What did the frenzied flame do?

[john michael official]

I just beat mohg the omen and got to the frenzied flame with the fingers and melina just left
is this going to negatively impact gameplay or anything like making it harder?

no, if you got the frenzied flame it means you are now on the path of one particular ending. However you can revert that by playing more and getting one item from some place and using it at a certain different place. You will forsake the frenzied flame and you can again choose the other endings provided you completed the relative quests

No, it only influences the storyline. But even then, you if you Miquella's Needle in Placidusax arena you would be able to choose a different ending instead; otherwise - you are locked into Frenzied Flame ending, but it does not change anything gameplay-wise.

even if you stay with the frenzied flame, all it does is to force you through an ending cutscene and this happens at the very end. The game plays basically the same in all endings. afaik

One of the biggest let downs is how nobody ever comments on you being the frenzy flame. Even people who absolutely would know what it is and what it represents.

In religious terms The Frenzy Flame is seen as the anti-christ by their world.

[faithful historian]

The flame is an outer god like the greater will and it and its worshiper want to burn the world to the ground to make everything one (May Chaos take the world) like it was in the beginning and you my sir just became it vessel it’s tool to do the the lord of frenzied flame

Greater Will is never stated to be an Outer Deity. It is always treated as something vastly greater and higher in hierarchy.
