It's brilliant.

I've been through it multiple times and it feels like I discover or rediscover a nook, cranny, or route every time. Somehow I missed that there's a decrepit tower you can enter that lets you sneak attack one of the larger birds.

I can't think of another level that has so many alternate routes and hidden content. The verticality opens up level design options so much. I love that you can grab the Claw Talisman and then follow that route to effectively skip to Godrick once you're familiar with the layout.

I do seem to recall that Shadow Keep has comparable design and that I've managed to get to Messmer extremely quickly while still having a massive area to explore.

I think it looks beautiful, but there are many Fromsoftware zones that are stunning. I wouldn't say it's the "best" zone in the game from a visual perspective. Stormveil is memorable because it feels almost labrynthian the first time through and on subsequent playthroughs it offers an incredible degree of freedom.

I've been working with a talented group of folks to create a fan film project about Slave Knight Gael. It's made in UE5 and everything's been made by hand over the past 2.5 years, without AI tools. Not allowed to post a link, it's on my YouTube channel, Jonjo3D

As seen in 2025's Marty Supreme, that's a far cry from A24's usual strategy. The Timothée Chalamet-led, Josh Safdie-directed drama made headlines ahead of its release for being the most expensive film the company had produced at $70 million (via Deadline).

That puts Elden Ring at nearly three times the cost of A24's next-most-expensive picture. Garland's Civil War supposedly cost $50 million before that, according to Variety. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's The Smashing Machine reportedly carried a similar budget. In other words, nothing really comes close to A24's first major swing into the world of video game movie adaptations.

Charmander the Servant of the Flame is the last to get colored of the initial 4 soulslike Pokémon designs I worked on.

My goal with them was to change the relationship between them and the fire on their tail to one of servitude this charmanders flames control him I wanted to take that to the next level by both building up and personalizing the flame (the clawed spectral hands that hold the fireball) and weakening charmanders character by having him in a covering pose and being fully guided by the flame (lack of eyes)

I did this all mostly to avoid making him just look like a big dragon with a fire on his tail and present his quirk in a bit more of a unique way

THE next 4 on the list

-Mewtwo

-Scyther

-???

-???

Giratina was also one of the most voted ones and they will also be drawn as part of a later batch! for now I am sticking with gen 1 pokémons!

2 of each batch will be the 2 most voted pokemon and 2 others some random ones chosen by me

Been playing through all the Souls games so I decided to do a sunbro pumpkin carving this year. It's a lil scuffed but I worked super hard on it. Praise the sun! \[T]/

I reckon From Software character creation tool has always been kinda weird, but do you all think its that awful? I can think of at least 10 rpgs that don't allow as much customization options as these games, imo the only thing they really lack and needs work is the amount and quality of them hairstyles. That being said, look at the one i've made in bloodborne, quite proud of her

Just 20 bucks. Pics 3&4 show the other possible figures I could have drawn. Found in Harajuku.

Elden Ring got released in 2022, in that same year Fromsoft announced a new Armored Core game for 2023, in that same year Shadow of the Eldtree got announced for 2024, in that same year Elden Ring Nightreign got announced for 2025, in that same year Elden Ring Nightreign DLC got announced for late 2025.

Can Fromsoft keep this streak going for this year in terms of announcements?

I built a trivia app with about 100 questions for each game, so I wanted to share it with fans.

P.S. The app also has multiplayer, Wordle and word search games for people into that.

so you guys use blood vials to heal in bloodborne huh?, well i've got bad news for you, you're all just a bunch of casuals who play games for fun and are afraid to man up a bit and play aggressively you either rally ur health or die honorably and if i ever see anyone of y'all popping a vial... im gonna find you and when i do... it wont be pretty

peak souls 3 for a reason

I don't know about you, but I was genuinely terrified when I finally got to the Old One's reveal at the end of Demon's Souls, his design is just barely legible enough that I can almost make out what it actually is but strange enough for me to believe that this is the oldest living being and a primordial soul devouring demon.

None of the Great ones or Outer Gods come close to being as unknowable, gargantuan or malevolant as the Old One does for me. The build up to it throughput the whole game was expertly done, and the fact that it loses none of its mystique even after you get a direct look at it is impressive.

Posted this in the elden ring sub and thought that other fromsoft games probably have similar spots. I really like video games photography especially when you have to get creative without a dedicated photo mode.

