Dark Souls and Elden Ring creator Hidetaka Miyazaki talks about his own lack of skills in these games
From Software is one of the most popular developers ever. After selling more than 20 million copies of Elden Ring, the studio can’t do anything wrong, according to some fans. The community of the Souls franchise is very big and always looking for new ways to increase the experience of these titles.
The director of this game has been given several interviews, allowing fans to discover some very interesting details about him. Miyazaki has revealed in a recent interview that he is not very good playing From Software games.
In an interview with The New Yorker, he spoke about how he is not very good at playing Dark Souls games and how he dies all the time. But thanks to this particular lack of skills, he improved this experience for other players, making the defeat of a difficult boss something that players really consider a great achievement.
He talks about how he always looks for ways to make death in games a feature or even some kind of mechanic, so players can keep trying until they accomplish their goals in the game.
Hidetaka Miyazaki and the future of From Software
This Japanese director is very sure about the incredible difficulty of their games. Miyazaki is very proud of making players work hard to overcome an enemy and give even more joy after they overcome their opponents. He said, “I just want as many players as possible to experience the joy that comes from overcoming hardship.” Fans all over the world agreed with this, and they are very happy about being present in every new game by From Software.
There is no indication or clue as to what will be the next game developed by From Software. Last year, the studio launched Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, which became the most-sold game in this franchise thanks to the popularity that From Software has.
