Elden Ring Is Just A Video Game 

This game somehow changed me as a person. I will never stop searching for the feeling I got when I first played this.

Can't help but wonder, and imagine, how they were all like as children. The demigods. Especially during the Morgott scene. Perhaps because Morgott state their names so warmly before calling them traitors. Followed by a perfect cut to a lonely Malenia!

Elden Ring's story is so depressing, but there is somehow beauty on it, it is also really depressing to see how the demigods decayed so much, Miquella is in a coccon, General Radahn lost his mind to the scarlet rot, Morgott fights for a kingdom that despises him, and he also despises his own existence, Mohg decided to abandon his own brother and just accept that he'd be always a monster, so unlike Morgott he rejected the Erdtree, Malenia awaits for Miquella's return, even tho we know well that it is very unlikely that he'll return with a cure for the scarlet rot on Malenia (DLC may change this), Rykard, once a great man, became the Lord of Blasphemy, Godfrey was such a respected Elden Lord, only to be banned from the Lands Between and lose the grace on him, and also having to see his son to die on his arms, Godrick... Godrick was always a coward, but things could've been different for him if Godwyn didn't get murdered, Rennala seems to be very depressed, Marika is trapped inside the Erdtree, the Greater Will is ashamed of her acts, and you, the tarnished, also decays, you become Elden Lord at the usual ending, but once you revisit some places and think about it, you realize that you've lost everyone who was there for you in the very beginning of your own journey, you realise that mainly on the roundtable hold, where everyone goes missing after some time... Some following their own journey, and others having their journey coming to an end. With that, you, tarnished, usually asks yourself if following the flame of ambition and becoming Elden Lord is really worth it, which, sure is since you're the hope of the Lands Between, but what about you? What is left for you? Once you think about it, you will realise that you may be Elden Lord, but in reality, you were always, and always will be... A tarnished. Motivated by the flame of ambition, in search of the Elden Ring.

I remember last month when I finally beat Elden ring and malenia. I felt empty for days every game I tried to play was boring and uninteresting to me. Then I saw this video at 2 am one night and I understood that I just didn’t play a game I lived in it, I felt it, I called it home. I’m 37, trust me I have played countless games this was my first soul ever and I’ll never forget it. It was a gaming journey, the path of cross I needed to take to be complete as a player.

This game was such an emotional journey, I cried and laughed. I raged and I conquered. I don't think I'll ever forget the friends or enemy's I met a long the way to becoming the new elden Lord. I am happy that I was able to experience this masterpiece in my life time.

Elden ring has pushed the limits and boundaries to how enjoyable and expressive video games can be

Ranni is one of the most exquisitely written and portrayed video game characters of all time, and does so with very little screentime.

Elden Ring, like Ocarina of Time, Halo, Skyrim, and a few others, is one of those games that come along once, maybe twice, a decade or so, and remind you what video games are truly capable of, and makes you fall back in love with them all over again. A truly bright shining star in the lake of rot that is the current video game industry.

Well done. It’s difficult to draw out emotion from the viewer with a game that doesn’t tend to have long and expansive cut scenes that flesh out the story and characters but you’ve done a great job with what has been provided. The only character, aside from our trusty steed, to whom I felt connected was Melina… with an appreciation for Radahn’s love of Leonard. Top notch work.

Best journey I have taken. One of the best games I have ever played.

I had tears in my eyes...from Demon's Souls over a decade ago to this year's Elden Ring...From Soft has indeed gone a looong way. Thanks for putting this amazing tribute🙏🏼❤️. From Soft and Miyazaki forever and ever.

The greatest game in history. I’m just glad I got to be apart of it.

Truly the best game in my 38 years of gaming.... So happy for the DLC this JUNE

"It's just a game" also them after letting Melina die: no, i will not let you die, i will brave the frenzied flame if i must so long as i can save you you my dearest friend

I am always searching for games like Elden Ring… there are none. Just the awe of seeing those sunsets , hills, snow and Torrent… every new area more beautiful than the next. I’ll never fall in love again (and I must say I played FF for seven years)

I just wanted to say thank you, i came back to this atleast 6 times now. Made me tear up a bit

I'm not a gamer at all, my partner bought me an xbox for xmas and I picked Elden Ring as my 1st game with no expectations. What an emotional rollercoaster this was! I died a thousand times but persevered until I finished the game yesterday... 116 hours in the Lands Between. The feeling of accomplishment was incomparable. I've grown so attached to this realm now I feel so empty inside that it's finished lol. I know that I'm alone in this feeling. I'm not sure if I will ever find the other game fun again. Anyway, your edit made me so emotional and nostalgic. Thank you so the wonderful experience ❤️

This is a perfect swan song for those who at least made it to that New Game+, great mashup and already gives me a nostalgic feel even though I'm still currently active in the game...lol..

