About Elden Ring Nightreign

[マルコ]

Is it meant to be played with other people?
Can it be played alone? I'm more for single-player, and this will actually affect if I buy it or pass.

[Crowly]

Yeah you can play solo.

what, isn't it a DLC for Elden Ring?

[Nihrahk]

You can play Nightreign solo, but it will likely be a lot harder, since it's balanced for co-op.

It's a standalone game

[Senki]

they said it can be played solo as well but I'm not sure how well designed it will actually be for solo

like if the bosses are designed with co-op in mind then it's probably gonna be pretty annoying for solo until you get really good at the game

That triple wolf boss from the trailer will probably give solo players nightmares

i think Nightreign is a test game from fromsoftware to make a game like final fantasy 14 in the future

You mean to make a MMORPG or a game with braindead combat and classes with no customization to gameplay or stats?

lol
I've actually been playing FF14 these past 40 days, can attest to that - horrible combat, people there talk about "rotations" because you're supposed to cast your skills in a specific order, I could have a macro doing that, so f*cking dumb... meant to appeal masses and new players.
I'm doing it only for the story essentially xD

anyway I don't like this direction they're taking, actually just like Final Fantasy series, which seems to have forgotten why people loved their games, adding increasingly bad entries to the serie with 0 soul.
With this new game I wish they would stay single player and faithful to what we love them for. There is no need to re-invent something that works very well.

I strongly agree with your opinion

Except they're not. Nightreign is a spin-off of the original game. It's doing it's own thing while the original ER (and very likely future games) will still have the same Souls formula.

Wouldn't make a difference. They have different teams working on different games within the company. It's probably why Miyazaki isn't directing Nightreign: he's likely working on something else.
