Celebrating Everything FromSoftware | Episode 2 - An Era of Discovery

Episode 2 In this episode we follow the creation of the flagship Armored Core franchise. During these formative years, experimentation begins to bear fruit. In this video series we will explore each and every game FromSoftware has ever made. Retrospective. Review. Commentary. Whatever you wish to call it, this will be an in depth dive into everything the Western world knows about FromSoftware. As I am only one man, with but one short year to get through these games, I will surely miss something. When I do, please, inform me in the comments. There is so much obfuscation when it comes to pre-Demon Souls FromSoftware, that not a lot of information got out of Japan. Doesn't help that most of the fans are of the age where they are no longer part of the online community.
