Wow, what a great write-up! That game is not my cup o' tea, and I wouldn't have any clue how to play it if I even wanted to, but I love your insights into FROM and the passion you have for their games.

Thanks. But you played and enjoyed Elden Ring, or am I completely out of my gourd now, lol? Their first-person dungeon crawlers are very similar to the post-Demon's Souls titles, albeit in first-person rather than third...and significantly slower in terms of movement. Anyway, I know it's not an NTSC-U/C release, and if you don't/won't emulate, it doesn't matter anyway.

I did indeed. Platinumed it. But the open world aspect (and the chance to level up) made it very appealing and accessible to me compared with other Souls games.

Ahh, I see. That makes sense. And I'm relieved to know that my fragile purchase on sanity is temporarily intact.
