    Thank you Vaati for the shoutout about The Archstones. Ive shared my expereinces about Demon's souls many times, but the game truly meant alot to me back then, and so stepping on board to help revive the game was a no brainer for me. As well I appricate all you do for the souls community too. All your lore videos are a true blessing for me :D
  • @Ziostorm
    4:19 Had no idea but apparently a lot of enemies use talisman effects throughout the game such as the cleanrot knights, millicent’s sisters, and others
  • I swear that FS utilizes real historians and anthropological researchers when making their games. The amount of detail and background in something as simple as a talisman is astounding and a real testament to the amount of time and dedication this team has towards their games.
  • I always thought Mildred was a callback from the Red Phantom that appeared in the swamp stage of Demon’s Souls (5-2) using the Meat Cleaver
  • @Eegor0920
    For MtG inspirations, the whole Innistrad set and setting is basically Bloodborne, down to the predominant style of long-coats and conical hats, the theme of hunts, beasts and blood and even an underlying eldritch secret related to the moon
  • @Coffeenesss
    Thanks for the shoutout to ONGBAL! He’s a master at perfect, cinematic fights with all fromsoft bosses and is a pleasure to watch. His latest no HUD fights against Elden Ring bosses show that he is a master at these games, using every single weapon, sorcery and incantation you can think of. He deserves more subs.
  • Vaati, if you haven't covered it already, I'd love to hear you talk about how Miyazaki's experience reading the LotR books while learning English influenced his fragmented storytelling approach. One of the coolest things I've ever learned.
  • @CGAA07017
    I loved Elden Ring with my soul, but Bloodborne still gives me the chills. What an outstanding experience
  • A MTG connection is a card called 'Lantern of Insight'. The art is a lantern that is covered in/made of eyes (like what the Church Servants use at high Insight), and the effect is 'Each player plays with the top card of their library revealed.' In lore, the library is the planeswalkers (the players) knowledge and memories, and having extra eyes to see inside your mind seems very Bloodborne. The fact that is is called Insight as well leans into that.
  • @walkerred8220
    FromSoftware went from an unknown to niche, niche to acknowledged, acknowledged to respected, respect to beloved and now they sit at the top of the world of gaming. It's been amazing to watch. All the love
  • @enfrax
    i consider ongbal an artist at this point. what he is doing in these games is just the peak. there is no one better than him.
  • Shadows of Yharnam pulling out a shotgun might be the funniest thing I've seen in a while. Someday, a From boss needs to have a second phase that's just "and now he has a gun"
  • @Accidents41
    Love the vids Vaati! Not sure if anyone has noted this but I noticed the other day in Bloodborne the hunter's tool A Call Beyond shows what clearly looks like Astel from Elden Ring. The item talks about The Choir attempting to communicate with the outer cosmos and failing. Instead creating a small exploding star. Thought it was a really nice addition and made me smile after going back to Bloodborne after completing Elden Ring.
  • It's truly mind-boggling to me the amount of things that are hidden away in these games. It truly fleshes out the world & makes it feel lived in.
  • I can't quite explain it with reason, but watching your videos always gives me that warm, ephemeral sense of nostalgia that can't quite be replicated. Thank you for being you, for some of us (myself included) it's things like your content that help us keep at it. Excuse me while I go make myself a cup of tea and go re-binge the 'Discovering Drangleic' series)
  • @Poptartsicles
    For #17, there's a butcher invader in Demon's Souls too! Meat Cleaver Black Phantom of world 5-2! A lady with a large meat cleaver who invades in the toxic swamp! That's the OG female butcher! I'm surprised you didn't mention her!
  • @jeeBisOkay
    One of the cards you showed at 17:49, Terminal Agony, actually looks like it could have directly inspired the flame of frenzy!
