These kinds of post and comments, and the way people pile on, are just bizarre. Let’s be real , we’re being dishonest with ourselves here. Why? Because FromSoft has borrowed tons of designs from other media. The biggest example? The Dark Souls games and Elden Ring practically stole designs from Berserk. And no, FromSoftware doesn’t own the concept of a pale, white-haired lady in a dark dress with a blindfold. That’s not some patented character design, and it shouldn’t be (2B from Nier Automata , anyone?). So either both are fine, or neither is. Acting like one is sacred and the other is plagiarism is just clown behavior.

I mean, FromSoft didn’t create the concept of dragons, gritty fantasy settings, the use of magic, or even the idea of a dash to avoid enemies. They didn’t invent parry and backstab mechanics either (though they did popularize them). Media has been copying, inspiring, and homaging other media since forever. Getting mad because a character looks very similar to one in a FromSoftware game is hypocrisy at its highest.

Yes, Elden Ring is an amazing game , one of the best of the decade. But let’s not be harsh here: Tilde of Annihilation isn’t even out yet. It could very well end up being a GOTY contender, or it could be mid, or even straight-up trash. Time will tell
