| that rhino ambush thing looks crazy. i hope this game is a bit faster-paced like that. |

Players can leave notes and messages for one another warning of tough spots up ahead, and can also recruit the phantoms of players that have died to help them handle challenges. Kajii says this system of strangers helping strangers came from a real-life experience of his, a time when his car was stuck on a snowy mountainside.
Numerous stranded drivers all banded together to push each of the cars in turn, but Kajji couldn't stay behind to thank his benefactors, lest he end up stranded again. "I wondered about things like whether the last person made it home, whether I'd ever meet the people who helped me again... Maybe if I'd met them somewhere else, I would've made friends with them... Many thoughts crossed my mind," he said. "This occurrence of helping complete strangers was strangely very memorable, and I kept thinking about it for a very long time.
"Demon's Souls is a game where you die many times, so I thought this idea of helping others would be a great fit. It's as simple as, ‘We all die so easily, so let's help each other out,'" he adds. "Unlike other RPGs, each player unfolds their own story, and each encounter with a phantom player expands and diversifies their experience." |
i think that's a pretty cogent explanation of the unique appeal of ds's online experience
i don't think the addition of a narratively integrated arena or friends mode would necessarily destroy that though |

i started a new game for the first time in a while yesterday and was struck by the ridiculousness of these guys just crouching there waiting for me to make sure they're done firing an arrow directly into my shield before i stab them |

| - 4Gamer also quizzed the director on whether being a fully seamless world, that Dark Souls would be an open world game like Oblivion. Miyazaki says that the style of the game is very different from Oblivion, and it won't be the sort of open filler exploration world. Instead the concept is to create fully integrated dungeons and to link them to each other in a seamless way. In other words, it will be no different from how Demon's Souls have various stages and parts of stages, but this time they will all be connection seamlessly instead. |

this is the only thing i was worried about - it'd really kill the mood to have some lifeless hyrule field thing in there. so cool. |

| i don't think projectiles ever really penetrate walls, do they? i mean they do visually which is a little unsettling but it doesn't break the game. |
