Such an amazing unique way of creating lore and the setting. Having someone create a rich world with history and characters only to set the plot after that worlds and characters has been destroyed lol. Genius.

Really shows how much GRRM needs to rely on other people to do his work tbh

It's not stories he likes to bask in... It's people's dreams...😅😅😢

@@jimmyrustlerzyeah honestly I can’t help but feel so much of what could’ve made Elden Ring have a good story feels so fragmented and lost. Not that lore exploration can’t be fun, but like c’mon GRRM was giving you the sauce.

​He's really quite skilled at starting good work though, kinda the perfect project for him

in reality, brexit didnt change anything. false hope and controlled opposition. britain is still a muslim colony and now it even has an indian pagan ruler. such regression.

Me too 😂😂😂😂

Might just be me, but I think the grrm aspect was all marketing.. I kind of dont believe it? Fromsoft probably had a conference call with him to get a "sounds good"

​@@ghostlightinthegreenroom Yeah. He was probably hired as one of those 'product quality managers' that just checks off on the story after glancing through it. No real input. Just a gimmick to bring the people who were busy shitting themselves to tears watching GoT at the time.

@@JoseRodriguez-eu5ezfunny enough it had the opposite effect on me, thankfully the game is still great, but I genuinely don’t really like Martin’s work. If you have ever read A Game of Thrones, you’ll understand what I mean. The story really isn’t compelling, he just adds a shit ton of pointless details to ever scene which makes it seem more thought out than it actually is. I don’t need to know what angle the character’s dong is hanging.. accounting for earth’s tilt of course.

@@steveoATL6Ah.. So, he writes like a woman. Got it.

Conceptually maybe, but the story, lore and game world is an unfinished broken mess of conflicting ideas and over ambition. As said by someone with close to 200 hours in the game now and full intent to play a lot more. It is still enjoyable but would could of been keeps nagging at you, something that could be said about anything that Martin works on.

True story

He did end up actually doing that

Legend says he still hasn't finished the book to this day.

​@@MrCarlosj0i dont think he has even started it

​@@yadielrosado8012 he's honestly pretty far into writing The Winds of Winter with steady updates about the plot I think he'll finish that one unless he dies super soon but there's likely no chance he finishes the last book A Dream of Spring

Well yea. They tried to heavily rely on online for it and copy/paste human sized models with the same rehashed skill moves. I don’t know anyone who enjoyed it more than dark souls, demon souls, or elden. Hell even PS2 games like shadow of the colossus, kings field, or Maximo were more inventive.

Yet it was still rushed

13, now. And counting. Book 7 is a pipe dream at this point.

To give you some hope (or maybe just copium) I think he’s trying to make sure he fully fleshes out his world before finishing the series. He evidently takes inspiration from Tolkien and understands that his life’s work is the world of A song of ice and fire. He seems to want to make sure he has fire and blood, dunk and egg, and his other full world contributions done before finishing his life’s work. I also imagine the bungling of the later seasons of got made him more aware of the necessity of his oversight in future film adaptation, and he has been putting in much more work overseeing hotd than he otherwise would have. Hypothetically, this all allows him to do a better and more complete job in writing the last books before the end of his working life. I’ve also heard it said that his understudy team has an even deeper knowledge of his world than he does, and I have faith that they would be able to finish his creation if he gets past his time of writing. This is all a bunch of conjecture on my part, but I do feel that he is working towards finishing his larger world and ASOIAF is going to be the overall endpoint of that. 13 years is nuts tho, hopefully he’ll get on to it eventually lol

@@evanmcdonald9134 The problem he's going to have is that a lot of people don't care about the story anymore. I read the last book over 10 years ago, have forgotten large portions of it, and have no interest in rereading them or reading any new ones by him. The guy needs to learn how to finish something.

@@evanmcdonald9134 OR he's a procrastinating hedonist and his outlook on life and storytelling precludes him from having a satisfying ending to ASOIAF, so he wastes his time writing other smaller, more manageable stories and going to conventions.

