I loved the free will section, honestly, I think the only people that don’t understand that are Americans. Because Americans are the only people that you see fighting for absolute free speech because for some reason they desperately want to make a racial slurs on the Internet free speech doesn’t mean you get to be a bigot it just means you get to say what you’re thinking but if what you’re thinking is bigotry then no you’re not part of the society that enables free-speech

5:09 Thank me later

Sucks we likely will never have a prequel.

I would never miss a Miquella video, especially from you. Was this always here?

Anyone complaining about a perceived lack of connections in fromsoftware games doesn't play fromsoftware games

"save to watch later" this just got recommended but its Saturday and i got gaming to do. Cant wait to watch this.

Even if it is miquella’s lily, I’m not gonna sit here and act like that’s proof of consent to this whole plan lmfao that’s such a leap in logic I’m sure you only claim it for the clickbait title

Miyazaki watching the video going: " whoa that makes so much more sense!! Why didn't I think of that? I just thought it looked freaking cool!"

Miquella was certainly a good guy but he actually did do 1 thing wrong... Challenged me!!! 😈 I know what i am and what i am is a monster!

2:06 lord-of-all-that-is-golden mentioned??? 😮

its hip to fug trees

"Erd" is an ancient sumerian word for soul. Also alot of the lore for Elden Ring was adapted from norse mythology. So the erdtree is Yggdrasil, and the elden beast would be Nidhogg.

We’re the nameless cities peoples murdered and their corpses and the power of their spirits used to create/summon the scarlet rot or melania?

Rotted great oak

The ice witch is ranni

Another peice of evidence that there was some other pre-curser or great tree is that the primordial crucible based on context is not the erd tree itslef as a crucible by definition can be determined as either a holding pot for some sort of melted material in this case life or it can be a trial/transformative test that creates or results in whtever going thru it to be transfromed or to "bloom" into a new form and based on the fact that the erd tree is sort of semi spirtual/illusory the crucible may be a sort of alchemy pot made to melt and meld souls to create the erd tree and the great tree could have been the "mold" used to create the erd tree like how molds are used in metal work

great voice for narrating - fkn top notch content right here

Late to the party, I’m neurodivergent and I’m gonna be honest… I never noticed 😅😂 I just liked listening to you to unwind and enjoy some unique perspectives on Elden Ring lore 😂

My crackpot theory going in is there were several Great Trees over the eras, and the Elden Beast arena is Tree Heaven where all the great trees go when they die Okay, see you back later

20:43 I feel like this tree symbol more symbolizes the crucible

Bro fucking stop with the symbols, from soft just grabs western-looking designs and bye. Your reaching so hard youll get a hernia.

Bruh this us a fantasy narrative, you have 0 reason to drag real world religious iconography you clearly dont understand into it. Im not saying this because im religious. Im saying it because your knowledge is insanely surface level and youd be better off cutting these parts altogether.

I disagree that Radhan joining miquella would be radhans dream resulting in an endless war for the age of compassion. Miquellas age of compassion seems to be pretty clearly indicating that there would be no more war. That coupled with how there seems to be no clear confirmation that radhan was in on the plan makes me think that miquellas reign would be contingent on brainwashing thus making him the bad guy, even if the brainwashing is in service of his ultimate goal of peace and harmony. I wonder if in the age of compassion there would be similarities between miquella/radhan and marika/godfrey where once the god achieved the power to enact their age the consort would then be cast out as no longer fitting within the order they were tasked to enact. I also question the role that death would play in miquellas age of compassion. Would it still be removed or would people simply die of old age? Would deaths existence not cause disparity and suffering? If so would miquella use his charm to prevent the grieving from feeling their grief rendering death inconsequential? If death exists but does not cause disparity than I think that leads to life itself being inconsequential, being able to choose to do good or bad and deal with the consequences is one of the foundational determining factors of ones character. Removing the ability to choose to do bad and deal with the consequences even if its to a creatures benefit does not match 1 to 1 with the idea of mortal law and order, people are free to choose to do bad things and suffer the consequences which makes means when they choose to do good theres actual significance. Making it so one is only able to choose good means that essentially the choice is neither good or bad, it's not even a choice, just someone doing what they were programmed to do. If death is removed would that not lead to the same stagnation that ends up being the ruin of both the golden order and the age of fire from dark souls? I think a running theme in this game is strife leading to evolution. Evolution is messy, can lead to horrible mutations that cause agony to the creature experiencing it but over time the beneficial mutations are passed on through natural selection and those creatures may attain a higher form of life unimaginable to their ancestors. Ending the process of evolution in the name of an age of peace IMO would only be acceptable if the highest form of life had already been achieved. Which it could be argued that miquella ascending to godhood would be achieving that highest form of life however for a being to be considered to have ascended to the highest form of life I think it would have to be undeniably infallible and the controversy surrounding miquellas methods show that he is not even if he strives to be. He abdicates himself of his empyrean flesh but not of his ties to his empyrean brother. He uses moghs unwitting corpse as the vessel for the soul of his favored brother. He retains his former form in spirit and is able to communicate with mortals directly rather than becoming an incomprehensible living concept of compassion such as becoming a new elden ring like configuration of runes. He abdicates his mortal emotions and removes his other half st trina and leaves her to die. I wouldn't consider one having infallible compassion if one did not show compassion for their own self. I remember a line from one of the spirits in the dlc I believe in reference to st trina that says something along the lines of "Oh miquella, how can you save the world if you cannot save yourself".

What do you mean Miquella isn't literally Hitler?!

Why all of you, sick weirdos, want to turn one of best game characters in a p3do fanboy fan loser?? Stop projecting.

I’m surprised people haven’t called elden ring woke and review bombed it. A matriarchy with gender fluid characters? A gay engagement?

Cool video. Made me think. I think that’s the whole point of storytelling.

placidusax’s arena was lifted from the earth of bayle’s arena - that tells me farum azula was atop the jagged peak afore the shadowlands split

One thing i like about Fromsofts games is that they are up for interpretation and its hard to know what is going on! Its like history, no one nows exactly what happened and its up to us to make up our own mind of how every thing played out and who was good and who was evil! Love the video btw

Dude sounds like Vaatifroy

I absolutely LOVE the tone of voice you used to empathize them wearing heels. 😂

Honestly thank god someone is on the same wavelength as me. I was so mad i couldn't side with him and still am. I would choose that ending every time lol. And ever singe video makes me feel like a crazy person for wanting a world where everyone loves eachother and works together in harmony???

So Marika most have stolen baby Melina and sealed her gloam eye. Then she went Radagon mode and seduced the GEQ, which produced Messmer. She sealed away his abyssal serpent with the eye of grace. That or she got baby Melina after the assassination. I'm wondering if Messmer was even created on purpose. Melina was definitely wanted. It could be that Marika was just trying to get close enough to the GEQ to allow Maliketh to make the kill, but accidentally caused a pregnancy.

Maybe thats why miquella embedded himself in the roots, because he knew it was a tree of "death" once upon a time but unfortunately its a hollowed out husk and isnt alive anymore, and couldnt help him cross over to the land of shadow, so he had to come up with a different method.

I finally understand. Crucible Knights basically follow the faith of the Hornsent, It wasn't until after Godfrey that Marika was able to oust them and label them as heretics

You look exactly how you sound - great. And absolutely you should do a voicover switch with Vaati

multiuniverse

Conspiracy theory this is vaatis secret second channel.

I think it was the original plan. I'm not all onboard with Mohg being charmed from the jump. I think Miquella would've achieved god status from his tree, the long play, but Mohg interrupted it and that's where plan B comes in. While the others fight over territory essentially.
