"has the world found a new savior, or have the demons found a new slave?"
Those were the 2 reasons. The last bit wasn't very clear, apologies!
@Colgate is great remake!
*clicks on demon's souls video*
*Gets an ad for the LG Nexus*
Well played, youtube. Well played.
Ahh that's good
The puns are real
Stronies i dont get it
George Hilliard You know, the Nexus from Demons souls? From where you level up and stuff.
JForJenni oh thanms
I had to play Demon's Souls again in its entirety to get footage from this series, and I forgot how much I loved it too! It has incredible atmosphere, music and environments. I think Dark Souls beats it in a few gameplay departments, but both games are so great in different ways
Probably the most memorable PS3 exclusive title
***** Surely that's quite true, but do remember the game you took your avi from..
A Real shame it was an exclusive, i believe that if this game was released on all platforms it would have been more successful in the past. I say this only because i want to see this game remastered and playable on all platforms, for everyone to enjoy and experience this amazing journey that so few were able to witness. I know, it's a fruitless ambition...
its true it could have made more money that way, but it just wasnt possible to do a multiplatform release. Remember, From Software was on the verge of Bankruptcy before Demon's Souls came out. This game came out of a trashed idea to create a modern King's Field game halfway through the development of another game. This game was a gigantic risk and From Software had no resources to support any kind of risk, so they just did what was safest and signed an exclusive deal with Sony and released the game to Japanese audiences only. We Should consider ourselves lucky this game made it outside of Japan and spawning a whole new genre of videogame is lottery winning levels of luck.
@@TheInfamousWolf Wait 4-8 more years it might happen. It might be unplayable garbage or the best way to play.
By far
You don't have a choice in sparing Astraea because you're a prisoner in the Nexus until the Old One is defeated. The monumental mocks you if you refuse to help making it clear you will never escape the Nexus on your own.
Also, the Maiden in Black said she will guide you but she guides you to your death and I'm certain she did that to trap the hero so the Monumental can use him.
The Monumental probably selected the hero as the most capable human to become the most powerful demon and told the maiden to trap him and guide him against the Old One.
this is really late, but I'm pretty sure that's the Monumental's voice in the begining and not the Maiden's
It is the same voice of the monumental
You do have a choice, do or do not.
Or you can take a third option and serve the old one. At the end you're suppose to leave the maiden in black, but you can cut her down instead.
From the New Game, the player CHOOSES to adventure into Boletaria through the rift. The player is then killed by Vanguard or by the Dragon God and is thus binded to the Nexus to never be freed, not even in victory or death.
From each NG+ we are basically summoned in a new world like the previous one to repeat our actions. This time we can choose different routes, but the end result is the same. Even if we do embrace the Old One, likely leading to the end of that world and the creating of the Dark Soul's timeline, it doesn't free us.
But it was OUR choice to venture deep into the rift, to colect Souls and learn of the Soul Arts. We were then imprisoned and proved to be the most powerful Demon Slayer alive, achieving power beyond all Archdemons. Even as the Monumental and his minions, as in the Maiden and Mephisto, keep us there, the initial choice was ours and we end up trapped into and undending cycle.
@@LuizAlexPhoenix not really the fog would have shallowed the world one way or the other so at best you could have stalled for time
Actually it has been confifmed that the reason we went trough the fog wall wass that there was a boss behind it and we wanted that sweet demon soul
Sad he stopped doing Demon's Souls Lore
Reynaldo Herrera there's not a whole lot but I hope he does cover things like the Old Hero
@@jimmyelkordy3752 I'd like for him to do in depth lore videos on the areas of Demons' Souls. Specifically the Tower of Latria.
still my favorite of all Soulsbourne but im partial because this game came first.
Demon Souls is more coherent than Dark Souls.. both fortunately and unfortunately.
@@jimmyelkordy3752 I would argue there is more than you think.
Looks like Demons' Souls is back on the menu, boys!
Well a lot of it isn't lifted directly from the games dialogue, but I get what you mean. This episode is more of a prologue - it's meant to establish the origins of the world so that people will understand the more complicated episodes in future.
You're not just buying the song, you're buying the rights to use it as well.
Wish you did more character lore for Demon's Souls. Please return to this some time among your Dark Souls 2 videos! What you make is golden!
