I am legit afraid to say what I think parts of the story trailer (esp slowed down,so you can see the detail) look like; I almost got banned from FB recently from using the K word (whick turned out to be "kick"; color me surprised, really) and all the words I can think of for some of the imagery in the story trailer are ones I can't even dance around easilywithout going "I SHALL NOW BE DEEMED A NAUGHTY BITS PERSON AS WELL AS A VIOLENCE PERSON BC I USED THE K WORD THAT BEING KICK", except by going "IT IS ALL VERY BLOODBORN LIKE" and "BLOODBORN SEEMED TO ME ( a cisgendered woman) TO BE ABOUT HOW FREAKY WHAT LADY PARTS DO IS TO MEN PEOPLE IF THEY ARE IN NIGHTMARE LAND (Ibut a lot of fun! But, uh. hard to miss that part) and I guess I should leave it there. Great video though, all in all, even if it kept making me pause and run to the other end of my condo and yell "I MEAN I CAN'T HELP WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THAT THING" and have my husband go "are you quite fine" and me go "I DUNNO YOU PLAYED BLOODBORN FIRST YOU TELL ME".

I keep saying it's created but really it's the same greater will being reformed to each vessels will in some way. Reshaped over and over...

2024-05-24 08:47:29 +0000 UTCPasting my comment from YT here for more speculation discussion. Thanks for the vid! The seduction, and the betrayal... an affair from which gold arose. And so too was shadow born. The seduction, and the betrayal - could be an event against Marika. She was betrayed in some fashion... an affair from which gold arose - considering as Erdtree here or ER in a more nascent state And so too was shadow born - this implies the birth of the Erdtree or could be an actual birth. (The gold strands may be hair pulled from the womb.) -- So the Shadowlands are a creation and not it's original state. Or does Shadow imply this is where she is given Maliketh? Really makes me think this was a part of TLB at some point. The original capital of the age before. Betrayal event - catalyst used at "gate" - "elden ring" created - WAR - GEQ defeated - RoD plucked from ER creating Marika's "Golden Order" Death has been defeated, mostly sealed away, and her reign is now Eternal, forever being fed by the burial and rebirth. Really seems like that "gate" is the crucible. At first I thought the bodies were being collected by the cages as a sacrifice but the war was after... As all orders and greater influences can affect the atmosphere it does seem like it's shifting the gloam to dark. Very selective fading to the middle although also artistic. Curious that the light from the middle is already golden and shining as she approaches. I don't think that's another place like it's a gate, more of a window... That may be representing the space similar to where the Elden Beast takes us in the fight, more or less the center of all things. Where the order truly can affect the greater universe. So here we see Marika, the betrayed?, creating just the start of the elden ring, only to take away all things that could deal death immediately after Make me wonder if she lost a precious child, if it's not her child she's pulling hair from... The imagery really reminds me of Gustave Dore. Striking bodily imagery, although not new to FS design. Seeing some inspiration in his works for sure. Even Empyrean titled imagery etc, maybe someone has made these connections already. Either way it's incredible how much emotion those few images can instill. The strands grow pretty long before the shot ends. Could it be becoming the vascular system for the erdtree as well? I still believe the Erdtree we see in TLB is both physical/metaphysical in nature. An external growth of that inner light we see in these shots and in the EB fight. Great video as always, thanks for getting it done so well this quick. Fun speculation before the reveal is great. Band of Hawks was my first thought which how much they love Miq, can't wait for the eclipse!
