Wow, it's been a while since this thread was used, but anyway...
Long story short, my brother's PS3 got taken away when he moved from my home to his own, and so he took it with him. Therefore, no more Demon's Souls ever since. Sort of. *visits him at times*
Anyway, I'm reviving this to ask just one thing: On New Game+ playthroughs, is it possible for the player to challenge the tutorial boss ever again? Or is the player not even given the choice to go through the tutorial again?

No, every subsequent playthrough will land you back at the Nexus prior to having access to the Lady in Black for levels. However, the boss of the tutorial, the Vangard Demon can be found in World 4-1 if you want to kill him again. By starting a new character though, you can challenge him in the tutorial stage. I find Magic Users work best.
If you ever get around to playing it again, it's incredibly worth it. Loved, loved, loved this game and I just got the Platinum trophy fairly recently. Looking very forward to Dark Souls... Yum.

Hmmm... But by killing him on stage 4-1, you won't gain his soul, right? Though I heard it's only useful for making an axe that's good only in the beginning of the game.
Also, I heard rumors about the 3rd tutorial stage (the one you get to after killing him) that claimed there's a very well-hidden item in it, which I think it was a Katana sword. Do you happen to know if that or anything of the kind is even true?

Well, after you defeat the Vangard in 4-1, he will drop the Gray Demon's Soul which is used to make a very powerful Axe called the Dozer Axe. demonssouls.wikidot.com/dozer-axeIt's quite powerful, but slow and will add a massive amount of weight to your character depending on how much endurance they have for equipping items. So yeah, that's pretty much the only difference really, you can still get the soul. I've not heard about a 2nd or 3rd Tutorial stage in Demon's Souls, so that is all news to me and I've read through the Demon's Souls wiki a few times... There are some nice Katana, but I believe there are only 3 types, the Uchigatana that is dropped by Phantom Satsuki or found in Stage 4-2, the Hiltless that is obtained for killing Satsuki when he comes down of the wall during Pure White World Tendancy, and also one found during PWWT called the Magic Sword "Makoto". demonssouls.wikidot.com/swords2-Thomas

Hm, the Katana bit was probably a false rumor. I saw a comment on a related YouTube video of a guy asking about such a katana after killing the tutorial boss, so I went and searched all guides on GameFAQs to see if I could find anything, and I think I found what could have started this likely-false rumor: If you do win, you'll score yourself a [Gripless] katana, and a [Grey Demons Soul]That quote is from this guide. According to many sources, "Gripless" is the "Hiltless" katana. It's how it was named in the Asian version. After checking your wiki links, it further seemed to be just a rumor. So thanks for clearing that bit up. On an unrelated note, I wonder if there will be some way for players to play online again once the servers close down. The game's wikipedia article states the serves are scheduled to close down on October 11th this year. =s
