Probably the most amusing tidbit of War Thunder news right now isn't yet another classified/restricted document appearing on their forums, but the admission by Ukranian armor crews that they learned where to shoot on Russian tanks from "video games".
Didn't you release this same video like 2 weeks ago?
Yeah, for sure this is a re-upload.
T-4-6
I swear I've seen this video before.
The transition from Roderika's lovely turquoise eyes to a diving attack helicopter gave me such whiplash.
lol yeah a bit jarring
The monetary ad shilling is real.
My favorite Elden Ring character is the Apache.
Flirting in The Lands Between must be such a hassle. You can't even admire their eyes without seeing horrors beyond your comprehension.
The Eldritch horror makes it hotter
@@hairlessgrizzly559 you're one of great insight, i see
Imagine stereotypical fanfictions describing a person's eyes. "I stare into her burning yellow orbs, allowing me to see the Three Fingers in all their grotesque glory, driving me to madness".
No less treacherous than flirting IRL these days.
I'm into it. Also allows for new flirting lines
3:27 interstingly, when you tell Varre you have doubts about the Two Fingers at the Rose Church to begin his quest, he says that they "harbor no love for our kind" - meaning he may actually be Tarnished after all
True. Also, it's stated that most of the war surgeons Mohg kidnaped to tame the Formless Mother were tarnished, but maybe not Varre specifically.
I always assumed that he is tarnished, and just being a prick. Besides, the only way to get into Mohg's service is to kill your maiden and stain an oath cloth in her blood. He does make an exception for you being maidenless, so I think it stands to reason he also had a maiden once and killed her to complete his own trial.
@@yujin_sumeragi or maybe he killed our maiden instead, conniving twit that he is!
2:46 Dood, Vyke has been looksmaxing so hard beneath that helmet.
i mean, who's to say there weren't other reasons for Lansseax liking him so much 👀
Him and Sellen are crazy
I feel like a grandma with all this new slang
@@TheGirlInFandomWorld Don't worry, so do I, and it's even worse since I don't even speak English so it's even harder to keep up with everything 😂
Lanssemaxxing
4:11 Rya's dialogue heavily implies that she expects us to kill Boggart to get her necklace back, and she even assumes that we killed him when we give it back to her. She even says that we're exactly the kind of Tarnished the Volcano Manor is looking for, indicating that this whole thing was a test and Rya may have intentionally let her necklace get stolen in the first place. Furthermore, maybe Rya allowed Boggart specifically to steal the necklace because he actually was on Volcano Manor's hit list.
I agree that she assumes we killed Boggart, but I don’t think she targeted him. I believe the story of her having an innocent soul. She seemed wholly unaware of the purpose of Volcano Manor.
I did her quest yesterday (i actually missed him on my first playthrough) and noticed she was very leaning into me killing him and thought I did, but I didn't make that connection. That makes alot of sense.
@@zorinzorinzorin5243I think it was patches that set it up. She does seem very in on it though, maybe unaware of the manors business but not opposed to revenge. I'm pretty sure patches mentions her if you missed her and is also acquainted with boggart. Now we're getting into it but perhaps it was patches way of punishing boggarts greed, and find new members for the manor
@@zorinzorinzorin5243 Rya is well aware that volcano manor hunts and kills other tarnished, so she just assumes we killed boggart. She does believe the cause is just, though, which it is not. Or at the very least highly debatable.
@@thelandofchickens I thought you meant leaning into you, literally 😂
I clicked again because of Sorceress Sellen ✋
They didn’t have to make her that bad fr. The voice was already doing it for me.
She’s gorgeous! Shame her pretty face is hidden in a mask.
Pinoy curse, -80% female resistance
Men of culture: Welcome 🤝
Same so real
Worth rewatching every time just to be reminded of how beautiful they made Sellen for no reason~
Love it when developers go out of their way to go the extra mile.
she's got nice feet, true
I wonder if they do that because they know people like Zulli exist who can mod the games to see people without their helmets or without their AI being active and with an unlocked camera.
