It is as a man once said, a quote that Astraea took to heart, "Acts of goodness are not always wise, and acts of evil are not always foolish, but regardless, we shall always strive to do good."

[cryognic_]

As much as I’m used to the OG voice actor for Garl and his calm delivery, the remake Garl sounds actually furious at the Slayer when he says “What right do you have?”, and I thought that was very appropriate.

[nonamefausti]

I really missed your lore content.. Especially the prepare to cry episodes! Thank you!

[thegamingpigeon]

I love the SoulsBorne series but god damn, it really is shocking just how fruitlessly you can play the games in their entirety, not learn a single lick about any of the lore and say "Wow, these really are great games!" but then you make the mistake of delving into the lore and in doing so, not only do you see the games for the masterpieces that they are, you also get depressed because the lore itself is just so damn depressing.

[TonyRedgrave]

Side topic, I really like how the remake had Garl Vinland sitting under some corpses during the cutscene. It shows just how long the two of them had been there, how long it had been since someone threatened them, and just how far him and the Saint had fallen.

[marvcollins]

Miyazaki really likes the idea of putting priestesses in dark caves underground, huh?

[georgehouliaras]

Garl Vinland was the original badass knight. Before Artorias, Sir Alonne, Raime, Gael etc etc. There was Garl, never forget him for he was a true hero who sacrificed everything for his beloved and stayed true to her even after she became a demon.

[graemepuryear]

It is believed by some that Vinland stood by Astraea because he loved her. After all, he had been down with her for years at a time and it is a little odd he calls her "dearest Astraea" just food for thought.
Edit: Also the word choice of "Our Haven" feels like they're both on equal footing, rather than a typical "knight and his maiden" relationship often seen. Could just be they're united by common cause, but probably worth debate. I think about this boss more than any other in all of the Soulsborne franchise.

The quality is excellent. I'd love to see Lady Maria's Prepare to Cry with this level of quality.

I can only imagine how the massive shortage of the ps5 hurt this game's sales.

[afruitypunchy]

"So ask yourself, slayer of demons, do the ends justify the means?"

I just want that healing spell. If only there is a way to trade her demon soul with something.

[lostfan]

The audible sample of Mythos sounds like Frampt talking about Gwyn.

[voridius]

what I find most interesting is how astraea kept her human form while all the other bosses are malformed and changed to resemble demons

[afriendofjamis]

3:39 you know EXACTLY what you're doing Vaati.

[marvinbanchee]

I feel like Vaati could cover actual myths (Greek, Norse, etc...) as i feel they fit this format well

[Serocco]

Plot twist: Vaati is working on Elden Ring in secret

[zeues]

"She is at once the most impure demon of them all, but also closer to God than any Saint before her" my whole body shock at this point. So good.

[idrissb]

I realised that i love the souls series in big part because of you vaati. I only played ds3, yet i know all the little and big stories of all souls games through your beautiful work. I wanted to sincerely thank u for that even if this comment is never read by you. Thank you for explaining the wondrous and deadly world of souls to us all

[Akiros]

"Take your precious demon soul" until i heard that words i thought i was the good guy after that i couldnt take away that unseasy feeling....
