Same here. Also wondering if summoning a helper NPC will also summon Bell Maidens.
you have the answer to how to get the bell already in the text and still ask for it ?it was already mentioned you get the bell BY JOINING THE COVENANT…. jeez -.-‘also its “old” News already that you get a new item in the hunters dream later on to join the dlc area….
I think you won’t need to summon a new NPC to reach the new areas, you’ll only need the new item that appears in the Hunter’s Dream
I wanted to ask how to get the new bell and about “Old Hunters locations”? We need to summon an NPC to get to the Old Hunter areas or will there a straight forward door/lift/way to get to these areas?
NPC summons, you mean? Previously, only Gascoigne and Alfred could be summoned (for Cleric Beast and Blood-Starved Beast, respectively). Now there are more if you have joined the League. Summoning the new ones requires a new, special bell obtained by joining the covenant.
Can someone please explain this?
I did not know that either.
It’s pretty common since ever. A lot of Capcom’s games never had Japanese dub.
I would assume those clips were from NG+ for demonstration purposes. It’d be a tad disappointing if you went into NG+ and couldn’t summon anything because you weren’t at the woods yet.
Yeah, after a little while of playing, I figured out that they were using pig Latin. I’ve heard it before and know what pig Latin is, so I caught on quickly.
Hang on, I’m confused by the video. Surely you need to kill vicar Amelia first to get to the Forbidden Woods and then join the covenant to get the rune in order to summon special hunters, but they then show a clip where the chap has the special bell and summons a hunter in Cathedral Ward. So is it in NG+ or can we summon in Cathedral Ward when the boss in killed, or maybe they’ve changed things up…
Is it bad that I see Vaartor (or whatever his name will be), and I just think “Gee, what will I get for killing him?”
That’s crazy. I never picked up that it was Pig Latin they were using. I always just assumed it was gibberish. Ugh, I feel like I have to go back now and play again to hear what I missed.
Wow. That is something interesting to know about the FROM games. Thinking about it, there are a few American made games that use other languages to add some atmosphere to the world, like Rayman Legends which used Pig Latin (not an official language I know, but still).
Didn’t give too much away except for the League itself, which I won’t be joining. Co-op? Meh! Just means more blood dregs for me and more parties to gate-crash!
Its kinda funny that Bloodborne had a german dub from the beginning but no japanese.
A Japanese dub on an English game that’s actually Japanese?
Interesting.
Nice having an in house translator!
As TSMP said, all previous souls games have been voiced in English only. I believe there were two reasons for the English dialogue
- Budget: Doing voices in English only makes international releases much easier2. Atmosphere: Phrases and such sound more mysterious if said in a foreigner language, particularly if the game is medieval or inspired by England or foreigner concepts.
The voice acting for Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 2, and Bloodborne were always in English, but the subs were in the local languages.
Wait wait wait wait wait, so you’re telling me, that Bloodborne, a Japanese made video game, was originally not made with Japanese vocal dialogue. I always thought that Japanese was the first language the game was made in and that the Western versions were just translated from the Japanese version. Are all of the Souls games like this because they take place in a European like setting?
I saw several comments calling the rune “Slow Lake” and the NPC “Arthur” – I’m sticking to the JP reveals unless I see an official translation
So eager to theorize about the “Stagnation” rune as oppose to Willem’s evolution.Will only the Japanese players/owners have access to the Japanese voiceovers? I wouldnt know what they be saying but I think it was be interesting. Hopefully, this is allow others to clarify things “lost in translation”.
