Elden Ring: Players complain about the status icons, it is not clear what they are for

Elden Ring

Elden Ring has been out for two weeks, but FromSoftware's work is so boundless and full of mysteries that it will probably be talked about for a long time to come. Speaking of "mysteries", there is one that apparently does not go down well for many players, namely the one related to the effects represented by the status icons under the VP and PA bar of the Senzaluce.

For the uninitiated, in Elden Ring the equipment, the buffs of spells or consumable items, as well as some attacks of the enemies can activate permanent or temporary positive or negative statuses, represented in the game interface by various different icons located under the bar status of the Senzaluce. The bone of contention in this regard is that the game does not explain in any way the effects linked to the aforementioned icons, not even by examining the game menus.

Let's take as an example the image of the Reddit thread below: could you say precisely which effects are linked to the status icons (obviously without consulting external sources)?

In the same discussion, numerous users complained about this lack on the part of FromSoftware, which of its own has opted for a minimalist game interface that contrasts with that of other open world today, but which perhaps is the end of it. too stingy with details.

Only by consulting external sources, such as this page of Fextralife, we learn, for example, that the red icon represents an increase in life points and that it is a permanent buff as in the background there is a square and not a diamond (which instead indicates temporary boosts / debuffs).

Of course, in some cases these effects are determined by the equipment, so just read the description to get an idea of ​​which buffs / debuffs or altered states are activated, but this only partially solves the problem. We would therefore need an internal page in the menus that explains exactly what each icon represents (among other things present in the "tutorial" sections of many games).
