Maybe they’d worship him. The Nibenese would fangirl over him immediately. The Dunmer would consider him a stupid outlander from Akavir. But Sekiro is bros with the Nerevarine so it's cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCzarsHussar Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Just now, The Good Doctor said: It sounds quite good in Japanese. Not annoying, at least. He has a very earnest tone. I really need to replay the game in Japanese with subtitles. The reason I gave up before is not everything has subtitles, and despite knowing all the lore it was slightly annoying not being able to understand what the peon soldiers were saying now and then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like all the eavesdropping and such. It’s mainly just their combat shouting that doesn’t, which I assume is mostly just generic "die for Ashina!" type stuff. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edited July 27 by TheCzarsHussar I almost made Genichrio to be a flaming queer, but he don't deserve that XD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Good Doctor Posted July 27 Author Share Posted July 27 So based on their abilities and deeds, how would you guys rank all the From protagonists in how powerful/dangerous they are? I think it’s: Tarnished- Basically a god, insanely high upper limits for everything, spirit summons, magic double jumping horse Wolf- Stupid fast, biggest "utility belt", can deflect almost anything, Mortal Blade that can execute immortals, grappling hook Hunter- Very fast, has guns, heals on hits, killed Cthulhu Ashen One- Slower than the above but fastest Souls character, defeated Nameless, Soul of Cinder, and Gael, high upper limits Chosen Undead- Slowest, but great poise and can "bass cannon" through most things, killed the most legendary figures in Dark Souls after their prime Bearer of the Curse- Versatile, but slow and none of his bosses are as impressive as Gwyn or Manus. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lore wise Bearer Seek Seek Lest also has an insane upper limit. Depending on if you just blindly follow the story or break away, talk to Aldia, talk to Vendrick, and attain the crowns you literally escape the firelinking cycle. Unable to hollow while keeping human form. Depending on if the Bearer turned his back on the firelinking cycle means it was likely only Gael that truly killed him. Or more likely it's non canon and he's just one of the uncountable number of undead who linked the fire over the ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCzarsHussar Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 I think Fromsoft made it a little too obscure. That the entire reason your character was in Drangleic was to find a solution to their hollowing. But to their credit that's a huge theme with the game, that nobody else really can remember their purpose for being in such a cursed land. It's up to the player to remember and pursue their own cure.

The Good Doctor Posted July 27 Author Share Posted July 27 I just learned how to waterfowl dance in Sekiro by trading fish scales to a dude in a pot. Also recently killed O'rin, who was a very fun fight and would probably be my favorite miniboss if not for the Armored Warrior. I had five bottles of alcohol in my inventory so I have been traveling around drinking with the main characters and listening to their stories. It’s really cool how they tie together and start to form a complete picture. Also kinda sad. Seems like Isshin, Dogen, Emma, several of the bosses, and even the Sculptor (before he got lost in the killing) were all good friends back in the day. 2 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all fought together for Ashina's independence. And then grew old. Oh and how did you like the Fishing Village 2.0 One of my favorite zones. That and the mist shrouded forest. There's so many homakes to various types of horror. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Emma, if I remember, was an orphan who The Sculptor found. And realizing a killer like him shouldn't raise a kid, he entrusted her to Dogen instead of adopting her himself. Which requires alot of self awareness 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again shows how incredibly diverse this game is with its set pieces and gameplay. Had a baby "Rom" moment when I killed the flutist and the illusion vanished, revealing the entire mist and even the building itself were lies. 2 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCzarsHussar Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Sekiro has the huge benefit of only a single build and character for the player. It allows for incredibly fine tuned bosses and world building. Since there's no worry of Gloibleun the Hideous, an 99 int sorcerer one shotting the bosses from a distance with magic, who is equally non-fitting into the lore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