THe MoRe ShE DraNk the MoRe SHe ShaT

well it got the Dung Eater

​@@hsgame4088and the more the shat the thirstier she grew😂

Miyazaki loves his Myrish swamps

Myazaki loves his share of dung pies

8 spinoff shows. Videogames. Random other books and encyclopedias. Interviews here and there. Sounds like my first playthrough of Skyrim.

He then says that hell finish the game later and then leaves it there to play other games. Understandable if it was just a game and not actual work.

Yeah wish we got a making of elden ring documentary

tf? Before Miyazaki got involved? Swap it the other way around

I don't think even Fromsoft knows what they are doing, seeing how poorly written basically all their games are. They probably just used him for marketing

I wish fromsoft allowed behind the scenes looks it would be amazing

nah dont give him another reason to weasel out of finishing his books

​@@username.exenotfound2943books? What books? Admit it bro, winds will never see the light of day

@@username.exenotfound2943 He wouldn't have to write anything new it would just be releasing what he's already done.

no. i dont want that and it fundamentally goes against the narrative style of the souls extended universe. miyazaki based it on his childhood experience of half understanding english fantasy novels and filling up the gap with his imagination. that is what the community likes and no one wants to slap internet theorists across the face other than a bunch of new players used to the classic infodump method of telling stories.

He didn’t tho he just wrote some of the history and they used a little bit of it he didn’t write the story or anything like they he gave Miyazaki some inspiration

When they can make elden ring a $100 million dollar videogame in 5 years but martin takes 12 to write a book

It's definitely part of the soulsbourne franchise. FS even reused assets. It is technically a sequel, in that it's part of a very specific franchise/genre of games that this studio launched and popularized. 😊

Bro accidentally exposed Miyazaki's hidden fantasy. They're all connected. So all theories are true. Elden Ring is Dark Souls, and the Blood of the Dark Soul from DS3 makes Bloodborne.

​@@samf.s.7731no it's not, words have importance. Elden Ring isn't a sequel, it's a spiritual successor like Dark Souls was to Demon's Souls or Sekiro to Tenchu.

@@lahunica2726I feel you but let us dream. You can’t tell me you haven’t thought about how dark souls is about the lands of darkness. And finally bringing light to it, now pretend for a sec Elden ring IS “ds4.” The light you finally brought to the world in 3 (assuming you did the true ending) finally prospers. This whole land of the golden order comes into power, and just like anything. Too much of one thing becomes bad. This golden order became corrupted. And thus it’s up to you to bring the world back to darkness. Back to the beginning , with your demon soul 😂😂

​@@samf.s.7731 Yes. Armored core and Ace combat is also part of the same universe.

I'll take it too, although the dlc is gonna be amazing

Your wishes were heard

What are you on about 😭

​@@carythacker8049i think he meant, "if we could see the thing that George R R Martin wrote we would be able to see all of the interesting characters and places in elden ring before they were all destroyed/corrupted" but his comment is basically incoherent lmao

George is a genius yes... provided he actually finishes a project.

"genius?" Lol, dude can't even finish the Ice and Fire series. A genius could have done it years ago.

​@@RagPunkerit's almost like working on 8 spinoff shows, a videogame, other books, and having a life outside of writing his longest book yet is pretty time consuming.

​​​@@RagPunker lmao Most of kafkas work are incomplete so what he isnt a genius? Remember, Illiteracy is a choice

lol

So true lol he dint even know the name it’s not THE Elden ring it’s just elden Ring you can tell he flew to Japan once gave them like ten pages of scribble and went home thinking he’s the reason the game is so popular now

@@jessehalls3363 Lol stfu from what I’ve heard from soft were approached by Bandai and said nesislg make a souls type game and here’s the written apprenttly he wrote what happened before and Miyazaki change things after and one thing called “the Elden ring “ Diane mean anything lol

Hey, more respect to the legend

True

Except he’s nicer

He doesn’t really know about the games that’s why all he knows is that he was supposed to come up for what happened 5000 years ago for the story

Tbh it can be. In the ending of ringed city, the painter using the blood of dark souls to make a new world, it can be sekiro or elden ring. ( Also it mean Dev using experience when making dark souls to make a better game )

​@@01-aleriorayyaarifaisal91most likely bb, does two don't really fit using "the blood of the dark soul to paint a new world".

