The Estus Animation takes longer
Phantoms can use Estus and possibly find Loot from Enemies
I estimate that the Phantom Timer is around 10 Minutes (they were killing a lot of Enmies)

Also noticed that the stones of healing healed really really slowly. I wonder if there is a difference in healing speed between different sized stones, or is it just the amount.

Definately, there were lots of types of Grass in Demons too .

It seems From finally found a good way to handle Healing .
In Demons you could just eat Grass and restore all of your Health really fast even when you're surrounded by Enemies .

I really like the Stones, and they seem to be a common drop, he got 3 or so of them from an Enemy .

Also Humanity seems to work like the Ephermal Eye Stones in Demons .
They restore your Human Form without having to rest at a Bonfire, but it doesn't heal you like in Darks . However i didn't see Humanity greyed out when he was Human, maybe there is more to it ?

Damn it I've got to stop watching these videos otherwise I'll spoil that first time experience. I'm really happy with what I've seen so far, the combat looks tight as ever. I've deleted my videos and hopefully my current drunkness will let me forget enemy locations while also feeling satisfied that this game is going to be another massive improvement over the Souls series.

It certainly looks to be an improvement. The AI is better in terms of NPC teamwork (the two rouges kept flanking the player), the summons use estus, but don't get yours, plus, you get to see the HP of the summons and know their locations to go help without wandering around forever.

Also red phantoms!   And that wasn't an invader either. I wonder if those sorts of enemies will just sorta show up out of the blue (well, red I suppose) or if this means the return of the Gravelords or something akin to them?

Absolutely spetacular, they really got the ideia, the game looks so great, all aspects of the gameplay seem to be improved, awesome.

Some more beta footage :

Here is another. I hope I didn't repeat something already posted. I did look.

edit: Hope I didn't post this in the wrong place.
edit2: Feel free to delete this post. Ex Serv posted this and another here. Thanks Ex Serv. I'll be more careful next time.

lol why does the head of the character playing the video tilt back like that in both video's? Makes it look like a ragdoll, does anyone else see this, it happens mostly when running..

or him just realised it's a him, look kinda retarded:laughing:

I could only watch a few minutes...


But holy hell it looks good.

Yep, aside from the Beta Animations it looks great .

Oh, yeah! I'm excited! Skare.

@ Phene: There seemed to be a lot of odd player movements but most seemed to be player newbie stuff. I'm gonna watch again to see what you saw.

@ Marino: Haha! I gotta familiarize myself with this section. You posted the vid too. Nice! I won't be "jumping in" again until I know whats what.

i must warn you this COULD be the biggest Spoiler yet.

this guy claims to have found a wall of texte made of in game item descriptions, and as we all know this is where the story really happens.
