Looking at an article revealing how Miyazaki finds his own creations to be hard, Jaffe mentioned how Elden Ring puts forward a severe lack of communication between the game and the player, doing a terrible job of making them understand the mechanics put in place.
The director also states how Miyazaki ultimately refuses to introduce different difficulties into the game as he already knows every piece of aid that has been provided in the game.

From being called out by the director of God of War, to receiving criticism from fans around the world, one thing that many appreciate about FromSoftware is how it manages to remain unhinged, even doubling down on its values in the recent Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.
