i always get flash banged going from souls to warthunder lmao

To the sponsorship people: I actually like Zullie's ads more than a typical sponsorship bit. Zullie's style of video means I can appreciate the music of a game more and I like the information Zullie gives over the usual sponsorship that sounds exactly like every other sponsorship that I've heard.
On one hand, glad that you’re popular enough to get sponsorships.
On the other hand, ew no.
yeah i won't be playing this dogshit but get that bag
I’m always hoping that one of the unused faces is just Miyazaki
Nah, it's gonna be Rick Astley with a FromSoft version of a Rickroll
He's not like Kojima who puts himself into his own games

Elden Ring's list of characters has over a dozen entries that are simply named "Someone Yet Unseen". Presumably they had several NPCs planned that didn't make the final cut, and some of these faces may have belonged to them, but this could also point towards the many character's we're likely to meet in the DLC, and some of them may end up using these faces or some iteration of them too.
Or just a bunch of placeholder faces made so there was a stock available to be slotted in as needed. That's what I would do in this situation. Well that and spend hours horsing around with the builder tools just to see what I can get it to spit out.
It’s wild to think there is story written that isn’t used but hinted at, it makes me think there could be another DLC to just use up the last of the written story
Sounds like a good name for forlorn type invaders
Umm, Zullo, I can see them. Am I going to die now? 😢
"Yet unseen' most likely means we will see them in the DLC or sequel. I'm excited
Zullie, this is a big ask, but could you do a comprehensive video covering the interesting changes made by the day and night cycle? I think most people know about the unique bosses at night but there even are different enemy placements which still surprises me. For example, the church of dragon communion has spirit jellyfish spawn there at night. Surprised me quite a bit as I had never been there at night. Made me wonder what other changes might be made in different areas of the games. It would be a big undertaking, but I don’t think anyone has tried tackling this yet. Appreciate all your hard work!

Well, we've confirmed that Hideo Kojima snuck into the FromSoft offices at some point.
he's coming after my BB
We're gonna be dissecting dlc characters months before it releases aren't we
That's what I was thinking lol
Given the chance to ruin it before we even play it, why wouldn’t we? There are hour-long videos about the lore of the DLC already.
@@joebykaebyi mean, it's lore from the base game. We don't know a lot about the dlc, the rest is speculation. We don't know if the shadow lands are a physical place, or some kind of parallel world, or a dream/nightmare sustained by an Outer God. We don't know exactly why Miquella is there either.
yup, and people are going to speculate on them and their role in the lore endlessly, only for them to (a) be nothing like what we expected and (b) answer zero questions and only lead to more mysteries, in classic dark souls fashion. can’t wait
Oh yea
I love that there are prototype Gideon faces and then a final Gideon face, despite the fact that we never see his face.
The one Gideon to rule them all
Makes me wish that NPCs with helmets took them off even if only once and for a short time, like Lucatiel did. I wanna see the face that I'm talking to dammit.
@5:15
...Huh, I never realized dark-blue hair looked this good in-game; might be worth considering next time.
I recently made a second character to play around with magic a bit since I'm typically a pure melee character and I don't feel like reallocating stats on my original character via Rennala. I did dark purple hair on the second character and it actually looks really good on her. I mean, now it's covered with the Astrologer set, but it does look pretty good.
The Grey skin/Gold tattoo combo looks cool too!
Just did a build that was all Sonic the Hedgehog Blue, except for the eyes being blood red

I wonder if they were going to use the twins as another instance of a male/female being, but abandoned that idea later, maybe leaving the big reveal for Marika/Radagon be more impactful and unique
I mean... the twins are still regarded two people with one soul. It's in their armor description. In fact, the suggestion that they "never speak, nor stand together" implies they aren't even blood relatives, but were connected by this shared soul, and feel the other's existence without ever having crossed paths.
This would explain why Radagon is a human champion descended from the Fire Giants, while Marika is an Empyrean from Numen, outside the Lands Between. They could cooperate at a distance, but weren't truly united until fracturing into one, sometime after Radagon was crowned King Consort.
