Elden Ring is the world that is entirely devoid of hope, where many golden eras are all long past like millennia ago. There maybe another golden era coming, but it could just be a gilded age.
Melina has hope, and gives reasons for it if you talk to her down near the three fingers but before you interact with them. There’s just no hope of the status quo ever being fixed.
Melina had hopes on Miquella. Ranni had hopes on the stars. Each of the holder of an Elden Ring shard had a vision. Yet that was the precise reason for the current situation. Sure, their heart might have been in the right place, their hopes might have been just, but their methods were not. Hence, the lack of hope for regular denizens of that world.
FromSoft fans who have been around since Kingfield in the late 90s: “always has been” (because from hit gold with the old and decaying fantasy world with dwindling hope in its inhabitants atmospheric vibe and keep reusing it)
Dark Souls/Elden Ring
It’s not like I can die so it’s not that bad. It’s worse.

Exactly. Plus living in those worlds would suck, especially since you cannot even die.
I would totally retire to Majula, pet the kitty, befriend the blacksmiths daughter.
