Same line of thought.
I think we both know that's not true. There are a lot of similarities between Elden ring's medieval dark fantasy and MMOs of any age who have a medieval or at least semi medieval fantasy feel to them that would attract the same crowds. You are free to disagree of course but most people with common sense could make that connection even if you don't see it.

This is the same reason why the person that posted underneath you is making an outlandish take.

Also, your friends who do play XI like it right? Doesn't XI also not put markers for quests? I guess they like that sort of quest style too. Regardless of whether they played Elden ring or not.