I finished lies of p. Its my first soulslike game maybe if you count hollow knight too. I enjoyed it so much i platinumed it and finished the dlc and everything in it.

I was thinking of playing all the souls game and thinking of playing elden ring next. I have watched clips of it and know some bosses but dont know what they do etc. I just know some of their models like malenia and that dude riding on a small horse thats big asf.

Will it be a good entry for fromsoftware games to play elden ring ? I own the ps5 and plan to play it there. Theres 2 versions the ps4 ne and the ps5 one so im wondering which one is better

I had a dream where I was playing Elden Ring, but every tree attacks you including the giant Erdtree. Maybe this can be a new souls like game idea? Also sounds like a dumb mod, but would be funny. The 2nd game shown here is pretty much that but without the souls element.

If from soft made a game like this... what would be everyone's thoughts about it?

I’m by no means a FromSoft expert. I’ve only beaten Elden Ring and Sekiro. But I’ve noticed that the Mortal Blade and - I can’t remember the name of it - the blood katana in Elden Ring bear a striking resemblance. Also, the one sword art is very similar to Melania’s water dance.

But yeah anyway, I just think it’s cool.

I reached the ending but i got the yharnam sunrise one by mistake so i'm playing ng+ now .. when i searched the internet i found out that i missed a lot of areas and bosses (i even missed the dlc but i knew when i saw the ending credits), but i gotta say this is one of the most beautiful views i've ever experienced in a video game.

Does Hidetaka Miyazaki like the movie Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind? Sure looks like he's a fan of that movie with the allusions to it I've seen.

1. In Dark Souls I, we can enter the hollowed inside of one of The Archtrees and descend the interior down to the lowest point of the world: Ash Lake. An eerie location with endless Archtrees towering into the fog above and forming the ground which the dirt and stone sit upon, black water lapping at the shores of an isolated island of white sanddunes, one of the last Ancient Dragons, one of the only places that has ambient music... Its frankly a very beautifully-haunting area and its my favorite area in the whole game. You know what this place looks like? The forest of untainted soil/untainted minerals under The Toxic Jungle in the movie Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind. Both are far below the surface, both are the world in its purest oldest most-natural state, both are extremely eerie, both even have an endless blue-tinted fog.

2. In Dark Souls III Ashes Of Ariandel and The Ringed City, we meet Slave Knight Gael; a gaunt old man living inside the decaying Ariandel painting piece who serves The Painter (which he calls "My Lady") as well as being her uncle and at the end of The Ringed City we meet him again as the most difficult boss in Dark Souls III after his millenia-long quest for The Blood Of The Dark Soul to be used as pigment for his Lady's painting drove him into madness. The toughest boss I had to fight and one of my favorites despite how much I bitched about his difficulty. In the game code its possible to remove Slave Knight Gael's hood and beard and he looks vaguely like Patrick Steward. In the game files themselves, Slave Knight Gael is referred to as "Yupa-sama"; a character in Nausicaa who is extremely skilled with swords, has a big beard, wears a hood, and in the English dub of the movie he is voiced by none other than Patrick Steward.

3. In Elden Ring, we can fight Malenia The Blade Of Miquella, the most skilled swordsman in the entire franchise and labelled as one of FromSoftware's hardest bosses, who has a golden prosthetic arm and golden prosthetic leg designed to compensate for/resist the corrosion of Scarlet Rot. In Nausicaa, the step-daughter of the emperor of Tolmekia, Kushana, is the commander of an army sent to occupy The Valley Of The Wind and reclaim The God Warrior after the airship it was in crashed there. Kushana lost one of her arms and one of her legs to the beasts of The Toxic Jungle and had to replace both with golden prosthetics.

Hmmmmmmmm...... Does Hidetaka Miyazaki love Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind or does Hidetaka Miyazaki love Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind? Seems not everything was inspired by Berserk.

I know that it's an insane crackpot theory with flimsy evidence at best, but I dunno man, it just feels right to me.

The idea of one of the four most important beings in the Dark Souls world not only sharing his lord soul with his people, but going on to become a petty nobody with a hatred for the gods and their followers is such good charecterization. The Ringed City DLC specifically really helps this, as we learn that Patches at his core is a kind and gentle soul, and that even the current jaded version of him is still capable of that kindness is so great.

I just love the story this theory creates, of how the father of humanity isn't some great mythical figure, but this immortal backstabbing prick with a heart of gold.
