Top Comments of this video!! :3
Dark souls 2 saved my life. I was in a sober living home and could feel myself slipping back so i went and bought an old 360 and got dark souls 2 because it looked cool. And i become obsessed with it. I started taking my recovery more seriously and i started buying all of fromsofts games and i have 4 years clean now.. i can honestly say miyazaki saved my life

One aspect that doesn't get discussed enough is how FromSoft's success isn't an overnight thing, but purely years and years of iterative design.
From the King Fields, Armored Cores, Otogi, Evergrace, and Souls, each one of them is just years and years of iterating on those same ideas and moving the needle just enough to make it feel fresh, and Elden Ring feels like a perfect culmination of those 36 years of existence.

I was working at GameStop when Demon’s Souls came out. We didn’t get many copies at first, but slowly over the next several weeks more and more people came in asking for it and we kept getting more and more copies due to demand. That natural word of mouth growth was something that rarely ever happened

This guy's channel made me want to try my hand at video essays back in 2019 (didn't work out) and my first idea was making a piece about FromSoft's design and the impact of it. Years later, this video is easily the best thing I've ever found in my sub feed.
This truly is the Elden Ring of The Dark Souls of FromSoft Video Essays.

Seeing this man is like reading Game Informer or Gamepro as a kid, and being immersed in playing a good ps1,N64 or Dreamcast game. Or reading a classic manga that wasn’t popular but was well known. A wholesome, informative, funny, and well crafted tv show or movie. It’s a heart warming feeling that gets rarer as time goes by.

the lack of Sekiro mention is slander. It reinvented their formula combat wise, and it also brings back the interconnected concept of DS1. Also, the fact that you can come back to areas like Ashina Castle and they completely change throughout the story is SO COOL. New enemies, new pathways unlocked in an area you’ve already explored, etc like idk man. Sekiro is FromSoft’s In Rainbows to me more so than Elden Ring ever could be

33:00 the game design problem with this approach is that it basically means you can fully upgrade like 2 weapons and basically never have to look for upgrade materials ever again, which is obviously not what they wanted. One way to get sort of around this would be to only give you half of your upgrade resources back from your old weapon, but that's more like putting on a bandage than actually solving this design issue.

That shortcut elevator in DS1 is top tier game design, the feeling of being utterly lost, fighting knights on your last estus, running away trying not to get killed until you see THAT elevator. Going down that shortcut and seeing the firelink shrine made a click in me, that was the moment that I realized I was not playing your average video game no, this is somethin else.
