According to GRRM, Abner Marsh is also his favorite character (along with Tyrion Lannister from his other series).

Anyways, ASOIAF is the series that's very heavy on world-building. The magical aspects are definitely Lovecraftian mixed with Norse mythology like what I expect Elden Ring to be like when it comes to the lore.

I'd say to give GRRM's Tuf Voyaging a shot too since Miyazaki also loved that one though and the series(all in one book) is about as long as Fevre Dream. It's about on par with Fevre Dream but different.

It's sci-fi though rather than supernatural so that might be a turn off. It also bounces from whimsical to dark pretty fast.

Cool post. Sci-fi is my jam, so I need to give it a spin. I also hope Miyazaki will tackle sci-fi next.

I think it's pretty likely we'll get a playable network test for Elden Ring next year, like DS2, DS3, Bloodborne. Fromsoft usually does these for their ARPG's.

For sure, I can't see this game skipping multiplayer.

I really like that you posted these select a character screens. I mentioned before that I hope FROM handles starting classes better in ER. Give them a unique ability or different starting zone, anything. Not just different allocation of starting stats.

Dark Souls Remastered had one, too. Can't recall if the original Dark Souls had one.

I'm thinking they might switch the release date up and move it to late Summer/Fall next year instead of the usual Q1 launch. It's honestly for the better, to be honest, 'cause the first half of 2020 is stacked.

I also feel like this time the initial choice of the character will have some sort of race-selection with unique traits. That would comply very well with the "strong RPG aspects" Miyazaki-san mentioned in the E3 ER interview.

Oh I dont think anybody on here was holding on for a Q1 release after the no-show at gamescom and tgs
Q1 means not only competing with some of the biggest titles this gen that have been hyped for years, but also having a really short promo cycle (3-4 months after the now more than likely reveal at VGA)
Even if they wanted to simply ride off their big fanbase and release it that early, we must not forget that this is a new IP and they more than likely will want to take their time showing it off and having people warm up to it. This is supposed to be their biggest game. They dont want to mess it up with the promo cycle.
I also think the game is just not ready to be shown yet, I dont really believe bamco was holding it back to give code vein some time to breathe.
It only makes sense that elden ring would require a longer than usual dev cycle from them.

The wait for death stranding had made me forget about Elden Ring for a while but then you had to bump the thread ffs
