15:03 Wait what?! What what WHAT?! Never thought of Fia as a Dragon Priestess. It makes sense, I just haven’t thought about her in that way.
Have you spoken about this more in depth in one of your earlier videos? I need to know more. I love Fia.
I have to admit I haven’t watched a lot of your videos in the last couple of months. ( I became completely obsessed with Minecraft. ( Yes, it has lore too. 😅 ))
I saw another video recently that mentioned the statue behind the turtle pope being Caitha – was that one of yours?
This man needs a seat in the Yggdrasil podcast stat!
Damn you should have more views here! Great work!
While i love this video and the narrative you got i have to strongly disagree. I think that The doubt and loneliness that Ranni/Marika whoever she really is talks about is what men would feel without the guidance of grace, the certainty of tye absence of death in an order of their own making
Inject this right into my veins!
Miyazaki’s name is so readily invoked by the community, and yet so many of us overlook Martin’s hand in the world of Elden Ring. But not you Jack. You (rightfully) give them equal standing. I can’t wait to discover what else I have missed! Thank you for sharing your passion and your joy with us. It is truly infectious. ❤
truly amazing work!
Hated this video. It wasn’t 3 hours long.
Always a pleasure to watch your videos
Love the point about every ending being basically bad, or at least not good. Acknowledging that places the story in a wicked new light. Great video
All people who took Ranni's ending watching what eternal winter really means for the world:
Surprised Pikachu face.
So good jack! Awesome breakdown. You deserve way more recognition
Don´t you dare call my wife cold unfeeling doll
This was awesome man I love your perspectives!
Superb fucking telling.
I wish Kale's quest stayed in. Nothing compelled me to Frenzy more than seeing what they did to the merchants. Spent the whole game being so interested in them just to go down there and hear the song of despair. It stuck with me, all the way to Midra.
And hearing Kale beg for it all to melt away, there is nothing more gut-wrenching to me. Poor guy.
I know its likely not what happens when you melt it all to ash, but I like to think of it as a reboot, even against The Flame's intention. The ash feeds new growth in my mind; eventually, it's going to split apart again right? Especially if entities, like Shabriri and Hyetta, can exist in the flame itself.
That notion inspired me to write a whole setting growing out of ash lol, and to totally want to rip off the Frenzied Flame and the merchants, DS3 made me want my own Gael. There's always at least one thing I get super obsessed with in Fromsoft's games.
Great video, Jack, I even sent it to people who know nothing about Elden Ring XD
Considering subscribing and turning on notifications to be alerted when the full video is released! Thank you, be kind to yourself and others, see you all in the new year!
the speaker from Destiny … you stole his mask
Amazing work dude.
How do you feel about Bayle being the fell god? The flames in the giant that could not be killed, and the visage of who made the wicker/fel Reavers. The horns bursting out of Mohg and the failed deity masks. The lore of an outer god, that the hornsent felt empathy for and continued to pray to, who's burning blood can be used to create a weapon capable of killing a god.
One day, the fire will consume the very body and soul of its Communion devourer, one day.
The way Bayle screams falling down as you see it, and sticking its broken arm up in the air just like the blood friends, she craves a wound because she can't die and her blood gives power, I even wager Marika is the frenzied queen in the furnace visage, she might have used the flame from the Giants to start a burning crusade, but its complicated with Messmer. He hates the hornsent and is continuing the crusade against them, because his mother left him. She isn't the one making Messmer continue the crusade, he's pissed that Marika would choose a tarnished to become Lord, instead of him. So he is taking his abandonment out on the hornsent.
oh, hey Jack, here is a theory for you …
Marika had long cast her body aside. Radagon is trapped in the vessel she freed herself from; he was a silver tear to begin with.
Marika taught Ranni. Marika helped end Godwyn; as he accepted the outer god within him, willing to bring upon a dark future with Miquella … but even the eclipse couldn't bring him back to be Miquella's consort and thus he chose another.
Marika is the snow witch that taught Ranni. She is free the same and can move about freely. She is hunting down the outer gods that did not want to play nice. Each of her children had an outer god within her.
They merged her with everything; all things were conjoined within her … but some decided they wanted more and thus sparked her ire. Most of her children were not strong enough to contain what was within them … one for sure was capable, Morgott.
Fun theory working on. Turtle pope doesn't know everything. We don't know everything. Remember he said there is stuff in the base game people haven't figured out yet.
If you are trying to figure out who is who; try to see where your box walls are. Here is something from FFXIV … people were split. They can exist in multiple places at once, even cross world and meet each other. Your player character is one of them. Marika could be; Marika, Melina, and the snow witch at once; especially if she absconded herself of the vessel that fades to dust in the Ranni ending … freeing people from the Elden Ring she broke and wished to be no more, for eternity.
Your passion for this game is infectious! I've never found a game series or author that have basically taken over my life and i love that I others feel the same.
A work of art. I was emotional, I got chills, I was captivated. The editing and music and pacing and everything were top tier. Memorable. Great work Jack. I can't wait for the next one.
I am so happy I clicked on this, great video man!
You're going back to machinima style next video aren't you?
I really appreciate your approach. Rather than obsess over minute details of lore, you see the narrative like poetry. All elements serve a purpose and have a meaning beyond the text. Much like the story, your videos follow a rhythm.
Let strength be granted
So the world might be mended
So the world might be mended
So-
Such a incredible encapsulation of Elden Rings story
"HORNS SENT to defile all"
Hold up his writing is this FIRE??
The editing on this is legit, Jack.
Why am I just now noticing the llama….alpaca? Maybe an alpaca
Man I was so impressed by this video it made me sad that it was only 21 minutes
Holy.. bros writing and editing skills are insane
Turtles….? You mentioned a shell, so I’m assuming you meant dog right?
I'm beginning to think elden ring is the best story ever told. The only exceptions being the religious and mythic stories it bases its narrative structures upon.
ooooooo that's some deep lore putting Priscilla in the same sequence as the fire keepers and dolls! I'm pickin' up what you're putting down. I've heard the interviews and seen the cut content that Priscilla was originally intended to be the player's Melina/Doll/Firekeeper/Maiden in Black. I'm right there with you.
Can't wait for episode 2!!
WELL DONE JACK !!!!!!!!!!
You sir are quite the story teller yourself. I hope you reach the success you seek.
16:20 oh the twilight poem
Frenzied Flame Ending is the true ending that stops the loop and leads to the world of Dark Souls, the Kiln of the First Flame is after all an old burned down tree trunk. Frenzied Flame and the First Flame being the same thing is a hill I am willing to die on.
Interesting video, but there are two points I will contest.
1. Hoarah Loux is the first Elden Lord
2. Ranni is not without feeling
Yes Godfrey is not the first of all Elden Lords, as there have been others before. But he is the first of The Golden Order, just as Radagon is the second.
Ranni does have emotion, she views Blaidd and Iji with love, just as she also loves the Tarnished, rather her Age of Night would rather be defined by her apathy towards those she does not care for. A unsympathetic being as she is. Towards Godwin and the suffering his blight has caused.
Really enjoyed. Great video.
Let me tell you, I experienced a never ending story once I got to the bottom of the Haligtree…
Great vid too
One my favorite videos of yours
