topcat59: It makes sense that the transformation would be more graceful in Elden ring, since you’re technically being rewarded for killing bayle’s cursed bloodline and being acknowledged as a true dragon that’s still loyal to placidusax.

johnyappleseed8267: I kinda understand why dragons are always hostile. When my character looks like a lizard cooked beef jerky style, I too become very self conscious to anyone in my line of sight and attack unprovoked.

HolyKnight-kh1im: So the only way a human can truly become a dragon without going mad or becoming a monstrosity is through these hearts. Probably the only time a truly successful attempt at dragonhood happens in this franchise.

r3gret2079: Aw, look how happy bro is to be a dragon. He is literally smiling from ear to ear. How cute.

alastor8091: No TRUE DRAKE WARRIOR would ask this question Zullie, how could you??? :(

jstar3382: In prior games we forced draconic aspects onto our player, something that was not meant to be.

In ER, we more accept draconic strength into ourselves, and allow it to change us. Its not nearly as forced

The forced transformation is still present with the Lamenters Mask

Time4theJuice: Never caught that the naked drake form had the funny omnivore teeth. That's a pretty good detail

GerudoKing_: So if that is how ancient dragons look in more human-like form, then Lansseax would…

Vyke, you are a man of strange taste.

Pooslice2610: Been watching for years and just wanted to break silence...

When I see a new video of yours drops I CANNOT click on it fast enough, the lore, the implications, the details, the music, the presentation just hit a vibe with me so so much, to me at least you're my favourite Souls/Lore creator and I just wanted to say thank you so much Zullie, keep up the work and look after yourself

psychohuh: It's interesting that the only two dragons with confirmed human forms were women. I wonder if it was easier for them or if male dragons are just too prideful to bother with it.

ladonmccabe: It is said that after granting our beloved Dragon Priestess sleep, she gains a human heart. If she goes from Ancient Dragon>dragon human>dragon with human heart, could she possibly become a human with a human heart? And if so, would it really be a stretch for a human, that has been eating numerous dragon hearts to become a dragon human>dragon human with a rock heart

cakehunt3r442: I think the headmesh underneath is there for the designer to have a fixed point where human features would be to garantee that it is entirely covered. And then probably just left it in...

metalmonster9536: Maybe transforming animation is more graceful because the Dragonlord is overseeing it as part of dragon communion?

At least we Tarnished are free from the curse of GNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

whateveryousayfam5240: Dragon these runes across yo face

AzraelSoulHunter: Florissax my beloved. Ranni could never compete.

jacobfreeman5444: I think the problem is that it takes enormous effort and time to make the transition. These petty transformations are just the surface level of a change that has to go all the way to the core and has just started. With magma wyrms being what happens when you fail to temper and discipline yourself. But understandably something that takes so long would engender impatience so failure is almost always the result. Seemingly the ancient dragons are creatures of vast lives, unfathomable patience, and incredible self discipline.

GreebleClown: “Those who feast on too many dragon hearts risked becoming Magma Wyrms”

And that would be a bad thing? That sounds awesome! Not as awesome as becoming a realm dragon, but imagine how fun just rampaging would be?!

christopherpaige7012: The human face in the transformation reminds me of Sekiro’s Old Dragons

themaniae4803: Ah yes LanSEaX, the favorite dragon of Vyke and a lot of knights of the capital.

Also, it's damn creepy see human teeth on that lizard face.

michajerchel7350: So you're telling me that Godwyn had fun with a lizard person, not basicaly just a person?

Our golden boi is kinky

irithylldragon: my dragon-themed build was not pleased to discover that, because i avoided spoilers, i missed out on a whole ass spell and the dragon priestess ashes

elleofmusic: I wonder if the un-Ancient Dragon-like appearance of their "humanoid" forms are how the drakes came to be in the first place? The Ancient Dragons barely even seem like organic creatures, so in taking on a more humanoid form, their draconic features naturally become more fleshy, leading to a drake-like appearance. And this would then potentially facilitate breeding between humans and dragons, resulting in hybrids that eventually lead to Draconic people and drakes respectively.

vgman94: I like the dragon forms overall but I wish we had a more draconic moveset like how Bloodborne’s Beast transformation worked.

Pairing with a hypothetical Dragon Claw (Beast Claw weapon claw) to give it unique animations/ a new moveset would’ve been amazing.

Feels like a lost opportunity.

moisttowelette5353: DS2 still has the best dragon transformation to this day. The dragon armor was sick.

Grimsly3736: Ds2’s Dragon Transformation/Armor is made up from scales of Kalameet or the “Black Dragon” as the game puts it and all the Black Dragon weapon are made from his tail even though the Obsidian Greatsword was already his tail weapon? Odd and the shield is of his talons so essentially Kalameet got the Monster Hunter Treatment, the dragon head stone’s flame breath attack looks more like Kalameet flames too.

Liam-pi9vi: What they did with the Dragon lore in the DLC was perfect. I always felt odd when I was using ancient dragon lightning and communion spells, the former being a power gained through dragon worship, and the other through their deaths. But the adversarial relationship between the ancient dragons and drakes in the DLC reconciled that. I’m interested what the “ancient” form of dragon communion mentioned in the Rock Heart’s item description was done for, though.

maninthesnow4393: I wish being higher ranks in the covenants would lead to different appearances.

El_payaso2006: REJECT DRAGON FORM, IMBRACE LAMENTER!!

kingofflames738: I still pray to one day get a game that let's us fully transform into majestic flying dragons.
