Elden Ring is "the limit" for From Software project scale, says Miyazaki - multiple, "smaller" games may be the "next stage" (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

Was it really? I've seen this figure thrown around a lot and why we can ignore the layers upon layers I still thought it to be bigger. At least the size of Limgrave + Weeping penisula

[–] simple@lemm.ee 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's not, but when asked in an interview Miyazaki said it was the size of limgrave. Clearly it's way, way bigger.

[–] MarcomachtKuchen@feddit.org 3 points 2 months ago

Thank you. I missed some of the pre release interviews

[–] voracitude@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I think this was a reference to Miyazaki saying it's the size of Limgrave: https://gamerant.com/elden-ring-dlc-map-size-shadow-of-the-erdtree/

Like OP meant

Yeah okay Miyazaki, "smaller games", like how SotE was "the size of Limgrave"

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Yep. What I'm saying is Fromsoft like to underpromise and overdeliver, which is a breath of fresh air compared to most other AAA studios and overall very based.

Also I might be biased from Brandon Sanderson's books, which seem to get thicker with every new novel despite his apparent efforts to have mercy on the publisher

[–] voracitude@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Lol I think we were replying to the guy at the same time even - don't worry, I gotchu (⁠☞ﾟ⁠ヮﾟ⁠)⁠☞

And no you right, about FromSoft and Sanderson - that guy's a hero, in my book! I got my little sister into his work, she just finished the Mistborn/Alloy saga, so I gave her Stormlight to start on. So good.

Life before death!

Thank you, I've missed the interviews before release.

[–] voracitude@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Np dawg, I gotchu 🙌 I barely remembered myself, it's been a while!

Technically Weeping Peninsula is just a sub section of Limgrave, along with the Eastern forested area of it right before Caelid.