D and his brother were rejected by all orders as abominations except the Golden Order-after all, its godhead is a similar "abomination."
The Elden Ring Charchter Creator is so Good-Looking that i honestly dont have the soul to make Monsters like Dark Souls
Weak
Like, it's not perfect. Modded games like Skyrim and The Sims 2 and 4 have more options for faces. But, for an UNMODDED game? It's pretty damn good.
Only gripes I have are the eye options.... It's hard to get the exact eye shape I want. And for some reason, side profiles... my characters tend to look good from the front. But the side profile looks janky. And there's usually no fixing it....
It's just too bad that, like the devs. To play optimally, you spend an hour or more making your character.... Only to slap a helmet on them and NEVER see their face again.... (Luckily, I don't play optimally. I just slap a Commoner's Headband (Altered), or an Aristocrat's Crown on them and I'm good to go. =V)
@@DataDrain02play around with the jaw and cheekbones settings. It won’t be perfect but you can get a decent side profile if you can get it right.
@@DataDrain02 Ain't that the truth, lol. I got lucky with that stone cat imp head dropping for me in an early catacomb and I wore it for so long that I honestly forgot what my character looked like. I then got Radahn's set and haven't really switched to anything else, but I still have forgotten what hair I gave her. I also did the dragon heart stuff despite playing a pure melee build, so I've also forgotten what her eyes look like since they've changed from the dragon communion. I could go get rid of that though to see what I put them as.
I mean, I've already had to adjust her once, because originally she looked quite a lot like Helen Hunt, lol. I made some adjustments and she looks better now.
@@DataDrain02same, I farmed the hell for ONE of those headbands! I made a few insane monster creations but mostly I stick to my pretty character😅
Whoa, now that I know that kintsugi is a thing, it feels massively important to Elden Ring as a whole.
I'm pretty sure the gargoyles being glued together with corpse wax is at the very least heavily inspired by this.
A rabbit hole well worth falling down, also what
@Brown95P said.
WE MUST BRING OUR BOY ALEXANDER BACK WITH GOLDEN GLUE!
It's too bad kintsugi can't save Alexander.
It’s hard for me to picture Zullie playing World of Tanks
Now I'm imagining Zullie making videos about secrets in World of Tanks lol.
Next Zullie video: wot's problem with matchmaking
Zuli out there mercing fools in an m1 Abraham
can totally imagine a tank modded with Zullie's dress
devs: sir, we need character face models and we came up with this one as the first one.
myiazaki: good. name it npc ten thousand.
devs: sir, it's the first-
myiazaki: did i stutter?
Its common to use high numbers for enumaration and categorization. Might be the first 2 numbers represent a category and the 3 last digits are the counter.
@@TheDool true but i doubt it applies in this case since the filenames also have letters, so it's not like the numbers do all the work.
could have also been npc_face_template_00001.
@@alexandertiti I guess @thedoofs point is that "model number 10000 is way easier to differentiate from 10001 than "npc_face_template_00001" and "npc_face_template_00002" Which I think is true in this case.
7:00 if only we could have this NPC voiced by him and make him as our ally like Alexander or Blaidd in the DLC
4:26 Makes me wonder if they thought of making D male/female based on your gender like Anri in ds3
I think they were going to lean into how close the twin’s situation was to Marika and Radagon, but changed gears to make the reveal more impactful. Also, I don’t want to imagine a world where most players know D as a woman because the Waifu wars between her and Fia would be catastrophic
@@lm7677D doesn't even pop up that much and iirc dies early game too, so it would be funny watching people lose their heads over a woman they spoke to once to unlock early Dragonbarrow and then never talked to again again in their playthrough. Like okay dude try to sell me how much you love the girl you only listened one line of dialogue from, I will totally believe you
I always figured that the reason Old Knight Istvan looked young was because he was Numen. So he looks, like, 30 but is generally centuries to millenia old. Similar with Vyke's skin. I don't think it's ashy because of Frenzied Flame, I think he's just Dragon-blooded.
