Ringed knights

Well, what is it?

Реюз ассетов или бреинфак от Хидетаки?

И так? люди поигравшие в демку (онли Япония) спешат сообщить народу о своих находках. Пост собран с разных постов на реддите в переводе с Японского на английский...

Here's the full list of things that have come out of the JP demo loading screens and q&as:

+ "Faran's Undead Legion/the Abyss Watchers 'divided the blood of the wolf'"
+ "Ludleth of Courland (the short legless king guy) is a merchant who will give spells/weapons in response to certain items"
+ "If Hawkwood's weapon is the Bastard Sword, Lunge is the Bastard Sword weapon art too."
+ "Knight in the network test [I assume the red capes] is NOT the elite/black knight, it's a lower-class knight."
+ "Knight class's shield had a weapon art in the network test, in the new version it parries"
+ "No dual wield like DS2" [I assume this means power stancing is out]
+ "Someone beat Iudex Gundyr in 30 seconds and the staff went 'wtf'"
+ "maybe luck=pyromancy"
+ "Battle Axe: 80 durability, 5 attacks = 1 durability point"
+ "You can choose to spend estus flask shards on either the blue or the orange estus"
+ "Rolling is DS2-style: more equip load = shorter roll distance, after certain point it turns fatroll"
+ "The fat ice knight is Borudo of the Frigid Valley"

The Mad King still lives inside and when the King awakens, 
it emits the power to protect the master.
Though the King could be whimsical. 

Raising its hands up in the air, the giant is shouting towards the ceiling.
Seems it's calling someone far up in the sky.

If trusting his words, the knight has become a hollow who has lost his memory. 
The knight seems to continue his journey in order to gain back his forgotten memory.

Many things have sunken, but at the same time, many have arose.

The withered sword, which was sealed by the Gods in the past, seems to have regained its past appearance.

As it sinks into the darkness, black crystals that appear on its body fly into the air. 
At last, the dragon may be consumed by the darkness…

Corpses have grown under the creature, as it raises it's head to the red sky, looking down upon the angels. 
Its name is Stone-humped Hag.

Covered by overly grown bacillus, she is holding a half cracked shell. 
Her name is Filianore - her sleep is meant for the sake of others.
