Oh, dear, another dogged contender.Welcome, Tarnished One, purloiner of Runes.Mind you, the mantle of Elden Lord interests me none. The Erdtree's Curse, the legacy of lords, let it all fade into nothing.You’ve done quite enough, now have your rest.
>>730631449bussy
I'm still mad Miyazaki not only cucked us with MIquella being evil, but that also killed St. Trina.
>>730631775He should have had a quest line like Ranni or at least the option to speak to him.
>>730631775writing was already on the wall with the bewitching branch imoalso the specific mention of "unalloyed" gold as miquella's personal metal"unalloyed" meaning pure gold and showing vanity or an ego
>>730631775>>730631937Fromsoft doing their Fromsoft thing. They're bad storytellers and lack the soul to make the experience any good. All they know is to kill next thing and that's pretty much it. No art, no substance just bonk the boss until it's dead oh and here's a lifeless Reddit doll to gush about for some reason btw.
>>730631775>also killed St. Trina.Same. He could have done so much with her in a future sequel, like a second dream world map were she is like Marika. It would have been fucking awesome.
Hmm, today I think I shall summon Sirris of the Sunless Realms so that I can fight an ordinary Hollow. Wish me luck!
>>730632121Yeah I guess if you do ignore all the evidence to the contrary it would seem that way. The game's world is full of stories, it's just told in the environment.
>>730631449PLAP PLAP PLAP PLAP PLAP PLAP GET PRENGANT GET PREGNANT GET PREGNANTPLAP PLAP PLAP PLAP PLAP PLAP
>>730632229Miyazaki forgot to give her enough dex to wield her estoc
>>730632518It doesn't work in a world where calamities like a meteor is negated by a well-timed roll
>>730632890Is elden ring your first videogame ever?
>>730631449Souls games have cute girls in them?
>>730632949>girl
>>730632939It's the first video game where I can finish it naked with a club, so it's hard to treat seriously like you pretentious faggots do
>>730632802Wouldn't be fuckin surprised.
>>730632949Yes, but that's not one of them.
>>730633064>It's the first video game where I can finish it naked with a club,Congratulations. So you were just looking for opportunities to brag. I can relate.I still think that's kind of pathetic though.
>>730632991>>730633113okay what about actual females who are cute
>>730633123Your """story""" is shit and its characters are pretentious slow-talking faggots (with literal faggots lmao) too. That's the point
>>730631449Go on...
>>730633295Behold.
>>730633452Meant for >>730633279
>>730633452I'm physically unable to look at Ranni with a straight face anymore. Her character design stands out like a sore thumb compared to literally everything else in the game. Her big dumb hat and giant dress with a bunch of frills make her look like a Touhou character, even next to other waifubait characters in ER she looks like she's from an entire different game.Also with the ghost face and all she looks overdesigned like some 3rd rate vtuber, I bet the designer who drew her was some autistic otaku who I imagine basically socially pressured everyone else to go "uhh yeah she doesn't look bad I guess" because criticism is rude in Japan and she made it into the game through the force of his autism alone
>>730633295It's not my story, and anyone who uses 'pretentious' without sarcasm is a moron.
I love this little guy like you would not believe, i maxed him out to 10 first thing and always bring him in my adventures. He does this little yelp when he see enemies which is based as fuck.>cost almost no mana to cast>will lob spells from range and take heat off you >quite tanky
>>730633564Okay, what about this loser then? She cute too.
>>730633640Says the moron easily captivated by """world-building""" that can't even match GTA San Andreas' amount of "world building"Suck a dick FromDrone
>>730633564so ranni upsetted you, but not blaidd? She was a shardbearer and every single of them are overdesigned
>>730631775Should have fought him in his normal and St'trina form at least once. I didn't need radahn 2
>>730633847If you add more quotations you might convince me it's poorly done.I've always been interested in alchemy. Elden Ring knows exactly what it's doing, and that alone is impressive.
I was extremely disappointed when they didn't get Gwyndolin's/Lothric's voice actor to voice Miquella. Instead they got a generic boring woman. Cowards. Femboys should be voiced by MEN
>>730633921you'd be surprised how many people don't get that elden ring's path to godhood is the four pop-culture steps of alchemy
It's funny how retards here keep forgetting that it's a Japanese gameIt'll just have more and more Japanese flashy anime shit in it in the future games
>>730633452cute i will now get filtered by your game
>>730633564I know this is old copy pasta but Ranni is an eyesore. It looks like generative AI made her but in a bad way. We will never get a good waifu in these games unless the director abandons his vague story phase and doll fetish all together.
