I respect it. I just fear it won’t be for me. But then again, I wouldn’t want more Elden Ring after my time playing through Erdtree. So this is simultaneously exactly what I hoped for and also not at all what I could have dreamed up as the next thing from them. Which is cool!

I’m guessing it serves as a step towards more seamless multiplayer, and a zippy, almost arcade-y From game could work. That’s kind of what I played so many chalice dungeons for. But I cannot do more Elden Ring. I cannot go to Limgrave again. Like I spent 12 hours at the breakfast buffet and I can’t even look at a pancake now.

I miss the days when people were calling the original Dark Souls from’s sellout game.

My cowardly Souls method of leveling has always been doing it as a summoned helper where there’s zero risk, and I really got into doing all the micro dungeons and boss fights over and over in Elden Ring. This sounds like a game of just doing that.

I really don’t like the idea of premade characters when fine tuning a personal build is so much of the game, I’m concerned that they might introduce direct communication, and I absolutely dread all the games as a service battle pass micro transaction stuff, but I’m optimistic that this might be able to navigate through all of that.

Jokingly posting that you can play Nightreign right now with Sword Art Online Fractured Daydream and accidentally selling myself on Nightreign

That’s cool, I look forward to playing this video game.

EDIT: Has anyone considered that this is a brave act of self sabotage in defiance of the upcoming Sony/Kadokawa merger.

One of my favorite moments in the base game is being able to pick up whichever weapon at the very start and wielding it without having the burden of upgrading it. If this can reliably offer that feeling more consistently then I’m excited for it

I have every reason to believe that From’s distinct voice will make this kind of game into something worthwhile and better than the rest. I have equally every reason to believe I will hate it anyway