Shout outs to the Brian David Gilbert preset @ ~3:03.
3:08 Wow, Borat is in Elden Ring?
Is very nice
7:17 That's the Undertaker 100%
I dunno, I see Steve Buscemi.
LMAO i see it now, you are totally right
praying that he isn't in his American Badass gimmick here
saw it immediately, that's mark calloway
The characters with white hair, white eyelashes and pale red eyes could just be albino, rather than dedicated to Mogh's cult.
As an albino; we do not actually have red eyes. That is a misconception. At certain angles they may appear pinkish due to visible blood vessels, however we have the same eye colours as everyone else. Even purple. In fact: Albinos are the only people who can have naturally occurring violet eyes, thanks to the pink/red of the blood vessels mixing with a natural blue.
I made my Elden Ring character albino. White hair, brows, and lashes, and very pale skin, but with icy blue eyes with faint purple clouding. Quite pretty.
07:08 If you forget how limited the options for graphics were at the time, this could almost be an insult.
The kintsugi idea is so cool!
Theese unused characters might've been tried as concept of repairing broken vessels with gold. Which links to Marika and Radagons bodies (apparently broken beyond repair).
7:19 was probably made to look like Stannis from Game of Thrones, they bear a striking resemblance
Or Trevor from gta
The undertaker
ID 10000, maybe the dev test player avatar? Perhaps the original John Elden Ring?
How wonderful a Zullie upload on a Sunday, y'know it's gonna be a great day but interesting to know there are unused faces in Elden Ring, always amazes that there's still stuff to find.
For anyone wondering, at 2:29 the FaceParam ID of the Tanith pre-draft on the right is 10006.
You're welcome.
I think the blue-haired woman can actually be real Renna, the real Snow Witch who is the prototype for the doll (with blue hair and similar eyes) that now hosts Ranni's spirit
We don't know that Renna was her name, but yeah, that was my immediate thought.
entirely wrong, ranni's body is in the study hall tower.
@@BlueBerryMirtilo They were referring to an entirely separate NPC known as the Snowy Crone, who tutored Ranni, and whom her doll form was modeled after. Not Ranni herself.
I doubt it. Ranni's body is based on Renna, so she would most likely have 4 arms and not be a tarnished NPC.
@@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem I think it's worth noting that the marionette soldiers have 4 arms as well, so Ranni's doll body could simply be a heavily modified design.
The Elden Ring characters are all so good looking 😭
More highly attractive men would have been nice, but I suppose that's what the Tarnished is for.
@@thegloriouskingkronk8422 yura, rogier, vyke, d, radagon, Alexander, and boggart just to name a few
@@daniil.dankovsky I just know Radagon was an absolute godly lay. Ran around everywhere with his tits out like a massive sl**, and everytime he swings his weapons he makes sure to raise it up high and kind of stand at an angle to you to put his muscular body on full display. Rennala probably spent more time almost biting holes into her lower lip watching him decimate her army while barely dressed than actually fighting herself, and went into a catatonic state after he dumped her ass. He can't have done much more in their marriage than lie on lounges like Gwynevere, massive muscular pecs bared for her to oggle, while their kids did shit like go to war with stars and shit.
The homewrecker was Marika, who is Radagon, and I assume she had some degree of awareness of what he was doing with Rennala, because there's little other rational explanation for her doing a selfcest with the literal dogmatic half of her still shackled to the Greater Will. It completely screwed her over in the long run, so getting literally screwed for a bit must have been really worth it.
@@thegloriouskingkronk8422bro, loathsome dung eater, no need for anyone else
@@thegloriouskingkronk8422 Messmer’s gonna be one of them too, probably more would be added in the DLC.
I know this is an odd request and likely not easy to do, but could we get the sliders for some of these faces? So many of them are drenched in potential for characters and perfect to be used as bases
They are unique face templates, you can't recreate them in the character creator
DS Map Studio
3:11 wow it's my Bloodborne character
1980s Tetsuo Sakurai?!
