Known for true gaming leaks Fromsoftware insider Omnipotent spoke more about the world of role-playing game Elden ring and role distribution between Hidetaka Miyazaki and George Martin on development stage. We selected the main thing from his new big post on the ResetEra forum.
- As is well known, Hidetaka Miyazaki works on the plot component of the Elden Ring together with the legendary writer George Martin. It is important to note that Martin was primarily engaged in the creation of the game universe itself: its history, internal logic, culture and features. In turn, Miyazaki wrote the central storyline, invented the main characters, and also adapted Martin’s ideas in every possible way.
- George Martin is known for paying great attention to building truly believable worlds, describing in detail both global political conflicts and the smallest life of ordinary people. In Elder Ring, the writer did not change his habits, and in a similar manner approached the implementation of a new gaming world. By launching the game, you will immediately realize that you are in a universe with a real deep history, where each event or character is an echo of centuries-old events.
- The world of Elder Ring is inhabited by creatures of various backgrounds and of very different races. Some of them are similar to already familiar fantasy stereotypes, while others are the result of a real fantasy flight from FromSoftware. One way or another, this approach allows authors to populate locations with truly vivid and memorable images.
- An insider characterizes Elden Ring as “high fantasy.” The scale of the world, its history, the central plot narrative – all this is much larger than in all previous FromSoftware works. At the same time, the game supposedly has a slightly lighter tone than the absolutely decadent atmosphere of Bloodborne or Dark Souls.
- The very central idea of the in-game Elden Ring phenomenon (in whose honor the project bears its name), the main characters, the difference in aspects of the universe (like magic and wizardry) – all this has its own background and history.
- There are various schools of magic in the game. A lot of attention will be paid to their stories and roles in the plot – both through direct narration and through indirect methods, such as interesting features of visual design.
- The “Elden Ring phenomenon” mentioned above is a key aspect that is somehow related to all elements of the game. The closest comparison is the “Sign of Darkness” from Dark Souls, or “Ancient Blood” from Bloodborne. “Elden Ring” is an incredibly important part of the gaming universe, a kind of fundamental phenomenon that marks its existence in absolute order. However, as we learn from the trailer, in the world there was a certain irreparable disaster, which affected all the usual foundations of life. Habitual things undergo terrible changes. Ordinary people, the royal nobility, genuine demigods, all are influenced by events. Including a player who will have to personally experience all the horrors, and not just read about them in item descriptions.
- The structure of the game itself promises to be much larger. Instead of traveling through a single, conditionally “local” continent, you have to cross entire boundless lands. And for each turn of the player, unique locations, new opponents and allies will be waiting for them, transmitting completely different moods from level to level. Quest chains of plot characters also promise to receive a noticeable development. Entire epic stories will develop before your eyes, where different heroes pursue their own goals and have personal ambitions.
- The position of the protagonist in the overall plot will also change somewhat. His past has much more in common with current events than, for example, the Chosen Undead in Dark Souls.
- At the end, the insider describes the game as Dark Souls, where you not only read about some distant and amazing lands, but also personally go to study them as part of your trip. At the same time, constantly encountering a variety of difficulties – whole nations, kings, magic and magic, unimaginable forces that are able to change the fundamental foundations of the whole universe.
Elden Ring doesn’t have a release date yet.
