophical, existential manner. You're not fighting a big dude in armour, or a dude who chose to link the fire (or end it), you're not even fighting the fire itself; you're fighting nature. More succinctly, you're battling the idea of nature.

This lends itself to probably the most optimistic ending in the trilogy, the one where you reject the Throne of Want and instead decide to forge your own path, to reach beyond the scope of light and the reach of dark for something else. Something perhaps new, perhaps different. Whatever it is, it has to be better than this endless cycle of light and dark, of triumph and misery, of life and death. Throughout the game we're shown that not only the cycle repeats, but entire civilizations and indeed people repeat. Reincarnation plays a pretty big role in the game, I think.

In the end the game leaves you optimistic that, even if it takes a thousand years, or a thousand cycles, there will be a way out. You'll seek it and, I think, find it, eventually. Such is your fate.

>>376651496

Seeing Lordran transform into Drangleic into whatever is awesome. Seeing an order rise out of the Abyss to pay respects to Artorias is heartwarming. To see old friends like Andre live to the modern day through nothing more than perseverance is inspiring. Not to mention Bearer would be one of the strongest people on the planet due to all the souls he's collected.

Perhaps you're just simple, but for me it would be fascinating to see the march of time in such a turbulent world culminating in a grand distortion that is Lothric. And like I said, if I ever get bored I could die anytime I wanted. Literally no downsides.

Well said.

Bearer and Ashen are the only ones to achieve an ending other than letting the fire die or rekindling it. Bearer chooses to let things be and forge into the unknown outside of the fire's scope whereas Ashen can usurp the fire and become a true lord.

Almost makes me sad that Chosen Undead got so fucked over compared to the other two.

No it isn't Hollows are primal humans witth no souls They have been associated with the age of the archtrees as primal lifeforms. The "curse" is the darksign eating up your soul from the inside. Burning it up.

That's a really good point actually. I never noticed before, Miyazaki is fucking brilliant.

If BoTC turned into a human who no longer hollows does he still retains his fragment of the dark soul? And if its true does that mean he got eaten by Gael?

Unless you went for the hollow lord ending or usurped the fire, either way it's debatable weather anyone else may escape the cycle or not now.

>>376652615
The unknindled are part of the cycle. They're even worse than hollows in this regard. They're "unfit even to be cinder", A last resort to strengthen the fire You ever wonder why it's necessary for Yoel to draw out your true strength by giving you dark sigils? He's literally upgrading your status as a lifeform by giving you Humanity.

>>376652583

>>376652905
>The only "escaping the cycle" is the painting.
Nearer is unique. He and only he, was blessed. Aldia is connected to the world and will perish along with the fire.

BOTC doesn't matter anymore because he made it so. He escaped alone. Maybe with the Emerald Herald since she was born of Dragons but he's not a part of this story anymore.

>>376652615
The unkindled are the ones who linked the fire in the past, but they were too weak and the kindling turned them into ash. Think of it as someone other than chosen undead trying to link the fire.
Also, the kindling made them permanently connected to fire. Unlike humans, they cannot gain power from darkness/humanity.

If you are referring to Bearer then as long as he has the crown he can't hollow (physically or mentally).

That said I think it's pointless to look too deep into what happens to him. The message I took was that he forged his own path that was neither of light nor dark and his story ended there.

If you want to get technical though then he was absorbed by Gael, but the DLC implies the entire series is recursive so nothing anyone does in any of these games even matters. Chosen Undead, Bearer, Ashen One, Gwyn, Dragons, whatever - all is meaningless.

>Still doesn't explain how escaping the cycle is related to not hollowing

Hollows are part of the cycle. So is death and rebirth. It's how the nature of the Dark Souls universe operates.

BOTC is incapable dying, hollowing and even v being rebirthed by the concepts of DS. He's a lone entity. Unconnected and unbound to anyone. No longer subservient to the will of naturew or the hellscape that Gwyn made of the world. He can do whatever he wants.
A True Monarch that forges ahead into the unknown.
>>376653329
>He just has a crown that prevents hollowing. He still has to live in the world.
Crowns are just there for a gameplay mechanic. A king is a king regardless of a crown.
Again, Soul of Cinder has no relation to moves from DS2. BOTC got what he wanted. And in fulfilling his desire, he also beat the system

>>376653482
>tfw someone posts your shitty edit

BotC is basically in a dream world too, Drangleic. He jumps down the firefly whirlpool in the shitty intro from what's assumedly the "real world". Same with the Slayer of Demons and the Fog and the Nexus. Drangleic = Yarnham = Boletaria = Lordran = miscellaneous

>And the Bearer is still cursed hence his name.
You're only called that by the Emerald Herald. By the end she calls you Monarch.

And the line is one of hope and conviction. Not desperation. Look back at that ending.

>>376653709
Vaginal vore. Another player almost survived the regurgitation, but you can see he stumbled to the tree and promptly died. The Bloodstain below the phantom cum was a cumstain rather.

>>376653723
I'm not arguing anything. I'm just saying looking for a definite answer for anything in a series that is all about having non-answers is misguided at best, a waste of time at worst. It's the same shit as the people who try to speculate where Gwynevere went - there's no point.

