It looks incredible. Much more exciting than Dark Souls for me.

The boss at the end looks like Manus with a wolf face.

System seller for me, provided it isn't too much of a departure from Souls games in game play and difficulty

Was just writing about this. The gameplay will be familiar but has changes that makes high level play drastically different. Your character seems more naturally evasive.There seems to be a lack of armor, which is probably accounted for by the character's decidedly swifter moves. At one point we see him quickly move out of the way of a swing instead of roll. It may sound silly, but that's a real game changer, especially considering not a single blocked attack was shown, fitting in line with Miyazaki's claim that he wants to to remove slowly progressing with your shield raised.

I also wonder if there are more timed events in this game to encourage players to be less timid with their progression. Right before the giant werewolf type creature, we see what appears to be a common enemy freak out and then explode from within. It's pure speculation at this point, but what if enemies succumb more and more into madness as time passes and you must deal with transformations if too slow?

as someone who has played ("completed") Demons Souls 9 times (New game and 8 NG+) i can tell you... that doesn't sounds like her...

she has a more "Calm" ("peaceful"?) tone of voice AND she talks in OLD English.... you know the one, the one where instead of you its thou...

i am probably the biggest Demons Souls lover on this forum, and i would LOVE to see the Maiden in Black again BUT i have to be honest and that really doesn't sounds like her...
