I borrowed this game from a friend. I fucking HATED this game when i first got it. About halfway through i started liking the gameplay, and felt strong after beating a handful of bosses. After beating this game I started reading the lore and story behind the it. Now i'm in LOVE with this game, and it's one of the best games i've ever played. I'm so glad I didn't give up on this gaming experience.

@jonathanorozco6196 7 лет назад

I didn't hated it I really liked it, but had no patience at first and quit playing it for months. Then I played DS3 and got far in it. Depressed that I'm almost done with it i saw my friend play Bloodborne again. Now that I know and understand the lore way better I want back and fell in love with Bloodborne! O even got way better at it! I beat the cleric beast and Father Gascoigne on my first tries! I love From Software!

@simenfloodkvien9432 7 лет назад

What's amazing is that, in the beginning the game seems to be about killing beasts only. But after playing for a while and having put some of the pieces together, you realize that the beast-thing is only minor part of the whole story, even though it's a major theme. The way it's all built up, how the story just expands, is amazing. That's one of the main reasons I like this game more than Dark Souls. In Dark Souls, the plot is clear even before you start playing. A chosen undead shall relight the first flame, and prolong the age of fire. I know that the lore is just as deep, but it doesn't really change the plot. In Bloodborne on the other hand, you are getting a blood transfusion, and reading a letter stating that you should seek paleblood. Then you just get instructed to kill a few beast and to not think so hard about it all. But as you progress the plot changes. It goes from "just kill a few beasts" to "uncover the secret of Mensis" to "kill other gods in the name of another god". I feel like Dark Souls is fleshing out the story as you progress, but Bloodborne is evolving its plot. You don't really know the purpose og anything before killing Mergo's wet nurse.

@Jordan-sn4tw 7 лет назад

Atmosphere and lore makes game great for me I agree

@ProlificPianist 7 лет назад

I totally agree. I just can't get into Dark Souls because it was a very simple cycle of light and dark so all the drama the game talks about during the ages honestly means nothing in the big picture, so it really just doesn't interest me. That and it's the ten thousandth rehash of the Knights and Undead theme we've heard for hundreds of years now, but it is pretty intricately designed there. Bloodborne on the other hand was completely original aside from the obvious inspiration (H.P. Lovecraft) so it immediately drew my attention and I loved it to death because it was something completely new I haven't really seen before. Unlike DS, Bloodborne actually seemed to have real mystery behind your actual goal and get you to actually question the true nature of what you're doing. Am I being a hero and freeing reality from a nightmare? Or am I just being completely manipulated? Whearas in Dark Souls it's obvious: Relight the fire, save the world from darkness; nothing really to question about it. Bloodborne, to me, really felt like a story designed to give that scared and adventurous sense of awe and mystery for what really is out there hiding between the cracks of reality and dreams. Phenomenal story.

@RickyChristie 7 лет назад

You should watch Vaati's videos on Dark Souls. Dark souls was never obvious, in fact it's much more ambiguous. Is continuing the age of fire good? Is darkness bad? Nobody knows, not even Vaati. But I would agree that in Bloodborne it seems things are much clearer and less ambiguous. You can make a movie out from Bloodborne but never from Dark Souls.

@ProlificPianist 7 лет назад

Ricky Christie There isn't any active story in Dark Souls to explain. The whole game is just a walk through history and stepping over the corpses of those long passed. All Dark Souls is is a large compilation of side stories that you don't hardly have any part in. It wouldn't make for a good movie because it's about as entertaining as watching paint dry. As for the whole fire and dark part it sounds interesting at first, but it's so straightforward that it sucks all of the fun and mystery out of it. It's a never ending cycle of fire and darkness so it doesn't matter who wins, eventually they'll lose and so on for all eternity. Boring and easy to figure out

@Ronronbetter 6 лет назад

Joshua W ummm no. Did you even play the games? There are a lot of side things, but that CONTRIBUTES to the main story of the cycle. Your right about an endless cycle, but the PROBLEM that started Dark Souls was that one person wanted to have one part of the cycle last FOREVER. The last dlc of Dark Souls beautifully portrayed the cycle ending, by creating a whole new world of darkness because the “main” one was so fucked up. Just because BloodBorne interests you more doesn’t mean Dark Souls is bland, you just didn’t like it/understand it.

