Miyazaki said in an interview: 私の名前は宮崎です。ゲームに沼地を追加するのが大好きです。沼地は訪問したり不動産を建設したりするのに最適な景観です。 (Translated) There aren't enough swamps in the DLC. My team is working on adding 2 or 3 more swamps to the already 4 swamps present. We feel as if there aren't enough negative poisonous effects.

[@scout4808]

No way

[@sonodavidjr6485]

this is golden

[@NickCombs]

Yeah I think you're right about "weeks" being mistranslated from new game and ng+. There was a comment that got translated and it was asking about whether defeating Radahn and Mohg unlocked the DLC for "many weeks" and someone responded saying it should need to be unlocked separately for each week (run).

[@SDSypher]

so he’s just saying we gotta kill the required bosses (radahn and mohg) to access the DLC every playthrough? That makes a lot more sense

[@NickCombs]

@@SDSypher yeah, just a couple of commenters. not part of the interview

[@xphn1985]

"two week" means new game + here

[@jorgeestella4441]

Thank you

[@SDSypher]

Yes. He’s essentially just saying that you’ll need to kill the required bosses (of course) to access the DLC every playthrough. The same way you gotta kill specific bosses to access parts of the main game, every NG+

[@Jripped1209]

I love that you are covering this. Very excited for ur coverage when it comes out!

[@NickCombs]

The way I interpret Miquella and Trina being "different existences" (w/o having a real translation) is that they are not the same person. But like Miyazaki said, they are definitely related in some way. The distinction is interesting because it doesn't seem to be a Marigon situation, since they are consider one "existence."

I think it is interesting that, you don’t have to finish the games story to play the DLC, I think it’ll be a prequel type thing, plus the fact none of the elden ring NPCs are in the DLC

[@Ghorda9]

it's not a "prequel" it's a parallel story in another continent

It’s been the same way for near every past fromsoft game

[@Hornsent_Orhyn]

@@tomsmith184 na they’re wrong, do not worry. This time it’s different, ER dlc will be the only one that is canonically concurrent with the events of the basegame, timeline wise. Not prequel, nor sequel.

June is gonna be awesome! Shadow of the erdtree and DRG season 5

[@lumieretheforgiven3804]

Hey dude I got a question from Twilight princess? How did zany get the mirror of twilight in the temple of time? Do you think it has anything to do with the sage sword that ganondorf stole from the dead sage? And if it's not what could do it? Perhaps the hero of time had something to do with it? And if so why? Final thing I swear...did twilight princess link end up in termina the same as the old hero of time instead of the twilight realm where he thought midna would be? And if so what happened to him?

[@jonmann4980]

It’s worth noting that when he said it takes him 30 hours to complete that it my first play through took me 120 hours however my following play through I’ve optimized down to about 12 hours per run on new characters so 30 is a reasonable ground

[@SpottedHares]

Gotta wonder about the time completion numbers. I kept a check list and at just 67 hours( I did just walk away quite a few time to do things like wash dishes) the game was some 95% checked off?

[@pieflies]

Those numbers are averages, so not everyone will have exactly the average. Completionist is listed as 130 hours but my first play through was more than double that. That doesn’t discredit the average, it just means I’m an outlier on the curve.

[@mooshugaipan]

Super happy with the relative confirmation that the DLC will be its own thing. I've seen others preparing characters in the base game and have been wanting to do the same but I was always concerned I'd end up missing content when the DLC actually released.

[@johnmorris1009]

Miquella is mentioned in the preview, so if what you're saying is true, it's a different Miquella? It must be the same person. I think the "Shadow of the Erd Tree" is Miquella's Haligtree.

[@petrstraka7334]

I must be playing it the moment it comes out

Thanks for the heads up. These foreign articles are easy to miss.

[@Dimumouto]

>more projects that explore the world of Elden Ring This has me the most interested, since we've had small snippets of other lands out there; the Land of Reeds, the Badlands, wherever Marika came from, and exploring the more cosmic side of the world. Bloodborne connection down the line?

[@jessiejoy1703]

8 different new categories is absolutely wild!!! How??😂

[@mikedelgrande5296]

My first ER playthrough was… over 300 hours. BUT I fully completed game in one run except for the 3 endings trophy. Killed every enemy and boss, found every weapon, item, armor and gear. Combed through every square inch of the lands between. Then I did 6 more consecutive playthroughs and put the game down for good. I’m very much looking forward to a brand new playthrough from scratch in preparation for SOTE. I’m literally building my first PC specifically to replay ER and and then play the DLC.

[@pieflies]

Same for me. My first playthrough was around 280.

[@Sleezy-yeti]

[@jaked6746]

My first play thru took 192hrs, now that was me going for platinum everything aside from the “complete multiple endings” which I am working towards in my NG+ I started NG+ with the hope it would scale to the DLC so that’s exciting, but man I hope I don’t have to complete the base game again to access the DLC entrance point. Similar to most DLC I have a feeling we’ll enter from somewhere in base (Miquella cocoon most likely)

[@ChBrahm]

Dude it would be amazing to eventually get an Elden Ring 2 or just as he said another IP connected to this one We could go to the Land of Reeds, the Badlands or Numen There are so many places we could visit Now Dark Souls also hinted at places that we never got to see like Carthus or Astora so completely new places could also be added to a potential ER2

[@DragonDonut64]

I didn’t hear a no when Miyazaki was asked about a potential Elden Ring 2 one day.

