messmer voice change is most probably done due to lore reasons. the trailer is portraying him as he is acting in the height of his crusade, pretending to be as menacing as possible to please his mother's wishes. doing something he himself didn't want to do, but did only for Marika. But, when we reach him in the game, he is already tired of pretending, broken from being abandoned in the realm of shadow. you can hear him struggling in his voice. It's done beautifully

[@karayi7239]

Ngl sounds like a stretch.. if anything, the more confused tone of the trailer messmer fits better since it would be a true slap in his face that marika abandoned messmer only for her to opt for a graceless tarnished to be her lord. Also, the "mongrel intruder!" is pure "pretending to be as menacing as possible" so I don't see the whole "tired of pretending". His voice DOES sound more tired, but the way he speaks in the trailer is much much more confused which fits better. But yeah.. the delivery in the trailer is way cooler. The issue here is that the more of a fan you are, the more you have analysed the trailer, the more you'll feel the rug pulled from underneath you. My brain shorted the SECOND he said "mother" which honestly didn't feel good.

[@bmbrowns1778]

@@karayi7239 I felt like they made him sound more evil in the trailer on purpose to make us believe he's just a total evil villian. When in reality he is just another demigod who has a tragic backstory and could've been a good guy if Marika wasn't a total manipulative bitch who abandoned him

[@KenobiStark1]

Yeah when he beats you he sounds completely defeated in spirit for having to kill again in this endless crusade. He says it like he’s tired of saying it haha

Now that I think about it, the DLC never explained anything that connected Miquella to Torrent despite it being shown in the promotional art...

[@AndrewH9999]

Sad about it

[@SimplCup]

what if when he began his journey to become a god in shadow realm, he summoned Melina to renounce the torrent but not just leave it in whatever place because he didn't want for torrent to be left like that, so he gave it to Melina for her to then find the new owner of torrent.

[@somebody4094]

​@@SimplCupprobably if torrent came from the Shadow realm/miquella summoned they from there he just left they to his sister to not abandon they completely

[@nobuffer101]

@@SimplCup It wouldn't make too much sense since his goal and Melina's are too different. They would never support the ambition of the other, so I would only imagine that Miquella abandoned Torrent when he first arrived to the Realm of Shadows when Mohg "kidnapped" him and took him to Mohgwyn Palace, and Melina, potentially the Gloam-Eyed Queen and associated with death who was born in the Realm of Shadows as with Messmer, found Torrent.

[@Kinzoku_Zileus]

Miquella is traveling the land of shadow as we are, he's abandoning parts of himself as we continue through the dlc. The biggest example of this was when he discarded his great rune as we enter mesmers keep. The "torrent" in the art is just another spectral steed, not torrent.

[@DDespicable]

I think the dlc is just missing that one npc to give the closing word. Artorias of the abyss: had the grandmother mushroom to say we are the true hero. Crowns of the old kings: had vendrick to hand us our crown and new ending. The ringed city: had the painter to say we helped her create a gentle new world. Heck even the doll in bloodbourne said we did good at the end of the old hunters.

[@krispt8835]

Yeah but in all of those, it implied a better world then when you arrived. But with Elden Ring, Ymir tells us that the fingers were broken from the start meaning that everything that has happened in the story has happened for no reason, and miquella dying doesn’t change anything except keep the terrible world that already exists.

I liked Messmer better in the final version and he turned out to be my favorite character of the dlc. He basically accepted being the Devil, the one who should look after Hell; like Hades did in Greek myth, for his mother's sake, for her Land to function, the counterpart of Marika's paradise.

Messmers trailer voice was so mesmerizing, I loved it. Miyazaki is so respectful that he published both voice actors.

[@Writh811]

Hmmm... I think they changed the dialogue because it was waaaaay too close to Ranni's speech in her ending. At first I thought this was a troll video because it starts exactly the same as Ranni's speech. As to the changes in Messmer's voice it still sounds like the same actor but for the trailer they used clean audio and for the ingame they added echo and such to reflect the sound bouncing around the room. I also for the first time noticed when the original cutscene is playing when Miquella puts his face near Radahn as he says "Yield the path to us" Radahn looks down and away... like... shame or embarrassment or disappointment. Perhaps this small gesture is meant to be another fearther in the "unwilling Radahn" theory cap.

@@darkprime6815 radhan has no mind he's Just a puppet puppeted by miquella

[@TrippyTimesTwo]

Interesting theories to accompany this. Several areas appear to be combined elements of previous games DLC and thematic environments, suggesting a LOT of content cutting - hence why a variety of areas in the DLC sometimes feel oddly empty. If Miquella’s story remained relatively unchanged, it would be pretty scary - a thousand year voyage, guided by compassion - which was discarded along with St. Trina (called love on the cross near the grace). 1000 years guided by love, headed by a god that has discarded love. Terrifying.

