One of the motivations of the player character in Elden Ring is to become Elden Lord – they’re to journey to The Lands Between and become the next Elden Lord. He’s one of the major players in the game. And Godfrey is sort of an embodiment of that. These dramatic and heroic characters weren’t really present in our previous titles, so this is something that was really appealing to me – how he would depict the mystique and heroic qualities of those characters. And when he wrote the mythos, we asked him to create these dramatic heroes of this ancient mythos that takes place before the events of the game. When we were talking with George Martin, we had these themes and ideas for creating pieces of artwork for the bosses, for these core characters of the story. Miyazaki unveiled many details about him, explaining that this character has a major presence in the story and represents a lot of the game world itself. The magazine's cover was dedicated to a specific Elden Ring character, Godfrey, whom you can see in this article's featured image. The resulting themes were mainly about connections between characters, such as parent and child relationships. FromSoftware apparently felt that working directly on the story and the in-game text would have actually limited the writer's creative potential. Martin only worked on Elden Ring's mythology. Despite the age difference, Miyazaki eventually came to think of Martin as an old friend of sorts and was thrilled to work with someone just as passionate for fantasy worlds. The Elden Ring director said he and other FromSoftware developers traveled to GRRM's hometown to meet with the famed author. AGE OF MYTHOLOGY 1.07 PATCH SERIESHe called the mythos created by GRRM a 'constant source of inspiration and impetus', and 'the biggest departure' from the Dark Souls series that allowed him to build something fresh. Miyazaki then spent a big part of the interview discussing the creative process with A Song of Ice and Fire creator George R. There are a lot of motifs and themes that I was able to pick from these various works that had an effect on the development of Elden Ring. There have been a lot of different works that influenced the creative process in various ways – The Lord Of The Rings, The Eternal Champion series of novels by Michael Moorcock, aspects of tabletop RPGs such as RuneQuest, etc. It’s difficult to give any one single inspiration that had a major impact on Elden Ring.
