Wow, that Lance McDonald guy sounds like a real cool dude! I bet his channel is jam packed with radical and interesting content, I’ll be sure to check it out!! 😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉 😉😉

I hope you know how much we appreciate all the cool shit you do. Years later and Dark Souls still stimulates the imagination. I'm sure you will benefit many modders as they unlock tools to add content back into DS games, and make new stuff

@Go! Go! Guts not really a funny person r u

his name is MCDONALDS LOLLLLLLLL NOPE

He's got the good stuff.

It is though. You sir, are a freak and a blessed hero to the From Software community.

9:34, where is that Dark Souls 2 clip from, the one of Drangleic Castle.

I think that those Moonlight Environment, Dusk, "Dragons and a Huge Sun" weather may be used in Elden Ring, withnewer graphics that'd be hella awesome!

I would love to hear what you think about theoretical lore that can be inferred based on some of this cut content. Scientists love this kind of thing, and you are a scientist of sorts in this regard. I left another comment here, and I really hope you’ll check it out and consider doing videos basing theories in full that can come from implications of cut content and such that may or may not give us an idea of what might be going on in the world. Cut content doesn’t mean irrelevant, it just means it’s not in there. When it comes to how that might work into themes of the game would be really cool.

The warp chairs could have been cool if they were implemented the same way lanterns are implemented, but with a combination of the two. Perhaps a lantern hanging over a chair or a bed depending on the surroundings could have been like a night light, and that extra looking around would be rewarded by recognizing the lantern over the top like a mobile for babies since the, “true,” ending is the one in which the player is reborn as a Lovecraftian babe, and the end cutscene could have been extended to having the squid baby put into some kind of crib with the doll turning on the last lantern above your head as you sleep, bringing it full circle in which the moon presence was the first one to realize how to properly get a child. Becoming an adult in psychology terms can mean, “killing your parents,” and becoming your own parent, and growing to be a better version. Perhaps the moon presence figured it out and the whole point of all of it was to test it’s theory on the proper way to have a child as a great one. Considering you are reborn as a squid thing and not a crawling abomination like other forms that the player encounters and kills, such as the thing that comes out of the lady of the night that give a bit of umbilical chord during the blood moon- and perhaps you are to grow up alongside mergo and raise mergo since you are essentially an older great one simply by having a form from the get go (meaning that “age” isn’t the same thing as we think of it as humans, and age is more of a complexity of maturity and insight than it is simply time of being alive), and all of the humanity you have from trying to save people throughout and being able to ascend gives you an evolved idea of the relationship between humans and great ones, which may ultimately be a utopia. The moon presence did its best by offering immortality, but immortality isn’t enough to create a utopia between great ones and mortals. The beastly nature of humans must be dealt with first and must be understood to be dealt with. The player ascending after killing countless best humans and even trying to bring one back with a music box, etc, etc, give the player character the best chance of being the next in line to straighten things out and bring things closer to a communion between the great ones and humans, and an eventual utopia that goes beyond what can be understood. I think there are a lot of interesting things to consider about bloodborne with this in mind, and maybe some inferences that can be made based off of this theoretical way of thinking. Just because it wasn’t programmed in, doesn’t mean it doesn’t make for some very compelling new theories, if based on this type of principle of thinking.

I hope the bonfire creation system is used in some way for elden ring, as i think the making camp style of it would fit the open world gameplay far better than dark souls more tight, almost labyrinthine level design. We will see, though.

I know I'm really late but I think the past thing was cut because they would have to rearrange the entire world layout and cut things out of the skybox since 90% of the locations in DS3 weren't next to eachother in the past

2:20 Heheh Bug Souls

I’ve beat bloodborne like 5 times but it gives me chills every single time I see the amygdalas hanging from buildings 😰

I loved your translation of the final epitaph, nice little piece of lore 😄

When you hear Turncoat and remember unus annus

a lot of times, games don't use day and night cycles; instead, they repurpose used assets in different lights (ie: "night time" lothric could be repurposed as a completely different area.) seeing as how they did not do that, they scrapped their day/night effect. I wonder why they didn't have day/night cycle or something. It's a shame it went to waste.

I would have loved the darkness ceremony mechanic. I'd make everything dark af. DARK SOULS.

vaati vidya more like vaati vidya am i right boys

I'm sure they Will use the burning sun in Elder ring

0:34 unus annus

I had these videos playing in the background while I was working, and then I kinda did a double take when I heard that music.