I love it too! No worries. Subsequent episodes will be much better as I start to focus on characters :)
"Not much history of this time remains"
Damnait Solaire! Quit losing the annals of history!!!
What if it’s backwards and demon souls is the age after the age of dark
That makes so much sense
Magnificent
Holy Shit. You might be on to something
What if it Is the Age of Dark? The age of man kind.
And then bloodborne
Please do some 5 Things you didn't know about Demon's Souls!!
Would be quite Intresting, yeah^^
I'm re watching all of these because of the remake trailer that got dropped earlier, anybody else?
Yep
Same here
Who is here after the PS5 remake announcement!?
Me
My excitement for Demon’s Souls remake is tempered by my annoyance that I would have to purchase the console that I don’t prefer, to play the damn thing. On the bright side, I’d finally get to play Bloodborne. Anybody else feeling the same predicament?
Im here after it but not because of it
@@glinteastwood nope not in that predicament
@@glinteastwood nope, i own every gaming system. imo i feel we should stop console wars they were dumb to begin with.
Subsequent episodes will focus much more on characters - the past 2 videos in this series have just been to establish the world
It's stock music, that's just the way it is. They don't want you to steal it, they want you to license it.
How do you think I feel? I have to listen to that over and over as I search for a track that fits!
All the feels man... your videos give me goosebumps
Are there no more Demons Souls lore videos from Vaati after the 5? surely there must be more lore to it.
Dark Souls 2 over shadowed it since it was newer and more popular and the same thing happened with DS3
Ze Corn King
damn... I liked Demon's Souls was hoping Vaati would continue this
yeah me too
@@benglaser1345 I am STILL waiting for Maria's Prepare to Cry
He may make more videos after the remaster is released
I'll be doing on on Ostrava soon :)
There was one who managed to get out of the fog. Vallarfax
@@ProjektVeiSS Wait it is literally said that he got out and told the world about Boletaria and the demons. Thats the reason why so many legendary heroes came there in the first place. So do you mean that he came back into the fog again?
I'm not necessarily being hard on myself - it's just a fact that i'll be able to tell stories of characters better than the origins of a world, you know?
Please VaatiVidya continue in these videos. Originaly i only played dark souls and i watched and listened to ENB videos. Since i've seen your videos and heard your style of narration i can't enjoy no one elses. It's so brilliant, please continue. I have already bought Demon Souls even i don't have PS3 yet. :D
Plesae more Lore videos of Demon's Souls Vaati! These are awesome!
vaati your videos are so deep filled with heart, soul and details that some people including me have sadly over looked because of you I look at demon souls and dark souls in a completely new way and I thank you for that and the hard work and dedication you put on your videos keep up the awesome work
I know this is old af, but the soundtrack used in the video, just... beautiful. Awesome vídeo, btw
Anyone else watching all the souls lore videos in preparation for Dark Souls 3?
***** yeah, i'm pumped for it.
almlst there guys, along with Game of Thrones, this april is the best.
ITS OUT!!! HYPU!!!
+Christopher Hicks sadly demon souls is not linked to dark souls, except maybe do you remember in the nexus there was the 6th (?) portal to the land of the giants , you can speculate that the land of the giants is lordran but naaaah anyway they wouldve loved to make ds2 but sony got the lisence.
I'm still not clear on the correlation. Are Demon's Souls and the beloved Dark Souls intertwined?
I think Vaati would make an amazing NPC in the next souls game. Such a creepy/grisly voice. (no homo)
I absolutely love the Demon Souls videos you have, everyone of them is tragically beautiful!
showing a friend thses videos after the switch direct to get him into these games. thank you for putting so much love into these.
Will Vaati do other "Demon's Soul" lore video? There is still a lot that could be said about this game lore.
^^ If we ask him often enough it might happen ;-)
I would assume he could continue this if he is finished with all the Lore about the three Dark Souls games and Blood Born.
I read on his Patreon page that the persons who pays about 50Euro/Dollars per month are in closer contact to him (which seems fair for me ^^) and maybe if one of them asks about Demon Souls it may happen^^
I would love more Demon Souls as well...
There is a lot more to talk about in Demon's Souls, but looks like Dark Souls give more views
I love Demon/Dark Souls you have no idea but this is exactly what I thought was missing...a good storyline. I mean yes there is one but not remotly close to what I just watched. I'll continue on watching your videos
There's nothing you've posted that has been any less than absolutely perfect.