Literally half a second before Mads Mikkelsen's picture came up, I practically shouted "That's Mads!" 🤣
There is something so great but also a bit funny in how you do not compromise for ads and stick with text. Our Zullie is un-corruptable.
what would really be incredible, would be a gallery for us to look at and check out their values to use for our own characters. some of these look really inspired! nice vid, per usual
7:58
Pinocchio? Is that you?
I like this kind of videos in a way. They are 99% speculation but that's what I find awesome about the franchise. I don't need a character talking for 10 minutes before the game ends so I understand every single detail. I prefer to see something and think hmmm, this might be this, or that, or maybe something I still hasn't seen.
The blue haired - blue eyed lady NPC made me think of Ranni. Not that they look anything alike, but the colorset matches. Doesn't necessarily has to be Ranni per say, could also be "the Snow Witch" from which Ranni's doll form was based on.
"Never judge a book by its cover" and here we are judging NPCs by their faces.
Well we literally have nothing else to judge them by.
hey physiognomy is a very real thing
It is nice to see their hard work. Thank you, Zullie.
Oooh the draconian skin with gold tattoos is definitely gonna be my next look.
Thank you for (thoughtfully) not trying to derive lore and results from these faces.
I know certain communities are utterly rabid about "cut content" and so forth, so
It's a very interesting look at the design and dev process, and shows what the did and did not cultivate to make the game.
Great vid as usual, its interesting to see what NPCs we couldve seen in game.
2:46 Radagon's eyes aren't ever shown... exactly. But in the Radagon icon and in his portrait at the Roundtable Hold, his eyes (or at least his right eye, as he's only shown in profile) are pitch black. Even in the final battle, his gold left eye is really just shards of the Elden Ring arranged to resemble an iris. (Funnily enough, even the manga depicts him with black eyes.)
By contrast, Godfrey's portrait shows him with gold eyes, from before he was exiled with the Tarnished. I feel they must have been very careful in how they chose to depict Radagon.
Is it possible for you too post the slider values, so people can make them in game? Or is it already somewhere?
Thanks for the video! I love the Dragonic features and the gold scar so much I immediately logged in and put one on my main Tarnished. They are from the related race as well, so that went perfect together!
Thanks zullie! What another fascinating video!
i wonder if 3:54 is Asimi, before and after getting the items for her cut quest? The white-faced red eyed woman isn't blood crazed, she's clearly made to represent *albinism.* her "other" form has natural pigmentation.
2:28 NAAAH the one on the right is Brandon Rogers xd
Just something I was thinking abt, could Mesmer be the one who stabbed Marika? The Elden beast was damaged where she was stabbed, so it couldn’t be the greater will. Also, the spear was red and it seems too perfect that Mesmer was hiding in plain sight the whole time.
I really missed your videos Zullie, sending all my love to you 🫶🏼
I want you to know that along with your beautifully simple and short videos, that I love your choice of OSTs! (Especially any Twilight Princess ones)
Adore your work, thank you so much for the care and effort you put into each one of your videos❤
Every upload adds more unique insight into what makes this game so wonderful to so many. The attention to detail you bring is quite charming. I’m sure it’s pretty taxing from time to time, but rest assured that you’ve got supporters that really appreciate what you do ✨
Thanks, Zullie
I'm glad you liked it, the long videos like this can be an ordeal and I had been worried whether my style would even work well in a longer format, but it's been nice to see how people have responded to them.
@@ZullietheWitch keep it up, team! We’re cheering for ya~
i really appreciate that you use timestamps to skip the thing, most tubers dont bother but its really nice
You do amazing work Zullie. Thanks for this. Hope youre doing well!
1:00- EURON GREYJOY SPOTTED 🦑🦑🦑🦑
happy you got sponsored! congrats. love your videos
damn, Imma need that Mads Mickleson sliders
Crazy to see how you’ve grown and progressed over time. Would be interesting to see you make your own game with everything you’ve learned.
