(Timestamps in the Description) Thanks for watching! If you enjoyed the video, please consider subscribing.
Thanks god these videos got longer. Making my way through your uploads, still on ds2.
Subbed within 2 min of the start of the video! Great content I can tell, excited to go through your playlists.
Thanks for the feedback! It means a lot to me! :)
I may cry the day Miyazaki retires.
I think he will keep creating games up to old age :)
My discord and I were just discussing how we hope he's secretly immortal. I definitely see him being involved in some form as long as he can given his passion.
I think Hidetaka MIyazaki has the same passion for his craft as Hayao Miyazaki..and we all know Hayao is still very productive at 80+.
@@dondonrvI agree, I genuinely believe this man just has so much creative energy and passion that he will likely keep making games until he physically cannot do so anymore.
If he does it would either the start of the souls games downfall or it would continue to thrive, if taken over by someone that Miyazaki can trust and knows very well how to create a good souls game
I love how humble Miyazaki is. Each interview he makes sure to credit his team. You rarely see that from big name developers. Truly a one of a kind creator.
Agreed! And he takes accountability for the negatives :)
agree. well he is starting making game at age 30 so he doesnt have the 'elitist superiority' many developer have who start making games right after high school or college graduation.
i beleieve he feel deep gratitude to be able join and creating game at game company at the age 30, so being haughty is the least he ever thought.
tldr : praise miyazaki
Fromsoft is the only game company that I'll happily preorder without a second thought. They've earned the fanbases trust in them
Agreed! :)
I love how you describe it as “his fourth masterpiece”, and know that there is at least two more to come. Miyazaki is without question the most prolific game creator of all time. His library of triumphs is unrivaled.
Agreed! So far no failure yet! :)
My man delivering one masterpiece after the next.
Haha..thank you! :)
As a fan of The Vision of Escaflowne, I was surprised to find out Miyazaki is also a fan of this underrated series from this video. I hope one day, Miyazaki is given a chance to create a fantasy mecha game. ☺️
Yes! I hope the next game of Miyazaki is a Fantasy Mecha game! :)
How in the hell a company with 200 staff managed to make 3 high-tier games simultaneously??
Diablo III took 10+ years, and same with Diablo IV :)
Journalists try not asking Miyazaki the same question about multitasking challenge (impossible)
Hahah...and it will appear again in our Sekiro video :) (Because it's truly remarkable, a company president directing multiple games in 2 to 3 plus year windows... meanwhile, some games like Diablo III and Diablo IV takes 10+ years to develop and then just fizzle out upon release, without making a dent in the gaming industry)
you are incredible for this series. please don't stop
My pleasure! Thank you! :)
@@dondonrv Our pleasure.
@@dondonrv you gonna run out of game soon lmao. What's next?
Haha.. many people think that this channel is about Berserk or about the Making of games... It's a game design channel. All the videos so far are just prelude to that... many preparatory videos to go before the true content of the channel begins. My end goal is to create a game with our channel community, but lots of prep work to reach that (We will go through lots of game design topics, and with the audience now familiar with the "making" of games, they can relate more to design concepts. And we have an excellent model and a common point of reference, Miyazaki-san and his games. The next major series in this channel will be "The Game Design of X" and so on (these videos will still be part of the preparatory content, and not yet the true content of this channel) We are in a stage of getting everyone in the same page, so we can "run" when the prep work is done.
@@dondonrv ooo I'm looking forward to that. I really look forward to your videos man. You got me playing Bloodborne again
As someone who's currently playing dark souls 3 for the first time. I can truly say this game a master piece.
Glad you like the game! :)
Can't to watch the eventual Elden Ring video but Sekiro is up next.
Haha.. I can't wait for Elden Ring as well :) Sekiro next!
@@dondonrv59:27 A very subtle nod to the future.
@@dondonrvi hope you publish the Elden ring video after the dlc announcement, for that it may comes with additional interviews
I'm thinking the same! :) (I might not cover yet Elden Ring and start with our new series after Sekiro)
19:28 and 30:02 from the very bottom of my heart, I can't thank enough to Fromsoft for giving miyazaki chance to create his own game since the Demon souls era, and it made him who he is now.
Thanks for sharing! Yes, it all started with Demon's Souls, we're fortunate FromSoftware trusted him to direct it :)
My man’s is the best on TH-cam for dark souls and Miyazaki information!
Let's go! :)
Im legitimately getting emotional listening to Miyazakis quotes. “Beyond the games I make there is very little value in me.” Not true but it shows how truly devoted he is to his craft, and we are all so lucky we get to enjoy these games. Dude doesnt even want to present the games himself, what a boss.
I feel like each of these videos has presented me with so much new information, despite being a big fan since demons souls. Thanks for naking these
My pleasure! Thank you! :)
The deep development lore here is matchless. I don't know if I needed to hear about the habanero chicken wings challenge, but now the idea of a Miyazaki game with fantasy mecha is going to keep me up at night.