Since, how else would you ever see this in a normal playthrough?
I'm too busy not getting stomped by Godfrey to admire the intricacy of his eye-colour lmao
The most fabulous teacher indeed
she's got nice feеt, true
The dragon eye peeking through the brim of the witch's hat goes hard.
is it dragon tho? looks frenzied to me. dragons a clear yellow with vertical iris
That was definitely frenzied eyes @@kingcharlie5909
@@kingcharlie5909 oh, seems I misjudged, they do look like frenzied ones.
This video had to be reuploaded to correct an error with the sponsor segment. I apologize for any confusion.
I've also taken the opportunity to move the text on the first slide to the bottom of the screen, as some viewers had noted that the sponsor notice was covering it in the initial upload, particularly when viewing the video on mobile, so I'm interested how that feels.
:fatcat:
No problem! Im glad to see you making some money, anyone who judges people for running ads is lying if they say they wouldn't do the same.
Always excited to see u upload ❤
@@serunderscorethe 7th time you said it sounded a lil nitpicky
FUCK
SHIT
that's okay
@jakegold1472 in my experience the sponsor notification disappears after about 10 seconds, so it should be gone fairly quickly around when the first slide ends.
We see Millicent in several different states throughout her questline: Initially she's ailing in the church with unkempt hair, then we see her standing up with her hair neatly done, and again a slightly different model after she receives the prosthetic. I wonder if her eyes change over the course of the questline or if it's the same all throughout.
what i recall, is there isnt really a difference, but it could be there just too subtle to notice ingame under normal circumstances?
afaik it's the same face data throughout, with the only difference being her hair.
I wonder if it's just some bit of weirdly specific realism. Tying your hair into a ponytail is a pain in the ass with just one hand and I think the first thing Millicent did after getting the prostetic was retying her hair
@@Katepuzzilein Infortunately, she tie them before having two arms "back"
When we give her the golden niddle.
I love when I’m staring into the eyes of a fair maiden and then a helicopter swoops into frame to remind me to stay focused.
I feel like what I got from this is that Sir Gideon Offnir the Somewhat Well Informed, is an escapee from a Dethklok concert.
The fact that red eyes being related to Mogh doesn't seem to match up with everyone makes it feel more like it has to do with the blood god, not Mogh himself.
Miyazaki putting in the tiniest details knowing damn well some random hacker will discover it years after the game is released.
or he's simply entertaining Zullie, which is strange because he for some reason hasn't acknowledged her
@@thecommentguy9380 There are a lot of dataminers like her for all the souls games. The details are there because Fromsoft pays attention to detail.
@@thecommentguy9380 Well i mean from his perspective Zulli *is* just "some random hacker"
i love the ways eyes taste
Ok Hyetta
I think you mean "grapes"
thank you zullie for your contributions, I was wondering if you could check out what's behind the Fia door in Roundtable hold, the thing visible through the door gap isn't what's visible in videos where people out-of-bounds explore behind the door
I don't remember if I've ever specifically looked in there, so I'll see if there's anything interesting.
@@ZullietheWitch thank you for being so freaking epic
Speaking of that, a close look at the details of the Hold as well as the items in it would be cool.
@@Tahanok2 maybe in comparison to its twin in Leyndell.
I wonder what color Miquella's eyes might be. Gold is a safe assumption, but considering the other Empyreans we meet, I suppose it's not guaranteed. We never truly see Ranni's eyes, just the doll she inhabits modeled after her old mentor; Malenia's eyes are rotted over; we never actually see Marika's eyes at any point (Radagon's are depicted as pure black in both the Radagon Icon and in his portrait at the Roundtable Hold, but he isn't an Empyrean himself).
If Melina is an Empyrean as well, this would at least establish a pattern of sealed/missing eyes between her and Ranni, assuming the spectral face is Ranni's true self. Oddly enough, Marika's fractured form has her entire left eye removed, socket and all, perhaps reiterating this trend. Concept art depicts Melina with a violet right eye, though, so perhaps it's not implausible that Miquella could have a violet eye as well... That is, if we ever actually get to meet him, lol.
