It literally sounds like they "just" took the old Dark Souls formula, elevated the world to new heights with George's help, added in mechanics from both Bloodborne and Sekiro and added new depth to character customization. Basically it's like they leveled up all the aspects of the game that fans of the game loves, whether it's the lore, the build customization, the world feeling connected or the game mechanics and I'm just so ready for January to roll around now.
I’m really impressed about what they said about not making any bustling towns or villages, saying it’s “not their specialty”. If this were any other modern open world AAA game, they would have tried to do everything, even if they weren’t particularly good at doing them. It really shows how they stick to their guns and always pump out a title of quality.
I just like their blatant honesty, tbh. They just openly tell you, that they could kind of ruin it, so they just consciously put the effort that would go into that aspect somewhere else. Though I always liked the rather open worlds they presented us and I feel like, if you would feel less alone, it'd take a bit away from the feel we learned in the Souls series.
@Shin Shaman Kinda like street fighter, call of duty, naruto ultimate ninja storm, pokémon, Devil may cry, (actually not sekiro), battlefield, world of warcraft, idk have I hit any games you play? Eh it don’t matter. Imma go play stick and ball outside. The game every game has copied lol. Or maybe rock throw.
@Shin Shaman bruh i just clicked on your profile and all i saw was "why this is going to be a disappointment" and "why these things suck". Im guessing you dont really have friends considering how negative you are
The Berserk inspiration is HEAVY in this one, and I love it!! Thankful for FromSoftware showing their love for Kentaro Miura's masterpiece Berserk and for Miura, may he rest in peace.
In respect to Kentaro Mirua, my first build in elden ring will be a guts build. Kentaro is a Mega chad, who deserves all the respect anyone could give.
Dark Souls is proof that Miura will live on forever. His art has already inspired many marvelous things, like what’s before us now with FromSoft and Miyazaki. I can’t wait to see what phenomenal talents will reveal themselves over the years and cite Miura as an inspiration down the line.
It also sounds like Miyazaki. I always thought that in DS, Gwyn was more of a protagonist than your own character. His actions shaped the world and every single character has some kind of relationship with him. And the same could be said to an extent about Artorias, Ornstein, Seath..
When u talk about the variety of different skills we can select from, I just imagine Some ppl making a guts build, with a greatsword just spinning like the manga.
you probably can swap weapon arts only between same weapon types, like move weapon art from one Greatsword to another, or it should just brake the game i guess
@@bigsmall2842 It's definitely my type of game too, although a lot of games are my type of game xD. Only things I don't really like are rts games, sports games and racing games.
So, I really try to avoid hyping myself up for games, especially after so many high profile failures. But From Software is I think the only developer that I still have faith in. Really hope it turns out good.
I think From Soft has a great track record. CD Projekt Red did not, Witcher 1 & 2 were flops and Witcher 3 was buggy on release, and doesn't have the most fluid gameplay. People expected too much out of Cyberpunk because they marketed it so heavily.
And that’s exactly what I was hoping for with the open world, make the time between saves much longer, making fights in the open world very risky, but a necessity at times.
@Shin Shaman hahaha wow, looks like someone couldn’t manage to beat any one of the fromsoft games. It’s cool man, don’t worry, This one is open world so you can just run away from a fight if it’s too hard!
I hope so, hate how in the souls games if you miss one interaction with them you can fail their entire storyline and they die with no chance to salvage it unless you replay the game.
to be honest, the more news I hear the more worried I am. First open world, now spirits kinda sound like forced AI coop... And no, I'm not just mad that this is not Dark Souls 4, it just seems that they are taking an inspiration from genres that I personally hate Before all those announcements I was kinda hoping they would go another direction with the world design: full on metroidvania, with traversal abilities also useful in combat
@@jakubpuawski3875 it certainly has potential, to me the most worrying aspect is the spirits as they said to include it into your build.... I don't like this very much
4:08 “Skills can be _FREELY_ assigned to many weapons.” Knowing Miyazaki, “freely” means you’ll have to trek up an optional mountain of glass, barefoot, and then defeat a gorilla-succubus at the top to get a key which unlocks a chest atop a different mountain made of poison sludge which holds a device that lets you reassign skills to different weapons for 75,000 “Ring Echoes” per swap.
This is literally the only company that really makes it clear that with every new game they're implementing previous experiences to make the next game better!
