One of the big things with warrior casting will probably be if weapon buff spells (and items) are ambidextrous. Or something like weapon buffs not working unless you are trying to apply it to a right hand slot weapon.
my main issue was always keeping a light shield in my offhand alternate slot because the one thing you can't do with a catalyst is parry

Also assuming there are no Pyromancy flames, I guess we won't be asking "Why do I need to equip a torch for light or to scare leeches off me? I have a MAGIC FIRE HAND!" this time around when it comes to item juggling.

I always had my caestus in my offhand while doing caestus runs so that I could parry with it. and then hold the button to dual wield it back into my main hand

hey here's a question for you guys, i don't have any immediate friends who are into the whole dark souls oeuvre so when i'm asked about it i've been describing the game as "gothic breath of the wild" but then one friend asked "oh can you climb up everything?" and i legitimately didn't know the answer. is that something? or is it just the jump geysers you can ride into on a horse?

No climbing system, though I think you can jank climb up slopes you aren't supposed to climb by running against them at an angle and jumping.

What other open world games had absolute climbing? I.e., go anywhere you want. Breath of the Wild, Assassin's Creed Origins/Odyssey/Valhalla, Spider-Man, Genshin, Horizon? Maybe there's a ton of them that I never played

Ghost of Tsushima had a grappling hook but you were still cut off from some spots and couldn't climb every mountain

Horizon had limited and 2 has more open but still limited to particular climb zones.

bloodborne was my first soulslike, and i live in tokyo so i was playing it in my second language, not knowing what the gently caress was going on, and when i beat cleric beast i went completely apeshit, i think i was on my feet for like 3 mins straight. hell yeah gamer.

Can we take a second to appreciate that From Software are absolute bros and the game is going to launch globally at the same time?

Unfortunately, that happens to be the middle of the night here - but what's even worse, I'll be on my way home from a trip that has been a long time in the making and I didn't anticipate the launch hour then. A grave mistake. I won't be able to play until later in the day. No getting up at 3 am with hollowed eyes in the darkness in front of the screen.

Oh poo poo I thought you meant it’ll release globally at the same like…galactic time, not that those peoples of the Oceanics will be playing the game like a day before the rest of the world. Must stay away from Twitch and YouTube and twitter and essentially the internet on Thursday then.

It's actually really confusing, Steam itself is giving contradictory dates. :v: Also, I'm not sure Steam can actually do staggered-by-time-zone releases like the consoles apparently are.

Oh hell naw if it's the general Steam release time it'll practically be Friday evening for me, that is a completely unacceptable additional amount of waiting. :negative:

I hate that poo poo to be honest. Unlike with DS3 where they released midnight at God's timezone (CET) they chose some American timezone so I'll have to wait until noon at least (It launches in the early morning here but I have to wfh AND I have a 3 year old at home). At least choose some Japanese/Australian timezone Fromsoft such that most of us get to play earlier.

Steam can absolutely do releases based on local time. This is something that has happened a lot before, and people often use VPNs to unlock their games early.