>>730633921Again, made moot with a naked guy with a club. Immersion immediately ruined.Point is, it's shit, like the original >>730632121 said
>>730633996I'm not surprised at all. /v/ especially is really good at ignoring things and not learning anything.Souls games are the epitome of "a picture is worth a thousand words".
>>730633564>implying it wasn't Miyazaki who approved the design of RanniDude, she even has a proper ending and you can also marry her. You can tell Miyazaki loves her big dumb hat, literally in every game he does someone wear a stupid big dumb hat.
>>730633997Japanese games usually have narratives and memorable characters. Soulsbornes have none of that and instead are mindless kill sims closer to Bethesdaslop or sandboxes than any JRPG.
>>730634215>literally in every game he does someone wear a stupid big dumb hat.The bigger the hat, the more powerful the wizard. It's an unspoken law, a measurement.
>>730634241>Soulsbornes have none of that>solaire>patches>siegward>even despite elden ring having bloated npc/bosses, they are still immortalized more than most rpgs you played
>>730634292I like how in DS3 you have two Crystal Sages who wear big hats and claim to be disciples of Logan, missing that Logan wore a big hat because he's antisocial and doesn't like talking to people.
>>730634472All of those aren't as iconic nor well known than most FF nor Nier characters. Even Bethesdaslop characters like Nazeem get more mentions in the normie sphere than them.
Witches should always have stupidly large, floppy hats
>>730634472NTA but all of those characters are just one-note side characters. Calling Solaire, Patches, or Siegward "characters" is like calling the old shop guy from Ninja Gaiden a character, or the Merchant from RE4 a character. They're just digital puppets with quirky personalities. Set dressing. Not even bare minimum effort for the average RPG, Japanese or Western
>>730634695Witches should always have stupidly large, floppy dicks
>>730634695Witches should have moderately large hats and stained pants
>>730631449So we can all agree they're gay incestuous lovers right? I need to confirm so my future yaoi commission could be considered canon
>>730634695yeah!
>>730635006It literally couldn't be more explicit, you dumb fuck>HEY Y'ALL, BUFFALO BILL WAS A TRANNY, RIGHT?
Best ending, let those fucking cunt whores and bitches fucking burn, be better next time sluts, peace FSSSS
>>730631775Name a single thing he did that was actually evil
>>730636060Didn't take his sister with him to the shadow realm, just left her at the bottom of a sewerDidn't have the decency to offer himself to the Tarnished after he kills Radahn
>>730635203https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuN6gs0AJls
>>730634484DS3 has a lot of little things like that, where tradition is passed on and over time lore gets twisted and misinterpreted. Like the Abyss watchers fighting like Artorias even though Artorias only fought like that because he was hunched over with a broken arm from being fucked up by the abyss.
>>730636823the abyss watchers fight like Hollows™
>>730635203
>>730637585Haha burn fucking bitch look everything is toasted hahaIf you don't like it like close your eyes I mean eye nigger haha like turn away (and inhale all those ashes lol)
we all know nepheli is the proper choice for the tarnished
>>730638746Boring mopey bitch who does nothingI'd take Roderika, she's the same thing but at least she's cute.If it weren't for the ancient dragon smithing stone, nobody would do Nepheli's shit quest more than once.
>>730638746I did choose herI choose her to become a puppet for my pleasure
>>730633835I can't read these moon runes
Delicious
>>730639184>extroverted>appears like 5 times, only if you rest a site of grace, only in specific onesThe nigger that drew that pic didn't played the game
>>730639405>anon doesn't understand the concept of a joke
>>730639405How many other people are going out of their way to talk to me? Most of them just sit around until I bug them.
>>730639580>How many other people are going out of their way to talk to me?Ranni, when she gives you the spirit calling bell.
>>730632178>future sequel didn't they confirm Elden Ring is a one off and will have no further games?I know for a fact Miyazaki did say they'd never do a game as big as Elden Ring again
>>730639664What? You only get the bell by going out of your way to meet her at the ruins and talk to her first.
>>730638967Both of them look like golems in game.
>>730639665>I know for a fact Miyazaki did say they'd never do a game as big as Elden Ring againI hope soAs much as I loved ER overall, the quality clearly suffered in order to fill such a big mapI hope the next game has ER combat but with a return to earlier games' level design.