Melina has a violet eye in the Frenzied Flame ending if you get it without her burning herself at the mountaintops of the giants, so that's confirmed at least. Miquella with purple eye/s would be incredibly interesting depending on how they handle St Trina in the DLC.
@@sylvastreak Blaidd's eyes seem to be the same violet hue as Melina's, and they even have the same sort of galactic whirl. The Beast Eye given to us by Gurranq/Maliketh, likely plucked from his own skull, is also violet...
I wonder if the Empyreans were all marked with a violet eye, but since Marika and Ranni are the only "naturalborn" Empyreans, the Two Fingers granted them shadows who inherited this coloration? If so, I wonder if "Shadow of the Erdtree" might reveal more about the nature of these vassals?
But I hadn't even considered St. Trina's eyes, haha. That would probably make all the more sense.
What if Melina and Miquella are the same person? Melina being a projection of sorts to guide you on your quest, while Miquella’s physical form is trapped in Mohgwyn Palace. Miquella is known to take on multiple forms and identities, with St. Trina being the most well known, and his mother/father is also up to the same tricks. It would fit with the theory of Melina being some kind of offshoot or child of Marika too.
@@Astfgl I always figured Melina was simply Miquella and Malenia's sister.
The demigods tend to be born as triplets, as with Morgott, Mohg, and Godwyn, and Radahn, Rykard, and Ranni, so it would be odd if Miquella and Malenia were the exception. (Godrick also doesn't fit the triplet pattern, but only because Godwyn died, and he was an inheritor of sorts.)
Melina's hair is a rosy auburn color, like a fusion of red and gold. Miquella and Malenia are essentially clones of Marika and Radagon, but what if Melina was born after the two parents fractured into one? Perhaps none of the demigods even know of Melina's existence, then.
There's also the fact that she wears the Traveler's Garb, like Millicent and her sisters. Plus, her name itself matches pretty closely with Miquella and Malenias'. The three butterflies we acquire-Nascent, Aeonian, and Smoldering-further illustrate some connection between the three.
@@michaelmannix1604 That's also a good take. I hope the DLC will provide some answers soon.
It's simple: the witch uploads and I watch.
>"Error" with the sponsored segment
>Sponsored by War Thunder
Did... did classified documents get leaked in the sponsored segment?
My first thought as well lol
They leaked Lands Between Fire Giants documents D:
Moongrum looks exactly like what I thought he would 🗿
This gave me an interesting idea. Milicent is "an offshoot" of Melania but it's hard to know exactly what that means. However, what happened to Malenia's arm that was replaced with a prosthetic? Specifically her hand and fingers... I think that somehow Milicent and her 4 sisters grew from Malenia's rotted off arm-specifically from the fingers of her rotten hand. Then they "sprouted" up and grew with Gowry's rot invocations, which would make the "offshoot" description make more sense.
The prosthetic was made from Miquella's unalloyed gold, designed to stop the scarlet rot. However, scarlet rot itself is known to be able to mutate things, as we can see from Calid's wildlife. It's possible that the sisters are direct clones from Melania, but it's unlikely that it was mutated to that degree, and none of the sisters seem strong enough to be part empyrean.
Makes sense, her signature move is literally a blooming bud and her awakening/ascension to godhod is also referred to as blooming.
Rot also seems to be more like a disease than a poison.
Like, sth caused by the spores of a plant/fungus
I feel like this all weaves together too perfectly to not have a deeper meaning rather than just being aesthetically pleasing.
Great theory! Also would make sense as to why Millicent can live a comparatively long time with Scarlet Rot affliction while everything else in the game dies to it so quickly. When you proc it on an enemy (or get it proc'd on you) it's a very active disease that quickly kills the host. But Malenia has the Rot essence inside her and it's slowly eating away at her over many years, like she has some level of natural resistance to it due it being ingrained in her DNA. Would make sense for her "offshoots" to have the same trait (but still be more heavily crippled by it due to being mere humans instead of demigods)
@@kadinwisniewski6928 malania is definitely resistant to the scarlet rot, but most of that is due to the unalloyed gold arm miquella gave her. It was a gift by him to quell her disease. Of course, milicent was surviving even before you give her the needle and arm.
