Elden Ring is the latest in a long line of Soulsborne games by FromSoftware and the gaming community is here for it. The genre is not for the faint of heart and it is a cut-throat kind of game that will force the players to be more cooperative and contained.
The director certainly felt the side effect of his work and it is for the better. Director Hidetaka Miyazaki has contributed greatly to the game industry and has worked on successful games with positive side effects that made him more self-aware and conscious.
Elden Ring Director Is No Longer Hiding in Incognito
Soulsborne games encourage the community to explore massive worlds like in Elden Ring. Art imitates life and vice versa, the success of these games made it difficult for the director to blend in with the public which he briefly discussed in a recent interview. He said:
“In terms of how my own worldview and world has changed, I think it’s fair to say I get recognized when out and about quite a bit more than before,”
The director failed to realize that the success and popularity of his work would draw the attention he never wanted but rightfully deserved. Fans can easily recognize him which encouraged him to be always on his best behavior. He further added:
“Particularly from people from overseas. They’ll just come up to me and say hello. It gives me this feeling I didn’t have before, of people enjoying and playing these games. “And also it keeps me on my best behavior as well, when I know people know who I am.”
Whether Miyazaki likes to accept it or not, he has now become somewhat of a celebrity that people will idolize and adore. The humble nature of the director will make it hard for him to accept compliments and will most likely lead to awkward but wholesome interactions.
The praise and adoration that comes after developing one of the greatest Soulsborne games ever to exist is part of the gig. Miyazaki may want to try harder to blend in with the crowd, or he could accept the compliments with his head high.
The Life of Hidetaka Miyazaki Has Changed Forever
The fame can be considered a work perk, not everyone can handle it while remaining humble and down to earth. Other people would have their egos overinflated and think others are beneath them because of their achievements.
Miyazaki came from humble beginnings and understood the value of power, fame, and popularity and will not succumb to the delights of life. Being well-known for achievements can help keep his attitude more balanced and his behavior in check.
Not everyone can handle fame but it has been a long time coming for a man like Miyazaki. His work precedes him and it will not be long before the world knows his name.
The success of his games did not affect the director’s personality and his projects are a reflection of who he is. People tend to behave differently in public and Miyazaki is doing his best to protect his reputation.
