How come Elden Ring didn't have an "IT'S OVER" guy?

Because it wasn't directed by Miyazaki. It only bears his name. Elden Ring has no soul.

That archetype in FromSoft RPGs predates Miyazaki joining the company.

I'm used to people spouting shit here, but the confidence people do it with still surprises me.

ER is SUPPOSED to have a brighter mood, but they still injected their typical writing where the vast majority of NPCs die at the end of their quest lines.

I know you're baiting, but it did feel like they toned down the grimdark stuff. Dark Souls 3 has body horror like the pilgrims turning into "butterflies" or worse yet "angels", pure depression kino like Irina's quest where you have to equip her bf's gauntlets to hug her after he kills himself. Even pic related's quest was completely hopeless. Her grandpa goes mad, she needs your help to put him out of his misery. Then she mysteriously disappears, you look around, and find her dead in front of his grave. Elden Ring didn't dare to pull off ANYTHING like this.

Because the world genuinely isn't over yet. In all the DS games, you're just living in the ruins of a doomed world, giving up is natural. In ER there is still the possibility of unfucking the situation, and most of the NPCs you meet have some plan to do so (or make it worse because lol).

No soul. Just forced-soul wallpaper.
