So I have been rather active in this subreddit, not really actively participating but scouring and I saw the post about how PB0 has this massive lore already built into it, not that they would go and copy the lore 1 for 1 but I do hope that they at least introduce the zero form. I just think it's cool for an action game to have transformations or massive power ups, e.g. Oni Form in Onimusha and Ifrit in FFXVI. So I wanted to share my thoughts on how I probably want them to tackle this Zero Form.

-Entering Zero Form drains you of your Sha-chi, practically making you a glass cannon. Where you dish out high damage Parry/dodge window becomes easier(kinda like Issen) but the moment that you get hit, you get massively punished, balancing it out.

-Since, we have seen Mo Yuan with red eyes in previous trailers, I therefore associated it with the Zero Form. As for visuals, an entire red screen and a change in music to depict the form would be cool kinda like how GOT/GOY does ghost stance but not really, since the screen only goes red during kills.

-The Zero Form is learned once you finish all your encounters with Mo Yuan.

-Zuo Shang can enter the zero form as well, going band for band with soul in an epic climax.

Yeah that's probably all my thoughts about the zero form. I hope it makes an appearance

1. For each map, the numbers of bells, weapons, Phantom Arms, challenge locations, Black Stones, Killing Intent Ambers, and Life Flowers are all tracked, and each map itself also shows a completion percentage.
2. Red lines appear near bells as hints.
3. Locations that require items or Phantom Arms to progress are marked on the map.
4. Side quests are shown on the map, and important side quests have a dedicated marker.
5. Collected letters also indicate which one it is and how many you have missed.
6. Some items also have 3D surround-sound cues.

What do you think about this mechanic? I thought incredible, the action never stops

Torn between where to buy the game, don’t want to deal with constant optimisation on my gaming laptop cuz it’s an unreal engine 5 game and I want to play on my 4k monitor, where would I have a more enjoyable experience ps5 pro or my asus zephyrus g14 5080(120watt)

There is a scence in pre-order trailer months ago. After seeing this, i think the story will have some touching and emotional moments, i can see if they can nail it, there will be a really potential story.
And i do hope Soul can be a deep-complex innerself and compassionate person. Because after all it will be memorable in my heart.
So, what you guys think ?

P/s: The music background "emin feat. jony - камин "

based on the trailers, there's this sword that you can throw that spins in place and emits a blue light which is what i'm most looking forward to. the long sword in the newest boss trailer looks dope too.

When I first saw this I thought the sword just awkwardly sat on his back but it seems it’s being held there by the same telekinetic energy soul uses to make it ranged. Pretty neat.

I’ve heard the interviews with the developer that says this game is not a soulsbourne. But do we think he actually means that? I’m nervous about getting my hopes up for a game that has potential to have the best combat in a long time, but I will not be able to enjoy it because of the intense difficulty.

Basically what the titles says.

I've been curious about this since I did watch some videos of Eight Immortals Drunken Swordplay being performed and it..........kinda resembles his style of swordplay, but the way he fights does look differently in other areas. To any experts who know of other styles of drunken swordplay, can you please tell me which one his moveset resembles or if it's a completely original fighting style invented for this game?

Was there any review on phantom blade zero performance on base ps5 should we worry abt frame drops and stuttering

Im intrigued to know how side quests works, I read that the purple ones are the ones that has a chance for consequences in the plot, I hope that they won't over complicate it to a point where there's no coming back and ur stuck with a different ending then the cannon one.

I have literally not seen better fluid animations that work in every scene at this graphical fidelity in a game that is releasing now. This game has my respect and is worthy of a pre-order, not to mention the showcase of all those mechanics and variety; my body is ready!

I wanted to thank u/BalboaZhao for sending me this link when answering my question and I wanted to share the information it has

Note: I use the translation feature in Safari if the translation is off I apologize please correct it

The hype is so real... so I couldn't resist but to make an illustration of Soul!

Especially since this was made for a friend of mine, and he is one of the gamers that I know are MOST hyped to play this as soon as it drops...

I hope you guys like it as well!

So it confirmed this game has multiple endings in your opinion/theory how do you think multiple endings will work in this game will it be like Sekiro where when you get a ending in the play-through your stuck with that ending and if you want to get another you have do a whole new play-through or will it be like black myth wukong where you can get both endings in a single playthrough I’m leaning toward Sekiro system as I feel the game will have more than two endings and if you want another ending you do a whole other play-through ?

In many games, resting at a bonfire replenishes resources and respawns enemies. So while bonfires provide supplies, they come with a trade-off: enemies return. This encourages players to learn map routes, maintains level tension, and heightens the sense of accomplishment when they defeat a boss and reach a safe resting point. It also creates a risk-reward loop: players must decide when to rest, because healing also means the level will be repopulated.
