Yes, I believe the demo will be behind closed doors (as usual).
That's nice to know that the community idols are getting treated well. Hopefully they'll provide some useful impressions, as you say.
Thanks. I see you fighting the good fight a lot in the Souls threads and I figured sometimes it's worth stepping in.
Hmm... It seems to be a giant-sized humanoid wearing a crown. If that equates to "a giant lord" to you, then I can argue no more We don't know that it's "faceless", though.
Bonfires in Dark Souls are supposedly made from bones of the undead. Dunno if that helps your theorising, but I don't know where you got that initial idea from.
Haha, I was kidding with the second part , but they went out their way to show his head and the void under his hood/armour in the trailer.
Whatever it is, I hope we fight it and that it's not as dull a fight as the Giant Lord itself was
