15 Years Later, the Most Influential RPG of the Century Still Feels Original

'Demon's Souls' kicked off the Soulslike subgenre, but even the original game remains a fascinatingly unorthodox RPG all these years later.

Oh so I'm not the only one that's like "fuck it, we ball" when you should definitely have a strategy or something. Or, like. Update your weapons.

Because I didn't beat Horizon and Horizon Forbidden West without levelling my bow. Like, never. Not even once. And they're not difficult games, right? Not as difficult as Soulslike and such at least, imo. But boy if doing 15hp damage at a boss with 12k hp isn't at least challenging lol

Just a few more hours

Bone marrow knifes or whatever they're called in eng in Bloodborne lol

I think I've never used one once, not even against the sharks yep, those sharks

Now I want it

In the Ambush Sim AU, the concept of Touya as a student is really entertaining to me.

Because you know somebody in his class was shitty enough to pick on the disfigured new kid. Only Touya, being the endearing unhinged mess that he is, he's just gonna be a menace right back.

...

First day:

Some kid: *completely unprovoked* Your dad has gotta be the most lame hero on the roster.

Fuyumi: *facepalms, knowing what's coming*

Touya: *violently slides chair over to wannabe bully's desk, plonks his head down on his hands, and grins like a madman way too close to their face* Tell me more! I have no idea who you are, but do you wanna be my friend?

Takes the bully most of the day to lose him.

...

Lunchtime, rooftop.

Touya: Shouldn’t you be eating with your friends?

Fuyumi: They’re not my friends anymore.

Touya: Oh?

Fuyumi:  Because right now, they are graffitiing your desk.

Touya: ...

Fuyumi: I don’t need friends like that.  So it looks like it’ll be just you and me against the world for a couple years.

Touya: ...I thought the graffiti thing only happened in shoujo manga and shit.  That’s so cliché.

Fuyumi: You’re not upset?

Touya: It’s just a desk.

Fuyumi: ...you're plotting something awful, aren't you?

Touya: Is it really 'awful' if it's deserved?

...

Grandma Himura: Welcome home, you two. How did the first day of class go?

Fuyumi: He already has a reputation. And you're probably going to be getting a call from the principal.

Grandma Himura: *not even fazed* What did you do, dear?

Touya: *grinning* I won.

...

Shouto: Were you bullied in high school?

Touya: *look of disbelief* I was a tall, gawky kid with horrific facial scarring and I was a year older than everyone else.  Take a guess.

Fuyumi: It lasted maybe a day. He became known as the kid you didn't mess with real fast, among other things. *turns to Touya* I am still shocked they let you graduate.

Touya:  *smiling*  Good times.

Lmao I just wanna see Dabi interacting with Natsuo like a normal sibling because like let's be honest this man have dodged death way too many times to die now, he's basically immortal atp.

Natsuo : I'm having girls problem

Touya, through the pod : oh shit, like 'I have a girl's body in my truck' problem or 'why doesn't she like me' problem?

Natsuo : ..why doesn't she like me, problem.

Touya : damn, would have given you a few numbers for the first one.
