The hype was just unreal. They dropped this trailer and then just nothing for along time. The hype was built up and they completely knocked it out of the park. Easily one of the greatest games I’ve ever played
Seriously, remember when we were so desperate for information we made up an entire game with in depth lore and characters? We'd bet that a gameplay reveal would happen at every single gaming event? We went insane and then all started to turn hollow at the lack of information, splintering the fan base into multiple subsections? And then the game comes out and blows every expectation out of the water, becomes massively successful selling millions upon millions of copies, AND wins GOTY. Probably one of the biggest success stories in gaming history.
This trailer hits different after completing the game. Especially the parts with the hammering. It felt like Marika and Radagon were fighting for control as one tries to break the Elden Ring while the other desperately tries to repair it before it can be completely shattered.
@@hamyman35 Yeah. You get to see Godrick in his early stages of grafting following the siege on Lyndell or somewhere at least after the Shattering. You get to see Marika break the ring while Radagon desperately tries to repair it. Malenia’s popping her arm into place, then with Finlay attacking Radahn. Then Radhan on his knees succumbing to Malenia’s rot following her bloom. It’s so cool to see little glimpses of these moments. Tbh I hope George RR Martin releases his lore book that he gave to FromSoftware.
Watching this trailer while knowing who all these characters are and what they're doing changes everything. There was so much being shown to us, but we couldn't possibly know.
@zak june 16th? keep dreaming lad, as i said, everytime you watch this you are two minutes & twenty seconds closer, didn't say it would come out on june 16th, wich most likely won't happen.
1:42 I find this scene great after finishing the game, the contrast between Marika appreciating how the ring is destroyed and Radagon regretting the decision.
I think what should also be appreaciated is the fissures that appear over their bodies. I once thought them to be tattoos until now when I can clearly see its their body that's breaking from the strain needed to break the Elden Ring.
Re-watching this now after finishing the game and I just realized that the Radagon/Marika twist is right there. This is probably the best game that I have ever played.
I remember how many of us were super confused about it. People were discussing wether if the person with the hammer was a man or a woman. Turns out everyone was right

