I was in a sober living home and could feel myself slipping backwards. One day I went to a flea market and bought a 360 and bought dark souls 2 because I thought it looked cool. I fell in love and idk, it refocused me, I took my recovery more seriously and ive been clean 4 years now. After dark souls 2 I picked up DS1,DS3, Bloodborne and I fell in love even more. And then sekiro and elden ring.. Miyazaki just does not miss

    Knowing his influences, Miyazaki must have felt right at home when got into From Software. They already had a penchant for vague and indirect story telling. Never get tired of his story, it's really heartwarming to see another human not only achieve their dream. But it gets taken further in that his dream is a medium that he can use to bring so many of us a long for the ride.

    It's incredible how a single person can drastically change a company and generate so much value around themselves. In the case of Miyazaki, he is undoubtedly a man with exceptional talent. Beyond the notoriety and economic success that his leadership has brought to FromSoftware, he has also propelled the industry forward, promoted the creation of quality entertainment, and debunked the notion pushed by major companies that video games are only enjoyed as a service where you constantly pay for worthless content. It's also important to consider the value he has promoted solely through the discussion of his ideas, enabling content creators to engage in profound conversations and allowing numerous enthusiasts to explore artistic, cultural, and philosophical aspects through the analysis of his work. Only exceptional ideas and the dedication invested in them can achieve that level of admiration.

      @Tortle-Man 10 месяцев назад +3

      I’d argue Miyazaki did not really change From Software much. If you see the games From Software made before he arrived they were already ripe with Gothic Themes and dark indirect storytelling. I feel far more that Miyazaki’s success comes about because his creative style is so in sync, so synergetic to the company he works for. He makes games that the people at From Software just seem uniquely capable of making.

    This is such a great video. I just started playing Dark Souls and Sekiro this year and i had no idea heow inspired he was. His backstory really hits close to me, even the part about working hard to support his sister in college. As a kid in Nigeria in the 2000s, i had no access to the internet or much of current entertainment media partly due to my family's financial situation but also the developing status of my country. My dad and mom would instead buy VHS tapes of animated literature classics like Treasure Island and the original Star Wars. They also bought me adventure novels like Three Musketeers and others. So growing up, i always had a preference for reading books and i love fantasy fiction and adventure stories. Even cartoons i watched like Dexter's laboratory, featured references to Dungeons and dragons. Now, i want to write my own fiction books and create stories like Miyazake does.

    I am a self-taught piano player and am currently recording my first album. This is my first experience doing this and now i understand why art can kill you. Since every song has to be perfectly played, playing one single wrong note means starting again from the beginning . So I decided I would see every song as a boss in a Fromsoft game, because these games taught me that it doesn't matter how many times you have to go again, all that matters is not giving up. So thanks Mr Miyazaki and all the people who brought these beautiful games into existence. I'll beat the fuck out of this final boss.

    Along with Hironobu Sakaguchi, Hiroyuki Ito, Yasumi Matsuno, Chris Avellone and Raphael Colantonio, Hidetaka Miyazaki is amongst my greatest inspirations to become a game creator.
    His artistic and aesthetic vision can be felt throughout every single of the games he has done, and the soulslike and sekiro aren't the only thing he has produced, he also did Déraciné, a little VR adventure game for PlayStation and his creative mark can be felt there. His themes involving alchemy, gnosticism and other occult and philosophical texts is exquisite, and the way the gameplay and the exploration deliver such concepts is one of the greatest experiences in recent memory.

    What I love about Miyazaki is that his creativity comes from vague, often complex feelings he got from situations in his life. While it is often difficult to explain these feelings, he understands that studying their building blocks is what recreates them. For example, the multiplayer in Souls is based on an experience he had when he was stuck in the snow with his car. Strangers came out of nowhere to push him out and disappeared into the night. They never spoke a word. Another thing is the feeling he got from difficult fantasy books he read in his youth, in which he had combine puzzling, filling in the blanks, and making things up to make sense of them. We feel that feeling too when we're trying to make sense of the story of a Souls game.

    From Software has become the modern golden standard in gaming, and it's majorly thanks to him. It shows just how important it is that the CEO and the lead game designer of the company are the same person, and creative ideas are never compromised for the sake of increased profitability. An important thing to also mention is I'm pretty sure the loyalty From Software fans have towards the studio and especially towards Miyazaki himself is unprecedented in the gaming industry. The only way to earn such a high degree of trust where people would blindly buy any game you make, and have such an insanely widespread positive word-by-mouth reputation is to ALWAYS set the bar very high and ALWAYS manage to jump it. Armored Core 6 shows this so well. A hardcore mecha game becoming mainstream in 2023 is simply absurd. The only studio that could achieve that is From Software, simply because people have unquestioned faith in their games, regardless of their genre at this point.

    this was really well done. really good quality and digestible context as always. :) . so much i never knew, it was interesting to see his journey. some very wholesome moments, a lot of respect for putting dreams on hold for family. i'm sure Miyazaki would be proud and embarrassed to see this video haha. i hope he sees this video. it's already changed how i see Miyazaki's and his work.
    always speculated on boardgames and very old classic almost dnd type inspirations. i also love dragon pass and sorcery.
    this would've been a lot of research and effort. thank you DondonRV.

    Watching that visual description about the references from Berserk and seeing how the reflective imagery that mirrors what we all experienced… magnificent! His games are so much more deep than they are given credit for. You start to see how life & the multiplicative interactions that come from it will often blossom throughout
    - it’s so beautiful. I believe that Elden ring is the greatest game ever created (so far) and that it, personally, helped me in overcoming my recent trauma - getting paralyzed.

    This video is the greatest I found on the internet about Miyazaki. It’s funny because I had the same passions and the same younger path than him. I found a lot of myself in him. That’s explained why I love so much his games. Sadly I think I had not the same intellectual capacity, work dedication and also self confidence to succeed as him. Not I’ve failed my professional life (I’ve a good job) but I would loved have worked on the same type of creating job processes… I believe that he succeed because he did what he loved to do and play. Also reinventing himself each time with a new universe. Great man, I wish I could meet one day..

    Never played a from software game until elden ring and after playing and beating elden ring I’ve become OBSESSED with every fromsoft game. I’ve played and beaten every dark souls game multiple times over. Played and beaten Sekiro multiple times over. Since elden rings release date I’ve played nothing but souls games or difficult games like dark souls. After tasting that difficulty and overcoming it I have never enjoyed anything like this in any other game

    This video is really great, I love hearing more about his background before he started making souls games. I think it's very cool how grateful he was to fromsoft for giving him a chance and now he has nearly single handedly made them one of the most successful game development companies today. I'm also grateful that they gave him a chance because now my favorite games of all time exist 😁

    Even though they are unrelated (and I doubt they consume each other's media much), there is a clear similarity between the Miyazaki's of Souls and Studio Ghibli. Both have examples where they clearly draw influence from Berserk, and they have similar approaches in the grandeaur of their worlds and the questions they manifest in the consumer's minds. They teach very different lessons, but both make me feel nostalgic for places I've never been and experiences I've never had.
