I mean, the influence is obvious. For DS3 Miyazaki even changed the way you hold your greatsword to mimic that of Guts. He said so in a presentation or in an interview a while back.

I really dig the Bloodborne-ish vibe of this area.
Also, the Thief set is back and it looks old and ragged. Love it.

You are definitely right about that. It is much easier for him to separate speculation from stuff the game can confirm than it is to convince his thousands of followers to look at it more critically. So it is not only acceptable but natural to ask this of him, even if it's not totally his fault.
And he does seem to be changing torwards that, even if not completely or very quickly. It was a very pleasant surprise to see him showing the item descriptions in his Bloodborne Lore video. I would never expect that from him a couple of years ago.
You should definitely check his videos. From what you describe it seems very much in the same vein of his written work. It's not overproduced or anything, just a dude talking to the camera.
The most interesting and important part of his videos, in my opinion, is that he's dedicating himself to "The Little Things in Yharnam", talking about stuff that is very important, but ends up getting pushed aside because it's not nearly as important as, say, Mergo. So people don't focus on it as much as they should.
It's the kind of content I'd only expect from ENB, if he was still making videos on Bloodborne. So it's very welcome and refreshing to see Redgrave doing this.
He's also a surprisingly cool guy, watched a couple of streams he did, without expecting much, thinking it would maybe be too intense with deep lore talk all the time, but he was just chillin, talking shit and running Chalice Dungeons (for whatever crazy reason, he really enjoys them).
Wow, thank you very much for this, it was very, very informative.
About Vacuous, the reason I brought it up is because I actually saw a few people on reddit using more vague possible meanings of vacuous to talk about Rom's origins. I'm not sure if he changed his mind on this, since I didn't read his document, but Redgrave himself once used the possible meanings of Vacuous to say that Rom was a child, if I recall correctly from a reddit thread. This is the main reason I find the retranslation to be incredibly useful, it tells us "don't read too much into it, vacuous is supposed to mean exactly what you'd expect". My english isn't very good, and I don't think I've ever even seen the word vacuous before Bloodborne, and yet, I understood what it was supposed to mean the moment I saw it. I think when people start to reading too much into specific words as the base for their whole interpretation, it's always good to keep in mind the game was written in japanese and then localized, so, unless it's obviously ambiguous, it's probably best not to read too much into particular word choices.
As you mentioned yourself, given the context, "vacuous" was the absolute perfect choice, because Frognation is fucking awesome and know their shit. Because the "deeply retarded spider" would sound fucking ridiculous, even if it could be an accurate translation. And, going back to reading a lot into particular word choices, that becomes possible (and WAS done by Frognation) when you consider not only the original japanese writing, but even the particular characters chosen. That part of the work was already done during localization, if you do it again to the already carefully selected word, you start to lose the original meaning. The lore is already mysterious enough without having to doubt every single word we read. Which I guess, in the end, could even be used to understand why people were bothered by that video. Huh.
Yes, indeed, you absolutely managed to convince me on his responsibility on this. Not sure if he read GAF, but if he's lurking here, I bet he appreciates elaborated feedback like this. It's understandable that most of the time, feedback is kept to the bare minimum "this is great", or "this sucks", no one has an obligation to elaborate on their feeling every time they voice an opinion, but as far as actually making a difference to improve that content, it is very much necessary.
Much more than making sense! It's my pleasure. I swear, I have a big, dumb smile on my face right now. I love talking about this series so much, probably as much as playing the games. I don't think I've been as captivated by anything before in my life as I've been for these games. It's incredible, really. Usually, when people talk about things changing their lives, they mean how it helped them improve, become a better person. I can't really say Souls did this to me, but I see no better way to define it other than a life changing experience. I can say for sure that I wouldn't just be obsessing over something else if I never played Souls, I guarantee I would never dedicate myself so much to any other game.
Hell, we've been expecting Final Fantasy XV for almost 10 years now, I'm still very excited, and I'd be lying if I say I care about it nearly as much as a series I started playing in 2013. It's also the reason I can't really feel this Souls fatigue, at least not yet. I can't possibly not be interested in all new content to the series when I'm still thinking about Bloodborne daily. That game came out almost a year ago, can you believe that?
I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore, sorry.

Well no point in wondering what kind of build I am going for then.
You didn't happen to save that video somewhere?
Well, the frost knight overall all armor is close enough
and that smough(beast mode)'s helmet looks like berserker's helmet
Sorry everyone, I literally just watched it. Looking for a mirror now.

B-Genius, do you think they've been spoiling too much with their marketing, or is it okay and we're being taken for a wild ride like it was with Bloodborne?

lovely
that could be the starting area
top art direction as always, that mountains view ... hhhhnnngg
and looks like bloodborne quick dodge is back, but this time it's tied to mana's consumption
I downloaded the video just in case lol( IDM <3)
wow
wow
the dagger art makes tyhe user dashes like in Bloodborne? fucking sweet
I wonder if the ninja flip is in this game too?

it consumed MP so it's one of those weapon arts probably associated with dagger only.