You could not have said it better. Especially about the music. Ohh the music... it was spot on.
And honestly when you replay a game like Demon's Souls after so long, you really do get that feeling of fascination and awe like when you first start up a Fresh Souls game.
Demon's Souls is my favourite in the series.
It might sound crazy and i know people won't agree but for me I say in order I like:
Dark Souls 2 ≥ Demon Souls -> Dark Souls 1
***** Jimmy, how does it feel to be the best guitarist in the world?
StealthBlade98:o how can you put DS1 last lol I like ds2 im with you don't know why people bitch
Michael Morris Because i put demon souls after dark souls 2 lol
But really outside of some technical features and gameplay improvements i didn't like it as much demon souls.
***** Dark Souls 2 is more of a sport, and Demons Souls and Dark Souls are more games. I personally love Demons Souls. More than Dark Souls, but Dark Souls is I think the best game in the series from a subjective point of view. It is narratively superior in every way.
Dark Souls 2 is mechanically superior in every way, and focused on allowing PvP to be fully flushed out and dynamic. More so than its predecessors. And this resulted in the narrative of Dark Souls 2 fall by the wayside.
They are all great games, for different reasons.
I have one, but I guess I was speaking a bit too close this time around
Even after all these years, I still love your Soulsborne videos Vaati. You have enriched my experience and I am so grateful for it. From the bottom of my heart and the depths of my soul, Thank You
go through with this series bro.. content is getting better and better
Could you do more demons souls lore videos?
you're vids are just awesome but please you have to do more for demon's souls so that i can understand more of the game just finished the game today but there are 1000000 questions
Yep. His videos really help to make sense of these games.
I am so thrilled for your Demons Souls lore videos. Your Lore videos are truly incredible, and I can simply hear the passion for it all in your voice. As much as I am a fan of Dark Souls, Demons Souls always hit me a bit harder. So I look forward to it all, and thank you for all the time you put into it.
Watching this as I play the remake, learned new things that I missed.
Demon Souls Remake for ps5 is coming!
Everyone who watches this please understand that miyazaki said demon's souls story and dark souls are not related.
This will never change from being my favorite souls like.
An awesome introduction to the Demon souls lore videos. Of the many things that draw me to both demon souls and dark souls, i just how beautifully sad and hopeful they are. You have a really good way of narrating/story telling, i really enjoy kicking it back with a cup of tea and enjoying these series : )
The Old One is probably the best villain in any story ever. Yes, he's better written than Cthulhu to me.
For the point is that the Old One is not really evil _per se_. He's just a force of nature. An allegory to things in nature like Black Holes that simply exist to violently destroy for no apparent reason, or even the Big Bang, both of which have the power, according to science, to warp and destroy the fabric of reality and create or discard scientific laws in the process. Things that are probably ultimately unknowable, and drive people mad who try to understand their logic, if there is any. It has no hate, it just wants to devour. And will spawn "demons" to help the process along. It feels spiteful, but ultimately isn't even that. It's cold, senseless destruction as if by natural law. This game is an allegory for the horror of existence. If you know anything about the nature of reality most of it is, according to scientists, pointless and destructive. A meaningless cycle. See the theme?
No game in the series has ever come close to this depth.
John NoNameGibbon >No game in the series has ever come close to this depth
Dark souls,Dark souls 3 and bloodborne say hi
The themes to those games are just mythological. While that's great and all, it doesn't make a statement about life itself like Demon's Souls did. Demon's Souls had a point to make about life's struggle. It was art.
dark souls is about life as well in a deeper unseemly way
Dark souls theme: The inability to accept change, and the consequences of that decision; Gwyn fought to retain the world as it was (under the control of the gods,) and in doing so left if (and himself) an empty husk.
Bloodborne theme: The zealous pursuit of truth and it's ramifications. Willem and Laurence both sought out a truth that the world wasn't ready for, and the city of Yharnam paid the price.
I can respect your opinion that the theme of Demon's Souls is better, but let's not pretend that the other games are thoroughly without a life lesson to match those in Demon's Souls.
But you'd be surprised how much of dark souls has biblical origin
too bad there were only 2 episodes of this :(
Your lore videos are so good that I have to watch them in full screen.
sony vegas 11!
