Just starting the vid. Just want to say thank you in advance. I have a perfectly healthy obsession with this game as a whole. PC: 2300 hrs Xbox series S: 890 And some on my friends Xbox as well. I don’t know why I am so drawn to this world in particular but I just love going through every step to acquire every available rune. I haven’t replayed a game with this much enjoyment after my 10th, 11th, 12th etc…new game plus since Metal Gear 2 and 3. Keep up the good work. 🎉
I appreciate it! I love the world of Elden Ring and pretty much everything FromSoftware crafts honestly! It's definitely a good one to be obsessed with!
Taliesin's Map on TH-cam is a very interesting comparative mythologist and his video on the primordial deity of the Indo-European traditions is relevant. The video on Surtr and the Purusha. A relevant video is the one on Dyaus-Pitr, which is a sort of Cosmic rebis The idea is basically that the pre-differentiated cosmos was a being of fire, ice, and void, and that the Cosmic Whole separated itself from the Primordial Void and became the unseparated Heavens and Earth What Surtr or the Purusha seem to represent is a primordial destructive flame coming to destroy the differentiated order, and this has resonance in cosmic terms, personal psycho/enlightenment terms (Most notable in the Hindu Tradition), and perennial terms where the Purusha and his equivalents in the other Indo-European traditions represent the yearly cycle, or perhaps cyclicality as a whole Cyclicality being an overarching theme in the related Norse Ragnarok theme as I've referred to earlier It seems likely to me that Elden Ring syncretizes these Western traditions with the Japanese Shinto concepts, it's not outside the realm of possibility since Miyazaki is legitimately an esotericist or perennialist of some sort. Well read in comparative mythology and mysticism
@@noctugal The more I learn about comparative mythology the more I learn about Elden Ring It's likely the most mythologically dense game ever created and I don't know how You're free to highlight my comments in videos if you want
Cannon ending in my eyes 😤
