I'm playing Elden Ring again, and boy do I have thoughts. My thoughts are not important though. What do fans of Elden Ring want out of the Elden Ring successor? Anything you want to be improved, or added specifically?

Hopefully it’s a GaaS

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Less copy & paste.
Better camera.
Better feel to the melee combat.
Less focus on action, more focus on dungeon crawling.

Some of the repetitions are bizarre. The game would have been plenty long even if each boss and catacomb was unique. That they padded it so much is inexplicable to me.
Astel Naturalborn of the Void was such an amazing boss…but then you see its clone in a cave in the middle of nowhere. Why?

more victorian bloodborne vibes... or fuck it... open world bloodborne haha!
Dude, do you have any connection with miyazaki? anyway, I just like to micro look at everything, I want to see the details, not just being impressed at looking from a distance, I like graphics and attention to details, bosses looks ugly when you get closer and I don't want that again.I'm playing Elden Ring again, and boy do I have thoughts.

I'd love to see an additional mode that you could grind through as something else you could do besides just NG+. Like chalice dungeons or sekiro's boss rush mode but bigger and better than those or a roguelike-type mode. I know some people don't like roguelike stuff but I think it'd be super cool as a side mode.

I think Elden Ring story is done, with DLC they finished the game & for me Elden Ring needs to stay as single masterpiece that will never get a sequel. Just like Bloodborn.
I will like to see new IP in new universe with new story & same Elden Ring stile open world map exploration more diverse enemies & bosses, like in DLC with damn good aggression.

More than anything I hope we get a new setting.
After 3 Dark Souls games + Demon Souls + The Massive World of Elden Ring and its DLC I don't really know if there's a whole lot left for them to explore in the dark medieval fantasy setting. We've done the castles and dragons and dungeons and swamps multiple times already.
An open world in the style of Bloodborne would be awesome. I also still think something Sci Fi could be amazing.

Had no problem with the camera. I don’t think it can get much better. The problem is that the bosses are so damn fast that you lose track of them. This doesn’t require a better camera but faster and more fluid movements so the player can reposition better.
All you have when that Divine Dancing Lion is sitting on top of you is rolling. If you had faster and better movements, you wouldn’t find yourself in corners constantly trying to track it.

Not open world. Horror themed. Named Bloodborne 2.

I know! Waiting for a Switch or PS port. Don’t have a PC. Looks fantastic.

The tracking of the camera can be really bad, requiring constant adjustments, unless its always locked on.
But one thing they should really fix is the camera zoom with bigger enemies.
Often we just see the feet, and cant see when the boss is attacking.

I highly doubt we will get an Elden Ring successor but what I would like to see from their next Souls game:
1. Let us swim! Swimming / Diving not only unlocks new exploration potential but it would also be very cool to see Fromsofts take on underwater combat.
2. Keep the verticality. This is something that really sets Elden Rings open world apart from other games. Whatever they do next should continue to contain terrain on various levels including underground caverns.
3. Less repeating dungeons.
4. Environmental hazards
5. Couch multiplayer

It's come a long way but I'd love vast overhauls to the UI
And on PC I'd like M to be the map key like every other game on earth.
Oh and I'd like onscreen prompts to change automatically based on what I'm using to play.. I should not have to manually change from K+M to Controller when I go from PC to Steam Deck

What do you mean the tracking of the camera? I never play with the lock so I always rely on positioning the camera myself. The problem of course is that when enemies move so damn fast, the camera can only do so much because the other part of the job requires the player to reposition himself in relation to the enemies. Not exactly easy when all you have is a slow-as-shit roll and movement speed that hasn't increased since Dark Souls III whereas bosses are as fast as in Sekiro now.

We had some in Sekiro. We can agree to disagree but it wasn't very remarkable.

Sekiro's combat system is all I need.
After 15 years of spamming dodge rolls, it gets really stagnant.

Never locking? How did you play caster classes or play Bloodborne?

I never play with an offensive mage build.
Bloodborne’s lock-on is actually beneficial because it allows you to sidestep. In Elden Ring, it just restricts your movements.
Wait, I do use it when using bow and arrows sometimes.

I'd like more Legacy Dungeons that feel fulfilling to explore. I didn't mind the Open-World approach, but I definitely always loved making my way through the meatier parts of the game and Stormveil Castle is easily still my favourite location in the base game. A lot of the smaller areas were cool but they didn't last very long when you were exploring them.

ER is one of the most beautiful & haunting games I’ve ever played and that isn’t due to its technical prowess. It’s all about the art direction and atmosphere. That’s not to say that I would welcome a more stable frame rate or bump in resolution but that’s pretty far down on my list.

Branching dialogue and romance options.
I would like a completely new world with completely new lore. FromSoft's games are best when we are exploring a world we have no concept or idea of. Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Elden Ring. I hope ER2 continues that, but tbh I dunno if they can/will want complete breaks within an IP, and such a successful one at that.

They should do an open worldish bloodborne and you have a traveling base in the form of a gothic horse and buggy

That is exactly what I mean. It's often that the camera can't keep up with the action.

I've tried to do this before with Miyazaki hype. Turns out, my brain isn't even capable of dreaming up awesome enough things. All I can say it I'm ready to send my $70 as soon as he's willing to accept it.
Elden Ring is the best game I've ever played. No game has done more to fulfil the promise of "video game". The wonder, suspense and adventure are all unmatched. I definitely don't want him to spend a single hour worried about things like ray tracing or console performance. Shadow of the Erdtree is the best looking video game map of all time, so any time spent on such endeavors would be retromingent.

In a way, we can romance Ranni if we do her quest and get the ending "Age of Stars". We do become her consort eternal.
