Toward the end, talk of thegame’s closed betais brought up and with it, a snippet of footage showing messages, bloodstains, summons, and invasions. Notice the White Phantom’s health bar on the left-hand side of the screen, which comes in addition to the one located over the player character’s head? Nice. Very nice.
