I was a successful demon one last time.

I successfully mended the world, with help from a kind phantom who helped me twice with the false king. He died early on the first attempt, and I managed to hold on until the very last, but died with just one hit left to kill the boss. Lucky the phantom was still waiting around for my next attempt.
Also managed to win my last invasion, which was a nice little bonus. Umbasa to my poor victim

Finally got a friend, beat maneaters which were giving me incredible trouble. They sent me an umbasa message afterwards. Getting emotional over here.
this game really is beyond incredible. So much of it is things I have wanted in video games. If I donāt play tonorrow morning I had a fantastic final night wondering around, invading, and being invaded. I got to be the old monk three times!
Everyone I invaded seemed scared and confused even on the final day. Most of the time I just scared them off a cliff.
Umbasa.

i will forever remember being summoned to help with maneaters by someone in SB
and the first thing I did was click lockon, getting a gargoyle to spin my camera randomly, and then panic rolling off the ledge to my death
itās the most demonās souls thing to have happen
(it was also my joke str char and DBS is absolutely not a good weapon choice for maneater but it was funny anyway)

The connection seems wonky again. Played through the tower and beat the Foolās Idol, but had weird audio stuttering and a lack of ghosts and messages most of the way.
My runs through 5-1 have been embarassing.
I just beat the game. Before I logged out I left messages saying āgood luckā and ārememberā because I am a pretty big sap.
I considered remaining logged in until the end. Maybe someone would evaluate me. Maybe something special would happen. But this left me feeling oddly sad and waiting around would probably make me even sadder so I logged off, unhooked my PS3, and put it in the closet.
Iāll probably never touch it again unless I find people to play Spelunker HD with. That game was the Demonās Souls of 2D platformers, in case you didnāt know. Itās also free on PS+ for a few more days. You should download it.
This game is very easy now, and I like that. I replayed Dark Souls 3 recently and I died a lot, even though Iāve played the game many times. Here I felt like game knowledge was more important than combat skill. Itās very easy to break this game. I donāt even remember what most bosses look like up close. I prefer that. I think I beat every boss on the first try except for Old King Allant. I had him down to a sliver of health and I could have easily thrown a fireball at him and finished him but I said āNo. I will stab him. I want to feel him die.ā But he stabbed me first, and I died. Typical ending for me, but this time I wasnāt being impatient. I was calm. Maybe I knew I deserved to be punished. That is an awful thing to want to feel.
I beat him on the next try.
Then I walked around the beach a bit. Then I walked inside, finished the king, and stepped on a head, which is also an awful thing but it seemed right.
My final Old Monk was linkman666420.
My final partner was TheMilfDestructor.
I wanted a port but theyāll fuck it up. Theyāll smooth out all the edges. The edges are part of what make this game special. Iād somehow forgotten just how From it was. Frequently ugly and unrefined and uneven and ours. I know everyone keeps saying this, but itās amazing that this became a thing. It seemed like a massive triumph when it simply got released in the West and now itās almost a decade later and Mario games are paying tribute to it. What in the world.
Iāve largely stopped caring about corporations digging up the corpses of things I love but I know Iām going to be sad when I see a marketing campaign based around āThis is harsh. Evaluate me.ā
I feel haunted.

Left my sentiments in Final World Tendency. Show that 
(it wonāt be taken from you)
I super slacked on getting another playthrough in time. But this also motivates me to experience it anew, sans the layer of player interstices.

Was the Japanese server shut down at the same time? As I recall I think that server was handled by either From or Sony and the Western servers by Atlus?
all servers have been shut down.

hereās screenshots of final disconnection/server notice from a demonās LPer.
personal guess: itās an order from sony, who wants to wind down ps3 support.
