Dark Souls II: New Tag Line

On February 7th on the Dark Souls Facebook page; From Software posted this question "Community Poll: Which tag-line would you select for Dark Souls II? (Dark Souls). The information can be seen in the graph below:

Overall the totals votes counted was 13,018; out of that number these were the percentages at the end: 46% Sacrifice Everything, 46% Transcend Death, 3% Go Beyond Death, 3% Into The Beyond and 2% Survive Death. As of right now Sacrifice Everything is in the lead with only 26 votes. They have not confirmed that this poll will be the final tag line for the game but just that they wanted feed back from the community.

Here is some of the feedback received from the poll : We can find many opinions and ideas that the fans had  for example; "The real dark souls begins here"(Sean), "The tagline should find a graceful way to address the idea of a squeal about a game tackling an after-death struggle. These are good, but they don't quite hit home." (Jonathon). Some had strong opinions on the topic sch as "The word transcend sounds to peaceful for the Dark Souls series." (Austin). The tag line made from both a developers and fans perspective and the fans involvement in choosing it was a good move by From Software.
