Well, I know that I loved Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne but didn't care for DS2. So I'm just curious, my b.

Dark Souls 3 Collectors and Prestige Editions

So you only like Souls game directed by Miyazaki! Nice because DS3 is directed by Miyazaki.
With the way the Canadian dollar currently is, $490 US is probably $123,456,789 CAD.
I get a feeling that's a typo. I think the price should be around 799 AED (instead of 1799 AED) which is equal to $218 US. Still don't think that figure is worth that price but if you're really into it, I guess that's not too bad?

Bloodborne and DS3 have co-directors as well.

I dunno but looks like the DS2 team is on charge with Miyazaki since the Crowns idea and the OST style are still there

Still no Motoi Sakuraba confirmation.
Kitamura is okay, but she don't bring the feels the way Sakuraba does. Hoping for another Emi Evans ending song too.

You should probably play the end of Dark Souls 1 again and you might get an idea, heh. DS3 Spoiler for why that figurine would be Lord of Cinder:
There's no hollow/human change this time, but a human/lord of cinder mode. You have to be LoC to Multiplayer etc
Its weird how so many people still know nothing about so many basic DS3 story/gameplay bits, a lot of the setup is already out there on the usual youtube guys' channels, the wikis etc.

I don't think $500 USD will fly for any game edition.
Literally the only way I would ever pay that much is if a real sword made to look like the Sword of Artorias was included.
Instead of yet another statue in a collector's edition market where it's completely saturated with.
I remember when Capcom announced a rare collector's edition for Resident Evil 6 where it included a Leather Jacket to look like Leon's in the game. Problem was, the price was no joke...$1,000!
http://kotaku.com/5900944/resident-evil-6s-ridiculous-1000-collectors-edition/
Despite how obviously grossly absurdly overpriced that is, even by leather jacket standards, AT THE VERY LEAST, it wasn't yet another statute.
I'm just annoyed now at statues being the only thing most developers/publishers can come up with in collector's editions nowadays. What happened to ones like Infamous 2's backpack? Fallout 3 lunchbox? Catherine with the underwear, Pizza box and pillow case? Give me something like that. Fallout 4's Pipboy is pretty damn cool which is why I'm getting that, and I'm also getting Zero Escape 3 Watch.
Say what you want about Call of Duty games, but at least their collector's editions are freaking amazing, and not a single one of them ever cost even half of the price THIS "prestige" edition costs.

they should offer a ce without the statue here in the states
and instead of the stupid cloth map they should include a limited edition strategy guide

Kitamura did Sir Alonne though, she's damn good.
The site was taken down, but here are the images showing the two editions

Yeah, Sir Alonne and the Ruin Sentinel were pretty epic. I just think Sakuraba grabs me much more on the emotional end. I love Nameless Song and Longing plus songs such as Dark Souls' character creation theme.
Oh, and I love this whole experience with the Moonlight Butterfly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRYRb3Zozi4
Sakuraba gave that fight a sense of beauty. I don't think I could've enjoyed this fight as much without the opera.
And there is Darks Souls 2's King Vendrick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnoZG6iCbjU Dark, dreadful, and yet can't help but feel for the poor king. I feel like the song really captured this figure well.
Anyway, like I said, I think Kitamura is okay. Her choir sounds better and she makes some pretty epic songs. I'm guessing she did the Aldia theme as well. It's got a sort of different touch to it, but it's a pretty nice song.

This is the most important thing about Dark Souls III.
I've gone dark on all details and videos. I checked out this thread because I wanted to see if getting it was worth it, and seeing a dude named "Lord of Cinder" was way to interesting to not ask.
No, though it's possible we'll see Gwyn again. I really hope we do.

TIL Dark Souls I and II were composed by Motoi Sakuraba.
waaaaat
waaaaat
Don't forget Valley of Defilement in Demon's.
Worse than anything in DS1 or 2
except the Frigid Outskirts.
Never played Demons Soul. But cool that they had something there too.

Again, Dark Souls II had a cloth map as well.
Such a thing offers no insight into the world design. However judging from the network test it does seem like a very intertwined world. At worst it might be like Bloodborne with only a few surprising shortcuts but I expect it to be similar to Dark Souls 1's structure.
Oh, didn't know that.

"Have fun dealing with a level that mainly consists of poison rain and a poisonous ocean. Hope you stocked up on Royal Lotus'. Oh you think you wouldn't have to fight here well tough shit we got poise breaking giant club wielding enemies! And Guess what you can't roll while in water! and the shortcut is on the other side of the level." Fuck 5-2.

Just want to say I remember reading that the world should be interconnected like dark souls and Bloodborne. Too lazy since I am on mobile to find the source.

All I want is the steelbook. I hope they continue tradition of all pre-order copies being a steelbook.

99% of the figures inside collectors editions look very cheap and most serious figure collectors would never put them on display side by side with their stand alone figures and statues. If you want quality look at the Bloodborne statue ,that is a work of art and is worth every penny of its price.

Dark Souls 2 collectors edition is 24.99 at gamestop. Worth it if you want that statue http://www.gamestop.com/xbox-360/games/dark-souls-ii-collectors-edition/112003
I believe that the editions of dark souls 3 will be at this price at some point.

heh, wow. I mean statues are cool for the people that want them. I just wish more CE video games stuck to the blizzard route with cool packaging, a behind the scenes dvd, a soundtrack, artbook and maybe a map or something. There's obviously a market for these statues I just don't know how heavily it overlaps with the people that just want a special edition of a game.

Verticality is extremely hard to map. And this game looks plenty vertical.
