You find more flask while exploring.
In DS1 you can also get 20 estus flasks
I don't think we yet know about flasks limit in this game, but in the beta alone we had more than 3(probably 5)
Honestly, I feel like it's going to be largely ignored, at least in the grand scheme of things. I wouldn't be surprised if the Giant King won't have any real connection to the DkS2 giants besides his faceholething and the crowns turn out to be, well, just crowns instead of the specific anti-hollowing crowns from the DLC.
Also calling it right now, the game will either mention Manus/The Pygmy by name or at least subtly hint at him while completely ignoring Nashandra and the all the other queens.
It works like in DS2, there's no rite of kindling, you get more flask exploring the areas.
In the beta, every character have a diferent number of flasks. If I'm not mistaken with each estus shard we can upgrade either the orange flask or the blue one (MP)

That's only the starting amount. In both Dark Souls 1 and 2 you can upgrade the amount that you can carry, and they replenish each time you rest at a bonfire.
I'm fine with that, and hopefully the limit is 13 like in DS2 as well.

But the damn stupid Vigor/Vitality/Endurance split from DS2 is back. If the Luck stat is affecting invincibility frames like ADP in DS2 people will riot.
Do enemies respawn when you rest at a bonfire?
They do.
Like everyone said, you get more. Actually in Dark Souls 1, if you kindle a bonfire once (easy to do) you get 10 flasks when resting, which is quite generous. Most of the time you'll be dead or on your way back to the bonfire before you run out. You can get 20 max if you kindle the same bonfire two more times when you get a later item. Dark Souls 2 handled flasks differently and also gave you Lifegems (regen items).
In BB though, they definitely made things a lot easier in regards to healing. The items are consumable but you can still hold 20 vials from the start. You can also use them faster than flasks, and the healing is instantaneous in comparison to Dark Souls 2. Plus vials also had a dedicated button so you won't be fumbling and scrolling through your equipped items to get to the flask when you need it.

I wonder if there will be a respawn limit in DS3 like in DS2.

Pretty sure it was confirmed that there isn't such thing this time.
Anyone against me creating a new thread with sources to all the content that is going to be going live at 8am CST?
That's when the official embargo from Bandai Namco's press event drops.
I know they'll be at least 4 Twitch streams that'll be showing up to 45 minutes of direct feed footage from the event with permission.
Some holding back certain spoilers, others not so much.

The healing system in Dark Souls and Bloodborne kinda work differently.
In Bloodborne it's based off of consumables that you can buy or farm of enemies, while in Dark Souls you have a limited number of heals, when you rest at a bonfire this number is restored basically.
You can also find upgrades to increase the number of held flasks and also the amount of health each flask heals.
Also not to forget you can kindle bonfires to increase the amount of flasks you have each time you rest at that particular bonfire.

Please do so!
We need a "hub" for that stuff. There will be countless media outlets that just wait for the embargo to lift.People who don't want to spoil themselves just need to stay out of that thread.

I've got one ready to go, I'll put it live an hour before the embargo lifts.

They should get Outside Xbox to do a week's worth of videos like this to demo the Xbone version. Two of my favourite YouTube channels.
this has been taken down, is there a mirror?
I have all three pre-ordered. April is the best month for releases in awhile.

New screenshots from videogamer (mild spoilers ahead, glimpses of a new area). I don't think they're on their site yet.

I realized that I have no will power to hold out on spoilers and since the japanese version is coming out so much sooner than other territories I went ahead and preordered the japanese version.
I took the next two days off from work and I'm gonna be livestreaming the entire thing for those who want to see. Only problem is I can't read japanese

They're two of my favorites as well. Especially the first one. Is it just me or does the one image look like there may be a ducking dodge mechanic? Looks as if he's ducking purposefully under that red cloaked knights spear thrust. I would embed the shot but I'm on mobile.
You mean this one?
we have seen this in like a 2/3 weeks old video
it's like a BB's side dodge exclusive to some daggers as a weapon art and it consumes both stamina and MP.

Yup that's the one I meant. I didn't see that a few weeks back with the weapon arts been trying to not spoil too much since De Dk Souls and Bloodborne are my favorite games couldn't help myself today though lol. That's pretty sweet it def seems like it could make playing dagger rogue types somewhat more fun.
I'm wondering if this pic might be a glimpse of the
desert city
I don't remember much from the leak
but man a
desert city

This is first time seeing this image and it's amazing. Was gonna go the Japanese route but since it's my favorite series and releases state side on my bday I'm gonna be patient and give myself a little extra something to look forward to this year for it. Makes me feel like a kid again when you really couldn't wait for bday gifts when there was something you really wanted badly.As long as this exists in the game,this game is GOTY already

Yes and no- You'll get more and you can upgrade your flask so it heals more and then there's life gems that gradually restore HP slowly over time- so you can buy those as much as you want, pop'em and then use the flask for bigger heals. Also you can skew towards cleric and get heal spells basically you won't be short on healing items.