But if you want to find an answer I believe Miyazaki's stance is that the entire series is recursive.

That rebirth thing you stated is made up. He still has to move through the cycle. Just can't hollow. There are plenty of undead around that aren't trying to restart the cycle.

>BotC is basically in a dream world too, Drangleic

doesn't matter

undead are subject to revival anywhere. meanwhile we have no reason to believe the hunter retains his revival powers outside the dreamworld.

assuming this battle is taking place in a neutral 3rd party zone of course.

but 1v1 one death duel: botc is slow and clunky as fuck, he would never even hit good hunter

>. He still has to move through the cycle. Just can't hollow
Name me one other creature that isn't a dragon, that also can't hollow.
All the giants die. The dragons are gone or held alive by their scales. The bearer? He has shaken off the concept of death entirely. Maybe the cats count but by DS3, they're all gone as well.
Because here's the kicker, he isn't even a proper undead anymore.

He journeys into the unknown. To an uncertain path that no one else could do before.
Such is our fate.

Fair point, the Undead curse seems to be a worldwide problem whereas the Dream revival is practically a super power. Different universes so the immortality/death mechanic is very different in them. Raw 1v1 The Hunter would probably wreck him until BotC could learn his patterns.

not tom mention the hunter can just force trades and get health back while the botc will eventually run out of sips

hunter can also parry the botc any time he starts one of his slow, poorly animated attacks

Of course there is no path. For there to BE a path, someone needs to make it.

BotC shakes his fiSt in determination and walks off into the unknown. Determined to find a solution for the world now that he has found one for himself. He might have failed the world but he still got out.

You basically solve everyone's problems in every ending though. You dismantle the church by killing their vicar and destroy the choir's great one, you end the hunt by killing mergo, you end the hunter's nightmare by killing Orphan of Kos.

The ending only determines the fate of the Moon Presence, and whether or not you use the knowledge you accumulated to do what the church, the school of mensis, and byrgenwerth all failed to do and become a great one.

Honestly i think that Alva and Zulie is the only good thing that came out from DS2 lore-wise.
Even Miyazaki seems to agree though he certainly gave them a sad fate.

Updates for Dark Souls 3 is about to go down, here are the patches for today if anybody cares http://darksouls3.wiki.fextralife.com/Patches

Did any of your weapon-fus get touched?

>Also, Karla may or may not be their daughter
She is another shard of Manus, but I can accept the headcanon that they adopted her.

>still playing dark souls 3
I don't know what's worse

>>376664705
really don't care lol

>>376664649
I think the biggest support for her being a daughter to them is that Karla sells Dark Edge and Zullie's summoned ghost uses it

>>376664859
lmao nice response underage

Kosm literally translates to "mother's pussy" in arabic, which is the most profane slur anyone can say. So naturally it's gotten so overused that it only conveys surprise and bewilderment now. Every single time i see this picture i burst out laughing because it works so damn well.

Whatever you say, manlet

I'm pretty sure they got separated at some point and Alva becomes "seeker of the spurned" to find her. Their story is kind of scrambled too.

>Karla heavily implied to be their child
>Alva invades you near the profaned capital and you find what is presumably his corpse outside Karla's cell
>Alva invades in the ringed city as you get close to Zullie's corpse
>Zullie's spirit is enslaved to the giant judicator in the swamp

The Old One is the most powerful entity portrayed in the extended soulsverse by any measure. It's literally the only entity that's truly invincible, with no way to to harm it, and it's mere presence erases existence around it and allows the use of magic. Lord Souls and Great Ones are fucking small time in comparison. I'd say evil end Slayer of Demons is a lot more powerful than any of the other "god" ends.

Phantom cuck.

>>376665335
No it doesn't, it translates into "female part". It's also Kos, he was confusing "cosmic" which is why the later part of his speech makes sense.

>>376653709
I guess the joke is that instead of a blood stain there was a semen stain that then reveled a ghost silhouette depicting the sex a player had with the herald.

>>376671596
that makes the most sense, thank you

Can't the Bearer just spam magic?

>>376673505
>Can't the Bearer just spam magic?

not against a fast infinite stamina bloodborne hunter who can parry his casting animations, no

>>376673621
bearer can increase his cast speed though.

Ranger parry still wins all

Were assuming they are starting in an arena like these games have right?

>Were assuming they are starting in an arena like these games have right?

they are fighting on final destination

>>376639149
>Hunter becomes a god
you mean like the other couple gods he kills on his way to the ending?

>>376673621
>parry casting animations
You can do that in Bloodborne? No one ever parried my Arcane build

>>376672531

Get.
OUT.

>>376675335
What did they do to that armor? It looks ugly af now
I loved using it in 1

LAUTREC GO BACK TO MASTURBATING TO YOUR GODDESS AND LEAVE HER ALONE

Its sad that DS2 amounted to almost nothing. It would of been nice to see if the True Monarch showed up in DS3 still attempting to find a way to break the cycle.

>>376675651
Eh it at least gives the universe hope. If one man can overcome the curse maybe there is a way.

DS3 made me feel the same way though after its dlc, amounted to almost nothing.
