TGS Interview of Tui Tanimmura (Dark Souls 2 Director)

https://youtu.be/qUQ7Plwj_sQ

They talk about how the story will be in the same world as Dark Souls, but also independent of the story from Dark Souls 1.  They also talk about working more on balancing.  How covenants and summoning will of course be coming back.  About how they still want to keep the story very cryptic, along with how they are going to be working on animations for the game even more to try and improve them.  Mentioning that already noted idea of 3 weapon slots.  And March 2014 release is their plan.

I really wish people would read more of this stuff. A lot of common beliefs would be dispelled if people researched. I digress, good post Tolvo.

Nice post, also 100% agree Obsessed, so much starts as one person speculating and 1 week later it's getting preached as fact. So annoying and doesn't help anyone or the games rep.
+1 to both of you.

Finally was able to sit and watch this. The more that man talks about the game, the better I feel. And I've never stopped being anything but excited.

Lots of great info, especially about the storytelling method remaining the same!

Didn't really have doubts about this
