Hidetaka Miyazaki, the renowned director responsible for creating amazing video games such asElden Ringand theDark Soulseries, was made the president of FromSoftware back in 2014. The studio has seen immense growth ever since, and there is no doubt he plays a major role in it.
While the director got to sit at the top of the hierarchy himself, there has been arguably no change in how they used to make the games than before, which is surprising as one would focus on maximizing profits after they achieve such a position. When asked about the same viaKotaku, Miyazaki revealed how that is not the case.
Hidetaka Miyazaki Reveals His Motto After Becoming The President Of FromSoftware
Dark Souls 3was a phenomenal hit for the studio, and it was followed by other successful games such asElden RingandSekiro: Shadows Die Twice. All of this came afterHidetaka Miyazakiwas promoted to president, which, as stated before, is surprising as one usually tends to go after profits instead of quality after achieving such a title.When asked if he was concerned with making money for the company, the director disclosed-
“No. It’s actually the opposite. If we avoided risks, we wouldn’t have positioned this game to be a turning point in the series and an end to the current storyline. I believe the new projects we will be announcing will show our stance and direction we’re headed to.“
“A very tough question”: Hidetaka Miyazaki Was Careful Not to Confirm a Very Well-known Dark Souls Time Travel Theory
He essentially revealed how he aims quite differently than others in the same position as him, as avoiding risks would not have allowed him to go all out withDark Souls 3, the game that proved his excellence as a director as well as a president for the company.
A decade later in 2024, the studio has grown significantly, and so has the production quality of the video game titles. With new elements being added in every new release,the director has mentioned how Elden Ring is better than all the other releasesdue to one particular feature.
Why This OneElden RingFeature Makes The Game Better Than The Other FromSoftware Releases
What we are talking about is the Ash of War feature in the game, which allows the player to freely choose what weapon art they would like to equip on their respective weapons. This feature, according to the director was placed intentionally, so there would be more freedom to what players can actually do in this open-world game.
The Ash of War feature gives its players the greatest deal of freedom that has never been seen before in any Soulslike game. It is also what we believe will set apart the coming Shadow of the Erdtree DLC than any other DLC that has been released in the past by FromSoftware.
