Post by Flak Beard »

This just looks plain cool. I really like the games that From Software does.

Just visually I can buy into this game. The stop motion look is very appealing.

That's not the stop motion look, that's the NES sprite look. In our day we had two frames of animation and we liked it!

It's clear that this game's art style is heavily based on Dragon Warrior, so I'm looking forward to this.

Very cool. I hope we don't have too detailed attacks. An enemy flashing is more than enough to convey the image of a sword attack.

The word "postmodern" was the first thing that came into my mind was I saw the pictures.

Seeing the boomerang action to hit a switch also harkens back to Zelda. It's clear this is going to be one of the greatest games of all time. It even has a character creator for making your own 16x16x16 savior.

Loved the lack of frames of animation for attacks.
