One thing that Elden Ring gets right is Naming Things. Fantasy names often feel fake or forced. Real world names feel right even if you're hearing one for the first time. Maybe its because of some shared proto-indo-european roots that we subconsciously grok. Crumbling Farum Azula though, hits right.

Tolkien also has a similar characteristic. Perhaps because of how much time he spent building the linguistic world behind LotR.

Agreed on location names but I'm not a fan of all the enemy names in Elden Ring -- they all sound the same. Miquella, Marika, Melina, Malenia

George R.R Martin truly killed in this one. Dialogues, Naming and everything is on point. Miyazaki said he will make a better one next... and i know he is genius but how ? What will it be ?

Then there’s me who never made it past the first tree sentinel(another cool name btw). I gave up for a year, but with the new DLC should I give it another spin?

From software has always been perfect for people with an imagination. That’s my favorite part of their games. Interpreting the story can be half the fun as vaatividya on YouTube has shown.

I think the trick was adding a seasoning of Latin to the names to make them sound more familiar to us. Tickles that collective unconscious in just the right spot.