Sekiro came out last year. It's literally been A year since their last game. Calm down. It'll probably take three years like most of their stuff does. If it's a much bigger scope, maybe 4 at the most. Fromsoft is nothing if not reliable, dunno why people are suddenly not trusting them to release a game in a timely manner.
@@ForeverMasterless people are starting to have trust issues because From has never done something like this before; that is, releasing a teaser and then absolutely no info for over a year Not to mention, Elden Ring has already been in development for more than 3 years
This trailer actually shows us so much. The constant switching between Marika shattering the elden ring and Radagon trying to repair it. You can also see their body crack with each strike, indicating how both of them are actually the same person and how the elden ring is literally a part of them. Radahn fighting Malena and her cleanrot knights and Godrick grafting limbs to his body.
1:42 Marika staring at her actions, content in finally having shattered the Elden Ring. 1:46 Radagon kneeling at the Elden Ring’s altar, in despair at not being able to mend it.
I'm re-re-re-rewatching, I didn't notice that every time Radagon strikes, his body disintegrates further. I always thought it was the final hit that caused it. The more he 'tries', the more he damages the ring and thus himself. Also, the second Marika reappears, all the ring's fragments that were suspended in the air start to fall as the light dims. Also, we see Radagon's left arm start to crumble away, explaining his glowing arm. I haven't finished SOTE but I guess we'll see even more after that :D
5 years later, the game and DLC have become one of the best video games ever created, having a huge impact on the gaming world, turning into masterpieces.
Input the Konami code and dance around the crab villagers for exactly 5 hours, 37 minutes, 51 seconds and 0.0235 mili seconds to unlock the secret machinegun
0:15 - Marika destroying the Elden Ring 0:32 - Godrick becoming a Grafted, while praying to his ancestors (Godfrey and Godwyn) 0:50 - Again, Marika destroying the Elden Ring. 0:59 - Malenia preparing her arm, before the Battle of Aeonia and the fight with Radahn. 1:09 - Radagon trying to repair the Elden Ring 1:12 - Finlay stabbing Radahn to save Malenia. 1:15 - Elden Ring almost destroyed. Marika regreting Godwyn's death. 1:23 - Radahn falling to the Scarlet Rot 1:30 - Radagon trying to repair the Elden Ring in a final, desperate try. 1:41 - Elden Ring finally destroyed and Marika feeling some relief after this, while Radagon is regreting he could not repair the Elden Ring.
1:11 You can actually see Finlay Cleanrot Knight who saved Malenia's life by charging into Radahn. It's so cool to know what is going on in the trailer after all this time. Edit: Most likely it's not Finlay (probably another Cleanrot Knight Hero), but still cool to understand all the lore in these trailers after all that time. (Sorry if i mislead someone)
Is that really Finlay? The summon we get in-game has the Halo Scythe while this one has an early version of the Cleanrot Spear that seems to lack the buckler attached to the in-game model.
Are u sure? The spirit ashes say she saved Malenias life by carrying her back to the Haligtree, not by charging Radahn. They also wield different weapons.
@@AlejandroGonzalez-ft4si she saved her mistress, I mean after she poisoned Radahn do you honestly believed he wouldn't try to kill her? Plus Cleanrot Knight uses sword, spear and halo scythe. Finlay possible grabbed a spear and thrust it at Radahn as Radahn does have many weapons all inside of him on his back and other places.
@@marcus22greene I think the assumption is that after Malenia activated her scarlet bloom, it incapacitated both her and Radahn, which is why the lore tells us there was no victor. So Finlay couldn't have fought off Radahn to save Malenia after this, and I'm pretty sure an incredible feat like that would have been mentioned in her spirit description. Finlay is still the MVP for carrying her and protecting her all the way back tho
@topple I feel like that it rly told us what dark souls 2 would be about, the trailer doesnt mention anything about gods or higher purposes it just creates more setting for dark souls which dark souls 2 kinda was
@@kingofstrangeness7014 the biggest criticism of the demons souls remake is that it damaged a ton of the atmosphere of the original. The game looks incredible, sure, but all the colors and overall brightness of the game took a lot out of the eeriness of the original. Take boletaria palace for example: the remake is all bright and colorful compared to the washed out original which gives it a certain aura of dread that something is terribly wrong with the whole place, while the remake just feels like an average castle on an average day.