Look at Insomniac games and their franchises. They have been putting out bangers since the PS2 days. Each of their game is a clear improvement to the last one in the franchise. They don’t downgrade their games, no false promises or micro transactions. Insomniac is a pretty underrated studio.
I wonder if the 'Ring' in Elden Ring actually refers to the open world, made up of 6 realms, all surrounding the God Tree at its center. Then the fracturing of the ring might refer to each of these 6 realms being cut off from one another, and thus from the God-Tree itself, which results in those connected to/relying on the God-Tree's power going mad, their lands falling to ruin as they are in a way, in withdrawal- disconnected from the power of the ring as a whole, and the God-tree at its center. This would then create a reason for the tarnished, those who were previously connected to the God-Tree/Ring and lost that connection, labeled tarnished for lacking the gold luster of the God-Tree and exiled by those who maintained that connection, to return to the fractured land and fight- as they already suffered through ring-withdrawal and have again learned to function with their humanity intact- in a mission to connect each of the 6 realms and thus reconnect the God-Tree itself to the ring of realms surrounding it. Just speculation.
If you invade in dark souls and the host doesn't have any phantoms they will often try to run to the nearest fog gate or hide somewhere. Imagine if they also had a horse.
@Shin Shaman you're whole channel seems to be based around negativity. Youd probably do better if you would stop trying to make inflammatory titles to get views and just made something interesting instead.
@Shin Shaman Oh so you're just a hack who can't gain any traction so you're trying to spark controversy and drum up viewers in another creator's comment section. That's sad, my dude.
It really sounds like a game you can put hundreds of ours in and not see everything. Just think about dark souls 1, the game is as old as it is, and were still finding out new things about it. Now imagine that in Elden Ring.
If elden ring is good enough, which is really likely, it will probably cause me to overlook the witch queen expansion for destiny 2, which I am hyped for.
Oh it's Big Dark Souls. Thing is BIg Dark Souls is all I wanted. Had a feeling that George came up with the Tarnished idea. Miyazaki's ideas are usually apocalyptic "save what's left of the world" stories and even he was getting frustrated with that, so, being enterprising, he hired a man with different interests, namely in the life of a knight who's fallen from grace, and applied that. Looking at it it's a really smart move. The fact that most of these bosses are looking down on you from the start is a hell of a motivation to prove them wrong.
Literally was just discussing this with my girlfriend. It's the opposite of the usual aspirations in Miyazaki's stories having George set this up makes it a million times more meaningful to me. I needed a game about survival and fighting on through hell when DS1 came out. Now I need something that empowers my budding confidence as an adult. The souls saga really resonates with my life and makes me so thankful.
Don't get your hopes up too high. Given Miyazaki's recent history this is likely to be a twitch reflex game with little build variety and penalties for defensive play like BB and Sekiro. Miyazaki hates Poise with a burning passion now. Though if you like BB, I guess you're set.
This genuinely feels like a game that might benefit from a "Chalice Dungeon" mode that will let you continue exploring randomly generated dungeons, even after you've cleared most of the content of the game. Open world gameplay is great, but sooner or later you run out of places to go. A DLC that grants that kind of mode would add a lot of replayability to it.
Apparently, he did most of the work (writing) years ago but the game takes time to develop so he's been giving feedback to bits that the devs have been sending him over the years.
Was just thinking this. I've been reading Berserk for the first time since before Miura's death (RIP) and am finally noticing the incredible amount of inspiration it had on the souls series
I'm hoping Elden Ring has a some major variety in magic: Heck, new setting means new magic altogether which I am super excited for as a mage player. Can't wait to see what new power awaits.
As a melee only player, I'm very happy to hear that we'll be able to assign weapon arts to any weapon, and we'll have a jump button with some aerial combat in the mix. This looks like the perfect souls game.
@@awaishssn Oh, very much so. Magic is the best it has been in terms of variety and viability. No spell has been left behind and I am still finding new ones slowly but surely. Across multiple specialized characters and that list is growing, I have found a lot: the search for magical strength is ongoing, but with all the attunement you can get, you can be an incredibly varied and formidable mage indeed.
To see how far along we've come, from Demon Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Sekiro. All building blocks to lead to something every fan, new or older can come to enjoy the artwork, the styles, the themes, the mechanical elements, the encounters, and inner worlds of such beautiful minds. I am intrigued and inspired by this progress that has been harvested! Such a profound thing to call ourselves "gamers". Moments like this touches that thing, that dark soul within us all🌌
@Shin Shaman It seems you have yet to become blessed with our understanding and enthusiasm for a series so beloved. But then, you don't want insight, do you? If you aren't into these forms of games, why do you waste your time here making a comment on it? We shall enjoy and revel in euphoria; to the rhythm of dying over and over, and to the struggle we endure.
