Unforgettable Video Games
Join me, as we embark on a journey exploring the profound impact video games have on us. We'll delve into the heart of what makes certain games truly unforgettable, or as I prefer to call them, 'shelter games'. Sharing personal anecdotes from my gaming journey with Rust and Final Fantasy XIV, I hope to offer a deeper understanding of how these virtual realms can carve a permanent place in our hearts and memories. So, sit back, reminisce about your gaming experiences, and maybe even discover what your own 'shelter game' might be. I encourage you to share your stories and thoughts in the comments. Let's celebrate the unique magic of video games together.

    One theory I kind of had was that all the games are basically the same story but kind of retold. So like how Zelda is basically the same story but just different views of the same one. Or one of the above. The fire Giants cauldron seems to be very similar to the Lord of Cinders arena in DS3. and possibly, if we burn the erdtree and torch the world for a new, would that not be the first flame?

    As someone who has never even played the games it seems blatantly obvious that they’re all connected

  • @isaiahfisher2337
    @isaiahfisher2337 25 днів тому

    The only connection that makes no sense is a connection to Sekiro, since Sekiro takes place in our world/Japan. It might be a fantasy fictional place in Japan, but it's still Japan, which implies all the rest of our world up until the 17th ish century. As for the rest, it's fun to speculate. Also I don't know why we have to take Miyazaki's word for it that the worlds are unconnected. For one, he could just be lying so people don't look too hard into it. For two, we really don't have to take the director's word for it even if he is telling the truth. The fun/point of these games is the community solving the mystery and trying to piece together the lore; it's never been about the author or the official canon. This is one of the few communities where we can honestly say the author's intent probably doesn't matter, as even the author might not be aware of all of the pieced-together lore of the games.

    One super important detail that sort of confirms to me that DS3's painting at the end of Ashes of Ariandel/The Ringed City leads into Elden Ring: The Two Fingers, who commune with Metyr and then the Greater Will.. Remember the Painter Girl in the Painted World of Ariandel? Do you remember how, upon first discovering her, she is seemingly painting or etching something into the table with her finger? Well, while there are brushes and paint scattered on the table beside where she sits and paints later... I believe she paints the world all **by hand** after receiving the Dark Soul and the flames she desired. This is why the 'Fingers' have that sort of shape and why finger iconography is so rampant in the world. The world of Elden Ring is literally hand crafted-- finger painted even. The Greater Will is no longer communicating with the fingers because the Painter Girl has died in the outside world, succumbing to the flame, her painting completed. (Bonus: Look at her painting btw.... Is that... The Gate of Divinity from the DLC?? Where Marika ascended to Godhood?? We see in the promotional CGI trailer that it used to be blood red before Miquella attempted to use it.)

    There are runes that say something in the lines of "runes of a hero who, upon completing their mission, they'd immediately die", those are the hollows and the unkindled, i believe Elden Ring's world is Dark Souls', only in a very distant future, Bloodborne is the painting in 3, it's literally made of blood

    @mrslasher1064 Місяць тому

    I personally believe that elden ring takes place at the end First demon souls,then dark souls,then bloodborne and sekiro (which i think take place at the same time) and finally elden ring The outer gods are the great ones who are now returning to the planet after being gone,sending their vassals (like Metyr and Eldenbeast) to influence humanity,there's also the cosmic power of glinstone socery to consider as the Carian royals worship the moon and stars,the first flame is represented by the flame of the fell god and perhaps the many different types of fire represent the different aspects of the first flame or maybe the many ages of fire with different lords of cinder linking the flame,there are other aspects form the dark souls era seen with those that live in death and the ancient dragons,lastly demon souls isn't represented much because it was so long ago that nobody even knows it existed,it sort of like the Gobekli Teppe of the souls universe...

    Ranni’s ending doesn’t track with bloodborne…however what does track with bloodborne is the seedbed curse ending which technically curses all beings afflicting them with “omen” which most of those characters within Elden ring were not born with the grace of Gold…and shunned like the misbegotten. I don’t know about you….but those enemies feel a lot like ghouls, vampires, and goblins to me.

    The lands between has always sounded weird to me. I e always wondered if these aren’t all the same place just different times/parallel realities and The Lands Between is the lands between reality/time. Idk but could you imagine a game where you have to battle your way from Boleteria through Anor Londo, Yharnam, Ashina, and the Lands Between. One ashen tarnished Hoonter shinobi fighting the entire Miyazaki universe. That would be wild

    @Elden-Lord294 5 місяців тому

    Late to the party gere but it's definitely all connected. FromSoftware are too creative to be as lazy as use Elden Ring enemy's with the literal same name and appearance as Dark Souls for example My theory is Elden Ring is the beginning, but as we know time is not linear in the game, also the end. Il try and explain as short as I can: My theory is for Golden Order and Age of Fracture endings, Elden Ring universe continues as it is, with the outer gods happy this leads to a good future. Frenzied Flame, inevitably kills everything with little existing for thousands of years. However, as time goes past, the flame is extinguished, leaving the age of the ancients and a world shrouded in fog (smoke), with just the immortal dragons having survived and ruled the world. Then, from an ember, the fire restarted and some beings underneath the world, came into contact with the fire and gained great power from lord souls (great runes), and rose up back to the surface. So the dark souls story takes place. The story then ends, with the painter painting a new world for Gael, of which, is then Elden Ring again, which is the outer gods way of starting again and rectifying. This would explain why so many creature's are the same, weapons and artifacts, plus things being named after Gael. Age of the stars then leads to Bloodbourne, where at the end we wake from a dream, to cross the fog as tarnished. Age of duskborn in my eyes leads to sekiro, like the theory in the video states where beings are trying to get immortality back through what seems to be a form Dragon Communion. We know sekiro is set in Land of Ashina. Ashi, translates to Reed in English. All of the Samurai, Okina Mask and some Katanas in Elden Ring come from "Land of Reed" in their description, which gives some indication the place Sekiro is set is present in Elden Rings universe. And in the Return Sekiro ending, we travel to the west, to the divine dragons origin, likely, the lands between.

