Elden Ring's list of characters has over a dozen entries that are simply named "Someone Yet Unseen". Presumably they had several NPCs planned that didn't make the final cut, and some of these faces may have belonged to them, but this could also point towards the many character's we're likely to meet in the DLC, and some of them may end up using these faces or some iteration of them too.

Zullie, this is a big ask, but could you do a comprehensive video covering the interesting changes made by the day and night cycle? I think most people know about the unique bosses at night but there even are different enemy placements which still surprises me. For example, the church of dragon communion has spirit jellyfish spawn there at night. Surprised me quite a bit as I had never been there at night. Made me wonder what other changes might be made in different areas of the games. It would be a big undertaking, but I don’t think anyone has tried tackling this yet. Appreciate all your hard work!

I wonder if they were going to use the twins as another instance of a male/female being, but abandoned that idea later, maybe leaving the big reveal for Marika/Radagon be more impactful and unique

@michaelmannix1604

4 ай бұрын

I mean... the twins are still regarded two people with one soul. It's in their armor description. In fact, the suggestion that they "never speak, nor stand together" implies they aren't even blood relatives, but were connected by this shared soul, and feel the other's existence without ever having crossed paths. This would explain why Radagon is a human champion descended from the Fire Giants, while Marika is an Empyrean from Numen, outside the Lands Between. They could cooperate at a distance, but weren't truly united until fracturing into one, sometime after Radagon was crowned King Consort. D and his brother were rejected by all orders as abominations except the Golden Order-after all, its godhead is a similar "abomination."

It's hard to get the exact eye shape I want. And for some reason, side profiles... my characters tend to look good from the front. But the side profile looks janky. And there's usually no fixing it.... It's just too bad that, like the devs. To play optimally, you spend an hour or more making your character.... Only to slap a helmet on them and NEVER see their face again.... (Luckily, I don't play optimally.

@StephanieJones-vo3zb

As an albino; we do not actually have red eyes. That is a misconception. At certain angles they may appear pinkish due to visible blood vessels, however we have the same eye colours as everyone else. Even purple. In fact: Albinos are the only people who can have naturally occurring violet eyes, thanks to the pink/red of the blood vessels mixing with a natural blue. I made my Elden Ring character albino. White hair, brows, and lashes, and very pale skin, but with icy blue eyes with faint purple clouding. Quite pretty.

07:08 If you forget how limited the options for graphics were at the time, this could almost be an insult.

The kintsugi idea is so cool! Theese unused characters might've been tried as concept of repairing broken vessels with gold. Which links to Marika and Radagons bodies (apparently broken beyond repair).

Ran around everywhere with his tits out like a massive sl**, and everytime he swings his weapons he makes sure to raise it up high and kind of stand at an angle to you to put his muscular body on full display. Rennala probably spent more time almost biting holes into her lower lip watching him decimate her army while barely dressed than actually fighting herself, and went into a catatonic state after he dumped her ass. He can't have done much more in their marriage than lie on lounges like Gwynevere, massive muscular pecs bared for her to oggle, while their kids did shit like go to war with stars and shit. The homewrecker was Marika, who is Radagon, and I assume she had some degree of awareness of what he was doing with Rennala, because there's little other rational explanation for her doing a selfcest with the literal dogmatic half of her still shackled to the Greater Will. It completely screwed her over in the long run, so getting literally screwed for a bit must have been really worth it.

I prefer to see something and think hmmm, this might be this, or that, or maybe something I still hasn't seen.

The blue haired - blue eyed lady NPC made me think of Ranni. Not that they look anything alike, but the colorset matches. Doesn't necessarily has to be Ranni per say, could also be "the Snow Witch" from which Ranni's doll form was based on.

Thank you for (thoughtfully) not trying to derive lore and results from these faces. I know certain communities are utterly rabid about "cut content" and so forth, so It's a very interesting look at the design and dev process, and shows what the did and did not cultivate to make the game.

Great vid as usual, its interesting to see what NPCs we couldve seen in game.

2:46 Radagon's eyes aren't ever shown... exactly. But in the Radagon icon and in his portrait at the Roundtable Hold, his eyes (or at least his right eye, as he's only shown in profile) are pitch black. Even in the final battle, his gold left eye is really just shards of the Elden Ring arranged to resemble an iris. (Funnily enough, even the manga depicts him with black eyes.) By contrast, Godfrey's portrait shows him with gold eyes, from before he was exiled with the Tarnished. I feel they must have been very careful in how they chose to depict Radagon.

Is it possible for you too post the slider values, so people can make them in game? Or is it already somewhere?

Thanks for the video! I love the Dragonic features and the gold scar so much I immediately logged in and put one on my main Tarnished. They are from the related race as well, so that went perfect together!

Thanks zullie! What another fascinating video!

i wonder if 3:54 is Asimi, before and after getting the items for her cut quest? The white-faced red eyed woman isn't blood crazed, she's clearly made to represent *albinism.* her "other" form has natural pigmentation.

2:28 NAAAH the one on the right is Brandon Rogers xd

Just something I was thinking abt, could Mesmer be the one who stabbed Marika? The Elden beast was damaged where she was stabbed, so it couldn’t be the greater will. Also, the spear was red and it seems too perfect that Mesmer was hiding in plain sight the whole time.

I know that thematically that would be out of left field but the thing of godliness and golden blood is why I thought of it.

As you mention at the end, it's wonderful that we're able to see all these faces that someone sculpted but never made it in game. While this kind of work isn't it necessarily wasted without being seen by the audience, it's nice to acknowledge behind the curtain work.

I love these videos. They make me think, they have Zelda music which I absolutely adore. And they are about Elden Ring and other Souls games.

Another reason im looking forward to the DLC is finding out how tall the shadow Erdtree is in comparison to the regular one

It lowkey makes me happy to see you getting sponsors on your videos. Get that bag!

It's kind of crazy that they go through all the effort of making unique faces for characters whose faces you're never going to see.

I recently realized that the black wolf mask seems to have some yellow in it's only open eye. Might wanna look at it Zullie!

Love the kintsugi style one! I’m still baffled that with all the themes of shattering, mending, and gold, that Kintsugi has no thematic mentions in the game!

The ad feels out of place but I'm not complaining, glad you can make some extra with your content!

i'm not surprised to hear that miyazaki had instructed designers to make characters look like real people, several of the faces in this and other videos do look like famous actors (sellen is a dead ringer for kristen wiig)

really cool and pretty faces. i had no idea you could do so good and detailed faces in elden ring. maybe i should spent some time to create something unique. cause visual changing cost nothing in the game

Once the DLC comes out and I finish it I will be comoing back to this video to see which of these ended up in it.

Now when someone asks me who my favorite Elden Ring character is, I can say Mads Mikkelsen.

I wonder if any of these faces were meant for the cut character Sceiron, the Graverobber Lord. I guess we will never know.

For a land with so much light the npcs sure do avoid the sun. Pasty hall of fame.