Feels like FromSoftware knows what they do really well, knows how to stick to it and keep the scope under control (Miyazaki's comments strike me by how much he tempers things like the stealth, where he points out that it will be limited). Or the comment about bustling villages not being their specialty. Stark contrast to CDPR's fiasco. Super looking forward to this.
@@yemmohater2796 The scenario was lack of focus, engine rewrite halfway through development and multiple changes in leadership. CDPR was known for being an organizational clusterfuck to people who paid attention to the Witcher. Lead dev for W3 quit dev alltogether due to stress and literally went off to a buddhist monastery.
I think this is my favourite youtube channel. When it's not analysing the games or covering news, it's conducting really interesting art competitions and showcasing some beautiful ass work.
Needing to mark the map yourself is one of my favourite parts of all this so far. I want to explore the world myself, without guidance, and I'm glad Fromsoft is making that a major part of the game. Map markers telling you where to go aren't exactly something I'm a fan of
@@noahmurray8883 I think some design aspects of the DS versions were better, the gold hilt, the clear outer blade similar to a final fantasy Ultima Weapon, but BB's one actually glowing and the whole galaxy motif was awesome, here's hoping for a sort of combination
I mean, I would argue open world for the sake of being open world is not always a good thing. That said, a lot of these additions do compliment the open world, so I'm happy
@@krvys7226 any company other than From and that decision would’ve worried me, but I trust them to take a considered approach to the open world format. I also imagine we’ll be looking at something more like “DS1 but wider and more diverticula” than Skyrim. Metroid Ant farm vs elder scrolls sandbox.
This also seems like From's absolutely most ambitious game yet. There's so much going into it and I can't imagine how long it must have taken and how much work has gone into it. Super excited to run around backflip-slashing with my dagger
I’m not trying to sound negative but don’t you guys think the game looks just like DS3 in terms of graphics? Don’t get me wrong ds3 looks really good for its generation but elden ring doesn’t look next gen to me.
@@itscoolthough419 meh, I agree with you there, but it honestly doesn't bother me. Gameplay and game feel are what I feel are important. It could look like a PS2 game for all I care.
@@itscoolthough419 that is a good thing, finally a studio that doesn’t bait the customer with fancy graphics to have a boring repetitive gameplay in return (i’m looking at you Assassin’s Creed Valhalla) they understood that graphics isn’t everything, but the art concepts still look stunning.
@@itscoolthough419 They're using the same engine since demon souls iirc. They obviously have upgraded it here and there. Nevertheless, as the saying goes, if it ain't broken, don't fix it.
I think the multiplayer still sounds fairly clunky... why can't we just search for someone's username and send them an invitation? The new system sounds only marginally more accessible...
I like that they’re taking from Sekiro, it’s nice to see what influences it has on the main formula. I think the story balance between cutscenes telling the “known” of Ashina, versus items telling the “unknown” of the places you go after leaving the castle, set a good balance for telling a distinct story while preserving the indirect signature style
@@Loneshdo gotta keep your expectations mid no matter what, it is fromsoftware who make great games but we don't know if it'll be one of fromsofts best games
@@Ibrahim-wr5fs Yes, while they're a 10/10 company, the developers are not much experienced with MMOs, and the DS franchise servers can be kinda... "ehhhh" at certain times. So I'm not as excited for it as BotW 2, but I do know that it wont be sub-tier. It is a Fromsoft game after all.
That’s what I thought about Anthem (oh no, I said it) before it came out. I fully expect to play Elden all the way through, and I expect I’ll have a good time of it. But I’ll wait and see before I let my hopes get too high. (Please don’t be another anthem)
This game will suck and I will not get a holiday at work to play this in January, I will only accidentally buy it and casually start it only because there is nothing else to do and maybe, just maybe I will keep playing
@@DejectedCat CDPR was well know for making buggy messes, do you guys have gold fish memories, did you not remember how Witcher 3 launched? Frankly I never got why people hyped them up in the first place, even after updates W3 was crap, the combat especially was awful.
Dark Souls has always felt like the "adult" version of the Zelda games so its really appropriate that this one is giving big Breath of the Wild vibes with its open world and horse riding.
