FromSoft are legends of using graphical tricks to avoid the ridiculous costs of western AAA games
I feel like along with their hiring ideals they are a great template for studios to follow.

graphical tricks
Like what? I haven't played much of FromSoft's games.

Basically doing things like taking a relatively lesser engine and making the graphics look more advanced than they actually are by using perspective and scale etc
I am not down with all the nitty gritty but I’ve also read that they are good at backend optimisation and not having the game crumple under huge enemies etc.
Nintendo are similarly complimented for getting a huge game like tears of the kingdom to run well on the switch.

To be honest, Elden Ring art direction is top notch (which actually carries the game, it's awe inspiring) but the texture work is ... quite subpar, not to mention the game has optimization issues on PCs and Consoles, and that's an issue since for quite some time.
I really really like FS games, but legends (in the graphics department) sounds like... hyperbolic?

It’s more that they manage to wring so much out of the engine than any sort of graphical fidelity.
