The character animation is much nicer. Nice cloth movement too :) Primary heal effect is now a slow HoT instead of the insta-heal of the Estus Flask. That changes a lot of gameplay, for the better in my opinion. So excite.
I'm curious how the increased amount of healing items will affect the gameplay. In the beta, healing stones had a very high drop rate. By the end of the session I had a really big supply of them in my equipment. While the game itself didn't feel any easier due to HoT effect, I do wonder what impact they would have over…

The main struggle…
Alright so I finally got it and put in 9 hours so far. My thoughts are: So basically it's definitely has a ton of improvements from the combat to convenience like bonfire warping and items that recharge magic. Plus summoning is so quick and easy now that it's back to dedicated. Story wise it's so so. The bosses and…
