Well you see Miyazaki-san had to play fill-in-the-blank with the old western fantasy books that he used to read and he used this experience to come up with this legendary new model of video game storytelling where basically get this he doesn't write a consistent story at all and you do all the work
>honorbound to see his duty fulfilled before going back to his daughter
>attacks you because he's lost his mind
simple as
Honorbound to send her away on a barely protected rickety chariot? To where? The other collapsed fortresses crawling with zombies?
>he's le GONE INSANE
Mitsubishi-san I kneel...
All the soldiers at every other fort are sane in Elden Ring thoughbeit. They only attack you because you're a member of a foreign, invading army.

Not really, you see some milling aimlessly staring at the wall or devouring corpses all the time, not to mention that they look like zombies, their speech is garbled nonsense, and there's multiple dialogue references to them having gone mad. I'm pretty sure Sekiro is the only one of these games where the human enemies aren't overwhelmingly lobotomite morons in-canon and even then they all look like scabby zombies because that's the only design the guy knows how to do or something
Yes I know the canonical reason is that they drank the Waters of Ashina but it's still shitty that we can't just fight normal-looking humans in any of these games
I thought the Sekiro guys were just ugly, not deformed zombies.
Nah if you look closely they all have scaly, fricked up skin. It's especially evident on the ones with no helmets and especially especially evident in the concept art. Not to mention their freakish height though that could just as much be ascribed to Wolf's unfortunate manletism
They look fine to me. And yeah, I'm pretty sure you're just a giga-manlet.
I mean this homie on the left's definitely got something going on. The bald guys too. It's usually more apparent in-game but there's a bunch of models so maybe it's inconsistent.
That's the rifleman, yeah? I think it's just supposed to be dirt or black powder on his cheek. Although you're probably thinking of the diseased variants that show up later in the game.
I think these are just normal ninja techniques and shit. Becoming a shinobi is a crazy lifestyle. Only Genichiro is known to have drank the waters.
I think most of the water in Ashina is to some degree magical, albeit diluted in proportion to how far away from the Fountainhead Palace you are. Not to mention the many references to the denizens of Ashina being demons and some of them having red eyes. All of these guys, even the normie ashigaru, have basically been brought up on a steady diet of (once again, very very diluted) Rejuvinating water. Genichiro's case is different because he drank the Sediment which is the stagnant dregs at the bottom of the waters.
>Nah if you look closely they all have scaly, fricked up skin
That's called the Dragonrot you dumb frick
Follow the conversation
Unless the game has some really good excuse, there is very little way to make normal human characters actually work as enemies, in most souls games your character is an undead abomination with soul sucking powers, your strength is Demi-god tier and completely beyond what 99% of normal humans could ever hope to endure.
Normal humans would only work as trash mobs in the tutorial area.
It doesn't have to be limited to the tutorial. Just have them be low-level enemies. You may eventually become a demigod but in the early stages of these games you're usually just some schmuck
Not to mention these settings are permeated with magic and you could think of any number of excuses for otherwise superficially normal-looking humans being able to match the PC in strength.
>literal drooling mouthbreathing zombie
>he's sane bro! Totally different from a hollow...
I'm happy about the relatively simple, clear and contained lore/story of Sekiro.
Do lorelets really?
Didn't he take the cessblood?
Everyone who's been MOHGGED has gone completely insane except Varre.
He didn't. He gives the standard "Invader Vanquished" message, not "Bloody Finger Vanquished".
So what was it then? Did he find his "daughter" and get SHIBRIRID?
frick off to LE reddit
>invades you later for literally no reason in the middle of nowhere
He fell to the Frenzy Flame. That's why he drops a Shabriro Grape.
I don't think Hyetta is a demon.
I think Hyetta is Irina in the process of becoming a new demon.
Shabriri likely died getting his eyes gouged out, but probably returned to life after inheriting the frenzied flame.
Why? Because Hyetta is not truly aware of her purpose in the beginning and only gradually understands who she is after meeting Shabriri.
The frenzied flame functions like a grace. By consuming embers of it in Shabriri grapes she obtains a vision of where to go much like grace and like grace it resurrected her like a tarnished.