Haha...Thanks! :)
Thank you so much for making this! Dark Souls 3 is one of my favorite games of all time and will forever be the definitive Soulsborne experience to me. Watching this brought back some phenomenal memories. Truly the perfect closing to the Dark Souls series. Thank you Dark Souls!
My pleasure! Thank you! :)
It's hard to think of a game that tops dark souls 3 for me. When I first bought it in 2018-2019 I actually hated it, then 3 years later I had bought ds1 remastered and eldem ring and played them for several hundred hours combined. I then decided to play bloodborne a bit since I had a PS5, didn't finish but did like it. Then when looking through my steam library and noticed dark souls 3 again, so I decided to play it and I lost myself in it for days, exploring every crevice, loving every second of it and then I beat it, and honestly that feeling of finality made my sad but unbelievably happy with one of th best gaming experiences I have ever had. Even before I played the DLC, DS3 held a special place in my heart. I really hope we don't get a dark souls 4, because I know it will never give me that same experience I had with 3. Thank you Miyazaki, please keep making games.
That character customisation ost is so relaxing, anyways another masterpiece
Haha..thank you! :)
Ps : I have over 3,000 hours playing dark souls 3 out of the numbers playthroughs among builds of invasions I created. Dark souls 3 was basically my crack and I was highly addicted to the game which I still play it to this very day with the invasion online experience. I don't know how to explain it but it is far superior than Elden ring online experience and I can't explain it you just have to feel it to understand.
Thanks for sharing!
I'm not a PvP guy, but I can acknowledge DS3 to have some of the better PvP experiences in From games. I have fond memories of messing around with Mound Makers covenant.
You're spoiling us with all this high quality, well researched and extraordinarily thorough content, and somehow it remains interesting throughout. Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks for the kind feedback! Much appreciated! :)
the subtle elden ring & sekiro sounds when you talk about the future games at 1:01:56 and previous was so good! Great video as always, can't wait for sekiro, elden ring & maybe armored core 6? :D
You noticed! Thanks for the kind feedback! Much appreciated! :)
thanks to you for these such detailed videos, we appreciate it greatly! keep up the good work 💪@@dondonrv
They scared me haha 😰
God, hearing the music makes me want to start another run. You need to release these as live streams so you can have chat going.
How are you doing this? You’re pumping these out so fast and they are so well done. I get the feeling you’ve had these in the can for a while already and are just staggering the releases. Are you just a guy or a small team?
However you are doing, it I’m a big fan and wish all the future success for your channel.
Haha..thank you! I don't have a team, just doing it solo. And I just learned how to make videos as well.. :) (Game Design of MIyazaki is my obsession, so it's highly engaging for me!)
@@dondonrv have any of the souls tubers shown you any love? Guys like Vaati, Iron Pineapple and Lemon should shout you out to their audiences.
Keep up the great work!
@@dondonrv Let me just add I know there’s a much bigger audience out there that you’re not yet reaching. I’m sure you will tho.
@@dondonrv let me just say one more thing regarding Miyazaki worship. I have pictures of my personal heroes on the wall of my house, Einstein and a Carl Sagan are prominent there. I refer to them as uncle Carl and uncle Al. I’ve lately been considering adding uncle Hidetaka. Cheers!
Im only 30 minutes into the video and I can not thank you enough, for this and for the other videos.
You are a treasure for the community.
Thanks for the kind feedback! Much appreciated! :)
It’s insane to me how Miyazaki has consistently shown how much love and passion he has for his art. He shares traits that not a single non-indie studio has done (from what I’ve seen) due to him just loving building complex worlds with so much history
And yet on top of all that he so often makes sure to let interviewers know this isn’t a one man ship and praises them constantly. Once in a lifetime guy who found the career he was made for
Thank you so so so much for the videos you’ve been making. I’ve been stuck in bed for the past few months from a really bad back injury, and these vids have been helping me immensely during these times 💖
My pleasure! Thank you! :)
The making of darksouls series is so great! thank you. It's hard to believe how often you upload ! Keep it up man
My pleasure! Thank you! :)
Love the DS2 majula theme music. I’ve passed out with that in the background many times and it is seared into my brain.
Haha..Yes, it's very relaxing! :)
Miyazaki is the best his love for Bloodborne just makes him more likeable to me lmao
Haha... BB is also my fav! :)
These videos are just great. Keep up the good work!!
It really shines a light on Miyazaki and his ethics. He’s seems like such a gracious person who just wants to create the best work he can. He’s also striving for the best gaming experience too so you know all the games that has the Miyazaki Touch will be fun.
Thanks for the kind feedback! Much appreciated! :) (I think I'm one of the biggest fans of Miyazaki! :) )
@@dondonrv it’s understandable. He’s always trying to elevate others and himself through the challenges in his games. He wants people to succeed and improve.
