Isn't the big guy with the red hair (that people keep insisting is some kind of World of Warcraft-like dwarf LOL) just kneeling down?

Maybe old, but apparently Frognation are making localisation for Elden Ring
They were working with From for Bloodborne and DS3 (afaik). The hype is because their voices are incredible and we missed it in Sekiro
UPD: DS1 as well
The localization team that From always uses. I'm not sure why that's hype (except they're pretty good).
This is pretty big honestly. Their voice talent picks and translations are part of why I love the games so much. They've worked with From since Demon's Souls and I think Sekiro was the only one they had nothing to do with.
They didn't work on Sekiro, so there's precedent for not using them.
oh so the voices from sekiro aren't from the same team of the other souls. or at least the same quality.
yeah that is pretty hype, the voices in souls games are just... incredible.
I wasn't aware of that, glad to hear they're back
I wonder if the crow reference in omni's post had anything to do with this.
Sekiro was intended to be in Japanese, unlike every other From game. It was also a completely new publisher.
They worked on that VR game (as well as all the Dark Souls games and Bloodborne).
Dark Souls is recorded in English (there was never Japanese audio). From coordinates directly with the localization team.
Sekiro was meant to be Japanese. The dub was almost certainly included because Activision felt it was necessary (they actually have full EFIGS audio), and they handled the localization. The English dub was recorded by American voice actors (many of which you've probably heard in tons of games and anime), which is why it sounds different.

Thats indeed very nice to hear, if true, since I really liked the voices in both bloodborne and DS3.
haha, it really bothered me that the proportions were so wrong, but now I see it as well.
So its pretty much confirmed they're in charge of the localization, right? Nice
He has a bunch of arrows in his back, I think he's dying
YESSSSSS Best news. Theyre voice acting and localization was sorely missed in Sekiro.
I can't remember who said it, but the voice in the trailer may just actually be Gael's voice actor from DS3.
As a die hard ASOIAF fan, I am kinda happy? I love that trend "GRRM is not your bitch" haha. And he delving into games is huge news. Really hoping he is handling dialogue of all things.
Based on the interview with miyazaki it seems like GRRM is just creating the mythos/lore of the world, dont think he'd be that involved in the dialog. That stuff seems to be miyazaki's part which im completely happy with, his writing style was missed in sekiro
How much of a graphic downgrade could this be compared to DS3 and Sekiro? Or framerate, open world From sounds like there may be a few technical quirks on consoles
Huh but Sekiro is a Miyazaki game?🤨
He's just taking on different roles for these titles
None is a full on miyazaki game like DeS, BB or Ds1 was (and that's alright)
For sekiro he had a co-director and i bet its the same case for Elden ring considering at some point in developement he was also involved with deracine, there's no way he can fully invest himself and oversee all areas of the game when he has other projects running at the same time.
In terms of story/lore, he wrote the main outline of the adventure for sekiro but stepped back in some areas like writing dialog/item descriptions in favor of making the game stand out more when compared to dark souls considering he has a very specific style.
Whereas here he seems to be more involved with the story.
Lore is a colalboration between him and grrm and then he's probably taking care of the rest. I dont think they'd get a third person involved.
Ah, ok yep Sekiro did feel a bit different from other From games and was not just the voice acting
Okay sooo...big dude in the trailer is totally inspired by Balor a Fomorian ruler from Irish Mythology. And the guy with the spear is his grandson Lugh.
The description of the battlefield in this excerpt sounds strangely familiar to what we see in the trailer. Also notice how twice in the trailer when the blacksmith hammers it cuts to a piece of smithed equipment. First the Chick/Dude with the mechanical Arm(Nuada). And second to the dude with the Spear(Lugh who is said to have had it crafted by Goibniu the same dude who crafted Nuada's mechanical arm). Also that severed arm in the beginning is definitely Nuada's.
Seriously anyone interested in potential inspiration for the lore check out these links.

Oh god nice find
Maybe we're reading too much into it, but the way you pressent it, there sure are a ton of parallels that would make this more than just a coincidence
Also Lugh being raised by the sea god would explain why he has a fish motif in his helmet as I pointed out here
He also had a co-director for Bloodborne, actually.
Dark Souls 3 Interview: "This is a Turning Point for the Series"
Hidetaka Miyazaki talks about the next big step for the Souls franchise, new ideas, Bloodborne DLC, and "The Miyazaki Touch."
www.gamespot.com
They didn't properly credit the co-director in the game's credits, but considering Kazuhiro Hamatani is alone as "Lead Game Designer", and was credited as "Co-Director" in Sekiro, I suspect that was his role.
If you check out the story of Goibniu it might explain why the two characters have the Lightning like crack down their bodies, and why it gets larger every time he uses it.
Miyazaki confirms horses, no cities
Not sure if posted. Horse Riding confirmed
Horse riding, huh? The very first rumor said there will also be multiple kingdoms you can go in any order. I'm assuming that each of these kingdoms are spaced out from each other, and each will offer the intricate level designs. Throughout the world, there could be points of interest like villages as we head to these kingdoms

I'm glad there won't be dedicated towns filled with NPC, but NPC will be in the world like we have seen in past FROM games.
Now to find the Hyena. That bastard.
THIS IS ALL MUSIC TO MY EARS
or a calm one that's more concerned with setting the atmosphere before the storm
Omg. Is that why the English dub of Sekiro feels so weird to me? I'd even call it terrible.. and I couldn't believe it after the great voice acting in their previous games.
To start, could mean mounted combat.
Now I'm thinking about mounts what the hell, will there be different horses you can ride? Maybe it's like breath of the wild where they roam the landscape, so many questions...
You don't need to be. He's old enough to make his decisions. Even though the interview suggests some involvement, it's not like he was working on it for a very long time.
There are other things that are keeping GRRM from writing, that take a vastly bigger amount of his time. Writing other books, editing other books, conventions, involvement in those new pitches for prequel series.
He kind of skipped alot of conventions and other things lately to focus on finishing Winds of Winter. So the minor involvement in Elden Ring isn't really something that should influence his time table alot.
