    How so? When I first played Dark Souls I instantly thought "this game reminds me of Monster Hunter" and it is highly likely FROM was influenced by Monster Hunter-series when making souls games.
    I think Souls series could do some boss battles more like Monster Hunter ( no visual health bar, epic almost hour long battles etc.) at least dragon Fights.

    Well i am kind of releived cause who we thought was the new director wasn't the director for Monster Hunter, he was just someone involved with the CG cutscenes.

    If he actually was the director of Monster hunter 2 freedom, i would of been happy he was doing Dark Souls 2(why wouldn't you be?). I am happy cause not only have these two co-directors worked together but they DO have experience as directors. They worked on the A.C.E franchise, it is a mecha game developed by Fromsoft that was never released outside of Japan.

    Wait if he's not the MH director who is he? Is it someone else with the same name (Shibuya)? I'd appreciate some clarification.

    Well it is hard to confirm, but it seems a lot more likely that it is not the Monster Hunter Shibuya(who didn't really do much with monster hunter, he just did some CG work on cut scenes.)

    Who i think it is, and someone on NeoGaf pointed out is most likely the one, is the Director of Fromsofts A.C.E games. Which were not released outside of Japan. Here is one of the games they both worked on, and Shibuya Directed. It is good cause that means he has a lot more experience then i had originally thought after looking up the Monster Hunter Shibuya.

    I never said they weren't similar, but Dark Souls is infinitely better if you ask me, so I would hate to see even more MH stuff implemented in the new game.

    Somebody should make a petition against easy mode, since the Wii U petition is going so good.

    Fromsoft is probably incredibly sick of petitions by now and even if they added an easy mode, it wouldn't mean that you have to play it

    I don't think there will be an easy mode, it would honestly just make balancing the game and figuring out how to implement online play. Plus, they went out of their way to say that whole thing a while ago about there possibly being an easy mode was a translation error.

    Yeah I'm sure western devs have people scouring the internet for petitions written in Japanese that they can translate and read them.

    These devs are Japanese, people. Unless you can speak or write Japanese I don't think they are going to read/care what you say.

    Plus I'm guessing the Japanese population has a lot of the same concerns that we do. I've played other games where the devs only listened to the Japanese community (FFXI) and things seemed to get fixed eventually that the English speakers were concerned about.

    NO MORE PETITIONS. We have absolutely no reason to make a petition about the game that has no info or gamefootage out and with all these petitions FROM probably thinks the whole Souls-community is a bunch of crybabys who are never happy with what they have and stop reacting to fanbase opinions.

    No more! enough is enough! I've had it with these motherf*cking petitions on this motherf*cking forum!

    Agreed, we have more threads complaining about possible changes in the sequel than we do confirmed changes.

    Calm down guys, I was just kidding about the petition. I was just making fun of all the people who are super freaked out after just an announcement trailer.

    Freaked out perhaps isnt the word....concerned is...

    I cant remember how long a gap there was between demon's and dark...it just seems like this is being kinda rushed to me.

    Maybe im not so worried. I thought it was longer from DeS to Dks.

    Ah well the trailer looks amazing but i still reckon that the DeS trailer was the best of them all. The music was awesome!

    I wouldn't worry about this. Demon's Souls was announced in late 2008, released in NA in Oct 2009. Dark Souls was announced in late 2010, released in NA Oct 2011. Dark Souls 2 was just announced, so if the pattern holds, we'll see it around late 2013. Doesn't feel rushed at all.

    Maybe this has been mentioned earlier I haven't been keeping up with the posts on this thread much, but I just came across an interesting bit of dialogue from Gwyneverne,

    "Indeed, we had felt the warmth of fire, it's radiance, an the life it sustaineth. Without fire, all shall be a frigid and frightful Dark."

    Maybe this is pointing us to a sequel rather than a prequel, after having the dark ending, or after exhausting undeads to rekindle the kiln flame maybe the world has finally entered this twilight, and that's why we have snow covered landscapes and our new 'oscar' fellow is shown to have fur topped armour.

    Of course, this is just speculation...

    Could be. Could also explain the Darkwraiths and New Londo Ruins. It was flooded to keep them from leaving, but there's also no bonfire anywhere in the Ruins.

    Dark Souls was officially announced the 2nd February of 2011. 7 months. DkS II was announced this month so, I would expect it around August 2013.

    I just watched the trailer for the 20th time or something, at Namco's own youtube channel, but I never read the caption until now: ''FROM SOFTWARE and NAMCO BANDAI Games presents a new DARK SOULS to their passionate fans.''

    So hopefully they ''listen'' to us, and kinda know what we want and expect.

    I think Dark Souls 2 is going to take place in somewhere we know because he refused to spoil the location in the interview or we would instantly know.

    I have the feeling it's either Carim or Ariamis...first I though it would be Zena, but I'm not too convinced anymore, I just want it to be all of them though big grin