I had finished the game about 3 months back. I've never been so much invested in any video games as much as in this one. My youtube recommendations were full of build guides and quest guides. I quit the game 4 times, started Again, I raged at every boss, and I conquered. The journey was full of emotions and thrills. I will never find the same feeling ever from any other video games.

I raged quit and gave up on the game after struggling to beat tree sentinel for 4 hours. I later came back and approached things differently and it was such an amazing experience. Struggling to beat Malenia for 12 hours, epically dodging and punishing malikeths and godfreys attacks as the ost roars in my ears, becoming attached to blaid, melina, rani, and alexander. I have now beat this game fresh 3 times and can’t get enough. Can’t wait for the DLC💛

Oh god Elden Ring made me play every fromsoft game. the scale of this game is unbeatable. ive cried during my playthroughs, because of tragic events and when i realized its over. this game absolutely deserves the love it gets from the players. I must thank you for this video. May the stars look after every tarnished, newcomers and veterans. Love this community and the games.

Some time before this game came out I started to burn out badly. I stopped all connections with people and stopped going out. I couldn't feel alot, everything tired me quick. The atmosphere of Elden Ring certainly was a fit to what I was feeling. Unique experience! We need more of, again.

We didn't play a game. We didn't play a character. We didn't sit there controlling some program... we became warriors. We became the Tarnished. We slew demi-gods. Destroyed an Age. Forged a new one. We lived a story that can't ever be countered. Can't be taken from us. Can't be overshadowed by time. We laughed and cried. Felt the pain and excitement. And in the end... we lived in one of the best worlds that fiction has ever produced.

I havnt been the same since ive played this game, it gave me motivation, it gave me happiness, and it changed the way i look at the world

" Thank you. For guiding me here " Jesus I swear this hit me so hard every time. Feel so bad dude :(((

I’ve been playing video games since the 80’s. Never had a game tapped emotions like this game did. Well done From.

This is one of the best elden ring edits I have seen, it truly makes me realise how deep and beautiful this game is, it is not just a video game; it's a work of art. And so is this edit.

Bro this game is so special to me, for many reasons, but the biggest thing is that my favorite game used to be halo 3and for a while I thought, that I would never enjoy a game like that ever again, and then one day a game called elden ring comes out, initially I was doubtful of it, because it's a hard as hell souls game, then around Christmas time I finally decided to get it, and when I first beat margit I knew how great this game would be, I quickly fell in love with the game, and I would give almost anything to play it fr the first time again. This game is the best game I have ever played. I will treasure it forever. I know no one is probably going to read this, but I just has to tell someone just how much this GAME means to me.

Absolutely breathtaking. The council invites you to the tower party 🧙‍♂

The entire lore of Elden Ring is so interesting that everytime I hear something about it all I want is to hear more. Like how the godskins were created ? Or how Radahn is powerful enough to stop the stars? Its just wonderful ❤❤

Man, this was absolutely beautiful. You captured everything that is great about this game!

What a journey, just by repeating what the characters said because I remember that, I got the meaning of the video. I was so excited for this game because it's the first Souls I played as a fan of the series, I didn't been so hyped for a game for years, I was so happy when I finally got it in my hands

Sniffs........I'm Not Crying, YOU'RE CRYING!!!! MAN THE FEELS HERE I SWEAR!! Loved this game, loved and still love this game so very, very much!!!

Been playing souls games since Dark Souls on my Xbox 360 back in the day. Watching FromSoftware grow over the years and experiencing each game for the first time was amazing. They all hold a place in my heart. Elden Ring truly is the pinnacle of all the hard work and love they have put into their games. Wish I could erase my memory and do it all over again. Thank you Miyazaki for changing my life and bringing your works of art to life. You’ve made so many people fall in love with the universe you created 🙏🏼

I absolutely loved your video. Thank you! There are no words that could ever respectfully highlight the proper relevance to what it stood for. No expression that could draw near to even a cursory description of its own depth. Admittedly, I have studied the lore extensively. It brought such insight and purpose to all of it. I’ve never been more excited about a dlc ever.