>>730639728>going out of your way to meet her at the ruinsYOU don't 'meet' her, there's nothing telling you to go there. She knows you'll end up there, and SHE appears to meet you. She even speaks without you initiating the conversation.
>>730639750I hope he means empty spots and ad tedium boss fights and not content. He still needs to work with more content regardless of size ngl. ER felt worse than bare minimum when it comes to a rpg.
>>730639749Roderika looks like a typical English peasant but golem is a bit much
>>730639848The entire series is action RPG, what 'content' are you looking for? Fishing minigame?
>>730639907More towns, npcs, options to speak to them, and actual concrete quest lines. I wouldn't mind another linear world. Just give me more purpose to care about the world, goddamnit.
>>730636292>Didn't take his sister with him to the shadow realm, just left her at the bottom of a sewerHe was kidnapped by mohgit's only after that he bewitched him. He might have just planned to go grab malenia once he ascended
>>730639462the prerequisite for a joke is that is has to be funnyJust stating something ironically it's not "a joke"
>>730640012Well now she's dead
>>730639907There's like only 10 total quests, all of them are convulted with no real clear follow up, with NPCs jumping spots randomly in a fuckhuge map that makes them impossible to trackThis is undeniable and factually true
>>730640313not in my run :)
>>730640325I agree with that, by 'content' I thought you were one of the retards who went in expecting ER to be Skyrim just because it's open world.
>>730640371You'll get her one day champThen you'll try her sword for 30 seconds before tossing it in the pile and forgetting about it
>>730640449I can beat her, I just only kill those who need to be killed or would harm the lands betweenSo Morgott, Renala even though she stays alive and Rykard cause he's a psychoI'd kill Ranni if I could but you can't touch miyazaki"s golden girl so all I can do is leave radahn alive to cuck her and miquella
>>730631775>n-NO, you don't understand. the bewitching branch just meant he was really charming. the suicide troops were just that rizzed up
>>730640325thats the case for every soulslike for quests, its a defining feature of the genre.
>>730640398I'm not that anon, I though there was plenty of "content", like there's a gazillion dungeonsThe problems is the rewards make them 99% trashAnd no quests makes it less of an RPG (in my eyes)I rather play a game that has no customization but has 100 quests, than playing a game that has 100 degrees of customization and 1 quest, I think the former is much more an RPG
>>730640564I'd say Godrick is evil and Radahn deserves to be put to restBut achieving any ending without killing the fire giant is impossible, and he dindu nuffin
>>730640564You can kill ranni just fine>>730635203
>>730636060He left all of his compelled followers to spend their lives guarding a rotting and useless tree.
>>730640686Same with with beast shadow dude that guards the death runeI'll just rather make him keep it, I don't even know what you need to kill him
>>730640698Melina doesn't die in the Frenzy ending, no reason to expect Ranni wouldn't either.
>>730640656The genre should step it up and add more shit to do or else it will be stagnant as hell.
>>730640698I'd bet on her surviving the frenzied flame ending considering melina does. And killing the entire world just to kill her defeats the purpose
>>730640698I didn't get to stomp on her lifeless corpse.
>>730640778There's two interpretationsEither she's a cunt and wanted a cinematic final word, but WILL be burned just the same, like the MCOr she doesn't die, and actually is saying something she will do (find the MC and kill him) which means I can have a chance for a 1v1 and personally destroy her cunt with my bare handsI would love thatEither way, she's getting killed and it's being a bitchy drama queen
>>730640797>considering melina does.see>>730640873tl:dr: Elder ring is process death when her cinematic pops, doesn't mean she's the sole survivor, and if she is and her threat is real, it means the MC is also a survivor.She'll die.
>>730640819Dolls are a protected class in Fromsoft games for no reason but being a fetish for Miyahackzi.
>>730640564>I can beat her, I just only kill those who need to be killed or would harm the lands betweenMalenia let off a nuke in Caelid, killing countless and likely destroying that environment forever.
>>730640819there's legitimately something wrong with you.
>>730640975>, it means the MC is also a survivor.You're taken over by the flame when the erdtree burnsEven if your body remains, your soul is already dead
>>730636823Most of the Silver Knights are also Hollows in Dark Souls 3 (take extra damage from Hollowslayer Greatsword). I think there are some that don't. The Black Knights are still the OGs and don't take extra damage.
>>730641049You could do that scene with Maiden in Black and Firekeeper but why not Ranni who deserved it more than the former two who were innocent slaves.
