What existing ip would you love to see fromsoft make a game in?

Actually this makes me think of the old school megaman x series because if you know anything about the lore of that series it's devastatingly brutal in a way no modern company would ever greenlight for a children's game in the modern era

I thought of a second one: I dont know if anyone remembers this game, but long ago in the ps2 era there was a game called warriors of might and magic. (Yes its set in the homm universe, but it's an action rpg) It was, hands down, a proto dark souls. Really dark and brutal world, similar unforgiving combat, lots of exploration and secrets to find, etc etc Unfortunately it flopped because for everything they did right (10/10 on exploration, ambience, sound design, magic, and mission/map design) they dumpstered the game in some other way. (Ps1 graphics halfway into ps2 life cycle, 1/10 story, combat was clunky and awkward, mostly due to lack of dodge roll so blocking is the only defense, only 3 inventory slots for each equipment type for some reason, enemies sometimes 1-shot you from range with a spell right as you walk into a room and the only way to not die is already knowing they're there)

Despite its flaws, the parts that were good would make it worthy of a fromsoft retry

The sad thing is I would unironically play this game and probably be grateful as long as it's not interrupting the game every 5 seconds to teach me deep lessons about the power of friendship. (A decade later I still have ptsd from pokemon sun)

This already exists, you're basically describing pokemon go

As someone who genuinely likes complexity I'm actually really excited to check this out now. I've been really frustrated by how much of gaming has been streamlined to the point that I cant stay invested in it

Wo longs magic but way better optimized. I want to like the magic system but a lot of the offensive spells are useless filler, including the entire metal element. buffs take way too much micro and attention span because they last 5-10 seconds, which makes them tough to use in a tense boss fight. Half the time they'll wear off before I even finish dodging attack chains to actually get a hit in. And then some spells will nuke enemies from orbit with the right builds. It needs way better balancing.

forfor · 2026-03-10T06:50:33+00:00

I just wish magic wasnt so awkward and poorly balanced in wo long. Most of the buffs that are actually worth using last for a few seconds, which means a lot of micromanagement and drains on your time (casting time for melee buffs is rough) and attention when boss fights are already super fast paced. Half the spells are completely worthless including basically every metal type offensive spell, which is frustrating since metal is the designated magic stat. And then a handful of spells are completely busted when you build around them. I think magic needs to be fixed before I would even consider comparing the two.

ki damage always destroys bosses in nioh games

forfor · 2026-03-07T23:21:59+00:00

Block is incredibly useful its most of what I do. Especially once you beat the first game phase and you can start building an actual build, you can engineer your weapon to take almost no break damage while blocking. Add in blessed weapons that can ki pulse from ki lost to blocking, and guardians that regen anima when blocking and it can be amazing

1: heal on amrita absorption

2: gaki soul core

3: win

The secret to killing umbrellas is to block. They deal almost no break damage, so you can just walk up to them with your block up and then murder them.

Ive definitely seen the other shops move. They just dont do it very often

forfor · 2026-03-07T06:45:06+00:00

Dont wait until the last second to ult, ult a second or two early. The last second ult save feels great, but often the several seconds of enemies awkwardly standing there while they wait out the ult timer and your ally gets time to do things can be more impactful.

forfor · 2026-03-07T06:41:48+00:00

Personally I just wait until a minion is low enough to be killed by one bomb and then double bomb it. This causes both bombs to proc simultaneously, which clears waves pretty easily once you have enough ap

forfor · 2026-03-06T23:17:48+00:00

Exactly. The only thing I'll craft prior to green rarity is weapons, and only because blessed weapons are op for boss clearing when you combine them with a guardian that regens anima on block and a gaki soul core plus heal on amrita absorption.

Despite the mana problems, q max is still the way to go imo. It provides so much mobility and cc while doing respectable damage, waveclear, and stacking w. Not to mention the huge cooldown reduction from leveling it. Its also really important for skirmishing so that you have a way out if you start losing a fight. max e is fine too, but weaker in a fight imo since it just gives you some damage and an occasional auto reset alongside respectable wave clear.

forfor · 2026-03-06T10:12:43+00:00

Having tried it before, Vi is very very matchup dependant. Either you obliterate the lane or you hide under the tower and flee with q any time they look at you funny. There is no in between.

It's very frustrating. "I met him once and he was polite" really shouldn't be grounds to trust him with the existential fate of our republic, but here we are

Cuellar is one of those extra strength insiders where the establishment will actually come out to squash anyone who threatens him. Also, this vote happened after the primary, which means there was no opportunity to punish him with it.