Sucks you had to reupload, but I'll gladly give it a rewatch. I'd be back around to watch it again in a couple of months anyhow 😂
Thanks for always having interesting, quality videos, Zullie!
I thought this was reuploaded. Why the reupload?
@@minespatch According to the description, there was a mistake in the sponsor segment that had to be corrected.
It's a shame that we got special unique eyes for things like getting a certain number of dragon incantations but never a glintstone themed eyes for something like learning all spells or finishing Sellen's quest.
the eyes that we do unlock do all seem to hint at some outer god or force taking over us (flame of frenzy, formless mother, turning into a magma wyrm) though I would assume atleast learning the primordial sorceries would have an affect on your character
Well, learning magic doesn't change you. To learn Dragon incantations, however, you have to eat the heart of a dragon, an action that is said to slowly turn you into a draconic creature (Every Magma wyrm in the game was once like you). So, between memorizing a spell and altering your being, which one do you think should be visible on your body ?
Unless you gazed into the Primeval current for it, like Sellen's 2 masters, but your eyes wouldn't be your only body part turning into minerals
@@uninconnu5844
Half your body turning into a rock after learning the primeval sorceries would be badass.
@@CazadorSlayer Sounds like too much work. If its not something from their previous games they can reuse, from wont bother
"are my eyes graced of gold anon?"
I think that hair color is important too, at least when it comes to the divine family. Each of the descendants inherits from one of the parents with some curious symbolism.
The easiest one to see is Radagon's fierce red, passed to Malenia and Radahn, both great warriors alike their father.
It can also be seen with kind and graceful gold of Marika, inherited by Godwyn and Miquella, who are associated with kindness and how closely they are associated with Erdtree and the Golden Order.
The next to are less apparent but I think they make sense too.
Godfrey's grey is color of rulers, he was the first Elden Lord, and it can be seen on Morgot and Godrick (even if he was a distant offshot), both of which we find ruling over certain place.
And lastly, Rennala's black of defiance, who fought with the Golden Order at first, later inherited by Rykard who joined with the Serpent to fight the Erdtree. That also brings to another conclusion. I think that Ranni's original hair color is not red as suggested, but instead black, signaling her absolute betrayal she commits against the Erdtree and all of her family.
Rykard is blond
Great observation
Damn. Vargram goes so hard without his helmet
Well, lets watch again.
One thing about Thops and Thops' Barrier reflecting incantations is that it isn't actually unique to him because Carian Retaliation also reflects incantations as well as sorceries, just with the additional effect of summoning glintblade swords. It even and especially can dispel Radagon's and Elden Beast's holy attacks, which I don't know about any code flags, but lore-wise would be the strongest forms of holy magic in the world.
I close my right eye and it is Carrie Ann Moss. I close my left eye and it is Noel Fielding. Fascinating.
I instinctively started humming the Twilight Princess Castle Town music before the video even started. Imagine my surprise when the tune kept going after I’d stopped.
Excellent taste as always, Zullie!
Hey Zullie thank you so much for making a longer Video, i look forward to every single one so this one is a special treat! Thank you so much for your efforts :)
Man, the moment that T-72B3 rolled across Limgrave, I knew the armored cores were in for a big surprise.
0:25 WHY DID YOU HAVE TO FRAME THAT SO WELL
I think the Volcano Manor just assumes you kill Boggart, even if you actually buy Rya's necklace back and let him go
4:15 Lusat have mercy upon me *eyes pop out of head*
Is this is a reupload? I could've sworn I'd seen this all before.
Yeah there's something wrong with the sponsor part so they have to reupload
patches sharing eye colours with the dung eater and godfrey is interesting to me. he was the most enduring of all the characters in his Souls incarnation (considering he was around when the ashen one performed an old growth slash-and-burn on the ringed city [and therefore the world])...
tbh id play war thunder again but im pretty sure for me thats the equivalent of growing bangs.