It looks almost like BB (but hopefully on PC we can get rid of the chromatic aberration).
Even the lock dot is straight from BB.
On another thread I was told to not be afraid when I claimed the characters felt "too fast", and very-BB-like on their movements. Other posters explained me that demo characters had maxed up stats.
But I keep seeing the same fast weightless movements that I disliked from BB.
I still have to make up my mind.

From is notorious for reusing assets from old games. Previous Souls games reused assets from each others so this is not surprised.
Looking hot.

Can you make another thread for new footage? I was just browsing by chance this thread, new thread would help more people see it.

Dark Souls 2 is the only Souls game with weightless movement so far. It was the first thing I noticed and I was immediately put off. The weight they brought back in BB instantly reminded me of Dark Souls 1 and I see the same here.

Looking at this makes me wonder how anyone can say Bloodborne is a new IP with s straight face.
i don't like how japan gets it almost a month early
is it worth importing...will japan version have english audio/subtitle option?

Bloodborne is a new IP. I say this with a straight face. Do you have problem?
First time hearing about the input lag. I literally could not play TW3 until they added the new control option so yeah, I want to see the receipts on that one. I had zero issues with DS2.

Bless your heart. I'm being kept busy with W3 and Dragon's Dogma but god damn I can't wait for this. Time for a 6th BB play through before DS3 though.

It is not a bad thing Bloodborne was awesome it is almost like having a sequel!
lol
I actually really like that its all raggedy. It makes sense that a common thief wouldn't have a pristine set of armor in as dire a time as we find ourselves in.
What are you talking about?
Bloodborne is a new IP with the souls games mechanics.
What is the problem with that?

Looks like it, but for a boss
The game have lots of BB assets like it will be the engine for this gen Souls games.
Still have dumb pose, I hope the female model have a different armor size
super fast movement still
He didnt received high damage even with that light armor
Enemies dont have that ridiculous track hits like dark souls 2
Dash canceling?
You can primary use the left handed weapon now?

Sounds great. I'll definitely give Redgrave's stuff a look.
First, you're very welcome. If I ever put out my own videos, maybe I'll concentrate on things like this. Language really interests me, and like ENB once said "From don't tend to mince their words".
About the two bolded bits:
1. I believe Redgrave used Miyazaki's wording in an interview (in the official guide) to say that Rom is a child. But yes, limited/underdeveloped intellect is something we can associate with infants.
2. That's great
I don't think a lot of people go around using "vacuous" on a daily basis, but it's definitely a word that conveys a certain image. Besides, if English isn't your first language, you certainly fooled me!Haha, that's really awesome to hear, and I feel somewhat similar. The concept of "Souls fatigue" is an interesting phenomenon that seems to have only graced this particular series. You don't hear anyone mentioning "Arkham fatigue" or "Assassin's fatigue", or even "FIFA fatigue" (lol). Maybe it's the idea that a certain commitment is required for Souls, and once you commit yourself, they can be quite taxing in several ways.
I hope that people who do feel the fatigue can take a step back and join the party when they're ready. The games aren't going anywhere, and as you say, they can feel fresh even a year down the line thanks to the community.
Thanks again for the chat. If there's ever a "vote a junior day" then I'll be the first to say "Get this man/woman a badge!"
Don't think they've spoiled too much with the actual marketing. (Although Bamco have yet to play their card in the west...) Some leaks will obviously make some people regret clicking, but I'm confident that there are still plenty of lovely surprises in store.
All versions will have English audio. Unfortunately JP version won't have English text, but the Asian version should if you're looking to import.
He crawled out of the ground, for god's sake...
Unspoiled because you could do this in Dark 2.
Hold triangle/Y and you two-hand the off-hand weapon/shield.
Gonna go full Souls-nerd and buy both JP and NA versions. I speak Japanese with a comfortable degree of fluency but I'll be damned if Miyazaki-nese is comprehensible. Even my wife, a native speaker, is frequently mystified when I ask for help translating.
It's so close I can almost smell the ashes. ;-)

Yep, thought the same thing. I commented in the other thread how the bow will be the OP meta for the first few months once everyone finds out they can dominate with it.
Good on you, sir! Haha, the Japanese can be pretty crazy. I think even some natives get stuck.
I was watching one guy's LP and he never figured out the equivalent word for "Insight". He kept referring to it as "Madman's something-something" xD
Will make no promises, but try me
OP against a stationary enemy who dies in two hits, maybe, yes.
It requires stamina to roll and fire immediately after, and if your opponent preempts this, they can punish you easily.
Rapid fire requires both stamina and FP (Focus Points - not called MP due to being used for more than just "magic" this time).
You chew through your arrows and sacrifice mobility. It also takes a bit of time to return to normal stance (similar to the Longsword "Stance" Skill in the Network Test).
Basically, bows have been given a much-needed overhaul for people who like to roleplay as a hunter/archer type character.
I can't say for sure that there won't be an OP bow somewhere in the game once people figure everything out (remember lightning Avelyn...*shudder*), but saying bows will universally be OP based on some footage from the tutorial level seems to be a bit much.

nah 90% of those can be fixed with mods... the weapon durability was and eninge glitch... not sure but i think the sots version had that fixed... but i beat the vanilla version 5 times and durability was never a problem... i put over 250 hours in the PC version with only 1 crash. amazing port... ran amazing on my computer.
EXCELLENT