[@zhebanelm1755]

Regarding the bow: It's possible that it could have originally be meant to reference the "Rider on the White Horse" from Revelation. The rider carries a bow, but is not seen with any arrows. He is given a crown, and he goes out to conquer. This rider is never named, but the symbolism of a bow with no arrows seems to reference that the conqueror will rule not by warfare but by compassion (at least initially). Perhaps Miquella was going to be similar as he wants to conquer through love (despite the hypocrisy of choosing a warmonger as his consort), but From decided that the imagery was a little too on the nose.

[@beans9532]

Radahn fought in like, one war. There's no evidence he aided in the war against the Giants, the war against the Dragons, or any other major war before the Shattering. He's defined by his men's loyalty to him, his love of animals, and the command over the stars (implied to be defensive action taken to stop the Fallingstar Beasts and Astels). Radahn is a compassionate boy who spent all his time preparing to be ready for war and when he finally got the war he wanted it was against his own family. And he choked. His most famous battle was a standstill with Malenia, and the opening cinematic of the game shows him getting stomped by Morgott. And I would wager he choked because he never really wanted war, he just wanted to be a hero. Regardless, Consort Radahn is a meat puppet.

Its fascinating to me that Miquella's cut cutscene has parallels to Ranni's cutscene (Age of Stars) where she says "I solemnly swear to every living being, and every living soul, now cometh the age of the stars, A thousand year voyage under the wisdom of the Moon. Here beginneth the chill night that encompasses all, reaching the great beyond." which is similar in words to Miquella's "I hereby swear. to every living being and every living soul. now comes the age of our Eden. a thousand year voyage guided by compassion, beginning here, love encompasses all" And I also wonder if maybe that cutscene where Miquella raises his hand over an unveiled Scadutree, seemingly causing it to pulse with light, might be some sort of ending or choice where The Lands Between, and The Realm of Shadow are restored to what they once were, as overlapping both maps and scaling the shadowlands a bit perfectly aligns them like puzzle pieces. I wonder if maybe there was a choice between fighting Miquella and keeping the lands separate, or if you could join his cause and reunite the realms. This would be supported by our ability to side with Leda vs the others at certain points in the game and by Miquella's claim that "No living things will be denied, no deed censured. I am ready. to embrace the whole of it"

I feel if he used the bow he would’ve shot one in the sky and then those light beams he uses would come down or that’s at least the first thing that came to my head when the bow was mentioned lol

[@JinjoBread]

Perhaps the bow model is used for his spare set of ghostly arms he places around his dearest brother?

[@69belhaven]

A bit of the cut content is used for his grab attack.

[@kyawminkhant2165]

I think the bow he was holding in the animation is the one that St. Trina, his other self wield, sleep something bow

[@van_tigranyan]

Interesting that it is very similar to Ranni's dialogue

[@AbdoHany9]

what's the name of that freeze weapon u use at first clip btw?

[@The29Dave]

At this point I'm convinced Miyazaki just cuts out shit at random to artificially make his games seem more mysterious.

[@hatefulgaming1800]

Honestly people will deny this but I the souls games aren’t made with a full story in mind, the point of everything being left open is for people to decide for themselves what’s happening.

[@TREVORVADER]

Seriously. Like especially considering you can find so much cut content in this game that fills gaps or puts things in a new perspective I always wonder why they gut the lore so badly for final releases.

[@Wytchphyre]

​@@TREVORVADER because we all talk about it. It drives comments on social media like wildfire.

[@yulfine1688]

yes but no.. pretty sure it was meant as two dlcs and it was smashed together. Also the dlc only had a bit over a year of development time.. remember there was no dlc plans until after the major patches finished for the base game

[@stephenjenkins7971]

@@TREVORVADER They didn't gut anything; they never want to answer everything. They answer enough questions, but leave many open-ended. Do you guys just have zero idea how Fromsoft does things? This is not their first game. This is a constant thing.

[@GilangD21]

I love the cut one because its also work as a wedding vow, and emphasis that we are interrupted their wedding procession

[@samuelbrown7466]

Bow is probably just st.trinas bow or miquellas own bow while shooting st.trina arrows

[@TazKidNoah]

I feel like 2nd is default while 1st seems like unlocking from side quests if their was certain side quests solved in the DLC.

