How about we wait for the actual end result? They are stating in the interview that they don't want to betray or disappoint their fans.

To the people that have never played a souls game and are saying this is good, how the heck would you know?

I agree about waiting, but Dark Souls 2 wasn't as perfect as Demon's/Dark Souls because of that "broading horizons" attitude. :(

Or.... here me out. 

Start up a new game - Easy Mode OR Hard Mode OR Harder Mode 

Triple the options, triple the fun xD 

That was cheesy I know :(

It's like you're speaking a different language to me. 

I'm sure this what the fans of the souls series want to hear.

lol.

That also didn't have the creator of the franchise on board, right? :P

We'll see how it ends up, for now I think the game looks awesome.

OK but what was once a for sure system seller for me is now a 'wait and see'

Totally fair, the game will have to prove itself just like every other game.

Making it easier? That could... ruin the game. The first game focused on the difficulty aspect. The fact that the game was so hard and rewarding made you addicted to it, because you really wanted to beat those fucking bosses!

So... what happens when you take the difficulty out? You take away that rewarding sensation you get when you beat the bosses! You end up having another hack and slash, and kill anything that was cool about the series. The only cool thing left would be the artstyle.

I'm not against expanding this to a wider audience but doing it at the cost of making the game a worse experience is not good either. The best thing they can hope for is to create a balance so that everyone is satisfied in the end.
