It's bigger than lots of full games and has a proper beginning/middle/end. In the old days, it would have just been a sequel.

I love Elden Ring, but a lot of the asset work on making a game is done for the devs when they go to work on DLC. Not sure if its right to compare with games that had to make a full game from scratch. Haven't played shadow of the erdtree yet though, maybe it is transformative.

Assets get reused all the time. Elden Ring base game is reusing assets from Sekiro and Dark Souls 3. I haven't played Rebirth but I'm pretty sure it's also reusing assets from the previous Final Fantasy remake.

Asset reuse happens all the time even between sequels.