You notice in dark souls that the bed of chaos is basically a tree like being much like the old one some would say that is izelith sorry if I spelled the name wrong but at the end of sinners rise we learn the witch is the lost sinner and the elium Lois is a house to the old chaos now being old (okay I admit that last bit is really cheesy but it something to think about)
Aldia is the larval form of the Old One in Demons Souls, i am convinced!!!
I suppose I should mention that the link at the end to Demon's Souls Lore (Speculation) is currently dead, if you care to put something in the playlist where it's pointing.
this will be just as good as your previous work, if not better, this channel is awesome
Hey Vaati, I just wanna say that I love your lore vids. But man, your characters always look so... unfashionable :)
At the end of the video we have 2 options. The left option (Speculation) comes up as Private Playlist, disappointingly! Chance for a fix?!
Theory: The destroyed Archstone represents the giants or kings who reigned during the Age of Fire. And the Dark Souls saga tells how that Archestone was destroyed.
Came back here after yesterday's (11th of june 2020) HUGE announcement. Can't wait!!
You are really talented man. Great voice for voice over work, video editing and writing. I'm really looking forward to this series.
I finished Demon's Souls today, loved it. Few things did bother me though.
1. Bosses were surprisingly easy. I never died more than 3 times per boss. Also, the bosses seemed less aggressive than Dark Souls bosses, but they just had crazy amount of health. And you could just abuse the hell out of your environment (and the grass). I never raged, but then again, I never felt that feeling of achievement either. But I did like the variety in boss fights.
2. World Tendency. It fucking ruins the first playthrough, which should be the most memorable one. It's insane that you miss many NPCs and events if you play completely blind and don't know about this shit.
3. Some places were just... meh. While I loved Valley of Shit and Latria, the Storm Shrine and Stonefang were kinda disappointing. Granted, Stonefang had cool bosses and adorable bugs, but the Storm Shrine was just boring.
I do prefer Dark Souls, mainly because of it's atmosphere (isolation and the feeling of being insignificant). I liked that I was just a common person who was freed out of a prison and just tried to survive with my buddies than automatically being a brave Demon Slayer surrounded by the legends of Boletaria.
Just my opinion, though. As I said, I still loved Demon's Souls, but... I can't see myself playing it again in a while.
Dr Famine Agree with you for the most part, but man when the bosses of Demon Souls were good, they were damn good. I'll never forget that bastard False King Allant. Took me twenty plus tries to bring him down.
HiddenEcho The bosses were cool, I don't deny that. It might be that since I've played Dark Souls so much the bosses do not seem so difficult to me anymore, haha. Even Allant I beat on my third try, but man that fight was long (and intense!). I had to whack him like half an hour to beat him. And as I said, I loved how different the bosses were from each other, making each of them quite unique.
I'm actually now tempted to play Demon's Souls again. It seems that the more I'm not playing it, the more I appreciate it (especially since I'm now playing Dark Souls 2...).
I was just really upset about the world tendency thing, like... really upset. I'd still rate Demon's Souls 9/10, maybe even 10/10 as I really did love it. I didn't mean to rant or bash the game, and I apologize if it sounded like that.
Dr Famine Wow... Weird, I find World/Character Tendency to be Demon's Souls best feature
Dr Famine I just beat it a few days ago and I thought it was easy too. I think I picked it up for $5.00 when it was on sale. Now that is money well-spent!
Dr Famine I kind of agree with 1. many bosses are that bit too simple to beat but take alot of time.
2. I cannot agree, its true yes, but in dark souls you will, most certainly, miss alot of stuff on your first playthrough as well, there are some things I think I´d never knew without watching videos, like how to save solaire.
I also prefer dark souls, the atmosphere is amazing and the design is still the best of the series imo, but demons souls is in a solid second place and thats something.
actually I didnt like the design of the phantoms in demons souls.
Anyone else here coz of the ps5 reveal??
I'm so glad that you have the voice for this. I'm actually enjoying it very much and you know what? Fuck it. I'm loading up Demon's Souls.
Happy! Happy! Demon's Souls is so great and I love your lore videos so I've been so very excited for this. Nice to see you promoting videogametalkinghead, I've been watching his Demon's Souls series for a while now. Great stuff the both of you.