The mention about certain spells specifically affecting Tarnished reminds me of certain weapons and such affecting only Hollows in the Souls games. In particular I'm thinking of the Hollowslayer Greatsword from DS3. I like that we see its impact in action when fighting Gael. In phase 1 before the cutscene Gael is not considered hollow, but after the cutscene he is considered hollow and the HSGS does its 20% bonus damage against him. Similarly to the Farron Greatsword doing 20% bonus damage against anything abyssal. I like the added effort of spells and weapons affecting enemies based on more subtle details like that.
I actually had a similar thought about the incantations and spells that say they only effect Tarnished, I think it does allude to these things being specific in game, but from a standpoint of character models I completely see what you mean by that.
Zullie I’m always so excited to see your work out out on your page. I’m sure we all as a community appreciate your in depth analysis of the games and hope you are doing well!
I would have imagined Gideon had a crew cut like like a military guy
Legitimately the coolest ad bit Ive seen, Ive never seen a silent one before lol
Ok i wasnt expecting the war thunder jumpscare, this game follows me everywhere lmao.
I always love the music choice in your videos
I'm glad zullie has sponsors now, they really deserve to get compensated for the research and theory they do!!
Eyes are windows to the soul.
Seeing the faces of all of these familiar characters makes me wish the player camera angle didn't obscure them so much
Eyes are some of my favorite things to design, even if they won’t get noticed. I use eyes a lot for symbolism when designing characters. It’s great that Elden Ring dived into something similar, and that creators are pointing it out!
On that note, I did Varre’s questline and my once blind man now has crystal clear (well, bloodshot) eyes. I’m glad being a blood seeking fiend has cured his blindness (I actually had no idea it changed his eye color until recently lmao)
I was surprised to see the length of this video, I hope we get more 10-ish minute long videos in the future!
Hope you're resting well, Zullie. : ) Thanks for what you do.
I dont mind rewatching these :D
Hey, nice, a reminder to watch this again. serendipitous!
An opportunity to rewatch a Zullie video?
Heck yeah lets gooo! 😆
Just gonna ket this video play by itself while i do something else, since i already watched it but i want you to have the viewtime since your videos are always great. Keep up the awesome work, cheers from Brazil !!!
Thank you again for your knowledge fellow wizard 👌
Referring to him as "The Great Kenneth Haight" was great. Thanks for the hard work on the interesting video!
Love warthunder. Get that bag Zullie!
Playing in the background to support Zullie 👍
I thought this was a reupload, and it was odd to not find anyone in the comments talking about it initially, and I'm glad that the description proved me right ahfnfg. That being said, I still rewatched the video, this topic in particular was edpecially interesting when presented in the previous upload so a refresher was nice regardless :)
I'll do my due diligence and rewatch the video
I was having really uncomfortable deja vu for the first minute of the video until I finally decided to read the description lol
1:12 Did not expect this part at all.
Glad you got sponsored, regardless of form of your videos, altho in long term it might be a bit of immersive-breaker.
I see a Zullie video, I click. It's that simple.
I will gladly rewatch this video and the sponsored segment so Zullie can get that bag! 💰
This is a detail that I picked up on pretty early on and from that point on, whenever I made a new character, I paid special attention to their eye color and what it means for them. Even if those eyes mostly stay hidden under a mask/helmet 😅
Off-topic, but I just noticed that Rya and Tanith share the same hairstyle. It's such a sweet untold story of their mother-daughter bond, showing that Tanith herself taught Rya all the things a little woman should know and Rya followed her with trust and admiration.
Babe wake up, Zullie's posting about eyes again
Very cool
I didn't expect this video to be how I learned the D twins names
6:15 man’s higher than the stratosphere
Seeing boggart so beautiful makes me extremely sad about him being tortured by the dung eater.