I once found a strange chalice dungeon where every boss and opponent in Bloodborne was in one area which was infinite and my game crashed after 5 minutes, this was strange as when I re started Bloodborne and entered the chalice dungeon there was only normal enemies from that chalice dungeon

0:31 Unus Annus

The watchdog of the old lords. Wait a minute... So the chalice dungeons truly show a glimpse of the old world and these could be the watchdogs of farron and the old lords would be in reference to the Abyss Watchers. But wait a minute... The undead legion is one of the characters that show the use of blood as an alternative to souls, like with the drake blood knights, and the watchers use the blood of the wolf. AND THE WATCHERS SOMETIMES GO MAD BECOMING BEASTS JUST AS IN BLOODBORNE. Maybe the world of bloodborne is the painted world of ash from the ringed city dlc and the healing blood is a descendant of the blood of the wolf as the followers of farron too would posses the blood of the wolf. The world was pained with the ancient blood of the dark soul and would create a theme of reconnecting to the eldritch truth of the world’s origin in ds1 or even possibly demons souls. It is ironic considering that gale sacrificed everything to create a new world free from the undead curse only for them to bring with them a curse of their own.

Pretty slickith of thee to promote thy self.

0:31 unus annus piano musick

Clicketh the bell 😂

ngl I'm pretty upset we don't have those day/ night/ dusk settings in DS3

I have a suspicion those moonlight ceremonies and world states might be implemented in Elden Ring. I feel like it would fit an open world game more appropriately.

Ah yes, Unus Anus music

Wow DS 2 could be different, I love the time traveling concept of the game. And still i don't know the plot of the story of it, why would we need to travel back in time and what goal is need to achieve?. But we know if this is a concept it is no longer called Darksouls. Also That Creating bone fire mechanic is was really nice, no need to back tracking when you died because you will simply respawn near to your place where you died. BUT it will make the game more a little bit easier, remember Darksouls is HardCore.

If we ever get another dark souls game, I want a midquel based on dark soul 2's original concept. Dark Souls 3 ended the saga pretty well. So as much as want more Dark Souls content, I don't want to ruin it. So any new Souls games should be midquels. We have an unknown number of cycles between the first and last cycles/games.

Is it just me or do the angel wings look kind of like mushrooms tops and bottoms

"SUCH GOOD LORE"... yes, yes it is

Perhaps they could add these old states in based the ending you got

Original Dark Souls 2 is very good but the cut content is also very intresting

I thought ds2 was actually pretty good

Fresh liver = Higado Fresco 😎

Praise the 🌕

TIL the Emerald Herald is half dragon

I remember when i saw DS2 trailer i though i could have had an amazing journey alongside Emerald Herald,not just me alone like in DS1. She had such a good appearance,such a shame that she ended up being a level up tool and have no personality whatsoever... Waste waifu material right there

Is it possible that they used the bonfire creation for themselves as markers so they remember the "Average" distance a player may go? They could do this and still build a believable castle or court yard etc.

I say again, Arena mode needs a free for all so you can have 3 bros just having a mosh pit, maybe even 5, bc I never have more than 3 ppl when i'm doing arena.. i need firends xD ;-;

7:52 The Star, The Hateful.

How about the create a bonfire option but it wears out eventually vs the ones you find. So it might be easy right now but if your not using said bonfire than after awhile it fades out. Also not being able to use this feature near bosses or invasions or something

I love how the Chalice Dungeon explorers mirror the lore of the game, exploring the dungeons to find wonderful mysteries and such.

2:20 Hollow Knight reference :o

Dark Souls 3: Battle Royale. Hop off the Battle Dragon and take to the castle walls of Lothric!

My favorite cut content that I’ve seen is Queelag and The Fair Lady covenant

So this sort of implies that the world darkening is just night rolling in

2:28 DEEPEST LORE

If we ever get to play a remade version of the original dark souls 2, my mission in life is complete.

13:15 Insert your own Hannibel Lecter reference/quote here with a side serving of liver beans and a nice chiante!

Dark souls 2 original plot sounds really cool

I think the whole "making a bonfire" thing would be really cool for elden ring since it's open world

love your vids so much vaati

I hope they will one day remake the Dark Souls Trilogy on the same engine and overhaul Dark Souls 2's story as some sort of "Director's Cut". The game is not broken or even bad, but its nothing of what it should have been. I think redoing it would be really great.

10:57 Thanos, the bearded scholar

what music is it that starts playing around 16:21 ?

We need a prepare to cry for Elden ring!

Fortnite Dark Souls hell yeah

Seriously, Darks souls 2s original story sounded like it had amazing potential and could have been fantastic. I hope an idea like it could be revisited outside of the soulsborne series.

So those Angels in the Dreg Heap are londor pilgrims that made it to "heaven"? So are those pilgrim butterflies that we see in Lothric Castle are those ones who failed and that's "hell"?

