Ah, in final version Ed have less pink skin tone, but whatever


Let's see, if i do a second round i will probably do Scar, Lust and Mustang


I've found a page that stream all episodes of both, for some style reason i chosen to start with the older one... many times i find more stylish the old chunky anime style compared to the more polished modern one.
Same like with Berserk, as much the new OAVs are awesome and crazy good, they kinda missed a little bit the spirit compared to the more "dirty" anime episodes... i don't know if i explain it, i see the OAV as clearly better but still in the process something got lost

Will probably see brotherhood too in future, but before i'm going to recover something else that for one reason or another i missed in the past. I've still the second half of Montecristo that wait me, or maybe Ushio and Tora OAVs

Sweet FMA CaS! Winry's cargo pants are pure win. Never realized there was difference between original and BroHood.

Ah no I totally get what you mean - There's a nostalgic feel to it, kinda like listening to a vinyl over a CD. CD's don't have that crinkle to them that makes a vinyl feel so, enticing? The cleaner it looks the more it approached Uncanny Valley, not that animé has to worry much about that.

Brotherhood has a much better story though, and some far cooler characters. If you don't love Olivier than I'll eat a hat.

Olivier won me over after like 5 minutes of screen-time.
Her, Riza, and Izumi are easily my favorite FMA characters
I think I have a weakness for female characters who are both beautiful and terrifying.
 
shopped the skintone, that's closer to how look ingame

Since Dark Souls pack was probably my most appreciated thing (at least on DeviantArt surely it is) i'm thinking to do a DS2 pack too

Not awesome as DaS1 (and even DeS was superior as design/atmosphere, in ProjectBeast i want to believe :D), still it got some nice designs... example Lucatiel and beerbro Gavlan are cool, then i will find someone else to do (Straid? Yeah, probably)
 
Yeah... and if we count Bosses is no contest, DaS1 was just so good

DeS was all atmosphere and invented the series style
DaS1 kinda lost some darkness to get a lil bit more fantasy, but was fucking Masterpiece

DaS2 lost a lot everywhere... art style, chara design, atmosphere, level design, game design, class/weapon curve, even the fucking stats are worse lol :D

But still, considering that basically they jumped straight to nextgen and left these poor guys with the responsibility of make a sequel for the most loved hardcore fetish of the generation... well, they made a good job

Maybe if was more a spin-off (or just new name, like Dem to Dar) the comparision was less harsh, but if they needed dat "2" to get many money$ as possible to boost Project Beast works, i say fuck yeah :D

PVP is pretty good at least. S'about all Dk2 has over the others.

I dunno if saying they "jumped ship for nextgen" is fair comment, seems to me Namco said "You lot, go work on Beast, we'll take your framework and give it to these guys". I feel bad for Miyazaki, but the time he spent not doing Dark 2 and working on Beast should hopefully make the latter so much better. We hope. :/

Praise the Gun!
 
Sweet DaS2 CaS. Licia of Lindeldt is one foxy lady. Her WoG packs quite a punch too. I think the bosses were most fun in DeS. DaS1 was definitely the prettiest though. DaS2 great but not up to same level as previous two. DaS2 PVP is absolutely ruined by Soul Memory.

May be this, since DeS i ever ignored all the PvP side
Played with it a lil bit back in Dem btw

my 2 cents

Nah, for me DS is all about immersion/atmosphere and the challenge of do all your shit alone without help or shortcuts (example i don't even summon NPC)... specially about bosses, i feel like once somebody is with you it become another game, it totally fuck up boss game design. I mean i ever play as quick/agile light armored char with 2hand greatsword (not UGS, stuff like dragenleic s or claymore), you can't block, you can't free drink estus when somebody else is facing the boss... the boss chase you and you only all the time, if you need to drink you have to create your chance (like roll an attack and get distance or bait a big one and dodge)... back in DaS1 i made not remember wich boss in co-op with a npc, all this is gone :D

As PvP i don't know, sometime is fun for me do it after my first complete run through the game, after i've already enjoyed the game. It add spice making runs a lil more umpredictable, but overall it just break the mod/atmosphere/gameplay for me... i way prefer the kind of gameplay i've against monsters, than make a PvP build and throw cheap stuff at each other :D
I understand why people like it, but is just what i don't search in DS. If i want VS action i change disc and start dat SSf4 (soon USF4) :D

I wish you get get Luca's hat without that stupid mask attached. Wonder if someone has modded it for the PC version...
Click to expand...
Amen

Actually the mask itself FOR LUCATIEL was a great idea, go well with the classic concept of the female warrior/knight that try to conceal her gender

But for for Christ's sake let me chose if i want her hat (the descrition say that's only her to have the mask attached) or the standard one

They let me kill her just to discover after that i can't have he simple hat without mask
She is died for nothing, i blame B team :(

Aslatiel could drop the non-mask version maybe? Like, I get the point of it but, eh.