@@joereno955 How right you are. Souls games are deeply important to me. I've been out of games and have had serious things happen to me in the past decade. Every time I've entered in one of those depression episodes, a Souls game takes me back. Either Demon's and Dark1 back in 2011, Bloodborne in 2017, Dark Sous 3 in 2020... Looking forward to starting Sekiro, this time without depression lol.
i just really hope that progress is shared when you work coop together, having do re-do every boss, and area and item collection 2-3 times is a real bummer
i think there would be several skills alloted to three groups (light weapons. normal weighted weapons and heavy weapons) you cannot interchange skills between them
Imagine if the host and invader could just go on a 10 minute long horseback chase. Every invasion, and every time the host finds a way to disengage from the invader. Yeah, no, I'm glad horse gets restricted during PvP.
For real. Invasions have always had such huge host advantage anyway, they don’t need anymore bullshit to let them run away. I’ve chased hosts at Pontiff for ten minutes straight, they sucked at fighting but knew how to press the circle button and RoFaP glitch run away. Hopefully it’s harder to disengage from combat in this one, I want more chase downs and less s on rolls when getting attacked from the back.
So happy to see customization, weapon variety, and different builds available and taken to an even greater level (summons and assignable skills seems awesome). Lack of playstyle variety was what I liked least about Sekiro by far. This has got me pumped!!!
can't wait for ridiculous souls-like challenges. "Beating Elden Ring and exploring all areas only slow walking" "The slowest walking speedrun" and other such stuff.
Miyazaki seemed very excited about Martin's involvement in that IGN interview. That alone is very exciting to see since Martin himself is a Dark Fantasy lord, hope the work he has put here will shine thru (which it will)
Martin is the master of telling half of a story and then being too busy milking the attention the first half got him and trying to monetize it to ever finish the story, until eventually he just can't be bothered anymore. He hasn't even finished GoT yet. I low key hope his involvement has been exhaturated and he's barely got anything to do with it. He'd probably lose interest and end it on a cliffhanger to build the sequel which he never gets round to writing.
I like that basically there will be a new type of build, "summoner", as i understand it... and i like that movesets or skills will be interchangable for weapons... Also this "skills" for weapons kinda remind me of Dragons Dogma.. my favorite rpg afer Dark Souls games ...XD I am looking forward to exploring it, exploring the story and then exploring and trying out all build vareity in my fourth and beyond playthroughs :D
@@zeph769 yup..me too... And that night day cycle..i think i heard somewhere mentioned that there will be tougher enemies at night..not sure thou. Either way..that is awesome imho... Dragons Dogma is a great open world rpg ( and actually quite tough game ) ...synergy of ideas from that game and soulsborne games can be awesome xD
But, on the other hand, suddenly not being able to use your mount in the middle of nowhere, knowing an enemy invader could be hiding in a bush just waiting to strike, is going to do wonders for the experience
I think it'll be more or less if you are actively engaged in PvP against someone else then your horse cant be called, but I guess you could get that first joust hit in and then be dismounted
Imagine just walking through a forest area, gathering healing materials, then suddenly you just see this outline of a knight riding a horse. You jump and scramble to fight but then just get impaled on his spear. You come back to your body and there is a message there. Git gud.
Can't wait to hear your prepare to cry vids on Elden ring, I can just lay in my room at 3am just learning about every nice detail before going to sleep knowing I've been in a great community for two years.
Edit: should have said: I DOUBT YOU COULD EVEN Imagine all the builds, a rider type character that preforms best on a horse, a summoner caster/healer OF THE THING THAT COMMANDED POT BOI this makes me sosoos excited damn
Miyazaki has stated a multitude of times that the horse is not a main focus of the game. In all the leaked footage, including actually released trailers, there's only been one swing animation shown on horseback which is kind of depressing.
With the spirit summon mechaninc, I'm gonna name my Potboy Pedro and he'll be my best friend troughout the game. Even is he is just there for moral support and is one of the ''useless'' spirits Zaki talked about, as soon as I learn how the mechanic works I'll go find one
Oh my god fromsoftware has seen the comunity do pacifist runs so they added a feature so you can actually do them offline without breaking the game!! How cool is that?!!
@@QuantumFishFTW @Dinky pacifist runs challange runs where the player character does not deal any damage. Instead you summon npcs or friends or randoms that kill the enemies for you while you try to keep them alive with aoe heals
I'm so proud of vaati, don't know him never met him but had been a subscriber back when his videos weren't as popular and seeing him grow just makes me so happy, the fact that he's always so dedicated, dude wish we could grab a beer you seem like such a great person.
