[QUOTE="Admin, post: 63776, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/elden-ring']Elden Ring[/URL] creator and FromSoftware boss Hidetaka Miyazaki appears to have very high standards, saying the beloved role-playing game isn't quite the "ideal fantasy RPG" despite its universal acclaim. Speaking to [URL='https://www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/im-still-in-the-process-of-making-my-ideal-fantasy-rpg-says-fromsoftwares-hidetaka-miyazaki-while-elden-ring-is-not-quite-it-its-getting-close/']PC Gamer[/URL], Miyazaki said that Elden Ring — dubbed a masterpiece by IGN and countless others — is just one step on his path towards his ideal game, with the likes of [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/demons-souls-review-2']Demon's Souls[/URL], [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/2011/09/30/dark-souls-review']the Dark Souls trilogy[/URL], [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/2015/03/24/bloodborne-review']Bloodborne[/URL], and [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/03/21/sekiro-shadows-die-twice-review']Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice[/URL] all acting as predecessors too. "Back when doing interviews about Elden Ring, I think I mentioned that I'm still in the process of making my ideal fantasy RPG," Miyazaki said. "While Elden Ring is not quite it, it's pretty close. It's getting close." This likely comes as welcome news to fans of the soulslike genre created by Miyazaki and FromSoftware, who seemingly have games even better than Elden Ring to look forward to in the future. While Elden Ring is not quite it, it's pretty close. It's getting close. Miyazaki didn't share what elements were missing from Elden Ring, because "it's hard to say without giving spoilers for [his] next idea or [FromSoftware's] next games," but did say the slightly tragic reality that he never gets to experience the wonder of his own games is one thing holding him back. "I think one thing that's not necessarily missing, but makes it difficult to achieve my ideal, is that when I play it, I know everything's going to happen," Miyazaki said. "I already know everything that's going on. So in terms of enjoying the game from a player's perspective, I'd love to not know that, and for somebody else to make my ideal fantasy game, please, if possible. Then I can enjoy it just as a player." Players will get to experience that feeling once again when Elden Ring's [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/elden-ring-shadow-of-the-erdtree']Shadow of the Erdtree[/URL] expansion launches on June 21, 2024.