There's a theory that the Frenzied Flame ending is the prequel to the Dark Souls games. Which became later known as the first flame when everything got destroyed and everything became one for an untold amount of time.

Sequel- *a published, broadcast, or recorded work that continues the story or develops the theme of an earlier one.* Elden Ring is very much a continuation of the themes of Dark Souls. In its lore and the gameplay. George himself wrote the backstory, so obviously he'd know it's not a sequel in the traditional sense. But surely you'd agree that the Sims 3 is a sequel to the Sims 2, even if it doesn't actually continue the same story?

True but lore and visual storytelling are an important part of what makes the exploration fun and illuminating

It’s what makes the soul game’s interesting. It’s always after a big event and the world is usually dying or decaying. So the story you understand is your story but once you actually want to know more there’s a rabbit hole of information that’s connect really well. It’s almost like you in disbelief of what the world used to be like but the evidence is all around you. Even the bosses are usually in bad shape and it makes you wonder what they were in their prime when the world wasn’t decaying or dark souls. It’s a awesome feeling to see something interesting or weird and looking up the lore behind it. Also the facts it not written but people have to piece the story together Is perfect in a way.

you can defiantly play the game without knowing the lore but the moment you do it really pushes it from good game to great game.

Found the guy who can't read

tears of the kindgom is the happy version

Elden ring is very brigjt, hopeful and happy compared to bloodborne and ds3

That's why it's called Dark Fantasy bro, living in the middle ages sucked.

They are the same genre. Maybe he just got confused. He is like 80.

@@thedarklord2130 yeah I know. I'm just saying people like to use that as evidence

He means it like being a successor to dark souls, not a direct sequel.

Mate Elden Ring is basically Dark Souls 4 but worse. Its indistinguishable in its gameplay. Its Dark Souls with spirit summons, a jump button and a horse, and weaker bosses with small counter windows and long combo strings.

@@Krystalmyth it doesn't even have the same style

No

@@MaQuGo119 yes actually

I'm lucky I wasn't old enough to make the mistake of voting for brexit

Wtf

No, it’s not, I hate that people have this idea when it’s so obviously not true. Miyazaki has said multiple times that all of the series are separate, furthermore, it being a sequel does not even make sense, and completely ignores essential lore details in both series. Also, Miyazaki came out and said that the Bloodborne reference in deracine, was just an Easter egg. Stop spreading false information, it’s a separate world will separate lore and characters.

@@nightrain1121 no, I've read all interviews of miyazaki and he never denied the connections in his games (except for sekiro, where avoided the question for copyright reason). in fact he called the easter eggs about bb in déraciné as little nodes and he said that they exaggerated with them (fueling rumors about bloodborne 2). Moreover in an interview about bloodborne he randomly stated that the game shares a lot of things with painted worlds of dark souls (answering out of context when asked about the interconnection of the map). if you think about what they did with ashes ariandel, where a " "cold, dark, and very gentle place" is painted with the blood of the dark souls, everything is obvious... and ashes of ariandel is a painted world with a culture based on blood, hunters and werewolfs (ds3 ending was already written at the time of bb)

@@nightrain1121 if you don't believe me read the interviews at the bottom. Anyway could you explain me with part of the lore would be in contrast with the fact that those game are connected? Anyway read: "the significance of déraciné to bloodborne" "Our full miyazaki sekiro interview" "miyazaki bloodborne full interview"

@@untipo. no, clearly you haven’t. Just because these games have similar themes does not mean they are in the same universe. Miyazaki has stated multiple times that he prefers creating new worlds. Besides, the lore just doesn’t match up. Feel free to have your head canon and theories, but stop presenting them as facts.

@@untipo. it’s not about belief, you are objectively, diametrically wrong.

shit man really there's not a single demigod&god whose initials aren't G or R or M when you think about it