I want to give Demon Souls a try, but probably will never get the chance, as I don't own a PS2,3, or 4.
gwabashnuba yeah, I don't know why, I always thought Demon Souls was a PS2 game, I guess I always forget how many years the last gen spanned.
I dont think you can play demons souls on a ps 4. You need a ps3...:p
+Luckysquirrel1256
PS 3 ran from 07-now(technically still)
+johnnyscifi yep. but you can get it on psn for 20 bucks
Go to a retro game shop. They're relatively cheap, and there are SO many good older games😊
Here we go again after PS5 Stream
I fell in love with Dark Fantasy - Full Score *--*
I want to download it T.T
Maaan I love your voice and your way of treating the informations of Dark Souls. Keep going. I expect more about your Dark Souls 2 videos than Dark Souls 2 itself!!!
Demon's Souls is much deeper in terms of lore than Dark Souls.
flyer95311 No
UOR Yes.
MoreImbaThanYou no it really isnt
Dastsabre Yes it really is.
That's enough, I love them both.
Demon souls is probaly a cool game but man.. The lore seems so empty and unfinnished, I know he only has 2 videos yet but still
Dark souls has the best lore I think
Considering most info is fan interpretations and considering DeS has the most limited audience in the "series".
***** Very true, after all Demon souls started the Soul series so credits to that
thats the beauty ot it IMO, it leaves a lot up to the player
SmoughTown has done some pretty long and interesting videos on Demon's Soul's lore, the game has a lot more depth than many give it credit for.
i actually like the Lore on Demons Souls way more than the one in Dark Souls, you also have to consider that Dark Souls is a Multiplat game and because of it, it has a bigger audience and more people have been set to discover stuff from the Lore of the game, well at least EpicNameBro agrees with me... he just said in his last video that he also prefers the Lore of Demons Souls over the one in Dark Souls...
AWWWWW YESS ITS HERE ty Vaati for your awesome lore series
And now we must return to the ancient scrolls for guidance in our next journey.
Clinton Souls: Prepare to Lie
Bryant Overstreet WHOA! Too topical dude!
Damn, from time to time I come back to these Demon's Souls videos and watch them again. Will they come back?
a new video from VaatiVidya?
AAAAWW YEEEEEEAH
I wasn't prepared to cry. Damn it, Vaati.
Man, Demon Souls had some amazing vistas, the shots over boletaria are just beautiful
Now that there are no more main series Souls games coming out, I wonder if this series will gain some more ground. There's still a lot of stories to cry over in Boletaria.
A long waited remake for this game has finally arrived for PS5
What a fantastic video. Expertly setting it all for your next video. Well done, I can't wait for you next video.
one of the best content creators on youtube with some of the most positive feedback from fans.
i'm glad i subscribed to you, vaati.
one of your best videos yet
Funny thing about that quote, it was actually talking about people who don't have places of knowledge in their society, not individuals not learning history. So, those who don't learn the history of the quote, are doomed to repeat it wrong.
Good Job with the video. You have me hooked on the series already.
Amazing as always Vaati, I look forward to seeing your video every week!
Can't wait for more. Watching this made me start playing Demon's Souls again. Haven't played it since Dark Souls came out.
i love your work vaatividya i cant wait for dark souls 2 to come out and see your darks souls 2 lore and prepare to cry
man, you have an amazing voice. it's like listening to someone that just knows everything about everything. it's on par with morgan freeman really. but I digress, amazing video, masterful storytelling and pls make more immediately.
can't wait for this I'm a huge fan of demons souls and I'm looking forward to your take on the lore
hey man stop tempting me by putting those videos coming soon you crush my dreams of seeing the next episode
Man that last line is so chilling....
Been waiting for this series to start!
Great vid Vaati! Keep them coming.
ah I would love to see a demons souls story origins remake KEKW love these.
Thanks for these Vaati! I don't own this title, but I love Dark Souls greatly. I'm really looking forward to this series.
I would love a remake of the
“Prepare to Cry: Demon Souls” Remake too ❤️
what a beautiful telling of the story!
A video about the Lore of the tower of Latria would be amazing.
Yes! I'm so excited for these! Thanks, Vaati, these are great.
Damn, now I'm all excited about Demon's Souls again! Now I have to go get another copy. Thanks,Vaati, thanks a lot.
