Welcome to the Easy Allies retrospective on the Souls series (Demon's Souls, Bloodborne, Dark Souls). Without further ado, Easy Allies brings you



The Souls Retrospective - Part I - Through the Fog

Thanks to a young director, a project that seemed doomed to fail instead leads gaming down a dark, yet rewarding new path.
CORRECTION: King's Field originally released in 1994. Our apologies.

Retrospective Part 1



The Souls Retrospective - Part II - The First Flame

Retrospective Part 2



The Souls Retrospective - Part III - Bearer of the Curse

New direction brings refinements to Dark Souls II, but meanwhile weakens past strengths.

The Souls Retrospective - Part IV - The Old Blood

Under the light of the full moon, From Software shifts their tone to bring a sickly tale of blood and beasts.

Look forward to more retrospectives going through each of the Souls games.

If you are interested, their previous retrospective looked at the Deus Ex series.

Not sure. EZA falls in this category of yeah it's games, but it's also general entertainment.

Although, wouldn't it make more sense just to make an EZA Community Thread?

There will be one. But on THE OTHER PLACE, I was allowed to make these threads as kind of a separate

thing.

Nice OT. Do you know if there is going to be a general Easy Allies thread here?

There will. Hasney will make it I think.

Not sure that this is the right place for this, or honestly if it needs a thread until Part III is out. New news / content = new thread. Community = new thread. Is this either?

Part III is up for patreons~

Also I think this should be in the gaming section? Mikey Jr.

Yeah, I dun fucked up, lol.

I saw a bunch of OT's here and thought this is where it should go. In hindsight, should probably go into the main forum. Not sure how to move it now.

As soon as the new part is public, I will update my op.

Or.....

We create a new post in gaming for just part 3,and have a link to here. What do you think?

Or if someone can contact a mod and get this moved, that'd be appreciated.

I'm sure a mod would be happy to move it. I can do that if you'd like.

Bradley Ellis, excellent job on this series! You are doing the GT Retrospective legacy proud. Can't wait for Bloodborne! It is my favorite in the series, and my favorite game of all-time (*cough cough* besides Final Fantasy Tactics).

Yea this is a great easy to digest version of the souls videos. Easy Allies have been nailing it lately IMO.
