So no character creation…..

[Mr Jt (Gog is king)]

How you feel about that? Will there be enough agency so we can roleplay? Are they blank Slates?

If the premade storylines and arcs are good, then I don't mind. If they don't exist or they're extremely minimal, then the choice of removing the character creator will be very confusing...

From all i've read here are the key things:
- Will have personal stories to uncover
- Will have some gameplay progeression of sorts
- Will be static looking unless you use murk to buy alternate looks (is not a IRL money currency)
- You will not be able to control level ups and they are preset based on the character. (this could also be optional possibly)

You like to create a character? i always use random

I doubt they will have names or something like that but still the attachment feeling wont be that big because of cc is missing and thats usually the Core Factor of FromSoftware games

I wouldn't call it THE core factor, but a core factor for sure. A souls game is built up of numerous of these core aspects. And these can be played with to a degree that way they can make more distinct experiences whilst it still feels like it has their signature.

Take Sekiro for example.

Ya, I like to create a character myself. This doesn't look like a souls game and may not even have invasions. This isn't looking good to me. This wont be a day 1 buy. I was hoping it was more Elden Ring dlc.... It will probably do well they want to cash in on the casuals I guess.

It's not PvP at all. It's purely solo or 3 player coop.
It a spinoff game.

Would have loved to try the game if the characters we play as was actually the NPCs from the games. That would have been awesome.

Honestly kind of a fun idea, but then again they are iconic for their quest taking place in the games they hail from and this isn't exactly built to fit them. These new characters are probably made to blend in more naturally.

Worked for Vermintide, so why not here?

seems more of a roguelike then an rpg, so im not expecting much in the rpg department

From what I understand it's like if you mixed a battle Royale. As in you have limited time and shadow of the colossus ad in its just boss runs. How long can you do it before it gets boring I guess
