Thread 719108103

If the rot literally drove him insane, why doesn't he have the flame of frenzy?

>>719108103 (OP)
Why do you care, the game is about killing bosses and that's it

>>719108331
>the game is about killing bosses
which is an experience affected by the moveset of the bosses
if he had frenzied flame powers, that would change his moveset
ergo the game is meaningfully changed
this induction is so trivial did you even think it through at all?

>>719108103 (OP)
Flame of Frenzy only comes from the three fingers, some outer gods and the merchants. Just being insane doesn't give you it.

Flame of Frenzy makes you a based schizo, Radahn was just a mindless zombie barely hanging on to what little life he had left

>>719108103 (OP)
He's not insane like a babbling madman who peeked behind the curtains and is now looking for pepe silvia, he's insane like someone who had chunks of their brain rot and fall out from syphilis.

>>719108103 (OP)
You go mad from being exposed to the flames of frenzy. The flames of frenzy do not manifest from going mad.

>>719110104
whats the difference?

>>719110406
Flame of Frenzy makes you kooky, while Radahn is bonkers.

Fromsoft should have gone full retard fanservice and have miquella want a consort that has the powers of all significant outer entities affecting the lands between and you can only fight him after you do every other boss in the DLC.
So basically you kill midra and he takes a piece of midra, you kill messmer and he takes a piece of that and so on, so you have a formless mother, kindred of rot, finger magic, frenzied flame, gravity magic, dragon, ancient dragon, godskin black flame, grave magic, messmer/snake flame, giantfame frankenstein abomination instead of radhan with one bloodflame attack and horns on his wrists to represent mohg.

>>719108103 (OP)
He's more lobotomized by the rot than made insane. Just working on primal instincts

>>719110884
miquella should've been an option for the gay nigga ending with you as his consort if you do some shit before defeating radhan again

>>719110884
Maybe they thought the same because they basically did that with Heolster

>>719108103 (OP)
You have to go insane from despair for the flame of frenzy to take over without previous contact. It's why the soldiers and knights at Mt. Gelmir are frenzied etc
Radahn is just brain damaged from the rot... except he uses magic which takes intelligence to cast. Huh.

>>719108103 (OP)
Flame of frenzy is associated with wishing you (and the world) were never born; maybe Radahn didn't feel that way even when he lost his mind.

>>719111367
For Radahn INT is actually INstincT

FF requires someone to "enlighten you" to the suffering in the world, while Scarlet Rot is closer to "oh no enough of your frontal lobe has been scooped out that you can't function properly". Radhan got disease of the body, rather than disease of the psyche, and as such won't suffer the effects of FF

>>719108103 (OP)
In the 1.0 datamine, Radahan actually was a Frenzy cultist. Back then the Frenzied Flame was a god of revenge instead of nihilism, and there was a sidequest with one of Radahn's soldiers also becoming a Frenzy cultist which would guide you towards Hyetta and Miquella's questlines. It's why Radahn glows red in that initial trailer, the FF used to be a red flame instead of yellow.

damn, well said

i'll do you one better

>>719109427
>based schizo
It makes you a jew who wants to fulfill Tikkun Olam.

There is insane and then there is Madness
Nightreign directly pits the Frenzied Flame as a diametric opposite and counterbalance to Holy as an element, including the use of Frenzied Flame to create counterfeit gold

>it's another giant man with swords, infinite stamina, an endless list of 18 hit combos, and retarded lead-in animations, and can close any gap no matter how far the distance
The boss battles are the worst thing about souls games.
They were amazing in Demon's Souls coz of the variety, now i fucking cringe whenever i happen across a new fog door.

>>719119378
legitimate question. Why do you keep playing such games?

>>719119378
The bosses are only fun in coop. Fighting them alone is the most boring shit in the game.

>>719119378
DeS bosses outside of Old Hero, Penetrator and maybe Allant are all fucking dogshit

>>719119953
Adjudicator?

>>719119378
Pic is the only boss I know from a Souls game that actually becomes interesting in NG+, where you're basically managing a rising number of relatively weak bosses with large sweeping attacks and telegraphed grabs. The camera is honestly the shittiest thing about it and locking on would get you killed super fast. It's biggest saving grace against that it is in an area that has an infinite space to move around in.

>>719108103 (OP)
reddit shit

>>719108103 (OP)
Because the rot isn't the same as frenzy flame??

>>719118348
The one time I wouldn't have minded having to talk the level up maiden every time and the one time forcing it on the player would've been an effective narrative device.

The Flame of Frenzy is schizophrenia caused by obsessive nihilism. The Rot is rabies.
Do you approach a rabid dog and ask him what his argument for antinatalism is?

because he had a hype ass soundtrack keeping him sane

The point of the post wasn't to have a meaningful discussion, but to be reductionist in order to justify his inability to comprehend the lore. To reply with anything other than "retard" is itself a failure of induction desu.