@Shin Shaman Well, the thing about games is that no one forces you to buy them. I've bought and played all the Dark Souls games and never regretted it... so your opinion matters not to me.
@Shin Shaman "the same garbage from puts out every year" Lol wut, they don't pump these out every 10 months like they do with Fifa or COD games. Tell me, if Elden Ring looks like "generic overrated garbage", what kind of games do YOU like?
From should get Vaati to cameo in one of their future games. He's got the right vocal cadence for it, that focused, slightly sinister whisper. He just needs to add a sense of being completely doomed and broken by the horrors of the world around him, for which he may need to move to Britain.
While I think that sounds cool on its face, ultimately it would be a terrible thing to do. Forever, anyone playing Elden Ring would be taken out of the game upon hearing his voice.
@@protatype7487 I wasn't being completely serious with that suggestion, but since you mention it I don't think it would be a game-breaker as you believe. It never bothered me hearing Peter Serafinowicz in DS 2 for example. A small cameo for Vaati in a small role isn't going to rupture the fabric of the gameworld.
Was listening to the Firelink Shrine song from 1 just now. I hope ER keeps some of that haunting yet tranquil atmosphere instead of everything being super epic and flashy
"Since you might find yourself fighting for a longer time between checkpoints than in previous games" *Dragonslayer Armour Bonfire flashback* ..of course
man I spent months trying to get from the Dragonslayer armour bonfire to the grand archives but it's just to difficult. Although that's a bit of an extreme example I'm not sure they could possibly create a harder challenge then that in Elden ring.
When you said the a fillable map is confirmed i was so excited, it was almost a given in an open world fame but still, nothing gives me more joy in games then map exploration and seeing it drawn out
Especially if they make it so that it gets more details as we go. Having a crude map to make into an embellished atlas would be perfect for the adventurer in me.
As someone with a low skill ceiling for a lot of games, especially ones that require hair-trigger fine-motor skills, hearing that careful prep can make it playable is wonderful
@@gekolvr0734 ah yes sekiro is just really hard and there's not much you can do other than having very fast reflexes. But the other souls games can be manageable with summons and overlevelling

Even if it's just open world Dark Souls with Sekiro elements, it'll still be 10/10.
it's going to be my ideal game too my friend
@@meyes5671 More like 100/10.
Seems like a hardcore breathe of the wild with souls-like elements. It’s my type of game.
@@bigsmall2842 It's definitely my type of game too, although a lot of games are my type of game xD. Only things I don't really like are rts games, sports games and racing games.
So, I really try to avoid hyping myself up for games, especially after so many high profile failures. But From Software is I think the only developer that I still have faith in. Really hope it turns out good.
If From lets everyone down its all over for the video game industry.
And platinum
Nah i trust the people who made the dark souls lol, this is going to be an insane game for sure. Mad excited
I'm not hype. Had my heart broken too many times 😭
I think From Soft has a great track record. CD Projekt Red did not, Witcher 1 & 2 were flops and Witcher 3 was buggy on release, and doesn't have the most fluid gameplay. People expected too much out of Cyberpunk because they marketed it so heavily.
This feels like a strange culmination of each of Fromsoft’s games, brought into this single open world. It’s fascinating.
@Joske Vermeulen I don't think he's done creating but we might not see souls for awhile
@Joske Vermeulen sekiro ended on a cliffhanger.
And that’s exactly what I was hoping for with the open world, make the time between saves much longer, making fights in the open world very risky, but a necessity at times.
Don’t forget the Pokémon, they added Pokémon, kind of a deal maker

Before all those announcements I was kinda hoping they would go another direction with the world design: full on metroidvania, with traversal abilities also useful in combat
@@jakubpuawski3875 it certainly has potential, to me the most worrying aspect is the spirits as they said to include it into your build.... I don't like this very much
@@jakubpuawski3875 you could just make your build not included those.
4:08 “Skills can be _FREELY_ assigned to many weapons.” Knowing Miyazaki, “freely” means you’ll have to trek up an optional mountain of glass, barefoot, and then defeat a gorilla-succubus at the top to get a key which unlocks a chest atop a different mountain made of poison sludge which holds a device that lets you reassign skills to different weapons for 75,000 “Ring Echoes” per swap.

@@plackt ea sports: it's in the game
Look at Insomniac games and their franchises. They have been putting out bangers since the PS2 days. Each of their game is a clear improvement to the last one in the franchise. They don’t downgrade their games, no false promises or micro transactions. Insomniac is a pretty underrated studio.
