      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.

    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.

    • @ladyabaxa

      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.

    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!

    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

    • @michaelmannix1604
      @michaelmannix1604 8 месяцев назад +55

      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."

      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)

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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    It's always been interesting to me how much of this kind of stuff sticks around in the files when there's no legitimate way to access it.
    One of my favorite examples was how in Hollow Knight there was one sad little detail that was deliberately put in, in dream nail dialog for an enemy that's immune to the dream nail.

  • @TheBl00D1u5t
    @TheBl00D1u5t 8 месяцев назад +1

    I wouldn't be suprised if many of these are placeholders for cut and/or future content. It's well known that developers will often work on large portions of the game and then cut it off due to time constraints or some other set backs only to finalize and release it later as a DLC. Just look at what happened with Destiny. Almost all of the DLC in the original game was accessable from release but was blocked off in one way or another. That didn't stop basically everyone from checkin it out though lol

  • @elymnir4683
    @elymnir4683 8 месяцев назад +1

    Something that always baffles me are characters like Sieglinde. Or even some slight details, like golden eyes. Sometimes, NPCs' faces are made with intent, Miyazaki wants them to look like they do. But then they either wear masks or helmets, making it impossible to see their faces ingame. If we're not meant to see their faces, why not just use some placeholder? It makes me think that either they had something in mind that didn't make it to the final version of the game, or taht they did know someone would datamine and look at the models.

    • @DankbeastPaul
      @DankbeastPaul 8 месяцев назад

      Well in Sieglinde's case it's because you can actually see her face behind her helmet in-game. But also it may simply be a good idea for them to create a face for a helmeted NPC just in case they want to do something different with them later on in development.

  • @EinSilverRose
    @EinSilverRose 8 месяцев назад

    I'd guess that many of these unused designs were used for testing purposes whether it's to see how creative some of the devs could get or how the faces would look within the game under different lighting conditions and cutscenes and so on.
    Though I can't help but think some people on the dev team made some truly hilarious faces and showing them off to the others and possibly even using them for testing purposes as well.