Zullie be seeking the great ones with this recent obsession with eyes
If I had to guess, based on his eyes, I would say the original plan was for Rico to parallel Rodericka in the same way Iji parallels Hewg: the non-roundtable upgrade merchant
I never saw a lot of the NPCs up so close or unmasked. A lot of the guys are pretty handsome. Sellen is so beautiful despite it being impossible without hacking to see her face
There is a recurring focus on eyes, reminds me of the beast plague from bloodborne
The eyes, chico, they never lie.
this says uploaded 10 hours ago but I swear I watched this exact video a few weeks ago
edit: just checked description now I understand why
anyways good video it sucks how you had to reupload it I dont even know what that does with the algorithm or anything but whatever
That’s why I gave my tarnished radiant grey eyes like silver and dark hair in the manner of the Noldor elves in Tolkien. Just so happens seeing this video there could be in lore explanation.
Perhaps a lot of models were completed before certain story changes, so in in some cases the color might be inconsistent. Or a model (for example Thops) was intended for a different character, so he was left with gold eyes.
You can see the eyeballs in the Tarnished's head if you move the camera close to him/her while he/she is opening a catacomb door, from the viewpoint of the door.
5:16 snake 🐍 is like “hello yt”
lmao
re-liking the re-upload, so I can re-support my favorite... uh... re-youtuber?
hmmmmm....
I'm a bit of a re-searcher.
I watched through the whole video before realizing this is a reupload LOL
Gideon looks so incredibly sinister and judgmental, almost like a Ghoul
Sellen's pretty. Nice work.
to the point about thops: his sorceries are green, which combines the blue of glintstone magic and the yellow of holy magic
With Hawkshaws video about the Color Theory in Elden Ring this makes it all more interesting. Eleonora gets her bloody finger severed by Yura, his dying move to save her from the 'cessblood'. Then, all the academy has blue eyes to show their intelligence.
the war thunder ad completely caught me off guard and made me think the tanks were part of an elden ring deep dive.
algorithm boost so the reupload doesn't hurt your metrics 👍
The amount of people I know that would kill for someone like sorceress Sellen is greater than just myself
Ah, that first dead finger maiden. Probably the greatest horror we all pass over is the absence of death. She is still in the body, it’s just broken, paralyzed and waiting to decay to free the soul.
Not me being so desperate for elden ring lore videos I watched the entire thing through not realizing it was a reupload I had already seen haha. Just thought there was gonna be more added on from last time and it was being gone over again oops
Roderika's eyes look more blue at this point.
As it appears the camera shot is from when she first arrives at the Round Table Hold, next to the fireplace。
1:08
Then later, when she's taken out of the vicinity of the fireplace, her eyes appear more teal... even cyan。
A blue... with tinges of green。
7:45
It's fascinating to see all these characters unmasked; when... typically... they're *only* found, within the confines of the game, as being covered。
This attention to details for characters, whose features would not be seen by the vast majority of players;
makes it seem the nuance was created for those that delve beyond the confines of the base game。
Almost as if the director has been dedicated to creating these virtual realms... of such depth... for years。
All the while... watching... as "miners" tease out story details from behind "the curtain"。
Knowing what color of make-up is used by the actors, only tells us what color of make-up they use。
It's when they are on stage... in their environment... do we see the reason that coloration was chosen。
By a director that is known for being so attentive to detail, that he would personally be involved with character designs; all the way to the style of buttons on a coat。
Gideon is a looker, as usual.
Omg i wouldn't have guessed that's what yura looks like 😂
Its such a nice touch that Eleonora has normal eyes, even though she is bloody finger. We only see her after she killed Yura, so maybe something started to happen with her, questioning loyality etc and she just invade us right after battle with Yura as some sort of deathwish?
Watching this video proves how little of Elden Ring I actually saw during my playthrough. Cause I recognized maybe a quarter of these npcs.
It’s possible that the glintstones are likely the cause for the blue eyes that a few sorcerer have.🐱
For my DLC preparation playthrough I’ve created my character with heterochromia. One eye is blue, the other is golden. As I can’t decide between my two favorite endings: The age of Order and The age of the Stars
What a shame that the game’s visual language has a different meaning for that