>>730641054You can cope it like that, sure, but why make a threat to a corpse then? Makes no sense.
>>730641157The black knights are the ones who got burned in the kiln so it's more likely that they're just animated armor
>>730641247she's making a threat to shabriri who has taken over your corpseit's not that hard
>>730641049I stomped and emoted on Fia when she died for like 10 minutesNot that anon btw
>>730641293>she's making a threat to shabririlool wtf We are discussing the game here bro, get back to the reddit wikifan
>>730641293Shabriri is just another follower of the frenzy flame, there's no reason why he would be given your body when he achieves nothing. If anything you should be granted the body jacking power as well.
>>730641394that nigger making his own canon as he playsrespect
>>730631775Miquella was the good guy, you were the villain.>>730632121From are fantastic storytellers and you are an illiterate retard faggot.>>730640642Yes, that's literally the lore, actually.
>>730640313Actually she's probably not dead even if you beat her.
>>730641552>You can totally kill ranni bro>S-Stop making your headcanon!!!Glass houses and all of that
>>730641568>From are fantastic storytellers>>730640325
>>730640778Melina doesn't die in the frenzied flame ending because she's literally a ghost who died centuries ago
>>730641618>You can totally kill ranni broAccording to frenzied flame you can, my retarded friendThe nigger ameba brains saying "huh no huh ackshually she survives..." is the fanmade headcanon delusion
>>730641630You not liking their quest game design because it doesn't lead you around by the nose like Skyrim doesn't have anything to do with the quality of their storytelling.
>>730641615She's dead and if a baby Malenia gets shit out of that flower then she's getting dropped off the edge of Siofra
>>730641665Two interpretations.
>>730641698According to the frenzied flame that is literally contradicted by Melina being alive?I'm amazed you have the ability to even type on a keyboard with such a limited intellect
>>730641568>From are fantastic storytellers and you are an illiterate retard faggot.
>>730641705>If the quest design is bad and the NPC hops around randomly that means the quest design is fantastic storytelling???
>>730641732>Ends up in the lake of rotI'm sure this is gonna work out great bro
>>730641665Yet she has a physical form if you summon her to fight Margaret and she interacts with physical objects like the steed whistleShe has the ability to dissolve into particles to teleport but so does Ranni
>>730641787Malenia isn't immune to scarlet rot, and hopefully the splash wakes up the outer god of rot and it eats her.
>>730641749>Melina is alive>THAT M-MEANS MY W-WAIFU RANNI IS ALSO ALIVE SURELY!!!Fanmade delusion and non-canon
>>730641793>Yet she has a physical form if you summon her to fight Margaret and she interacts with physical objects like the steed whistleHer spirit was tuned by Marika just like Roderika tunes dozens of spirits for you. That's why she can only physically manifest at graces or near the erdtree.
>>730641884I asked Miyazaki and he said I was rightAlso I'm not a fan
Can we agree that they're good at designing without Miyazaki's influence holding them down. He needs to retire and give the reigns to Yamamura already.
>>730641862Not only is Malenia immune to the scarlet rot, she IS the rot.
>>730641950Then I guess I'll tune spirit Ranni back into a doll body since I'm the new lord
>>730641749Imagine your little doll waifu just burning aliveImagine your little doll waifu just starting to burn, and being unable to run, to disappear or even to dodge death now that the rune of death is no longer sealedImagine her in her little doll body boiling alive, being made of wood accelerating the flames
>>730641785The quest design has nothing to do with the quality of the story dipshit. Not that the quest design is bad.
>>730641884>T-THE FRENZIED FLAME WOULDN'T LIE TO ME EVEN THOUGH IT LITERALLY DOESEnough. I will bite your bait no longer
>>730641995You can defeat her using nothing but scarlet rot in-game, nigger
>>730637585>briefly saw melina's cutscene after frenzy flame ending somewhere online>had a mandela effect moment where I conflated summoning her against morgott with her having an NPC boss fight after him>did a frenzy playthrough>it ends>no fight>fugI still can't decide if that scene is cut content or sequel bait.
>>730636060Mind ControlRapeIndirectly responsible for Malenia's war crimesUnnatural acts with a corpseWanted to control everyone>>730641568Even his other half admitted that Miquella had to be stopped, if only to save him from himself.
>>730642027Not after you sacrificed your mind and soul to the eternal flames of killing everything forever you won't.
>>730642030They need to show it at least. Japs are fucking cowards.
