Man I love fromsoftware

Me done with Elden Ring: "Thank you Chef Miyazaki, best dinner I've had in years." Miyazaki: "Dinner? That was the appetizer..."

What Miyazaki has done for us gamers will never be forgotten. If only I could be so grossly incandescent 🌞

I dread the day Miyazaki retires.

Dlc and prime 4 what a time to be alive

Probably his ideal game would be entirely poison swamps.

Very unfortunate that you didn't get a review copy, but don't be discouraged man your videos are great.

FROM is what every company should strive to be like. I am 54 and seen a lot of really good gaming companies come and go over the years. Look at Blizzard now. They used to be highly respected, pre-WoW, and that was like 20+ years ago. Then all of the good people left and the company is crap now. Like anything else it always starts at the top. People should really be loving these games right now, it could all change very quickly. Miyazaki saying he feels like he hasn't made his perfect RPG yet makes me smile. That tells me FROM is going to continue to make a lot of really awesome games. I am very happy for FROM, they certainly deserve the credit they are getting these days. It's funny he mentions DS1 and BB, those are my two very favorite FROM games. These are really special games and I am happy a lot of people have been going back and playing the souls games before ER came out. I tried telling people, but they were all like "No, I heard it was too hard." "Did you try it?" "No, I read about it." Don't believe everything you read. ;) True story: when I played DS1 back in 2011 I got stuck at the Gaping Dragon (yeah I know, crazy right?) This was back when souls games were kinda new. Anyways, I was so upset that I could not get passed it my eyes were literally welling up in tears I loved the game so much. Well, I kept trying and I finally beat that sucker and was just so elated. I have not looked back. I'm a souls veteran now and I kind of laugh telling that because the games are so much more advanced now. These are just very special games. Thank you FROM.

Taking this friday off work for DLC.

It'll only get better. Miyazaki said in another interview he wants to have other directors take care of games that make money so he can get to making the games HE wants to make. Don't know about you but I'd love to see what he makes as a passion project.

How lucky are we to have a company like Fromsoftware in our lives ❤️

The man just wants his own Miyazaki but no one else can even come close. Kind of makes me sad for him

I legit feel like a kid at Christmas I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!

I don't know if anyone has ever noticed, when sitting at the sites of grace, the flame shape and animation is exactly the same as the humanities from Dark Souls 1. I always appreciated that subtle touch in Elden Ring.

You deserved a review copy, brother

I hope one day Dark Souls gets a full remake treatment like Demon’s Souls did

I’m so excited for tomorrow holy shit!!!!!

I love how instead of using his powerful position for personal means he uses it as leverage for the other workers

Bro is for sure getting a review copy for the next game ☝🏻💯💯

Elden Ring is the reason I went and played all the Dark Souls games again. I can't wait for the DLC. Seems so far away

Seamless co op would be an amazing addition

I remember the interview where Miyazaki mentioned Tarkov inspiration. With the growing success of Dark And Darker i think that FromSoftware made fantasy-tarkov style game would be very cool. Also, i would wish they remade Kings Field so much. I never played those games ( and never probably will unless they are remade ) but saw videos and read about them and picked up on the atmosphere and vibe of it and i would really wish something like that existed.

Rocking the sponsors lately my man, good for you, after all your work

Everything is always on point. Can't get enough!

love your channel man!

im so freaking excited man!

Absolutely can’t wait! 🔥

Looking shredded in that displate add my man! Keep up the gains 💪

Miyazaki is the goat. I used to see from software as the underdog that gets no attention. Now it's rightfully where it deserves at the top.

I hope for an Elden Ring II. I love the lore Mizayaki and G.R.R. created. They could keep adding more stuff, new reg enemies, bosses and even bosses so powerful you NEED to co-op play it with friends or randoms. Don't care much for PvP but it would be cool to see what direction they go with it, but co-op is much more fun. Maybe even open world online with different factions/parties/guilds that race to beat bosses that FromSoft can add new bosses each month or something. Or even those guilds battling out against each other for loot. Endless possibilities!

Damn, I love Miyazaki. His words relating to the layoffs in particular are just what I think needed to be said.

Zio's cooking with these vids ngl

My favourite souls creator! Always a treat when Zio’s bell tolls🔔. Keep it up 🔥 & may the flames guide theeeee

Still annoyed you didn’t get a review copy! Would’ve loved to hear your early review

It is insane you didn't get a review copy. Chin up Z!