I wonder if the 'Ring' in Elden Ring actually refers to the open world, made up of 6 realms, all surrounding the God Tree at its center.
Then the fracturing of the ring might refer to each of these 6 realms being cut off from one another, and thus from the God-Tree itself,
which results in those connected to/relying on the God-Tree's power going mad, their lands falling to ruin as they are in a way, in withdrawal-
disconnected from the power of the ring as a whole, and the God-tree at its center.
This would then create a reason for the tarnished, those who were previously connected to the God-Tree/Ring and lost that connection,
labeled tarnished for lacking the gold luster of the God-Tree and exiled by those who maintained that connection,
to return to the fractured land and fight- as they already suffered through ring-withdrawal and have again learned to function with their humanity intact-
in a mission to connect each of the 6 realms and thus reconnect the God-Tree itself to the ring of realms surrounding it.
Just speculation.
@@EresirThe1st World order could refer both to the physical world and the metaphysical and political world.

Disabling horse from PVP is probably because they don't want to have players run halfway over the map fighting.
Can you imagine?
“I’ve almost won, just one more hit… and now he’s on a horse… *cries in pvp*”
yeah that probably was the reason, although it would have been fun to do jousting matches with other players
@@enricorossi5584 yeah, having some semblance of an "arena" for mounted combat would be nice. Im still hyped for it nonethelss, mounted pvp or not.
If you invade in dark souls and the host doesn't have any phantoms they will often try to run to the nearest fog gate or hide somewhere.
Imagine if they also had a horse.

If ymfah and ray dimitri were to collab, that power couple wouldn't need to meet any bosses and just jump straight to the ending.
The sheer amount of hidden/not obvious, routes, story, items, quests etc just in DS3 was amazing....this is going to be crazy deep.
It really sounds like a game you can put hundreds of ours in and not see everything.
Just think about dark souls 1, the game is as old as it is, and were still finding out new things about it.
Now imagine that in Elden Ring.
If elden ring is good enough, which is really likely, it will probably cause me to overlook the witch queen expansion for destiny 2, which I am hyped for.
Oh it's Big Dark Souls. Thing is BIg Dark Souls is all I wanted. Had a feeling that George came up with the Tarnished idea. Miyazaki's ideas are usually apocalyptic "save what's left of the world" stories and even he was getting frustrated with that, so, being enterprising, he hired a man with different interests, namely in the life of a knight who's fallen from grace, and applied that. Looking at it it's a really smart move. The fact that most of these bosses are looking down on you from the start is a hell of a motivation to prove them wrong.
Literally was just discussing this with my girlfriend. It's the opposite of the usual aspirations in Miyazaki's stories having George set this up makes it a million times more meaningful to me. I needed a game about survival and fighting on through hell when DS1 came out. Now I need something that empowers my budding confidence as an adult. The souls saga really resonates with my life and makes me so thankful.
Don't get your hopes up too high. Given Miyazaki's recent history this is likely to be a twitch reflex game with little build variety and penalties for defensive play like BB and Sekiro. Miyazaki hates Poise with a burning passion now. Though if you like BB, I guess you're set.
@@WUZLE did you even watch this video? Where its explained we will have more build depth than ever???? Are you alright buddy?
@@collinrobbin I'll believe it when I see it. When you get burned repeatedly, you get cautious.
@@WUZLE bruh actin like it’s physically hurt you lmao😂
This genuinely feels like a game that might benefit from a "Chalice Dungeon" mode that will let you continue exploring randomly generated dungeons, even after you've cleared most of the content of the game. Open world gameplay is great, but sooner or later you run out of places to go. A DLC that grants that kind of mode would add a lot of replayability to it.
Would honestly be interested in hearing what GRRM's experience was like in trying to build the world for this game.
There is a recent interview on TH-cam somewhere
Apparently, he did most of the work (writing) years ago but the game takes time to develop so he's been giving feedback to bits that the devs have been sending him over the years.
In a nutshell, it could be described as, "indefinitely flouting your literary obligations to your legions of fans"
@Shin Shaman Cool story bro, go spend your money elsewhere then. No one gives a shit what you think.
Would honestly be interested in reading the freaking Winds Of Winter. CMON GEORGE

This game is the most blatant with its Berserk inspiration so far.