Brilliant! Stunning and brave. Unironically. Thank you!

The awe I felt when I first opened the double doors into The Lands Between. The chills, the butterflies, the loss of breath, the ecstatic joy for what’s to come, the admiration for that gorgeous view. I’ve felt this feeling before, when I fell in Love so long ago. I’ll never forget Elden Ring for helping me feel that feeling again.

Started playing a week ago, this game is so amazing. The edit made me tear up a bit honestly.

i cry, i cant forget every piece every moment in elden ring thank you hidetaka and team big love

Damn. This brings back memories. I Remember, in the Mohg boss fight, I didn't try and kill him I was just taking in the beautiful scenery and moves he had. One of my fav gaming moments of all time. Elden ring is one of a kind

Man the music hits perfect in the transition to Godfrey

"You must abide alone for a while" Epic video, editing, music choice, you hit it out of the park

A unique experience in life. Glad and honoured to be part of this

man i really love elden ring literally my favorite video game of all time, the moment i started i was horrified that i would suck then i found out that’s the point to understand the bosses and game mechanics to it. i remember beating those damn bird sword enemies and was literally jumping out of my chair lmao for something so simple. great video btw my man

Me and my brother preordered this and played it a day early by changing our time zones. I'll never forget how it felt to play this for the first time, with no spoilers or any idea about the story. No one even had videos about how to do stuff so we figured it out along the way, it was great...

One of the best games ever made and it gave me the best gaming experience I've ever had. The dlc should be around the corner now! Amazing edit btw!

Just finished my first play through. So happy i gave this game a chance. Congrats fellow tarnished

im just past FG in Farum Azula. this popped on my page and had to watch, i am literally crying

Solid editing! I think for future videos it'd be nice to incorporate some beautiful vistas that you experience in the game and some more gameplay. Would be a nice contrast to the cut scenes. But very nice overall. Lotta potential for the future of this channel.

Thanks for making this man really makes me appreciate the amazing work of Elden Ring

After 1000 videos about elden ring, this is the best one so far, especially reminds me of my first playthroug, damn good video

My first playthrough was blind, It was perfect and idk if I'll have the same meaningful encounters and idk if I want them to go differently.

this game set me a new line on what can entertain me and what can not and the line is not small

Elden ring is not just one of the best game that was released recently, but one among the best games of all time that I have played

All the game characters voices are so calm my thoery is that they know how much they and each has suffered, it's just not worth to be in rage but to be kind or calm

A bit of history! Well done!

"Thank you, for guiding me here". Nuff said 😊

When i play a rpg game, dousn't matter the style, i usually build a background of them in my head, don't ask, i don't know why i do this. But in somewhat strange way i feel more connected to the world that is being presenting to me, so the characters and sorrouding are more "alive" by this, Souls franchise is special to me, but Elden Ring is even more special to me, never in a sou game i got the feeling of knowing what a character means while fighting him, i think i do this because i'm a novel writer, but man this journey sure is unique. Good vid, brought some tears to my eyes.

Please please make more!! It's a request please. These lines hit harder

I will never forget this game and what it made me feel.

I have played this game a half dozen times, but I have never seen it like this. Crazy what music can do.

This game is so incredible. As my first souls like. I was astounded by the story and the events that took place before and during the game. I'll never forget the feeling of beating my first real boss. My heart racing yelling "I can't believe I did it!" It changed something in my heart. Wich is so silly. But my patience has grown exponentially. And the way I look at hardships as well. And the game gave me hope in story telling. Story telling is so important. Thanks from soft.

i wish i could watch it fully now. but i can't go further than Godrick The Grafted. already love this game

The boss fights are, yes, a big part of the game, but there is so much more to it than that. The countless catacombs, ruins, caves, everything. Kale, Blaidd, Iji, Boc, Yura, and evryone else.

Very nicely made, perfectly encapsulates just how great this game is

A very nicely made video :) Will prob play the game after the summer vacation

normally you experience these all with time between. watching these events in series is pretty intense! best game ever!

you choose the perfect song for this video and I want to tank you for that for it was my first time hearing it, I instantly fell in love with it

its cool to see other people online as passionate about souls games as me. i really wish i knew people in person who loves these games as much as i do but unfortunately i cant find them.