The hard work you’ve put into this series has been nothing short of spectacular!! 🤘
Now that I think about it, will you mention or make a dedicated video about Deracine? Even though I didn’t try it, i found it interesting while watching playthroughs. And Miyazaki directed it, so there could be juicy interviews.
Thanks for the input! Deracine and Sekiro were developed in parallel and it will be mentioned a lot in the Sekiro video.
@@dondonrv great!
these videos are so beast, literally one of my favorite soulsborne series on youtube, definitely rivals the quality of some of the top channels. I would go as far to consider this a top channel already
Thanks for the kind feedback! Much appreciated! :)
The little nod to sekiro using the whistle at 1:01:56, from tutorial of the game is sneaky and a fun reference. Great work
Thank you! :)
Your channel is so underrated bro, you deserves more viewers and subscribers! Good job with the video, its very entertaining!
Thanks for the kind feedback! Much appreciated! :)
I love this series! So much work in looking back at even old message boards and comments on old videos to share what people were feeling about it back then. I came to the Soulsborne series only just two years ago, so I missed the excitement of it back then. I love that you include that in the videos! 🎉
Thank you! :)
That “my dark souls story” video was top notch. Super creative and truly impressive.
Only just found your content. Instant sub. Love how in-depth you go
Wow, this was so well researched! Video essays on these games are cool, but insight into how the games were actually produced is such a treat! I’ve never seen this topic covered as clearly and extensively. I’ll be checking out your other documentaries!
Thanks for the kind feedback! Much appreciated! :)
i Sincerely hope you cover Armored Core 6 after elden ring as it was the first time in 10 years fromsoftware changed their style from souls back to armored core with a diffrent director than miyazaki
Thanks for the input! :)
it's insanely impressive how they can make high quality games so efficiently. it comes with its sacrifices, but the final products are still so well done. i've been looking for as much info as i can on the cut content for dark souls 3, and it's so interesting to see their development mindset and how they decided to change things over time. huge parts of the story and gameplay were able to be repurposed, and the early version of ds3's story is so much different than the final product
Thanks for sharing! Very interesting! :)
I'm a huge fan of your previous "Making of Dark Souls" videos and this video was also amazing! Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to research everything.. it really shines! 😊
My pleasure! Thank you! :)
Thank you for your hard work making these videos, they make me appreciate these games even more than i already did. :)
My pleasure! Thank you! :)
His humility makes me want to cry a little, he says he isn't very valuable outside of his games...i guess that's why he's so inspired by stuff like berserk. Reminds me of Maynard James Keenan. What a sweet man and a fantastic creative.
Miyazaki's journey is very inspiring! :)
I've watched all of your videos about FROM. Really digging learning backstory about games RN - for some reason. The insights into Miyazaki's way of thinking about games and design is my biggest takeaway. Thanks for all the hard work.
My pleasure! Thank you! :)
Yayayayay! I’ve been looking forward to this video so much!
Thank you! :)
Excellent, what a wonderful thing to wake up to! Just going to grab my breakfast & settle in to watch. Thank you!!! Loving this series so much👏🙂
My pleasure! Thank you! :)
You are really cranking these videos out, yet the quality never dips. You truly spoil us 👍
Thanks for the kind feedback! Much appreciated! :)
Thanks bro I was looking forward to this and I honestly would love to see what you can do in lore videos.
My pleasure! Thank you! :)
Great quality content on that channel. Thank you so much Sir for your documentary. Warm regards.
Thanks for the kind feedback! Much appreciated! :)
As I finished my first play-through of Dark Souls III, perfect timing to watch this :), thank you. Enjoying these a lot
My pleasure! Thank you! :)
26:07 the irony of that part ab presentation - I love this man
Haha.. yeah! :)
1:50:41 What I wouldn't give to experience an event like that
This game is so special to my brother and I. Combining our hours for this game and we break 7.5-8k hours. We grew up play DS games and it makes me really sad that DS3 is the last. Imagine what DS4 could accomplish but miyazaki has already said that DS3 is the end.
Thanks for sharing! And don't worry! Miyazaki will create more spiritual sequels and new exciting IPs! :)
ds3 title screen music brings out such a visceral emotion in me. Not sure how to explain it except makes me want to install ds3
I think it might be Nostalgia! I have plenty of good memories as well playing Dark Souls III! (At a time when neither Sekiro nor Elden Ring exists, I played it a lot!) :)
@@dondonrvSame :) thanks for this .. truly
It was awesome seeing Vatti in this video. He looks so young!
Great work. You deserve so much more credit. I think eventually your videos will blow it.
Thanks for the kind feedback! Much appreciated! :)
I haven’t watched this yet but I know it’s gonna be good because of your track record! Y’all are doing so well with your output and quality too!! This’ll be good I know. Thanks for your work!
