Hidetaka Miyazaki Emphasizes Balance in Game Difficulty and Team Collaboration

The acclaimed game director values team input and focuses on the legacy of FromSoftware's titles over personal recognition.

Hidetaka Miyazaki, renowned for creating challenging games like Dark Souls and Elden Ring, aims to balance playability with difficulty.
Miyazaki doesn't have the final say in game development, exemplified by his inability to alter a character's fate in Bloodborne.
Miyazaki's collaboration with George R.R. Martin for Elden Ring highlights his openness to working with others and valuing team input.
Despite his success, Miyazaki focuses on the quality and legacy of FromSoftware's titles, rather than personal recognition.
FromSoftware is moving away from the Souls series, with Miyazaki expressing interest in creating new franchises and projects.