My only concern is that the DLC probably took up the entire dev team and we’ll likely be waiting another 5-8 years for his dream RPG to be finished and that’s only if Elden Ring doesn’t get another DLC in the future. I know a lot of people are going to say there will be no 2nd DLC but money is king and we all know SoE is gonna be just as good as the base game. I pray we get a new IP out of Fromsoft before the end of this decade. Love your content brother!

Hey zio, your coverage for shadow of the erdtree is going to put you over the top and reach the next level, the hype train for this dlc is unmatched!

18 hours left at the time of watching. SO READY!

Appreciate all the news headlines! Nice to have all the interviews laid out like this... On a side note: Why is the gaming community so into Corporations firing their staff? Big companies care about the bottom line. Is that news to anyone? That news is all over the place. On IGN every other day. Honestly, I care if a company makes good games. I don't care how they treat their employees. And, I think if everyone was honest with themselves, they would admit that they didn't really care either. So, it's a weird thing we've been obsessing over, as a community

At some point Miyazaki is going to have to pass the torch. And he deserves to be able to play his ideal game and enjoy it the way we do. He's given us so much.

this year is so good for gaming

This absolute mad man makes one of the best games of the decade then turns around and says, “nah, I can do better.” I love this guy and I can’t wait for what comes next.

Miyazaki quoting iwata, and all the things he said leading to it and afterward, that's gotta be the most badass business-related thing anyone has ever said.

Nice video as always, I'm sure From Software will continue their quality or even improve it. Every game they put out is just super great work. Cheers from Germany

I think like most of us that love fantasy we have that wish to just exist in a fantasy world. Where you can experience it like you experience life now. Isekais are popular for a reason.

MZ really loves the fighting fantasy Gamebooks I also enjoyed in the 80s

Unrelated but credit where credit is due (minor spoilers related to the dlc so avoid rest if this if you are going in blind): Zio was spot-on predicting a certain enemy type was more-or-less the Elden Ring Winter Lantern. You called this s**t a mile out. Not sure I am happy you were right or not (for obvious reasons), but you absolutely called it.

Praise the Elden Ring therefore Praise the Message

My ideal DLC is half the map being a lake of Deathblight with no platforms and a dragonkin-malenia-pre shattering Radahn bossfight inside

It’s not always about having to get better, as long as FSW keeps their values and core mechanics , each new game will be successful. Let’s get another spiritual successor to Sekiro or Bb out there too. Souls is my fav and it seems to be the money maker for FSW but they can do both now

I think that i find a messmer statue in (outer wall phantom tree. grand lift of Dectus. Grand lift of rold) but with not snakes but with flowers i think is messmer before became Impaler :1

Fromsoft really reminds me of Rockstar games as a company. Like them they add something good to their existing mechanics and evolve for the future. Every game they made add something missing from the previous one and succeed it. They added power stance in DS2 and it was a success, they added in weapon arts and it was a success, they added deflect to formula in Sekiro and it was a success. At the end they combined every good aspect in Elden Ring with huge open map, evolve weapon arts to changeable ashes of wars and evolve the exploration feeling even further. So if anything I would be so hopeful and excited for their next game. They always get better while doing new things. One proof of that is DLCs always better than their main games. Fresh work from Fromsoft is just something to look for imo.

I honestly took 1:55 as him hinting towards some kind of proc gen narrative thing. Not unlike Ken Levine's 'narrative lego' concept, but taken further and made much more open ended than Levine's team managed. Basically, an AI DM.

Next game will be insane.

Giving Miyazaki a taste of his own medicine by making the secret map only accessible by using the armpit fart emote you got from the far corner of the map in front of a nondescript wall behind big Joe's crusty shack in the starting area

Nice video, man. Hope FromSoft do something quite different next time. Maybe even a new genre for them, like survival horror

Zio you have come so far and grown so much since I first found your channel keep up the good work. also check out Lords of the Fallen that game has really good multiplayer and is quite well made. I am excited for Lords of the fallen 2, which is the third game in the series! Honestly hope that game is one miyazaki can finally enjoy like one of his own babies!

I hope the next game will have pvp something like invasions and Arena

That supposed leaked magic game it would be cool if the main castle area has a dense deep labyrinth that shifts over time. Making it an unpredictable short of game that relies on exploration and remembering landmarks of sorts to navigate the area.

I would love to see from software revisit games like tenchu or kings field or eternal ring or shadow tower abyss

I'd like a recommendation of what build I should take for dlc

Miyazaki is a true artist. Trying to chase perfection but knows he has not yet achieved it but in our perspective he is on another plane of existence and his games are perfect and exactly what we ask for, for the fans

They’ve already got such a perfect formula.

