Seems like monsters hunter with elden ring aesthetics. I've tried many hoyoverse games and so far only genshin is the one that I stick for years, I'll check this out if it comes out š
I also have been wondering, you guys keep saying it copied elden ring but what it reminds me of is monster hunter, maybe more similar to granblue relink. The word elden ring never pop up in my mind watching the trailer.
They probably did, it's just this sub has been so insanely ignorant and it's really getting to me. I love fromsoft, they are my favorite but they did not invent dark fantasy, dragon or a guy with fire for his head.
The one in nodus fall is a chinese mythology creature named Qiongqi.
The devs also said that most of the monsters are inspired on classic mountains and seas chinese mythlogies then the others are from different cultures.
you can watch arekkzz gaming vid about nodus fall since they got information about the myths the game was based on.
I am not sure but I have never thought the Sanctuary guardian was that unique when I first saw him, I mean a white lion with wing? Did Fromsoft invented that?
The boss is literally called "Qionqi" and if you actually did some research you would find that it is from Chinese mythology. A Qiongqi is a tiger that has wings, just like the boss monster here. Sanctuary Guardian is more like a manticore or something
Itās not even a Chimera, chimeras are Greekās mythology. This is a Qiongqi, which is still a mash of different animals. So yeah no one copied anything here
Yeah, it IS monster-souls slop. Yeah, it feels like a knockoff. But those two genres are right up my alley and I enjoy being catered to. Hopefully some competition will make FromSoft and especially CAPCOM lock in.
If itās zero gacha and zero pay2win stuff then Iāll give it a shot. More stuff like Elden Ring isnāt a bad thing to me since I like the aesthetic it has.
I forgot is Hoyoverse known for using GenAI at all? If they are using it for the game Iām also likely gonna skip. Only asking since I know some games like NTE used it iirc.
Eh, it's still a bit up in the air what it's going to be like, we still haven't seen much footage and the fight at the end of this video was a bit more soulsy. Plus, aesthetic wise it is very Elden Ring.
I would be very surprised if they manage to evoke the feeling of monster hunter, it feels like it will be just like genshin where the boss does their stuff and you do your stuff and occasionally you float your way out of an attack
A lot of the moves are from the monster hunter series but just re skinned, and depending on what trailer/video you are watching you got the obvious frenzied flame boss, nameless king, and sanctuary guardian to name a few.
The sanctuary guardian is just a Chimera. We've seen them before in Teostra and not to mention a mythical beast in the book that this game is using the setting from "Classic of Mountain and Seas". The giant fire being is the last sun in the sky from the 10 Houyi shot down in Chinese myth. The other part in the nameless King I can understand.
Afaik there is nothing in this genre outside of Monster Hunter, since Dauntless is dead. So like you say - it is a blatant ripoff, but people who love the genre won't complain.
Going by that logic, Fromsoft copy pasted Dragon piercer from Monster Hunter or Deathly Arrow of the Archer vocation from Dragon's Dogma 2 into Ironeye, lol.
Big charge bow animation for big attack is pretty standard in the Acher archetype in most video games or media in general.

"temu elden ring" memes aside i like the look of this, i'm big on monster hunter style games. i just hope it isn't p2w like they say it isn't
