Given their popularly turn-based gameplay, the JRPG subgenre also lends itself well to the handheld and pick-up-and-play incentive behind the Steam Deck. That makes 2020's PC re-release of Persona 4 Golden a solid pick, with its extensive runtime particularly friendlier thanks to the Deck's form fac

Choosing the second option gives the player Baldachin's Blessing, which increases poise. But the exact phrasing of the choice, and the way in which the embrace happens, is what makes it hilarious, especially considering how serious in tone the game is. Because of that, this moment pushes over into almost absurd

Elden Ring is a game with a seemingly endless list of characters, armor sets, and weapons to discover. With what's to offer, fans can go on making cosplay outfits for a while, and if DLC ever comes, it'll introduce more ways to create potentially popular cosplays. Other side characters have already received a lot of love from fans on Reddit and other online spaces; the Pastor of Vows, Mirel, even got an adorable Elden Ring turtle Pope cosplay from user AwkwardBob-omb . One character in need of a good cosplay is Starscourge Radahn; fans have already created a ton of incredible fan art for him, but now it's time he receives a good imitator, as he's one of the most prominent characters in all of **Elden Ring ** 's l

There is an abundance of Elden Ring cosplay designs, but some of the best imitate Malenia, iconic player character Let Me Solo Her, and the Bloody Wolf - among others. What makes these so fascinating is how well they bring the fantastic characters to life. They also display a sense of appreciation for FromSoftware's unique world, the Lands Betw

When it comes to JRPGs, Square Enix's Final Fantasy franchise is a titan of the industry, becoming synonymous with the subgenre in the process. The publisher recently finished releasing the last of the games in the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster collection, and are perhaps some of the easiest picks for longtime fans looking for a dose of 16-bit-era nostalgia and newcomers with even a cursory interest in getting into the ser

In Soulslike RPGs ranging from Demon's Souls to Dark Souls 3 , the total weight of a player character's equipment affects how quickly they can roll, and Elden Ring's armor and poise rules are no different. Heavy armor and weapons coupled with low Stamina will cause players to roll slowly and awkwardly, while lighter armor and weapons gives players access to swifter "medium" or "light" rolls with longer periods of invincibil

Queen Marika had several demigod children, but only a select number of them were classified as Empyreans. These special entities are tasked with being vassals of an Outer God known, in this case, as the Greater Will that created the Elden Ring and the Golden Order that governs the l

Ever since the game's release back in late February 2022, Elden Ring 's convention-breaking developers at FromSoftware have been responding to player feedback and compiling regular updates to fix perceived gameplay issues and improve the accessibility of the RPG as a whole. One major example of this is an update applied to the game menu that appears when Elden Ring player characters rest at a Sight of Lost Grace checkpoint; if players possess the materials needs to upgrade the number of charges or the restorative powers of their healing/magical energy flasks, a golden dot will appear next to the "Flasks" menu option. Updates like these aren't quite as exciting as the buffing/nerfing of fantasy weapons/magic, but do massively improve Elden Ring 's gameplay and story by ensuring players won't lose track of when/if they can upgrade their primary restorative resour

Malenia, Blade of Miquella is the most imitated Elden Ring character. She's quite possibly the toughest boss FromSoftware has ever created, and she processes a dynamic aesthetic that's unmatched. While there are plenty of custom designs out there, one particularly beautiful Elden Ring Malenia cosplay got FromSoftware's approval . Twitter user Sparrowhawk Cosplay released images that highlighted Malenia's best attributes, and they did it in a way that showed off an ultra-realistic and highly-detailed version of the Goddess of Rot. This cosplayer custom makes their own designs, making the costume even more impressive, warranting the amount of traction it got onl

Ranni the Witch has also had her fair share or fan-made cosplays. In much of the same way Malenia is adored, Ranni is too, but she possesses more of a mysterious side that intrigues players rather than a fierce warrior-like persona. Ranni was one of the first Elden Ring characters to get attention online, and many theories about exactly who she was and what kind of role she played in the grand story were passed around. It's no surprise that she is a fan favorite, and even the famed cosplayer, Jessica Nigri , WWW.Eldenringfans.Com showed her love for the character on Twitter by turning heads with an Elden Ring Ranni cosplay . Since then, many fans have created their own Ranni cosplay, but Jessica's remains the most well-known, and it might be the costume that has the most traction out of any ot