>>730642116>you sacrificed your mind and soulShabriri was a loyal follower and still retained his mind and sense of self, why wouldn't the Tarnished?
>>730638746They're really cute in the manga, all the girls are. I'm hopeful he'll save Millicent and Melina, it would fit the comedic tone (Godric survived after all).
>>730642107>Mind ControlOnly for good>RapeHe was raped, not rapist>Indirectly responsible for Malenia's war crimesHe specifically told her not to do that>Unnatural acts with a corpseDone by literally everyone in the land's between. Ansbach is just salty that Miquella spurned Mohg, even though he had every reason to do so.>Wanted to control everyoneThey should be>>730642107>Even his other half admitted that Miquella had to be stopped, if only to save him from himself.If Miquella wants to sacrifice his ability to change his mind about his path in order to become a permanent savior god spirit for the world, that's his choice, and the opinions of idiot roasty tulpas are irrelevant. At least it's canon that Trina's ramblings are not your motivation, but merely the fact that Miquella picked another lord and thus was a rival.
They are taking their time with that Tarnished Edition update, I wonder if its just because the Switch is shit and they are busy optimising the game or if the update grew into something more substantial.
>>730642223Shabriri is a demon and was probably never a person in the first place.
>>730642231Is the manga official and paid by Bandai or is it backed by one autist like with 2hu?
>>730642292A literal jew demon.
>>730642279>I wonder if its just because the Switch is shitIt is. They literally can't get it to run. They had a demo and it was a disaster. The hardware just isn't up to snuff even with DLSS out the ass. I would not be surprised if they end up cancelling it.
>>730641958>>730642048Go to>>730642030That is the end of your waifu"She must be alive somehow I think!" is pure delusionShe's coal broCrispy
>>730642292Maybe following the three fingers is what made him a demonMaybe the tarnished becomes a demon too, and that demon chooses to save his little doll wife he traps in a jar while she pouts about not being able to go to the moon
>>730642249We get it anon, you want to stick your cock in Miquella's twink ass. You niggers are worse than Ranni apologists, at least their fuck toy's holes haven't been blown out by Radahn's 5 inch diameter cock.
>>730642279The trailer used in-game footage and it looked pretty rough, and there are areas of the game much more demanding than what they showed off. I sincerely doubt there's going to be any major content additions outside of maybe a couple light new greatsword variants so you don't just have a single one until you reach the DLC.
>>730642391
>>730642391They should have an in-game cutscene where she burns up or dies horrifically. She needs to suffer for her war crimes too.
>>730642413>We get it anon, you want to stick your cock in Miquella's twink ass.Miquella has no ass, is not capable of romantic love, and grew into a hungry skeleton. He would be a very poor catamite.
>>730642391This would have been kino if Fromsoft weren't cowards and simps for poochie the doll.
>>730642249>>Mind Control>Only for goodnot possible>>Rape>He was raped, not rapistsimply not true>>Unnatural acts with a corpse>Done by literally everyone in the land's between.'other criminals exist' is not a defense
>>730642391rannifags on suicide watch
people that sperg out over the lore of these games are cringe as fuck.I'm a little nigga running through a world killing gods. I don't know, or give a fuck what their backstory is. I just want to kill them.
>>730642391I prefer the woodchipper ending.
>>730642669Yeah, that's what Frenzied Flame is for.But then you get niggers like in this thread saying "N-no my goddess waifu d-din't die ok!"
>>730642697Oh I like that as well, it's a nice endingWith the big doll if possible, that will take longer
>>730642307I'm pretty sure this is official which makes it even funnier.
I like Ranni torture. I wish there was more art of that shit character getting killed. I hope someone draws her getting punched in the face leaving her more disfigured than she already is.
>>730642510>She needs to suffer for her war crimes toowomen don't face the consequences of their actions
>>730642615>>>Mind Control>>Only for good>not possibleIt is when you erase the parts of your own personality that could lead you to exploit people>>He was raped, not rapist>simply not trueYes, it is, he was kidnapped while in a coma and repeatedly raped while he was a asleep. Now, Mohg WAS under the effects of Miquella's charm (which activates on proximity), but it's also worth noting that he's the only character in the whole game where the charm manifested as a romantic or sexual attraction, implying premeditated intent. >>Unnatural acts with a corpse>Done by literally everyone in the land's between.>'other criminals exist' is not a defenseIt's not a crime in the lands between at all. In every ending you also do "unnatural acts with a corpse", except frenzied flame I suppose