[@grapenut6094]

Whats that ash of war you used at 0:53

[@someothercobra8360]

I imagine somebody else brought this up but miguella's Cut dialogue is very similar to ranni's dialogue in her ending cutscene

[@danween]

it’s funny how the cut lines from Miquella are so similar to Ranni’s ending

[@bagabool]

bro, whats ur first weap that does the ice ash of war

[@skyfall5335]

1:06 am i tripping or is the moon and fire stance effect still going even when doing normal attacks?? how is this possible

[@livelouie2436]

That's what I'm trying to figure out I use that weapon but it doesn't do that for me

[@spaceman4286]

he is playing modded

[@slayerman517]

What sword art or sword is that in the start that your making a whole bubble of sword swings

[@CheezburgerSub]

Anybody else notice miquella is making a part of 'brand of sacrifice" from berserk? If he had his other arm, it would be identical

[@christiannuzzo7227]

the miquella cutscene with the scadutree might have something to do with his great rune, but got cut since we aren't supposed to see that as the player character

[@willow7380]

I hope there’s an update that adds more like that cutscene and etc

[@livelouie2436]

I havw a question what weapon r u using un the video is it the boss twinblase the magic and fire wepon if yea how so u keep the fire and magic on it while u fight when i use it i half to hold L2 then push r1,r2 to do a move how do u keep the flame and magic on while y fight

[@spaceman4286]

he is playing modded

[@Kevin0479]

When i defeated messmer and got to the giant chalise inthought we were going to burn down the the shadowtree too but inwas a bit disappointed that it doesnt do anything, it just made me think then its a dark souls reference beeing the lord vessel.

[@kevinrica36]

Has anyone tried going back to the base game and kill radabeast after getting hugged twice? The cut dialogue sounds like the narration for a new alternate ending. We might get a new ending after getting hugged twice?

[@liqqidsurgegaming2970]

Has anyone tried not killing them and going back to the end of the base came and seeing if there is a secret end. 🧐

[@ttelleemioo]

how do you make rellana's twin blade on magic and fire all the time?

[@mak680]

A little off topic but what armor is he wearing in the video? I don't think I've seen that head armor piece yet

[@onizuka]

cut content is 1 thing, mistranslated dialog and text is another. "shaman village", when it has a deeper meaning...jp it's shrine maiden /miko village

[@tapiocajack3004]

Maybe that why he have 4 arm, 2 for hugging and 2 for bow

[@valentinoosti9980]

The cut one is soo better

[@carlotzin56]

The Messmer lines were probably done intentionally to mislead people. Same with the "lost" cutscene with Miquella in front of the Shadow tree.

[@loganv9752]

I am very impressed with the dlc but as a major lore fan I wanted some of these cutscenes in the game I wouldn’t be so sad about it if we were getting another dlc or game but sadly that is highly unlikely

[@kellyjohnson4768]

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this yet but the cut dialogue sounds more like St Trina than Miquella

[@ShadyOakMinistries]

The idea of Miquella having a bow might actually be a huge Bible reference. In Revelation 6, the four horsemen of the Apocalypse are a callback to the book of Zechariah when spiritual entities are reporting and influencing global politics. The first of the riders is a white rider holding a bow, and later passages in chapter 13 clarify it will be through the promise of false peace. If that is the idea they had in mind, it's pretty hardcore they'd have people who did their homework enough include that little detail about the biggest baddie in Elden Ring and the introduction of the Antichrist.

[@LayDownAndRot]

Sucks that it isn't actually in the game in the end.

[@PR1ME98]

Messmers trailer voice could just be a placeholder voice. They probably didn’t finalize the VA during the making of the trailer.

[@debiluspegus8236]

An important question, is there any trace of godwyn content in the cut content that the community found? Because I refuse to believe that he wasn't supposed to be a major point of the dlc

[@csbshaw1]

I didn't see the mentioned timestamp for the cut version so here it is: 2:40

[@stepanovicboro]

Whats that weapon youre using for the first half of the fight? 👀 the one that applies frost

[@matsujpg7481]

You should consider revamping your Serosh's Claws mod. The moveset on it is really floaty, because it's taken from a boss moveset. It would be great to just take the model and put it over the new Beast Claws.

[@elia0162]

This enhance my thoughts about radahn being a last minute boss

[@AG30]

The alternate version makes a lot more sense to include

[@soltonali4481]

also leda had a lot of stuff that she said in the trailers that are not in the game

[@isaacbruner65]

Maybe it was changed for being way too similar to Ranni's ending. Some of this stuff ended up making it into his dialogue for the grab attack, though.

[@lucianoarrieta5786]

Your attack with the Katana is it a new Ash of War or is it a mod?🤔

[@Archontasil]

The cut audio is alternate ending where we marry miquella. It's similar to when we took rani's hand

[@GRIMHOOD99]

He says "...Radahn, my promised consort." If anything it would be alternate ending where we don't take the mantle and give it to them.

[@mrfujikaze]

if you consider ranni's ending speech mioquella is almost a cosmological reflection of her
