Wow this game is pretty good. In prison of hope now and it's kinda spooky. Does the remake retain that?

...Eh? It's hit and miss. On one hand the game looks a lot better but the design changes and music changes make it feel more like a generic fantasy setting than a purely unique thing.

The remake is alright. Bad design decisions on many cases and it's overpriced right now.

The remake got a 90% on the moist meter, so yeah, pretty good

latria is awesome in remake

If you're playing the original, there's no reason to play the remake period.

Me want new game

Latria is one of the better handled remake areas since the lighting is more dismal and they don't keep to a monochromatic palette as hard as they do in other areas.

Plus the camera doesn't fucking sperg out in tight corridors like it did in the original. Overall I felt that the remake was a tangible step down in terms of direction, though.

Farm dreglings for crescent moon grass or blue eyed knights for half moon grass. Fat officials also drop grass a lot IIRC.

Easiest way to farm grass is either spawning at tower knight archstone and killing the two blue eye knights there or spawn at 4-2 ritual path/adjudicator archstone, kill the reaper right after the spawn, and use the souls to buy items and grass from Graverobber Blige if you freed him from 4-1.

There's two grass vendors in Shrine of Storms, one of whom moves to Nexus outright, and that one sells their crap for cheap.
Storms 2 and 3 disgorge souls like candy, farming sky-stingrays with the Storm Ruler or the ghosts beforehand, meaning you don't even have to "farm". Just run the area once, get 30 late moon grasses and be on your merry way.

Cringe

>Fighting the 1-1 red-eyed spear knight to farm grass
Dude, why? That's such a terrible idea.

I think the art direction in the remake sucks. Other than that it's okay.

I thought the remake was still atmospheric as fuck despite all the design changes. Were their things better in the original in terms of art direction and music choices? Of course. But the remake still retains the core elements of the original in terms of game design, level design, gameplay etc. while adding in some new things (3 or 4 new rings, one of which makes 5-2 tolerable, they buffed drop rates slightly and nerfed healing items by making them heavy to hold). It's still punishing, fun, look greats, and performs great with 60+ FPS at all times and it has an active online. Kind of hard to fault that despite the design changes.

The remake enhances it. Its an amazing remake. Should have upgraded the AI as the game is still a literal cake walk but whatevs

Red-Eye Knight is actually pretty good for farming since he drops good grass and a bunch of souls which you can use to buy cheap grass from the blacksmith in the Nexus.
Have at least 10 in your Magic stat, buy and memorize the soul arrow spell from a teacher in the Nexus, and put on the Thief Ring if you've found it.
If you spam soul arrows while backpedaling you can kill the Red-Eye Knight fairly easily; if it's too hard because you haven't found Thief Ring (it's in the area before Phalanx; you can vault over specific ledges by walking into them) you can buy and memorize the Cloak spell from the same teacher and cast it before approaching the Red-Eye Knight.
You can find a wand in a cell in the prison or on an outpost on the bridge after Phalanx.

Fat guy at the beginning of 2-2 map (archstone/teleport after the Spider boss). Go straight ahead and then left - toward exploding mine carts - and kill the fat guy at the end. Drop down (assuming the elevator is down) and commit sudoku; in soul form of course. Repeat. he drops 1 or 2 Full Moon Grass every time.
Later in the game, the best drops are on the 1-4 map.

And yes, remake is the same with these drops. The only thing Remake has (good thing, actually) is a higher chance of dropping Pure stones.

the remake is like a saturday morning cartoon, there's no spooky or moody atmosphere just the "BADASS" randy vibe, expecially in the Flamelurker stage it looks like something out of Lords of the fallen

>all those steps and a long run to the 1 red eye knight
>much faster to spawn at tower knight and kill 2 blue eye knights and reset
stop

Imagine paying seven hundred bucks to play a game that is definitively better on a retro console...

whenever anyone will talk about demon souls moving forward it will be about the remake
nobody cares about the ps3 version anymore
stay poor

>The remake is pretty good desu

That sounds like a pretty solid strat for someone who's already killed Tower Knight, yeah; however, OP just said he's killed Phalanx and is exploring the prison.
Besides, "all those steps" just boil down to "use soul arrow to cheese the red-eye knight", but I decided to be thorough to avoid having to clarify anything in additional posts.

If you werent poor you would be emulating the original with the 60fps patch

I’d rather be poor than stupid

I really dislike the redesigns but gameplay wise it's the same game
