Pre-Shattering and Post Game DLC please FS

[The Dogfather]

I would love a pre-shattering DLC where we get to meet the demigods before the shattering happened.

Pre-shattering
- Fight Marika
- Fight Godwyn the Golden
- Meet Ranni in her human form
- Delve more into Miquella and Malenia story line as well as half brother Mohg.

Post Game
- Fight Miquella (although going by lore he is supposed to be the even harder than his sister and that fight was a nightmare to get through already, I am not sure I can handle a boss fight that is 10 x harder).
- Fight Ranni (who will probably summon in her dragons and Blaidd)

I do imagine we will get a pre-shattering DLC, as From does like to go back in time (DS1 with Artorias, DS2 with all DLC, DS3 kinda with Painted World?).

Thematically though - there are some options. For Ranni, I would see it being encapsulated in the past as a "Going to the Academy in it's prime" sorta deal, where you meet stupidly powerful wizards and stuff and just expound on the lore with the magic and character relationships. Maybe they finish off with a new Renalla fight that is actually stupidly tough and you beat her so bad it explains her weaker self in the "present day".

Miquella and Mohg would be interesting - maybe some tie-ins with St.Trina also being abused or betrayed by Mohg or something and ends up being why Miquella is asleep (got hit with some crazy Sleeping Beauty style ♥♥♥♥).

I would also be interested in Marika being in a DLC - though I think it wouldn't end with you fighting her unless:
- It is the last DLC
and
- It introduces the next potential threat sorta (assuming they continue the series).
So like - I could see it being Marika attacking the Giants, and maybe you can pick a side; but fighting Marika would result in an Outer God stopping the fight to protect the time-stream. Maybe another Elden Beast or a personification of the "Greater Will". Otherwise, I would imagine it being her making you basically extinct the Giants.

Oooh god, i can't even imagine how epic that's gonna be

I dont think Miquella is much of a fighter, the lore mainly implies he was more of a "brains" type of person rather than "brawn", and his power seems to be based on brainwashing.

Besides Malenia might be a bit of a brocon... cant blame her based on all he did for her, but her opinion on him could easily be biased.

Who said Miquella's fighting style is similar to his sister's?

Goes without saying he was also a child (in body)

[The Dogfather]

But Gideon of Ofnir even suggests it might be better to just kill Miquella in the cocoon while he sleeps than actually face him at all.

Didn't people already complain about all the "copy pasting" in this game? Seems like this would make the issue worse.

And to be honest I don't mind seeing "snapshots" of the past, but I'd rather not see a prequel level DLC, because seeing predestined failures isn't as interesting as seeing something new.

[The Dogfather]

Maybe Miquella summons 10 Malenias into the fight ? LOL

Nobody ever said his fighting style would be simiar, only harder.

These are all brilliant suggestions

Good luck finding devs that have the balls to allow the player to not only hurt, but even kill a child.

We are talking about Japanese developers here, not Western developers and their sensitivities LOL

Have you ever seen a western developer dress a young girl in some of the outfits these Japanese developers put onto their young girl characters? Yet its a common occurrence when it comes to JRPG's
