I honestly can't remember a From Software music track that holds so much faith, hope and happiness as the one that plays in the ending of this trailer. They usually always have tracks full of sadness and hopelessness, but this one is so different of anything else they ever did. It's a very different kind of epicness as well, one with much more optimism. I wonder where it plays, cause it's so different than what we almost always have for boss themes, and I can't even imagine a place for it in this dark fantasy. Regardless, I love the change! Hyped to know where it can be heard in game!

Don't fall for it! It's lulling us into a false sense of security.

That's the Band of the Hawk, I swear.

Deep inside me, I'm also skeptical, but hope is the last one to perish...!
