    The concept of the chairs actually raises some REALLY interesting lore implications.
    Imagine how striking it would be if you got to the end of Yahargul and instead of Micolash and pals all sitting in chairs you saw a bunch of corpses all huddled around a lantern. THAT is basically what we would've gotten if chairs were used as the checkpoint system.

    Man Darks souls 2's story sounds like it could've been even better than the one we actually got. But time travel is always a dangerous plot to use so maybe its a good idea they changed it? I mean we don't have access to the old scripts or dialogue before it got redone so for all we know it could've been badly done.

There's a reason why many games with day/night cycles forgo lightmaps entirely and purely rely on real time lighting at the expense of lighting quality since you loose the indirect bounce lighting that pre-baked lightmaps give you. Being that it's not a critical feature I can see why it was cut in the end.

    Man, you know it really would have been cool if DS3 ended (or had an unlockable ending) with the Everlasting Dragons returning to reclaim the world and the Age of Ancients, making everything come full circle. Letting you choose a path where you become a DragonBro along the way who helps restore them.
    If DS3's ideas of the darkness and light in the world always cycling through each other are to be believed then it's possible that such a thing may happen eventually, after the Dark Lord ending, anyway. DS3 sorta skimped out on the dragon related bits and that's kind of a shame. All we got were some snakemen, some annoying wyverns, a butchered goatboi transformation, and the Nameless King.

      It was scraped for same reason it was in numerous other games. It is a fun idea until you start working on it. Then you find out how convoluted time travel really is. Also technically time travel is still a thing, as that is what happen in Ringed City. Just not as game mechanic.

    Imagine if Elden Ring has that changing conditions/lighting system, which, for an open-world game, I think would work really well.

    getting the liver would also make sense because beasts (wolves/werwolves) always eat the liver first (well in all the horror stories at least). so the concept was that the hunters turned to beasts themselves and of course, if they continued eating/crushing livers it just put more meaning in their turning, so the more livers you crushed the more beast you became. does that make sense? well at least in my mind it does :D

    For the bonfire creation mechanic, I imagine players would have been limited to one custom bonfire and that it would have used the Coiled Sword. I could also see the bonfire being a one-use thing. Warp back to the custom bonfire then your character retrieves the sword and has to make another one if they want another checkpoint.

    Vaati, I got some more spicy cut content stuff I heard for you. I recall seeing an article about early Dark Souls 3 testers talking about the version of the game they played. According to them you were supposed to fight different bosses in Firelink Shrine at different times of day, one of them being the primordial serpent *Darkstalker Kaathe* and Pontiff Sullivan, who was supposed to be the last boss apparently. Also apparently the pilgrim butterflies used to flying primordial serpents.
    I think the worm-like flying creatures shown in your video are primordial serpents. Evidence would suggest this.

I re-watched them and then it hit me; Miyasaki won't make another DS/BB again (or at least not any time soon) I felt depressed for the rest of the week, like if all this time I was in negation but now I now it's for real. I will really miss the feeling this games gave me the first time I played them. I know Miyasaki is working on other games but I'm afraid It won't be the same. I just prefer the medieval dark fantasy over feudal japan.
    It may sound absolutely pathetic but these games were part of my life, the feeling they gave me was real for me. I will miss them.

You must still beat the final boss to light the flame.

    Man, not to say Dark Souls 3 was bad, but...all this feels way more like Dark Souls. Grandiose and strange mystery, interesting new mechanics...I'm really sad this stuff got cut in favor of a "safer" game. Maybe understandable considering the circumstances, but man, this all would've felt so fresh and interesting...
    Edit: Maybe it's an appropriate legacy for Dark Souls, however, to have all this mystery to dig into now. Even if the sequels did play it a bit safe. I mean, goodness, Dark Souls 2 sounds so interesting, it really got done dirty. I almost wonder if they would've benefitted more from interconnecting less, almost like...almost Demon Souls was to Dark Souls, in a way. Kind of a shame.

    I think they could have balanced the bonfires by having select spots you can place the swords, so the campfire is already set up but it needs the coiled sword. You only have a finite amount of swords throughout the game, so you have to log your swords carefully so you can realistically get back to where you where if you died and keep on moving until, as you said, you can't go on any longer, but you have to find the spot to camp. If you really need it, you could always go back to a previous spot and set up there if you really need it, but that could be a considerable waste of recourses as time goes on. Your thoughts?