Was just thinking this. I've been reading Berserk for the first time since before Miura's death (RIP) and am finally noticing the incredible amount of inspiration it had on the souls series
i hope there is tribute for kentaro miura in this game, he deserves it
yeah it's got an even more creative with the designs, and I really like that they took it all the way to 11 this time.

I'm hoping Elden Ring has a some major variety in magic: Heck, new setting means new magic altogether which I am super excited for as a mage player. Can't wait to see what new power awaits.
Saaame I really want to mess around with magic and hope it's more complex than dark souls magic abilities
With you on that im of the dragon school mage bro
As a melee only player, I'm very happy to hear that we'll be able to assign weapon arts to any weapon, and we'll have a jump button with some aerial combat in the mix. This looks like the perfect souls game.
I bet you're more than satisfied. Magic is unbelievable in this game!
@@awaishssn Oh, very much so. Magic is the best it has been in terms of variety and viability. No spell has been left behind and I am still finding new ones slowly but surely. Across multiple specialized characters and that list is growing, I have found a lot: the search for magical strength is ongoing, but with all the attunement you can get, you can be an incredibly varied and formidable mage indeed.
To see how far along we've come, from Demon Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Sekiro. All building blocks to lead to something every fan, new or older can come to enjoy the artwork, the styles, the themes, the mechanical elements, the encounters, and inner worlds of such beautiful minds. I am intrigued and inspired by this progress that has been harvested! Such a profound thing to call ourselves "gamers". Moments like this touches that thing, that dark soul within us all🌌
@Shin Shaman It seems you have yet to become blessed with our understanding and enthusiasm for a series so beloved. But then, you don't want insight, do you? If you aren't into these forms of games, why do you waste your time here making a comment on it? We shall enjoy and revel in euphoria; to the rhythm of dying over and over, and to the struggle we endure.
@Shin Shaman cyberpunk punk flop must have hit you real hard bruh i hope you recover
@Shin Shaman just say you couldnt beat Ornstein and smough and went hollow already, no need for that angry paragraph.
Feels like FromSoftware knows what they do really well, knows how to stick to it and keep the scope under control (Miyazaki's comments strike me by how much he tempers things like the stealth, where he points out that it will be limited). Or the comment about bustling villages not being their specialty. Stark contrast to CDPR's fiasco. Super looking forward to this.
Miyazakison is a humble guy
I like that he said that villages arent his speciality so they didnt do it, this company has respect for the stuff they make
Wasn't the CDPR scenario the fault of the company executives, not the development team director?
@@yemmohater2796 Yep, the execs rushed the devs (who are talented and deserved more time)
@@yemmohater2796 The scenario was lack of focus, engine rewrite halfway through development and multiple changes in leadership. CDPR was known for being an organizational clusterfuck to people who paid attention to the Witcher. Lead dev for W3 quit dev alltogether due to stress and literally went off to a buddhist monastery.
I think this is my favourite youtube channel. When it's not analysing the games or covering news, it's conducting really interesting art competitions and showcasing some beautiful ass work.
Agreed on all counts.
Needing to mark the map yourself is one of my favourite parts of all this so far. I want to explore the world myself, without guidance, and I'm glad Fromsoft is making that a major part of the game. Map markers telling you where to go aren't exactly something I'm a fan of
Usually From games don't even have maps at all, so I wouldn't be worried about intrusive map markers.
Can't wait to find the moonlight greatsword in this game. It will definitely look beautiful makes me delighted to have a series x

Imagine all the builds, a rider type character that preforms best on a horse, a summoner caster/healer
this makes me sosoos excited damn
Edit: should have said:
I DOUBT YOU COULD EVEN Imagine all the builds, a rider type character that preforms best on a horse, a summoner caster/healer OF THE THING THAT COMMANDED POT BOI
this makes me sosoos excited damn
A pot boi summon only build lets go !
Miyazaki has stated a multitude of times that the horse is not a main focus of the game. In all the leaked footage, including actually released trailers, there's only been one swing animation shown on horseback which is kind of depressing.
@@pwd1134 all redeemed if the horse got balls like rdr2
give me idea's for new ''point down'' to dishonorable miserable hollows
0:06 That did not age well. A lot of skills aren't exclusively locked to one weapon, but that one - Bloodhounds Finesse - is unfortunately.
New Players to G.R.R. Martin & Miyazaki: So the game is going to be easy right?