Elden Ring literally helped me quit smoking cigarettes after 33 years of it. No lie. Helped me start to rurn my life around. Don't know any other way to say it. Currently enjoying the dlc.
I can’t believe this trailer already showed the main plottwist of the game back in 2018. And also that it’s so well hidden you wouldn’t even get it unless you know about it. This is amazing.
yeah, i remember back when this dropped I tried to figure out whether the smith was a man or a woman. Makes sense after solving Godmasks riddle and beating the game.
@@matheuscruz8574 Radagon is Marika, I don't know where you guys are getting that they merge but I have not seen a single source in game or otherwise that they were two different beings.
Nah, DS1, DS3 and Blood Borne are definitely better. This game is basically just dark souls 3 but with an Ubisoft style open world sadly… Like it’s not a bad game at all, its just not that revolutionary in its open world design. Couldn’t finish it, got bored of finding a dungeon, it being the same with same enemies and same bosses copy pasted lol. Would rather they go back to the old school way they made it. But people have spoken and they want it to be easier and more accessible. This might possibly be the death of the original Souls formula for sure Hopefully we get more games like Sekiro and Armored Core 6. Or the next open world they make is actually interesting without copy pasting bosses. Would be better if the world was 1/4 of the size and had the interconnectedness of DS1 (thats still the best world design I have played)
@@themadham4836 We got deracine in 2018 and sekiro in 2019 by fromsoftware. This one will release maybe in 2020 so, we got new games every year by fromsoftware
Man I wasn't really expecting anything for a while after Sekiro, I mean, it has been a sensation and in work for a long time, I thought they were taking some time, but, they just don't relax ever, dayum... Hidetaka Miyazaki reminds me of Satoru Iwata in some ways, a very passionate, dedicated developer and a restless working man, I hope to be astonished for almost another decade by his work! (Kojima aswell, I hope they're gonna do something at some point)
01:40 This moment always gets me hyped, its like the "Everyone is here" in the smash ultimate trailler. Marika is looking at the Destroyed ring/new world and then collapsing with a perfect fade out to Radagon kneeling after failing to repair the ring. It's even better after finishing the game
@@kaz7886 they had to start developing from home and only returned to office by the end of may/begining of june. Whatever they were preparing to show had to be delayed, cause development took a hit... TGA is our hope now
They really hid all of the main concepts and twists right in front of our noses didn't they. (M=R, Who shattered the ring, Rot,Grafting) What a great trailer, with context about the characters and the world this has a lot of meaning.
Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Dark Souls III, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice... As soon as I see Miyazaki's name, I get immediatly hyped, like really hyped. Crossing fingers for a 2020 release.
@@frankes028 That's right. I've loved all the games that Miyazaki has done. And although I don't hate it, I didn't enjoy Dark Souls 2 as much as the others, and certainly I don't love it.
I discovered Bloodborne and Darks Souls years later after there release. You can’t imagine the hype to finally play a from soft games when everything isn’t discovered !
I'll never forget how truly hyped I was for this game. Never had I been this hyped for a game before. I never thought I'd like a game more than Halo 3 because nothing beats nostalgia. But this... this surpassed it by miles.
1:12 That's Cleanrot Knight Finlay, Knightess of Malenia the Blade of Miquella, planting the spear that wounded Radahn and caused him to fall which allowed Malenia to impale herself and bleed the Scarlet Rot into him, thus making their battle a "stalemate". I never want to hear anyone say Radahn wasn't going to win this fight against Malenia ever again. Malenia had massive help.
Not only that, but even Blaidd states that Radahn was the strongest of all the demigods, meaning no one could beat him 1v1, Malenia is indeed a liar and a cheat but not only that, Radahn is still able to stop the meteors in the sky even while fully mad
Finlay is like Howland Reed to Malenia's Ned Stark. She (Finlay) helps her bannerman win against the most powerful general of the realm (Swordsman in ASOIAF's case)
Oh, a Hollow, aren't you? Tired of waiting? It's ok, we can rot here together, in peace. EDIT : rotting for over 500 days and still going.

