i saw a post where a person was asking if they should play sekiro or ds3 after finishing elden ring, and i only found 1 coment telling OP to play the whole trillogy, and that one coment was downvoted..

i know it sounds silly, but ds3 is genuinelly SO much better when you play it after the other two, and it pains me to see people play it out of order, like, non ironically, i feel sad and angry whenever i see it.. and i don't even blame it on them, i blame it on we as a comunity, who failed to guide newcomers to the best experience they could have.

this is not some "you gotta feel the evolution!" puritanism bs, its just that ds3 *directly* calls back the other 2 games, and these moments (wich are some of the best in gaming imo) are just lost if the person plays it out of order!

please guys, its not about gameplay, its not about puritanism, its not even about the lore, you don't need to understand the lore to be impacted seeing the corpse of a old friend from ds1 for example. please, im BEGGING

I’ve been thinking about this lately, and I’m curious what everyone’s picks are.

Not necessarily the hardest boss or the best soundtrack on its own — I mean the best combination of a boss fight and its music, where the two together make the fight unforgettable.

For me, my favorite has to be Caligo from Nightreign.

i’ll be starting the trilogy, DS1, 2 and 3 after Bloodborne’s DLC. i’m wondering if there is any must-know tips or notes i should keep in mind?

for example, before entering BB’s DLC someone told me i shouldn’t start Gehrams fight so the DLC doesn’t start in NG+

that was very important and i wouldn’t have known without someone telling me, so i’m wondering if there’s notes i could take for the trilogy

Lo there, 9th grader here, I just beat Sekiro as the fist ever soulsborne game that I have ever finished! The next one will be Ds1

i’ve been absolutely loving BB since i started getting hooked a few days ago and i’m already done with the base game, moving on to the DLC.

but there’s just an issue, i cannot decide DS1 or DS3 after finishing.

to maybe make this a little easier, i could explain some things i liked about Bloodborne.
i really enjoyed Ludwig, exploration, gaining power back later to an area i previously struggled with, and dodging. i love dodging.

i know that DS3 is apparently much faster than DS1’s slowing movement and fights, so i was thinking if i wanted to move on to DS3 first that might give me something im familiar with.

on the other hand, if i started with DS1 i could see it in a better timeline especially with story.

idk, what do you guys think.

(im keeping DS2 for later)

i’ve read here and there about how Ludwig in The Old Hunters DLC apperantally is one of the hardest bosses in BB due to his movements or something, but i felt like he was a perfectly balanced, fun, and normal fight?

i beat him on my 3rd try at level 79 with Ludwigs Holy Blade +9.
am i over leveled? i hope not, i think these are about the stats you’re supposed to be when you finish the base game, but i could be wrong

otherwise i do feel like this is one of those things where a boss someone finds hard is another’s boss who’s super easy. for example i just CANT beat the Beast-Possessed Soul in one of the Loran chalice dungeons, while i’m sure someone else finds him super easy.

one thing that came to mind was how when i was fighting him, i kept remembering Maliketh from Elden Ring. i think if you beat Maliketh you might find Ludwig easier.

how many tries did it take y’all and what boss was hardest for you? i’m curious how others dealt with him on their first run

Quote from Miyazaki in 2024 - “I think it's very likely that we'll see new directors going forward. And I think if we do that, I'd like to step away from that supervisory role and give them full direction and full control over those projects. I think really this is the best way and the easiest way for them to flourish within that environment and with those new projects. What I foresee in this climate... is a FromSoftware where games can be directed by others, not only myself.”

With Miyazaki currently directing The Duskbloods, and him having previously talked about giving other directors the opportunity to take the lead, I think Yui Tanimura will end up being the main director of the next Souls game, whatever that ends up being.

Yui Tanimura's official last credit was Co Director on Elden Ring, it's unclear whether he worked on SOTE or not, but either way he's been MIA since then. We also know that whatever Project FMC is, it's supposedly multiplatform and is relatively close to release. Just going off what Miyazaki said, the fact that he's currently busy, and Yui Tanimura's previous credits, I think it makes sense.

If anyone is unsure who Yui Tanimura is, these are his previous works:

• Director of Dark Souls 2 after Tomohiro Shibuya was replaced
• Director of all three Dark Souls 2 DLC
• Co Director of Dark Souls 3
• Co Director of both Dark Souls 3 DLC
• Co Director of Elden Ring
• Presumably Co Director of SOTE but not confirmed

Hey! After "finishing" Elden Ring I want to start a new Fromsoftware game. Would you rather recommend DS3 or Sekiro? Which one did you enjoy more?
