What do you like about it?

I love Firelink Shrine from DS1, but sometimes I have the feeling that it's not a 100% hub... I don't know, maybe it's because it's too small or because you can level up in any bonfire,and the few excuses you have to come back is to advance NPCs quests or upgrade the flame of pyromancy. I dunno...

Majula is perfect because it wants to welcome you as a home for you to rest from your trip. Thanks to the atmosphere, music, NPCs... And you have an adorable CAT to talk, C'MON! XD

i think thats the exact reason firelink is the hub area that worked best of the series. in majula most of the time you dont want to return, youre just forced to because you need to level up while in ds1 firelink shrine is the only place that truly feels safe and every road leads back there so youre not forced to come there, youre just welcomed back whenever youre done with a journey

DS1 is filled with empty spaces, where nobody invades(as it implying ds1 remaster isnt half dead) and there a zero enemies , or 1-2 on whole long empty hallway.
As Anor Londo first bonfire - one minute of running without enemies and another minute, against gargoyle which dissapear after one death. Or Lost Isalith hallways. Or beach walk to the Dragon covenant.
More of that, Firelink Shrine bonfire also can fade away, and there is multiple NPC to accidently hit and aggo them.

I would compare Firelink Shrine as living under the bridge while been homeless. Not completely safe, multiple weird strangers with malicious intends, unconsistant bonfire and multiple ways to flee.

No doubt in that, its sunny, its peaceful, warm, quite shore, everyone just relaxing there or punching porkies

Definitely tied with the DS1 Firelink Shrine. They both nailed that melancholic atmosphere that made me fall in love with FromSoft games.

Hunters Dream being a close second. HD would be my number one if it was connected with the world and had more NPC interactions.

DSIII and ER really missed the mark with what made the Hub areas such an integral and beloved part of the earlier games.

For me Hunters Dream best of all

[Xinese_Man]

Manjula y Hunter Dream are the best.

Nexus by far.