@BlackLegion12621 9 лет назад

Personally, I think the ending where you awake from the hunter's dream as a human is better than becoming a Great One. Because you accomplish both your original goal of curing your illness, and maintain your humanity and identity.

@xiaolinstyle 2 года назад

Except we will all cease to be human at some point when we die, so its inevitable. I think this is a topic we should explore more often. Not saying I want to murder a bunch of sick people and become a tentacle monster baby but, ya know its not unimportant.

@gamerdudepunk 2 года назад

I guess it’s all about how you played the game. Did you gain a lot of insight? Power up your character beyond belief? Enjoy your journey? Well then you become the tentacle baby. If you dreaded the nightmare, you awake anew as a human.

@Proloyable 2 года назад

Well. waking from the hunter's dream is a selfish ending in my opinion. I mean you are well and good but the ascension of humanity will never take place. on the other hand in the secret ending you helped the whole humanity to ascend to a higher being.

@calick7208 2 года назад

What are the other implications of the “Awake” ending? I assume the Moon Presence and Ghermain are still around, so will they lure other hunters to the dream to slay other Great Ones? If the Moon Presence goal is to reproduce, why does it give you the choice (through Ghermain) to leave the dream and live your life as a human?

@paisano6830 Год назад

I know it's been 7 years but that ending is actually the worst. In the second ending you wake Gehrman from his terrible nightmare, and in the third ending not only do you free him, you also kill moon presence and on top of that become a great one lifting humanity into its next childhood. This implies that you ascend not only yourself, you take everyone with you. In the awake ending you fulfill your purpose, but you neither breake the endless cycle of the nightmare nor free Gehrman.

@youaintready1006 4 года назад

You know what the craziest thing about From Software is? Miyazaki is so smart that he designed games like Bloodborne, knowing most people wouldn't take the time to understand the carefully crafted universe he had given them, but they would love the gameplay and that was enough to sell millions of copies...yet at the same time, he also predicted that players like VaatiVidya would piece together the story and end up doing lore videos for him. Genius.

@RainbowPowerRangerX 9 лет назад

Is it me, or does Bloodborne have a "happier" ending than Dark Souls? Gehrman frees you: You have ended the scourge of beasts and now are free to live your life. You take Gerhman's place: Ok, this is darker, but at least the world is safe. You become in infant Great One: Personally, I wouldn't want this regardless of the power it offers, but you have ascended and you are set to elevate humanity, should you be benevolent. In Dark Souls, there was no right ending. Just sort of finding your way through the morality of a seemingly hopeless situation. Kindling the fire seems like a good ending at first, but it's questionable just how good that is. In Bloodborne, it seems like you do actually "fix" the world, in a way. Which, I mean, I understand. They are different games, after all.

@Macder10 9 лет назад

SelfAwarePedant you dont fix the world at all in bloodborne? the hunt bloodborne takes place in is one of many. no matter which ending you pick some fool in the near future will beckon the great ones again and start the hunt anew.

@RainbowPowerRangerX 9 лет назад

Macder10 I want to note that I don't have a PS4 and thus haven't played Bloodborne. Just a fan of Dark Souls trying to become accustomed to the lore.

