      the first time in limgrave, someone has talked about this, like you see tthe erdtreee, the entire limgrave, the castle, the bridge, like...
      a shit ton of teleports aswell, when you come out of caves to caelid for example. you get the whole picture, an actual painting, as you come out the cave and start seeing that crazy shit with the red sky
      apart from games on rails and with fixed cameras or cutscenes, i literally cant think of any other game that has had this fucking deep powerful visual revelations scattered ALL OVER THE ENTIRE FUCKING HUGE MAP

    What I love above all else about the moment you stumble upon this place is that it is the moment Elden Ring sets itself apart from any other game...
    There's a freaking entire map under the map, and there are like 4-5 secret zones with some having secret zones hidden inside them... and NONE of them are marked, you don't get told to go there, it's not the typical modern AAA crap of: Hey, we spent money making this content so here's a marker so you know you have to go there and "discover" it. Elden Ring just has it there, and if you find it good for you, if not then better luck next time.
    Elden Ring is a game that doesn't treat the player like an idiot. Elden Ring is a game that is not afraid to be played. And that's why no other AAA studio can emulate the sheer sense of discovery that From Software achieves with their games.

    The crazy thing is this: Every building, every platform, essentially everything you can see you can reach. Elden Ring really mastered Open World like no one else, because you know, that if you can see it, you can reach it.

    This game mastered and set the standard for atmosphere and world design. The definition of epic.
    I cannot recall or remember all the wow moments I had when I had my first playthrough and saw things for the first time, music kicking in and just getting dragged and pulled into this world and watched in awe.
    Elden Ring also is easily the game where I took the most screenshots.

    I think they were trying to recapture the magic of that elevator ride in Dark Souls from the Undead Parish back down to Firelink Shrine,
    one of the most memorable moments in their games because it showcased the incredibly interconnected and vertical map design that DS1 had,
    which I haven't seen done so well in any game before or since. The way the wall cracks open and what you thought was some underground area turns into a whole world especially.

    I'm so glad I found this elevator before spoiling it for myself. Back when this game first came out, everyone was racing to find every nook and cranny of the game. I was too, but it was the first souls game I really got into so I was going relatively slowly. I did play ds3 before but only like 15-20 hours. This moment stood out to me in a game with a bunch of standout moments. It represented to me the incredible vastness of the lands between. From Software added so much stuff to see everywhere that it creates the magic of a perfectly curated story. Stories with magic tend to let on that there is more to the world than what the audience sees. It captures the imagination and fosters dedicated communities. This can be difficult to do in a videogame, because the developers have limitations to how much they can reasonably make. A player can easily test the limits of the world by hitting an invisible barrier or similar acts that break immersion. Elden Ring ignores this trend by making a huge world with lots of hidden content. When the player tests the limits of the world, they might be disappointed, or they might be amazed by a secret area or item or boss. The effort this must have taken to make the player feel the organic excitement of exploration must have been immense.