Bloodborne is a soulslike not a souls game

@sun bro i say it how it is bud

And it seems you just ignore reason and pretend it doesn't exist

@Wyvern Slayer really? It's been pretty much completely accepted by the community

@sun bro one of three definitons ive heard. Exactly why soulsborne isnt a real thing.

@Wyvern Slayer no it doesn't soulsborne just groups them together because of how similar they and are both made by fromsoft

I just noticed that the flying creatures are called town of he evil eye, so maybe at one point they wanted you to go to astora in the past and show what the attack of the evil eye was like. Just my theory.

The pain I feel as a PC player watching the bloodborne cut content and knowing I'll never even be able to play the base game.

Hey, does anyone else notice that boss themes that's bosses are related to the great ones have more choir playing in them or is it just me?

Imagine if when you put Anor Londo in the past setting you get to fight Ornstein and Smough.

I don't think the game was too linear and not difficult enough to warrant 'bonfires to go'

Those ds3 environments though... damn!!

@ZEDFRA ok:)

@AlexanderTheVue meet me somewhere

@ZEDFRA huh

Let's have a fight, yeah? Me and you.

That smooth transition to subscribe gained you a new sub! I've been enjoying your videos lately and will continue to watch your videos!

Bloodborne is such a cozy game

Listening Majulas theme while seeing for the first time child Emerald Harold and even a dance animation warms my heart beyond measure.

Never understood why they got rid of the warp chairs - they make so much more sense thematically than the lanterns. Yeah I get that they'd fade into the environment, but here's a solution: why not combine the two? Have special chairs with lanterns hanging from them almost like 'reading lights' to distinguish them? Fits in with the ideas of knowledge and insight, and could be designed to easily stand out from everything else.

Covenant themed world states

7:19 That's how I feel about chalice dungeons. Such a cool idea and it was executed decently, it just could have been so much more.

Rip ds4

You can create your own bonfire. It's called cloud saving.

"Viewers who clicketh the bell next to the subscribe button will be notified of new video" I can't believe you got me there 😂

Alright, it's time. Child emerald herald or Aria Pick your imouto of choice now

Herald

Rip bonfire creation thing. What a cool idea... :'(

I'd love that moonlight... It looks gorgeous.

My ideia for dark souls 4 is making a prequel where we will help to link the fire for the first time. That would be epic!!

They could make another game from all the cut content, honestly.

12:17 FBI open up!!

I mean not rly but ok

does anyone still play boodborne? its on PC now through PS now and I need hlep

Those filters would’ve been amazing. Would’ve made the game more beautiful instead of the bland Grey and brown we have now. The options for filters based on in game plot decisions would’ve been amazing.

Imagine if that was one of the ways to end the cycle of Dark Souls by somehow returning dragons to the world. Not necessarily to their former power, but sort of returning a natural part of the world back to it. Dunno how it might really break the cycle, but it could be a side effect or something.

This is really out-there, but about the cut mirror in the Hunter's Dream, it may have been cut because it isn't actually possible to see yourself in a mirror during a dream. I don't know, obviously, but I can't think of any other reason why such a great feature would have been cut.

Thy bell hath been clicked

I wish I could play Dark Souls because I want to experience these 3 masterpieces of games without dying all the damn time.

"Ah yes, did you know, that there is a secret to where if you rejoice and have a toast with me that I'll be very happy"

"Dahta"

I think a lot "lore" in dark souls is accidental, but that isnt bad by any means since it works

14:05 edwaaaaaaaad..

12:13 no Solaire is the cutest character in all Dark souls games

Was playing Dark Soul remaster and I was fighting the Twilight Butterfly, and got me thinking the Twilight Butterfly looks just like the Pilgrim Butterfly so maybe there's a link there, I don't know, just thought it was something interesting.

Rip ds4 ain't coming out...

This whole time travel idea would've been a great thing in Dark Souls 2 even though I like what we have now. Not too disappointed about the lost chalice dungeons though, I was never a fan of them and found them more tedious and boring the more I finished for the platinum.

To be honest if Dark Souls had a type of PvP where a large group of players could all be transported to one area and they'd all fight to the death that is one battle royale I would love to play.

07:51 that quite sudden change in the song and the majesty of the sun literally gave me goosebumps 16:15 so they've discovered the old blood, lol

Let’s say I make a game with that idea of time travel. Would that be considered copyright?

I feel like the corpse/placing bonfire mechanic would have been interesting, but I think the corpse dragging cut scene from the intro you mentioned is possibly actually the Soul of Cinder dragging a bested Undead attempting to link the flame? Just a thought.

Good god, the cut content makes DS2 sound like even less of a Dark Souls experience.

The day time for dark souls 3 LITERALLY MELT MY EYES