Having a souls game where you automatically shift into someone’s world would be pretty much exactly how it works lore wise and would be soo cool. Imagine seeing a homie on your way to the next boss.

a future Miyazaki x Miyazaki (Studio Ghibli) FromSoft game would be awesome

Man you can tell the entire career of a RU-vidr by the step ladder of sponsors

So many of my questions were answered in this interview. Fromsoft is the only developer that I have trust in these days. I have played FSsoft games since ps1. They have never left a shred of disappointment

Larian and FromSoftware. Industry titans

Like Sheamus in the WWE, From just keeps making Banger after Banger after Banger after Banger

i hope mitazaki lives forever

Im in love with this game Developer company

Kings Field 2! Yes! I think it's one of the best games Fromsoftware has ever made.

As others have said elsewhere, from does need to update its engine too

Multi-player needs to be like absolver, or journey where you just randomly run into players

we need Armored Core 6 dlc or 7

Fromsoftware, Team Ninja, and Tencent need to all team up for one big mega game that has everything fans could want in an action, adventure mmorpg. That could be a true masterpiece

Your character is EXACTLY like mine. Same fashion from head to toe, same weapon, same spells. Great minds think alike.

I do want to see more of the old school style of From Software games. I love open world From Software, but there is something lost. The excitement of finding shortcuts back to old areas is totally gone when the game is just a huge open world. I think it would be ideal for there to always be 1 open world From Software game and then 1 that is more like the older games. Kind of like 2D Mario and 3D Mario.

I'm gonna be traveling for a bit. I need to find someone to watch play the dlc, any recs? Would prefer a thorough person with a chill vibe. RU-vid/twitch both ok.

How about implement an in game random enemy/itemizer for a change…

A true classic fantasy game with like a proper knight's fantasy world and story and fantastically stylish armour. I'm just truly glad he still wants to make his ideal game, I hope we get to experience it soon enough.

AW, that statement about Miyazaki wanting someone else to make his game so he could play it was just about the sweetest thing I've ever heard. The man so such a pure gamer.

If the next game can have sekiros deflects i would be happy

Miyazaki is the goat! Thank you, Mr Miayazaki 🙏

I think he’s hinting that the next game will be completely open kinda like a baldurs gate where you can do anything you want and interact with thing however you like so that you can create your own very unique story this will let him be surprised by the game

My employer, NVIDIA, has the same ethos as From: people who are concerned about losing their jobs cannot focus on doing their best work. I love it here, and now NVIDIA is the world's most valuable company -- so there might just be something to this ethos. Other companies should take notice.

I imagine crafting and magic being a bigger part would make it more perfect. I only really had to actually look for those blood boluses ingredients for blood loss Also seamless coop and local 4 play coop would be absolutely nut worthy

Elden Ring is definitely a near perfect fantasy, so the thought of something providing an even deeper and more fulfilling experience is honestly kind of terrifying. Miyazaki, you dog!

Miyazaki single handedly carry the whole triple A gaming industry

I think the games will get better. I believe in this company they have never let me down ever since Demon souls. However I also dont expect all their future games to match Elden Rings size and scope in terms of content and depth.

sounds very promising, that's for sure. Would love to see them deviate further from their traditional style, and do like a space RPG or something. AC is cool but it's not really part of their RPG stuff which is what I like

I actualy had this idea if fromsoft made a dark souls pvp game, because the PVP can be good, not entirely in elden ring because of the overpowered builds but in a game designed around pvp, this could be really cool

Miyazaki paraphrasing the great Iwata. This is the timeline.

2:06 I think he said that because of the rise of other game studios make there own games in the genre like lies of p and lords of the fallen and give them the approval to ho crazy in the souls genre.

I want more armored core!!!!

I think there will be a 2nd DLC. Miyazaki is a master of deception. A 2nd DLC would take this game into the stratosphere.

For me the ideal would be for them to do a legacy dungeon that is the whole game! A bit like DS1 map. Like a babel tower that reaches the sky and the deep depths of the earth, with a lovecraftian feel, and covenants with pvp integrated in the campaign rather than how it is in ER. I’d say an evolution of Dark Souls 1, way longer and more mysterious, dark, and ruthless. Ideally that never ends 😂 He needs to upload his brain to an AI that produces content non-stop 👌

Hopefully some games that aren't boring.

Let Miyazaki COOK on his next game.