Edit 5 : actually February 25 or something, I'm cool with that
I came back to this trailer for the "I doubt you could even imagine it" because im still in disbelief we got a release date and a gameplay trailer. This game is already my game of the decade.
It’s really interesting how you can see what seems to be Marika in many shots, but with more context actually looks much more like Radagon in other shots
You can clearly see, who's who by their hairstyles and body shapes alone, i dont know if you've seen a man and woman's body side by side but they look quite different.
Looking back on this game's trailer is like looking back how beautiful you were when you were younger but remembering you are much more beautiful today
I kinda did tho. It was pretty obvious that both the woman and the man (marika and radagon) were extremely similar in appearance so it was pretty easy to assume they were two halves of the same person.
1:12 Cleanrot Knight Finlay stabs Radahn in some area near his abdomen or chest, then Malenia comes and stabs herself applying rot into the wound Radahn had, then Malenia explodes into the Scarlet Bloom and probably knocks out or incapacitates Radahn for a moment. With both demi-gods almost done for, Finlay retreats, dragging Malenia away from the battle and leaving Radahn, howling at the sky.
turns out the hype was real

Are you sure about that
0:15 - Marika destroying the Elden Ring
0:32 - Godrick becoming a Grafted, while praying to his ancestors (Godfrey and Godwyn)
0:50 - Again, Marika destroying the Elden Ring.
0:59 - Malenia preparing her arm, before the Battle of Aeonia and the fight with Radahn.
1:09 - Radagon trying to repair the Elden Ring
1:12 - Finlay stabbing Radahn to save Malenia.
1:15 - Elden Ring almost destroyed. Marika regreting Godwyn's death.
1:23 - Radahn falling to the Scarlet Rot
1:30 - Radagon trying to repair the Elden Ring in a final, desperate try.
1:41 - Elden Ring finally destroyed and Marika feeling some relief after this, while Radagon is regreting he could not repair the Elden Ring.
I just got back to this trailer and saw all this too, great trailer telling you what happened without telling you anything until you play the game.
bro
The hero everyone needs but doesn't deserve ❤
Isn’t Godwyn Godrick’s brother?
Pretty tragic honestly considering the twist of Marika and Radagon
1:11 You can actually see Finlay Cleanrot Knight who saved Malenia's life by charging into Radahn. It's so cool to know what is going on in the trailer after all this time.
Edit: Most likely it's not Finlay (probably another Cleanrot Knight Hero), but still cool to understand all the lore in these trailers after all that time. (Sorry if i mislead someone)
Is that really Finlay? The summon we get in-game has the Halo Scythe while this one has an early version of the Cleanrot Spear that seems to lack the buckler attached to the in-game model.
@@magpie3070 Maybe Finlay got promoted to commander, since only commanders have a Halo Scythe
Are u sure? The spirit ashes say she saved Malenias life by carrying her back to the Haligtree, not by charging Radahn. They also wield different weapons.
@@AlejandroGonzalez-ft4si she saved her mistress, I mean after she poisoned Radahn do you honestly believed he wouldn't try to kill her? Plus Cleanrot Knight uses sword, spear and halo scythe. Finlay possible grabbed a spear and thrust it at Radahn as Radahn does have many weapons all inside of him on his back and other places.
@@marcus22greene I think the assumption is that after Malenia activated her scarlet bloom, it incapacitated both her and Radahn, which is why the lore tells us there was no victor. So Finlay couldn't have fought off Radahn to save Malenia after this, and I'm pretty sure an incredible feat like that would have been mentioned in her spirit description. Finlay is still the MVP for carrying her and protecting her all the way back tho
It's absolutely crazy that this two minute trailer has more atmosphere than some games have in their entirety.

@topple I feel like that it rly told us what dark souls 2 would be about, the trailer doesnt mention anything about gods or higher purposes it just creates more setting for dark souls which dark souls 2 kinda was
Demons souls remake: *nervous sweating*
@@omegawario7479 ?
@@kingofstrangeness7014 the biggest criticism of the demons souls remake is that it damaged a ton of the atmosphere of the original. The game looks incredible, sure, but all the colors and overall brightness of the game took a lot out of the eeriness of the original. Take boletaria palace for example: the remake is all bright and colorful compared to the washed out original which gives it a certain aura of dread that something is terribly wrong with the whole place, while the remake just feels like an average castle on an average day.

Elden Ring literally helped me quit smoking cigarettes after 33 years of it. No lie. Helped me start to rurn my life around. Don't know any other way to say it. Currently enjoying the dlc.

Not Elden Ring but Dark Souls 3, got me to quit drinking. Wasn't anywhere close to 33 years but I can too say it changed my life.
I can’t believe this trailer already showed the main plottwist of the game back in 2018. And also that it’s so well hidden you wouldn’t even get it unless you know about it. This is amazing.

One of the best game ever created, it's not even a year and im already nostalgic
Yeah the nostalgic part is same for me, it's weird
Can't wait for the dlc
Nah, DS1, DS3 and Blood Borne are definitely better. This game is basically just dark souls 3 but with an Ubisoft style open world sadly… Like it’s not a bad game at all, its just not that revolutionary in its open world design. Couldn’t finish it, got bored of finding a dungeon, it being the same with same enemies and same bosses copy pasted lol.
Would rather they go back to the old school way they made it. But people have spoken and they want it to be easier and more accessible. This might possibly be the death of the original Souls formula for sure
Hopefully we get more games like Sekiro and Armored Core 6. Or the next open world they make is actually interesting without copy pasting bosses.
Would be better if the world was 1/4 of the size and had the interconnectedness of DS1 (thats still the best world design I have played)

1:12 That's Cleanrot Knight Finlay, Knightess of Malenia the Blade of Miquella, planting the spear that wounded Radahn and caused him to fall which allowed Malenia to impale herself and bleed the Scarlet Rot into him, thus making their battle a "stalemate". I never want to hear anyone say Radahn wasn't going to win this fight against Malenia ever again. Malenia had massive help.
@Yousuf alii Yes, we must.
Not only that, but even Blaidd states that Radahn was the strongest of all the demigods, meaning no one could beat him 1v1, Malenia is indeed a liar and a cheat but not only that, Radahn is still able to stop the meteors in the sky even while fully mad

Because they're two halves of the same person