[@ihateallthethings2683]

It was ridiculously successful it’s definitely been discussed at some level I’d imagine

[@ketsi3079]

he never say no to anything because he dont want to give empty promises even if hes 99% certain because there is always that 1% chance

[@buhbuh305]

im just gonna complete it after ive finished the story i think itd be cool to become the elden lord then return to back what happened in the shattering

[@johnmorris1009]

I love the lore of Elden Ring and quite happy sit down to watch videos about it. I like that this game is about Miquella and his ambiguous plans for the Lands Between, which we thought never came to fruition. He seemed like a good and noble Demigod, but this DLC might tell a different story. I wonder if this is set before or after the Tarnished? Was he corrupted by Mohg, or someone else? Can't wait to find out :)

[@connor22071998]

The fact that you need to defeat Mohg confirms that you will enter the DLC via the cocoon in his arena as was theorised

[@flammatic5286]

yes

[@Beaudreams]

Ima leave this here for the KZbinr, yo boss you can upload the interview to your channel on private and turn on KZbin's Ai voice over translate which will translate everything he's saying with pretty high accuracy onto the screen with subs and you can just re-record it after, thought I'd leave the tip

[@Lesoyskrr]

Will I be able to play this dlc on a completed playthrough I completed the game and wanna stay on this character

[@SDSypher]

Something to keep in mind about Miyazaki, is that he’s basically KNOWN for down playing the scale of his games. He’s always does it. When he says something like “there’s no guarantee you’ll have any questions answered after finishing the DLC”, I just think he’s insinuating that you have to go out of your way to put the story together, like you have to in the base game. You could play through the entire base game and have no clue what the plot is if you’re missing dialogue/NPC’s, and not reading item descriptions. I think that’s what he means.

[@unixtreme]

Miyazaki was right on his estimates imo. My first lap through Elden Ring took under 30 hours. The next one when I 100% took like 50. And I'm not particularly skilled or anything.

[@hanisramli6507]

I have 100℅ elden ring in my third play through at 200hrs, with "some" KZbin guide and Wikipedia. Been gaming for 20+ years, by far elden ring was the best for me and im not even a soul fan before, but now i know what git gud means. The design, mechanics, model, game world, scripts, moveset, story and lore are all tailored to perfection, what a masterpiece.

[@jeremiahmiller2742]

Dude that Zelda music from the mirrored Hyrule makes me think that's where FromSoft got the idea of this DLC Thanks for that

[@ScarletHaze]

[@domin8tion651]

I’m kinda sad that the dlc will scale with my current new game I really hope the scaling is on point cuz I’m not trying to get oneshot by some random enemy in a dungeon

[@Ghorda9]

i believe it would only affect your damage

[@fatherblue4048]

Elden ring DLC has more content than TOTK by at least 10 fold 😭🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@TokinwithTobi]

Dude what if miquella is multiple people, not just melina, but also potentially Radagon and Marika. It's been hinted that miquella lived a different life from the other gods/shardbearers so in a sense he could have had 4 separate persons in total

[@ajfleming1247]

Gotta replay it all again its not cross progression

[@Josh.Pointer]

It’s not a cross progression platform game. You reached lvl 300 on PlayStation..you are now playing on Xbox, you’ll start at lvl 1

[@mrman-yj3bn]

2 goals likely means 2 endings right?

[@MithyG]

And then there's me who never actually beat the game started on Xbox and then had to restart on PS5 I'm at radahn

[@hornplayerchris]

You said only Mohg is required to enter the DLC, but in the IGN interview Migazaki said also Radahn is required.

[@waelmhimdi7479]

I think the interviewer asked him why we should kill radhan to enter the dlc in which he responded it would be a spoil to tell why but it has lore implications

[@djkramnik1]

Miyazaki has stated in other interviews that he doesn't play his own games. So his estimation of the time for completion has nothing to do with his personal experience of playing through the games

[@SpottedHares]

For reference he think we takes 30-60 of campaign and much longer to do everything else… the campaign is 3 hours(most of which is using your sparrow to boost through their empty world) and the overall game is 60-70 hours.

[@_CrimsonBlade]

So miyazaki himself is a scrub who cant wven stomach his own games😂

[@yellowflash511]

Ofc he plays. He meant he doesn't play completed games on which there's nothing to work on.

[@pout1385]

​@@_CrimsonBladeHe doesn't play AFTER the game's release, but he plays more than enough during development. If I remember correctly, the team that made Armored Core 6 said that they generally use Miyazaki as a metric to evaluate the difficulty of their games, if he can't pass it means the game is too difficult.

[@balls433]

It took me 7 months just to “complete” the base game. It took me 7 more months to get all the gold trophies. It took me 3 more months to get to lvl 414. Then 2 more months to explore EVERYTHING. And 2 more weeks to get the platinum trophy. The bro is lying to me, when he says 30 fucking hours. Lmao