@Macder10 9 лет назад

SelfAwarePedant ah okay. bloodborne is like dark souls in a loop. when a hunt ends it doesnt end for good. when the old blood is used again or the old gods get awakened the hunt starts again

@MetalDrummer141 9 лет назад

Macder10 Not necessarily. It's not Dark Souls. There is no Great Never Ending Cycle that we can't break, it's literally just "Some people fucked up hard once, then other people found their fuckup and fucked up harder." Then you go and kill 3+ literal Gods. One can assume that the other Great Ones, be they new tentacle monsters or just more Amygdala's, would want to steer clear now that they know someone can kill them and pretty much transform into them There is no cycle, there is no Flame, their is nothing but a series of events in an isolated location. For all we know the rest of the world is perfectly fine, after all in the opening cutscene everything goes well until you take the blood, then you see the wolves and messengers.The Hunters Dream could quite literally be a dream inside of a dream, brought on by the players possible skepticism of the effectiveness of blood but requirement to seek it out. You literally could have just been tripping major balls the whole time

@Macder10 9 лет назад

MetalDrummer141 it IS an cycle since the great ones will have to reproduce every once and then. this will start the hunt. unless every great one is slain (which is nearly impossible) this cycle will continue forever. and about the lands around yharnam thing. how is this relevant? it is highly implied there are cities with people iving around lordran/drangleic as well. the darksign isnt a 100%. the darksign isnt even that common. around the time of dark souls 1 there are several cities which just ban undead to the asylum and keep on living.

@MANNLIERMANNCO 9 лет назад

There is a lot of evidence that suggests that Gehrman and the hunter´s workshop acted as a stealthy approach to deal with the scourge of the beasts, this can be noticed due to their black garbs and easily concealed weapons. Tough, once Gehrman´s hunters failed to contain the beasts in Old Yharnam, the church established Ludwig as the new "head hunter", so he would take a more direct approach to the beast hunt, wielding huge hammers and swords to deal with bigger and bigger beasts, because oddly enough, clerics became the most hideous of beasts.

@curtisjackson5793 3 года назад

before Ludwig and after Gehrman's time there was the powder kegs and the choir serving as the military arm of the healing church though

@wyvern876 7 лет назад

The ones besides the boss are referred to as "lesser" Amydgalas, implying that they are an inferior version to the main one, or original. There are multiple possibilities of where they could have come from: lesser beings the Amygdala transformed into it's image, bud-like clones of the original, who knows?

@Zoxan96 9 лет назад

VaatiVidya Vaati, what do you think about the Doll being a Great One? Let me explain better: the Doll gives you strenght during the game, she's obviously a very powerful figure. Consuming three Thirds of Umbilical Cord means you've consumed a whole umbilical cord of a Great One, and you're ready to become one of them. You just need a greater challenge than the usual. The Moon Presence may be a Great One, yes, but there is another one we never see during the game: Oedon, the formless Great One. Its consciousness may reside within the Doll, and that's why she allows you to level up. "Every Great One loses its child, and then yearns for a surrogate." When you defeat the Moon Presence, you become an infant Great One; the Doll takes you with her arms, caressing you, cuddling you as a mother would do.

@Zoxan96 9 лет назад

VaatiVidya There are a couple more points to prove that: Oedon is said to be formless and almost omnipresent. It is also said to be only heard, and never seen. This one might be a little stretched, but if it's omnipresent, it can easily enter a dream, even one created by another Great One, such as the Hunter's Dream. Maybe, it can even infiltrate, chosing as a host a soul-less body, an artificial being, and it may give this being a voice... It could help this inanimate object to git gud... Another hint comes with the Tear Blood Gem. "A doll sheds neither blood nor tears and thus its nature remains unknown". This, we can read in the description of the Tear Stone. However, the item you obtain from it is the "Tear BLOOD Gem". Also, we've seen through item descriptions and boss battles that the blood of a Great One is silver-like, more similar to the one of the Doll than to that of humans, or Pthumerians. How can a formless being bleed? What would its blood be like? Surely, something stranger than anything else you've seen before.

