I wish the interviewer would've asked how Miyazaki/From felt about Sony's decision to not publish the game in the west. I'm sure Sony had initially planned a localization, especially if they were hoping for something "Elder Scrolls-like", and I wonder how much Miyazaki's comments about "bitter" feelings when struggling to explain his vision for the game's online play had to do with Sony's final decision. [Edit: That is to say, I wonder how much or if his inability to articulate his plans effected Sony's decision. I am not presuming that Sony's decision is what inspired his bitter thoughts, though it did somewhat read that way.]I loved the fact that both sides agree with Sony preferring to make the game into a completely new IP is very "SCE Like"
...I really need to play King's Field. Which is the best installment?
No, problem. I translated the original Dark Souls II 4Gamer interview (same interviewer as this one) and people seemed to like it, so I figured I'd do the same for this.
As someone who is very excited for Bloodborne, I'm glad I can share the content with everyone here.
I would say it's successful.Thanks for the translation Zefah, really appreaciated.
This is very interesting part on both Miyazakia as a creative person and FromSoft's way of handling their talent. It's good to see that Miyazaki is type of creative person that wouldn't be bogged down by his past work no matter how successful they are. Though the result of handing out Dark Souls 2 to a new person not really successful, giving chance to other might be beneficial in the long run.

I remember Yoshida mentioned in an interview once that when he first played Demon's Souls, the game ran terribly and the online systems weren't even testable yet. I'm sure Miyazaki had a lot of frustrating moments around that time.
And I wonder if there was ever talk of a Demon's Souls II. Did Sony never express any interest, or was From already committed to Dark Souls with Namco by the time they realized what they had with Demon's? Did any perspectives on Demon's Souls, like Yoshida's, change near the Japanese release, or did sentiments shift after the game's Western success months later?
I'd love a post mortem on the development and reception of the Demon's Souls.
Miyazaki:
[...] am definitely the director of Bloodborne, and my becoming president will not lessen my involvement in any way.
Seriously. The interviewer even wrote some of his opinion at the end of the interview where he basically called Miyazaki a genius.
I mirror your B team sentiments, as well. I'm a much bigger fan of Dark Souls II than a lot of people around here, and in my book at least, if that's their "B team," then they have nothing to worry about.
This man is a gem in the gaming world.This may apply to all aspects of my games, but especially with the network features, it can be very hard to get other people to understand my ideas (laughs).
Minority is vocal. DS2 is excellent.
Btw does "前提にできる" mean to take something for granted? I read through the article before your translation was finished and got caught on that phrase.
...I really need to play King's Field. Which is the best installment?
Minority is vocal. DS2 is excellent.
I think I'll wait for the official gameplay trailer of a more recent build hopefully at Gamescom and then do the same. I mean preorder is a lock but I just can't wait to see a bit more out of thirst then I need to just preorder and forget till the day I can preload.Thanks for the translation!
I'm thinking to start a media blockout at this moment... I'm sure that the game is going to be awesome and I don't want to know anymore in orther to be even more impressed with it
Imru al-Qays;117219908 said:I'm not sure it's accurate to call the proportion of Souls fans who have misgivings, of varying intensity, about DS2 a minority.
With Bloodborne apparently releasing in the first half of 2015 and Dark Souls 2 DLC wrapping up by the end of 2014, both of FROM's main teams will probably start working on their next projects relatively soon. I wonder what they're going to do next. Dark Souls 3? Bloodborne 2? Armored Core VI? King's Field V? Sequel to a different game? Something completely new? It will be interesting to find out which team is going to work on what.
Does anyone know who the other director is on bloodborne?
I wouldn't be so quick to presume they have only 2 "main teams", but it's certainly exciting to imagine what else they might have in the pipeline
What do you mean?