Thanks for the kind feedback! Much appreciated! :)
I just finished sekiro last week, can't wait to see what you cook for the next video man!
Thank you! Much appreciated! :)
Great video! The big work put in it shows very well!
Thanks for the kind feedback! Much appreciated! :)
Thanks again for these videos! You are one of the best TH-camrs of all time!
Thanks for the kind feedback! Much appreciated! :)
Thanks for making another 2+ hour banger I can rewatch every few months to bask in the brilliance of Miyazaki and Fromsoft
My pleasure! Thank you! :)
Thanks for making these in depth videos for all of us fromsoft fans
My pleasure! Thank you! :)
1:01:55 I love the whistle from Sekiro being used as Miyazaki vaguely alludes to it, once again great editing made my brain perk up and immediately think of Sekiro
Thats some good research, really like ur content man and really appreciated it you actually put the source on desc
Thanks for the kind feedback! Much appreciated! :)
Platinum Games could make a wonderful Berserk game if they make it crazy as MGR:R especially its parry mechanic which was wonderful
Thanks for sharing! :)
Even though my gaming hobby has gone on hiatus (being a dad of a 3 year old kid), I’m gladly following your documentaries. You’re doing great services for us From Software fans. Huge thanks!!!
Thanks for the kind feedback! Much appreciated! :) (And I hope you will enjoy as well our upcoming series once the "Making of" videos are complete!)
Awesome. Keep up the good work. Die hard souls fan here.
Thanks for the kind feedback! Much appreciated! :)
great job brother , thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thank you! :)
This series is amazing and of incredible value. Thank you.
My pleasure! Thank you! :)
I forgot to comment after I finished. Watched as soon as it was released. I just wanted to say thank you for giving insight in every video. All game companies need to watch your videos. Not to copy souls, but to see how much love is put into the games and world. Making sure everything works well and not just a money grab.
Thanks for the very kind feedback!
You will overtake vaatividya one day bro.. your videos are so detailed , so well researched and pleasant to hear
Ahahahahahaha I don’t think this is the correct mentality. What a hilarious comment.
Agreed! Let's leave other channels alone :)
amazing stuff man
Thank you! :)
You never disappoint!
Thanks for the kind feedback! Much appreciated! :)
Awesome video once again!!
Thank you! Much appreciated! :)
I appreciate your work for these videos
Thank you! :)
Man... That mecha-fantasy game he says sound soo cool with the current state of FS it would be a GEM. I hope to see somethime something like that scafloune was soo unique for that reason.
I wonder where that big Soul of Cinder fountain is now.
Haha... This is gold :)
Can’t wait to see what ima learn today
Haha..Let's go! :)
Ah hell yea I just noticed this was posted what a perfect start to my Friday 🎉
Haha..let's go! :)
When i first saw the abyss watchers in the trailer, i thought they were the spanish inquisition
Haha.. yeah! :)
dark souls 3 is miyazaki's 4th masterpiece... dark souls 2 is good, to some people its masterpiece game, but remember its not 'hidetaka miyazaki's masterpiece'.
you know the differences
Holy snap i finally got to see souls streamers like peeve and oro!!
These videos are incredible! 👏👏👏
Thank you! :)
Excellent job! Loved this.
Thank you! :)
nice, new vid already!!!
Thank you! :)
it's strange I don't know about you, but I played a lot of video games, and it was only with Dark Souls that I started to be interested in game design, how games are created and who made them
Thank you so much, these are awesome
My pleasure! Thank you! :)
Oh yeaaaah!! Babe new multi hour dark soul’s development documentary dropped
Let's go! :)
1:26:00 talking about maps, my favorite was the sekiro collectors edition map. Thick leather-like material, very authentic looking with parts faded to make it look old. Really nice in a frame
Thanks for sharing! :)
nice cant wait to watch this during my work shift haha
Haha..thank you! :)
thank you for these videos
My pleasure! Thank you! :)
keep up the awesome work brother...
Thank you! :)
Exactly the video I wanted to watch
Haha.. Let's go! :)
I wish more FromSoft Devs would come out to do interviews or just talk and hang out with gamers and talk about their games.
Awesome video as always! Can't wait for the next one.
If I may one nitpick - the audio of some of the trailers, cutscenes etc. is quite a bit louder compared to the parts where you're talking (1:18:50 is a good example of that). If I set the volume so I can hear your voice well, the trailers are then really loud and I have to change volume multiple times during the video.
Thanks for the feedback! I will take note of it for future videos! :)
I'm thinking of inviting my friends for a movie night watching this to see how far their love for me and my interests goes.
Haha... Thanks for sharing! I hope they don't fall asleep! :)
Love this!
Let's go! :)
Excellent video.
Thanks for the kind feedback! Much appreciated! :)