@Zoxan96 9 лет назад

Aaron Henry Yeah. Essentially, you can see how the "Coldblood" items become whiter and whiter as the descriptions start to say "Great One", "Old Great One", and so on. The message in the Unseen Village saying "Behold! A paleblood sky!" might refer to the moon (meaning="to the Great Ones"), and the Doll has the most pale, the purest blood. The Tear Blood Gem is the perfect healing item: it slowly restores your HPs. The Healing Church uses the Old Blood to cure the ill, and what's purer than the blood of a Great One, able to restore life itself? About the relationship between the Doll and Gherman, I have my theory, but it's a bit late for me (00.08), so I'll write it down later. I think I'll make a couple of videos explaining my theories, then.

@roblemieux1910 5 лет назад

I think the exchange between Willam and Laurence is the most interesting dialogue - it can be taken multiple ways given the definition of the word "fear" in "fear the old blood." In Victorian times, the word fear was also used to mean to have reverence or awe for something Godly; it also means to have respect for something in addition to being afraid or cautious of it. We don't really know what Willam's definition of "fear the old blood," maybe it just depends on what ending to the game you prefer.

I like Bloodborne's story more than any souls game. It feels fresh, with the right combination of complexity & simplicity. Even if you don't get the whole story, its easy to understand the core theme of the dangers of ambition. I find this much better than Dark Soul's story which is essentially repackaged greek god lore in a medieval setting.

It is almost a half year me trying to figure out the story of Bloodborne even tho i watched a lot videos. But by listening to this video very slowly and carefully, I finally came to some point where I get it (kinda). Thank you! You're doing great work. The way you introduce and talk in these videos is magnificent. Keep it up!

I love that there is someone like you to fill in the gaps for the lore of Bloodborne (and other souls games). Plus, your voice is dope, so calming to listen to haha. I can't wait to listen to your videos on Dark Souls 3. Thanks for putting in the effort to makes these videos. I hope you continue.

The God Emperor From what I gather you can tell by the blood. If when you hit them it's red blood, they used to be human before changing (Rom, Vicar Amelia etc). If when you hit them it's paleblood, then they are a Great One, so different species entirely (Ebrietas, Amygdala and so on)

Hey, VaatiVidya, regarding all the shit you're getting on Reddit and stuff, I just wanted to speak up and say that I think you're an amazing part of this community and I hope you continue to produce content of this quality and calibre through the entirety of the Souls series and beyond. I've been watching your stuff since Demon Souls and I'd hate to see you brought down by assholes spitting hate. Don't let the idiots keep you down, man. You keep on keeping on.

@RedRage2697 8 лет назад

What are they saying on reddit?

@glaxglax 8 лет назад

RedRage2697 There's proof that he plagiarized some of his "Bloodborne Story explained" video from a 90-page lore analysis written by a guy named dmcRedgrave. The transcript was fed through plagiarism software which detected not low, not medium but high plagiarism throughout the video - some sentences were directly lifted (item descriptions and quotes from the game were ignored by the software). The evidence is damning and Vaati's response was not to address it in a video, but write a note defending himself. His response completely skirts around the plagiarism software, claiming it was just flagging item descriptions (which it had already been explained, were ignored by the software). It's pretty clear he wants us all to forget about this. This is coming from somebody who very much wishes none of this were true. When you look at the facts though, any rational person will come to the conclusion that Vaati blatantly copied some of his Bloodborne story video - which he could've easily avoided by simply quoting his sources (it would not have been hard)

@saturn580 4 года назад

4:32 I think Gehrman and the Hunter’s Workshop began as a band-aid solution to the beast outbreaks caused by the blood rituals of the Healing Church. A dirty little secret tucked away to protect the holy image of the church. However, the beast threat eventually grew to the point that the church itself was forced to train and equip its own hunters. Perhaps they were arrogant and believed they would succeed where Gehrman had failed and purge the beasts forever. Or that they could keep the threat at bay for long enough to find a solution in the ancient labyrinths. Maybe they knew there was no solution, but seeing how hopelessly dependant on blood healing their civilization had become, they were prepared to fight an endless war against the beasts that they themselves were creating. Or knowing that the only true solution would be to disband the church and outlaw blood healing, they chose to persist and cling to their power.
