>Miyazaki describes himself as a difficult child. “Unlike most kids in Japan, I didn’t have a dream,” he says. “I wasn’t ambitious.” He eventually found himself aimlessly pursuing a degree in social science at the well-respected Keio University. As he approached graduation, he considered applying to a game development studio, but drifted into a job at the US IT company Oracle Corporation.
>Several years later, he started thinking about video games again. He met up with some former college friends who suggested new titles to play. One was Ico, a mystical fairytale in which players assume the role of a boy who must lead a waif-like girl by the hand along a castle’s craggy ramparts, pursued by their ghoulish captors. “That game awoke me to the possibilities of the medium,” says Miyazaki. “I wanted to make one myself.”
>But Miyazaki had a problem: at 29, he was too old to apply for graduate positions and too inexperienced for anything else. “Not a lot of places would take me,” he says. “From Software was one of the few.” Ema Kodaka, who edits Miyazaki’s scripts, believes this career change, which resulted in a considerable drop in pay, might be why he is held in such regard by his staff. “He is a unique talent,” she says. “In Japan, even today, people usually join a company as a graduate and stay for life. For Miyazaki to change career and, within 10 years, become company president – that’s unprecedented in Japan. It’s inspiring.”
Why haven't you made that video game yet, /v/?

Cause I'm not Miyazaki

Because I can't make a solid narrative if my life depended on it.
It'd be like the worst aspects of Kojima and Nomura.

fucking lol, its just vague ideals that fans argue over their meaning copypasted onto a third person action game that borrows heavily from King's Field

that explains why there's no happy endings on big M games

But the Souls games do have solid narratives. Good themes too, though DSII is a tad less coherent in the themes department it's certainly intriguing.

Because I've spent too much time training for a practical career and thus have no related skills.

that's because das2 was a badly made fanfic.

Friendly reminder that Gehrman fucked Kos. Maria caught him on the shore with his hunter garb at his knees, sand on his saggy ass cheeks.

>thinking this
I don't ever see any evidence for there "being no story" in the souls games. Obviously it's obtuse and spread out through multiple pieces like a puzzle, but nobody ever explains how it "doesn't have a story". Do you just say this to make people upset or sound cool? I get the feeling that you've never played kings field either and just sort of parrot what other anons have said before, but I could be wrong.

Man, Japan's conveyor belt system of getting fresh grads sucks. Really does limit job mobility.

I'm working on it.

apparently the work hours are insane and they expect you to work for crazy long hours, some people say that lots of jap companies have employees that work for long hours even on weekends but they get very little done

Sounds like if you work there you cant leave and apply wherever you want as they won't trust you.
Literally wageslaves, imagine all the poor fucks trapped in shitty companys.

At least they don't mind if you sleep on the job, since you're expected to work yourself to the point of exhaustion anyway

I am curious to see if he is afraid of moving on from Souls. If he decides to lead an Armored Core project again, will he hope Souls fans will crossover? Will he try to force the online mechanics into another series like other developers have tried in their games but failed?
Whatever it is, I think Souls games deserve a rest for now, I don't want another Dark Souls 2 and having a similar game but in a different setting is fine but still feels too soon.

>>323120616
I'd rather have a new IP that is slightly souls inspired but manages to be its own thing.
