i really think miriel is one of the best fromsoft designs of all time. it’s like going for a dunk when you’re already up 30. they put a pope hat on a turtle and made him talk like a kind old man. nobody has ever done it better
The progression of every Souls dungeon is:
1) meet a coy npc scholar who’s really into slugs
2) start seeing sluglike dudes in top hats
3) slug themed dungeon with a lot of slug statues
4) straight up fighting big slug people now
5) Boss Fight: Glipnir, Mother Of The First Slug
Every movie today is just going over to the rich kid’s house and having him scream: “LOOK AT ALL THESE GUYS I GOT! REMEMBER THIS GUY FROM 20 YEARS AGO? NOW HE’S FIGHTING THAT GUY FROM THAT OTHER THING!”