The npc’s with the golden facial scars made me also immediately think of ichor (the Japanese gold repairing technique you mentioned also popped in there too), the blood of the gods in the old Greek pantheon (Hera and Zeus and all that), as it’s supposed to be golden in color. I know that thematically that would be out of left field but the thing of godliness and golden blood is why I thought of it.
I'm really glad to see you bring these videos out showcasing the hard work the devs put into the game that we wouldn't know about otherwise. It also makes for some great speculation!
Gerudo town night track is my vibe ❤
5:45 That really updated my journal
6:35 Hi Jschlatt
Amazing finds and breakdowns, such thorough content man kudos! Love it.
I've never seen a sponsor ad that is entirely text based dialog.
You make very good videos.
The dragonborn with the gold scars is so cool I'm just going to make a new faith build around that
3:05 - Brian David Gilbert is that you??
6:34 Now that the DLC has come out, I wonder if this guy is a rough draft of Igon, or they used him to inspire Igon's model.
Don't suppose we'll ever get a list of sliders for these faces or anything?
As you mention at the end, it's wonderful that we're able to see all these faces that someone sculpted but never made it in game. While this kind of work isn't it necessarily wasted without being seen by the audience, it's nice to acknowledge behind the curtain work.
I love these videos. They make me think, they have Zelda music which I absolutely adore. And they are about Elden Ring and other Souls games.
Another reason im looking forward to the DLC is finding out how tall the shadow Erdtree is in comparison to the regular one
It lowkey makes me happy to see you getting sponsors on your videos. Get that bag!
It's kind of crazy that they go through all the effort of making unique faces for characters whose faces you're never going to see.
all these details and so many of them are hidden behind helmets, glad to be able too see them though without the helmets on :D
I luv your videos! fr, you put so much effort to discover lore related thing based on data that I really hope tha Myazaki or his team put someone named Zullie in the game hahaha
Some of these are really nice. I wish there was a way for players to easily access them and use them for their characters
I recently realized that the black wolf mask seems to have some yellow in it's only open eye. Might wanna look at it Zullie!
Among all theses, I'm sure one of them must belong to Bloodhunter Raz! It's a shame they got rid of him before release though, still very sad about it.
i rly like the relaxing gerudo theme used as the bgm :)
This video has made me hopeful, thinking about all of the unique human faces that are yet to be born.
Okay wasn't expecting the war thunder ad, that's pretty funny man 😊
2:16 looks like a rough draft of gideon with a beard
Oh hey, the npc at the end of the first section is Igon from the dlc
I've decided these are all the faces of the DS2 Elyum Loyce ice people with the little knives
4:57 Maybe this was possibly what Ranni's original face was going to be revealed as.
Thank you so much for this. Might it be possible share some sliders for the more unique among these faces? (I regularly use your NPC sliders - thank you for those!)
Love the kintsugi style one! I’m still baffled that with all the themes of shattering, mending, and gold, that Kintsugi has no thematic mentions in the game!
The ad feels out of place but I'm not complaining, glad you can make some extra with your content!
i'm not surprised to hear that miyazaki had instructed designers to make characters look like real people, several of the faces in this and other videos do look like famous actors (sellen is a dead ringer for kristen wiig)
really cool and pretty faces. i had no idea you could do so good and detailed faces in elden ring. maybe i should spent some time to create something unique. cause visual changing cost nothing in the game
Once the DLC comes out and I finish it I will be comoing back to this video to see which of these ended up in it.
Now when someone asks me who my favorite Elden Ring character is, I can say Mads Mikkelsen.
I wonder if any of these faces were meant for the cut character Sceiron, the Graverobber Lord. I guess we will never know.
For a land with so much light the npcs sure do avoid the sun. Pasty hall of fame.
Zelda music is so distinctive
This face makes me think of the old albinurac albus who gives you half a medallion 2:16
You come for the content, I come for the music
your videos always cheer me up when im pissed off
I think the fist face shown, the one with frenzied eyes, looks like shabriri's woe, so he might be shabriri