    My only thing with the idea that Dark Souls came before Elden Ring is that the dragons in Elden Ring is very clearly are very influenced by the Erdtree. From golden fire to other such item descriptions we know that the Erdtree once favored the dragons. They had their own Elden lord and their own ‘god’ I think it’s more favorable that the dragons took over in a dark colorless world, built in the ashes of the world we left behind. The embers then taking fire and leading Dark Souls.

  • @GuyverLycan24
    @GuyverLycan24 7 місяців тому

    Here is my two cents on this. For me Ranni's ending leads to none of the souls games, but instead leads to the ArmorCore series. After all, while all the gods and fantasies are gone, the last remaining visage Humanity sub-consciously remembers is a moonlight sword.

    Underground of lost city I found three layers of ruins one of ruined cities had those Bloodborne nightmare critters and another layer of ruins I found gothic architecture that had samekind ashmounds than ending of dark souls. And the demon souls speaks of fog that connect to beginning of darksouls everlasting fog. Thus my theory Demon soul -> Darksoul - > Blood Borne -> Elden Ring

  • @user-qq3xl7ox3z
    @user-qq3xl7ox3z 7 місяців тому

    if i remember correctly in bloodborne there was no influence from the gods until they found the corpse of one down in one of the chalice dungeons which could be like some of the few dungeons we find throughout elden ring. it also stated that the ptheumarians (potentially the numen race) fled leaving some behind this could be because rani was hunting them down and one if not more could have been trapped and in hiding in the lands between.

  • @Melanias_Consort

    Rannis ending is misunderstood because a mistranslation that couldn't be changed in time to numerous voice lines already recorded for release. She doesn't bring a dark ending, she takes the Elden ring far away on a journey to destinations unknown, which you take with her, into fear, doubt, and loneliness, because you will leave behind all you know. She's doing this to keep it far from mankind, so their troubles and biases, and natural imperfections cannot corrupt the order. This can be confirmed with a simple Google search. The game is designed in Japanese, the dialogue is written in Japanese, and the first draft is in Japanese. They have to port it to America to be translated, which was rushed because the release was shortened. Thus leading to errors in the complex Japanese languages translation. Slight changes of tone can mean entirely different things, so it is very easy to mistranslate if rushed. And none of it could be fixed because they would have to fly the voice actors out again to re-record every line..... So no, it's not blood borne. Age of frenzy is not dark souls, because frenzy flame is madness, not a physical flame, but the anguish of madness focused into a ray that happens to set things on fire. So, you don't keep this thing alight... Because it's not a fire. It's a sentient being/eldritch horror capable of mass manipulation and destruction. And your dumbass fell for it's tricks for a couple highly gimicky spells. These are fun to think about but there's lore that explains things. And these only work if you look at everything face value. That's like me saying Halo must be the past life of Destinys universe, because they both have ghosts. They aren't even comparable things because of vast differences. Frenzy isn't even a physical fire, its driving someone so insane their brain starts shooting pure agony from their eyes (hence the damage to you) that sets things on fire because the intensity. Magic in this game is built on intent. And the 3 fingers made the flames of frenzy as intent, because it's not true flames, it too can burn the erdtree, just like the godskin apostles black flames. The Erdtree is impenetrable, it can only be broken with 1 of 3 kinds of fire: 1. Enchanted fire (Black Flame) 2. Cursed fire (Frenzy Flame) 3. Sacred fire (Giants Flame) Otherwise you aren't getting in. The only thing close to actual fire is Giants Flame. It's extremely hot and is derived from deep magma magic and flames from the intensity of the suns surface. The other two are interesting...ones real fire enhanced and imbued with the rune of destined death. I'm a nerd. Gnight

    the people of Loran came before the pthumarians; they probably existed as the tarnished under marikas husband; but if the dungeons aesthetics are to be taken at face value they lived in a desert. the pthumarians probably came around a few hundred years into ranis travels afar during that thousand year time span. with a few hundred years after her return you'd end up with Yharnam and the rest of the bloodborne world at the height of their power pre burning of "Old" Yharnam.

    Theory: Bloodborne is tied to the Lord of Blood Ending. The Game takes place in Miquela's dream. Evidence: Miquela, aka St Trina, appears to be asleep in a cocoon full of blood, influenced by Mogh, who is the avatar of the Formless Mother. In a World that the Formless Mother reigns supreme, blood would eventually corrupt and pervert the users. Argument: The Great Ones arriving are the result of killing Radahn, which allows them to come to the Lands Between, since the Stars can flow again.
