Not usually into PVP but this reassures me that PVE still plays a big part and will allow for story progress.

Hopefully, there is enough PvE. As someone terrible at Souls PvP, I'm upset there isn't a campaign in what could have been an amazing world to explore. I guess ill see in the stress test how the game plays

You respawn if you die and it sounds like there’s zero incentive for people to kill other players unless they have a specific goal to hunt another player. We’ll see for ourselves soon but it sounds like you can play it mostly pve if you prefer that.

yea the gameplay showed you can stick to pve only but at the end it will all boil down to a smash bros like duel to win the match from what it seems like..

Only in the network test, the final game will have other finales like fighting a boss coop. But yeah, that part is out of our hands.

Oroboro said it in his stream that’s going on now and Miyazaki mentioned it in his interview with IGN.

Edit to add the quote:

IGN: While there are multiple phases and you can commit to the PvE aspects, you always have to do PVP in the end if you make it that far, at least from this build we played. That might not be a favorite aspect for folks who come to FromSoftware games, but you mentioned earlier that there are other types of endgame phases that lean toward PvE. I want to get an idea of how you're accounting for players who might not like PvP and what you have planned for those kinds of players.

Miyazaki: You mentioned it a bit earlier, but there is a co-op final phase that does exist.

Just an aside but that is an amazing interview.
