I know I'm in the minority on this given by comments all over the internet, but I do not want it to be like Sekiro. I don't hate Sekiro, but it's not the kind of game for me. It's very different than Dark Souls and more akin to Ninja Gaiden/Devil May Cry. I don't want that kind of game, but if they make it like that, more power to them. But I won't buy it if it ends up like that and/or trade it in like I did with Sekiro. Whereas Dark Souls 1 I've bought 3 times, DS2 twice, and DS3 twice, I just can't do that kind of game (Sekiro). I want more rpg, less action game. If it leans into more of an action game like Sekiro/Ninja Gaiden, I'm out.
And that's okay, there's obviously an audience for it, just is not me at all. I respect those kind of games, it's just not my preference for Elden Ring.