Martin & Miyazaki: 6:15 “The Lannister send their regards”
You mean journalist players lol
@@MrSwitchblade327 he could or maybe he's talking potential new players (which would be good for the community to have some fresh blood)

With the spirit summon mechaninc, I'm gonna name my Potboy Pedro and he'll be my best friend troughout the game. Even is he is just there for moral support and is one of the ''useless'' spirits Zaki talked about, as soon as I learn how the mechanic works I'll go find one
You'll probably need him for the hardest boss
He's gonna have some OP hidden mechanic that Limit Breakers finds 3-4 years down the road.
Oh my god fromsoftware has seen the comunity do pacifist runs so they added a feature so you can actually do them offline without breaking the game!! How cool is that?!!
?
What do you mean?
@@QuantumFishFTW @Dinky pacifist runs challange runs where the player character does not deal any damage. Instead you summon npcs or friends or randoms that kill the enemies for you while you try to keep them alive with aoe heals
@@molloz98 wow
I'm so proud of vaati, don't know him never met him but had been a subscriber back when his videos weren't as popular and seeing him grow just makes me so happy, the fact that he's always so dedicated, dude wish we could grab a beer you seem like such a great person.
they nerfed gravity, now maybe prod won’t die as much
If you had the cat ring in dark souls then gravity wouldnt matter
exactly what I thought when I heard that, but we all know gravity WILL kill us the most still
Prod will find a way
@Shin Shaman Well, the thing about games is that no one forces you to buy them. I've bought and played all the Dark Souls games and never regretted it... so your opinion matters not to me.
@Shin Shaman "the same garbage from puts out every year"
Lol wut, they don't pump these out every 10 months like they do with Fifa or COD games.
Tell me, if Elden Ring looks like "generic overrated garbage", what kind of games do YOU like?
Holy shit, Michael Zaki made Dark Souls 3 JoJo mod canon.
i was thinking the same thing with the summon lol
somebody has to make a JoJo group and everybody in it names their summons like stands
From should get Vaati to cameo in one of their future games. He's got the right vocal cadence for it, that focused, slightly sinister whisper.
He just needs to add a sense of being completely doomed and broken by the horrors of the world around him, for which he may need to move to Britain.
While I think that sounds cool on its face, ultimately it would be a terrible thing to do. Forever, anyone playing Elden Ring would be taken out of the game upon hearing his voice.
@@protatype7487 I wasn't being completely serious with that suggestion, but since you mention it I don't think it would be a game-breaker as you believe. It never bothered me hearing Peter Serafinowicz in DS 2 for example. A small cameo for Vaati in a small role isn't going to rupture the fabric of the gameworld.
Don't forget the sinister laugh that trails off the end of every sentence. Heh heh heh.

I suppose it’s a difference in personal philosophies then, no big deal.
Was listening to the Firelink Shrine song from 1 just now. I hope ER keeps some of that haunting yet tranquil atmosphere instead of everything being super epic and flashy

*Dragonslayer Armour Bonfire flashback*
..of course
Dude those ENEMIES after the Dragonslayer Armour to reach the grand archives are by far harder than the boss dont ya think
man I spent months trying to get from the Dragonslayer armour bonfire to the grand archives but it's just to difficult. Although that's a bit of an extreme example I'm not sure they could possibly create a harder challenge then that in Elden ring.
(SPOILERS)
It's so hard even one of the black hand died in front of the bonfire and dropped the key
@@sourlessfix9109 yeah like that one Titanite chunk! That thing beat the shit out of me even before laying my eyes on it.
@@Drewdignity yee
When you said the a fillable map is confirmed i was so excited, it was almost a given in an open world fame but still, nothing gives me more joy in games then map exploration and seeing it drawn out
Especially if they make it so that it gets more details as we go. Having a crude map to make into an embellished atlas would be perfect for the adventurer in me.
As someone with a low skill ceiling for a lot of games, especially ones that require hair-trigger fine-motor skills, hearing that careful prep can make it playable is wonderful
I wonder to what degree. It appears to be an easier game than other From titles, but I'm not sure.
@@Artaxerxes. my hands are strong af but not fast, so it was an exercise in pure frustration. I just wasn't born with much fast-twitch muscle
careful prep can make the other souls games playable too
@@santiagocaraballo4116 i was talking specifically about sekiro, I had to return the game :(
@@gekolvr0734 ah yes sekiro is just really hard and there's not much you can do other than having very fast reflexes. But the other souls games can be manageable with summons and overlevelling
Can’t wait to get kicked off a ledge by Patches again!
I can't wait to having to navigate a massive open world swamp!
