    In my opinion I honestly believe that Miyazaki is the one of greatest artist of the modern age. The souls games genuinely feel like beautiful art to me and I know I’m not the only one. He has the mind of some of the greatest artists in history. When I learned Miyazakis story though your videos it inspired me. The fact that he flipped his entire life around at 30 years old makes me also want to pursue my dreams. Its never to late.

    • @dondonrv
      @dondonrv  11 месяцев назад +47

      We share the same view. He is like the Cervantes or Milton of our times. I believe he is a living genius :) And his passion for creating games is unequaled.

      ​​​@@dondonrvEspecially with Elden Ring imo. It's hard to describe the feelings that it gave me. Such a beautiful world, with the erdtree towering over everything. I think the best way to describe it is magical. Unlike the souls world, in Elden Ring the world isn't dying yet. I feel as if i'm at the end of the age of myths with the demi-gods still being around but decayed like Radahn Malenia, Rennala, Rykard, Godrick, etc. Miyazaki has made several masterpieces like Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Dark Souls 3, and Armored Core 6. He is a true artist and his team at FS truly love what they do which is truly rare in modern day Triple AAA+ video game industry.

    I lived in Tokyo through 2014-2016 and the excitement I saw and promotional material for Bloodborne was insane. Everyone was so excited for the game and as someone who never played a FS game before that point I didn't understand why it was so exciting. From the demos I saw in stores though the aesthetics and environments was strikingly horrifying yet intriguing. I never forgot what I saw and I'm excited to be playing it now for the first time on my PS5. The game is whopping my ass way more than Dark Souls 1 did lol!

      It's my first fromsoft title too I regretted buying it when cleric beast kept kicking my ass, I dropped it and never touched it for like 3 weeks. One day I'm recommended a vaati video about bloodborne, I watched 3 minutes and stopped the video to avoid spoilers. Those 3 minutes of vaati's video saved me from missing out on what is now my favorite game of all time and my favorite fictional universe.

    I really love how they kept the cosmic horror secret from all the trailers n such as far as I know. I remember when the blood moon lowers and you start seeing the eldritch-esque entities for the first time and the story starts to deepen far beyond what you had expected. I all but literally soiled myself.

    My wife is not a gamer. She only played the witcher 3 and thats it. When i bought Bloodborne she watched me playing for an hour or something and asked if she can try. Of course i laughed at her... She killed the first cleric beast :/ We played the game for weeks and these were one of our best weeks ever. Bloodborne is truly a game for everyone like Miazaki said.

    Another of the main inspiriations of bloodborne thats part of the victorian era is all the medical references. Bloodborne makes many references to victorian medical colleges and anatomy and it is a major part of the lore. There is a series on youtube called bloodbornes medical metaphor an agony of effort that goes into this in more depth.

    I really respect Miyazaki a lot. In an industry that heaps praise on the director alone, Miyazaki makes it a point to always name drop members of the team or department that pulled off something incredible. And based on how he talks about focusing on a healthy work environment, he seems like a great boss that actually gets it. He’s not just a good director, he seems like a really good person.

    Man, looking at that 9:40 footage from E3 2014, I just can't imagine what a Bloodborne that looked THAT GOOD graphically would have been like. I guess downgrades were necessary for the performance of the game since it looked super ambitious effects wise, but MAN.

    I complained in the past about the moving background of the presentation slides, and it felt very gratifying to see you'd moved on from them in your recent videos. I like to read along to your narration, it makes it easier to get all the information in one viewing, and it's helpful considering how nebulous Miyazaki can be. Very high quality documentary over all. It'll be a while yet but ooooh boy. Good luck on the Elden Ring video. I'm really looking forward to all your contributions. I've picked up Berserk simply so your video on its inspirations wouldn't spoil me the story. You're doing a ton of good for the fandom, thank you for all your hard work!

    I feel like from softwares games are the ones closest to art in our medium ”within” our medium, so to speak. There are plenty of artistic games but they all seem to veer away from being games in essence. For me Fez, ED, Silent Hill1&2) & Bloodborne are our best examples for games as art. Im not sure this discussion is so important anymore as it was back in 2008 but I do feel that developers in general have forgotten the transcendental aspect of games more and more since those days.
    Thank you so much for your hard work to give us insight into this brilliant artistic mind:

    The issue is most likely SONY themselves they will not let go of the copyright and allow a port. Its the final well liked exclusive on a PS system that they can say is a serious exclusive. People have BOUGHT the system entirely to play the game. I'm proof I bought a used PS4 myself even JUST to play this game and it only. This game helps the selling of the PS5 probably as people may have bought one knowing this game could be played on it.

Thankfully someone has since re-uploaded it, with only a couple videos missing. It's very long, but I HIGHLY recommend watching the entire series asap as there's some of the most incredible insight to be gained and it might get removed again.
      Just search for: "An Agony of Effort, The True Story of Bloodborne".
      It explores the thematic inspiration of Edinburgh's dark medical history, particularly regarding autopsies (theorised to be the origin of having "eyes on the inside") and the pursuit of insight at the cost of one's humanity (i.e becoming beasts).

A giant open world where you explore decrepit gothic streets. Then there are giant gothic castles that are legacy dungeons. And smaller dungeons around random corners to explore.

And fortunately, Miyazaki does not also prioritize monetization and does not avoid taking risks (otherwise he would not conclude the Dark Souls series, and would just keep spitting out a new Dark Souls entry every 1.5 years) His resignation from Oracle, leaving his secure job, and taking the risk of starting fresh is truly symbolic to what he will be in the future (and what kind of company President he will be) He even have the guts to make contact with George RR Martin (our future video!)

    I really applaud you for making this video and continuing the series. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.
    I really think Miyazaki San is probably the greatest game director or concept artist we have.
