To paraphrase a legendary tweet about what FromSoftware games have done to modern videogame narratives: A story can just be some guy with a big sword who says, "Zanzibart… forgive me," in his dying breath, and a bunch of YouTubers will make hour-long videos about it.
And by "a bunch of YouTubers," they mostly meant VaatiVidya, the YouTuber everyone goes to for FromSoftware lore explanations. He's been doing it since Dark Souls and still isn't finished picking apart Elden Ring. And he'll be taking this cycle to its next step with a book that includes all the scripts he's written over the past three years.