What a privilege it is to be able to experience Miyakzaki and his staff's artwork with these games. Every time I relaunch a Dark Souls game, go through and play Elden Ring, it just makes me appreciate further the depth, attention to detail and raw amount of passionate to just create a memorable gaming experience. The amount of joy I felt staying up, pulling all nighters like a little kid with my best friend, us laughing and being in awe of the scale of Elden Ring, finding areas, bosses and items that weren't even available on the Elden Ring wiki yet, is a memory I'll carry to my grave when I look back on being happy and cherishing my friendship. Can only hope they continue to be allowed to have free range to carry out their designs without interference from publishers. June 21st cannot come any sooner!

Elden ring had so many moments that caught my emotions by surprise. Saying goodbye to Melina, witnessing Maliketh's desperation, learning about Mogh's desire and the formless mother. There are more to count than I can do in one sitting. But finding Godfrey cradling Morgott made me cry pretty hard ngl i was really thankful to see evidence that at least one of his parents really cared for him especially since there is so much to suggest that the order his mother created would simply never accept him. I can only assume since there is so much that we don't know for sure but Godfrey was finally able to return and be a good dad to a child that needed love. Something about that always gets me, and makes me think about my Dad (he's not absent lol he just has a lot of compassion for people that need it). Finishing Elden Ring has me feeling hollow but it really was beautiful. I'm really looking forward to Shadow of the Erdtree.

It’s literally so hard I quit my first play through but I’m here again trying to get the hang of it

What a masterpiece. Well done bro.

DLC for this game will be consumed agressivly fast

This was beautiful. Thank you.

the best i ever played still playing in it time to time and just get joy.just a game with a a huge soul .

it feels like you're the villain yourself

that was good. good job

This game man. It has some of the greatest storytelling ever written. A true masterpiece to the likes of the Lord of the Rings, Homers Epic, Beowulf, and other great stories. I would absolutely read a book series if they made one. Would love to see it.

This is my favorite game of all time. When I first played it was an extraordinary feeling. I’m playing the rest of the souls rn. Thank you Miyazaki your games helped me when I was in a very dark place. I’m very grateful… I can’t wait for the dlc to experience that feeling when I first played. Don’t you dare go hollow friends.

"the tale of house Hoslow is told in blood" i'll never forget the hero who saved the jar village.

I remember the same feeling I got after beating Melania after countless runs, what a masterpiece of a game. I cannot wait for the DLC to come out.

Amazing edit

This is an absolute beautiful video

My first souls game. I'll never be the same. In love with a game that doesn't love me. It was pain before pleasure. I died a thousand times. You never forget your first. ❤

Great video!

Your the hero to put everything in order

Beautifully done! The game is a masterpiece!

To new adventures my friend, to new adventures 🍻

I just finished the game and now i feel so lost. This game is truely a masterpiece and the journey you experience is like no other fromsoftware games ive played

Morgott's transition to Malenia was so smooth!!

Having played since Demon Souls on the PS3 I truly believed I would never be as amazed and captivated as I was when I played Demon Souls and especially Dark Souls 1 for the first time. Somehow Elden Ring did it and is one of my favorite video games for it. Every time I would turn it on I would stand up for the intro screen and soak in that uplifting music. It got me through my struggles with Maliketh (who nearly broke me) and just kept giving an amazing gaming experience.

This epic masterpiece has taken hundreds of hours of my life, and I have no regrets.

EPIC! praise it!

Miyazaki has done it again. This game is an absolute masterpiece, one of the best experiences with games i had in my life, and I've been doing it for a long time.

I can't help but to have this within the music. I tried to listen to it alone, and for some reason it... felt wrong. I replay this video, and it was back to good for me. Just goes to show how good the editing/experience in the video alone gave us. Well done. Around 4:20, you can actually hear several discordant chords And the fact they're going when Maelina is burning to burn the Erdtree. If that was intentional, then you hit that timing PERFECTLY. If not. Happy accidents happen too!

Yo this song makes everything more emotional then it has to be

I wish I could go back and play this game blindly again. Such a cool feeling playing it for the first time.

so many bloody emotions

Radahn, the big brother everyone needed.
