“Our approach this time has a charm of its own”

Hidetaka Miyazaki’s level of genius is yet to be matched by any other video game director in today’s time, a feat that can be proven by his track record of delivering nothing but masterpieces like Sekiro to the gaming world in the past decade.

Moreover, this has also often led to fans engaging in a debate arguing which of his franchises reigns supreme of them all, and the answer might just lie in an interview the director gave himself a few years ago.

Before we begin, it should be noted that no particular game made by Hidetaka Miyazaki can be placed on the podium as the best title ever given their different nature and fundamental values along with different world designs, plot lines, and basic intent.

However, while all the franchises, including the likes of Dark Souls, Elden Ring, and even Bloodborne, stick to one main core of FromSoftware, the director in an interview via

revealed how Sekiro stands out from the rest of the IPs.

But the biggest thing that surprised us [during development] was just how much having a fixed protagonist influences the story’s focus. Our previous titles put this focus on the story woven by the world itself, whereas shifting it onto the protagonist allows for a completely different type of storytelling, which I feel was something very fresh and appealing. — I do think our approach this time has a charm of its own.

Miyazaki, in the interview, disclosed how his mindset while making the game relied on crafting a storyline around the main character himself rather than the whole surrounding world, something that’ll help the player relate more and make the game feel more immersive.

Why Sekiro remains one of FromSoftware’s best franchises

The title, based in feudal Japan and released in 2019, remains the best experimental project FromSoftware has done to date. There is not much to say about Sekiro apart from the fact that it was one of the rare times the renowned came up with something that no one could have expected, especially 6 years ago.

While Elden Ring, another masterpiece released in 2022, has broken an unbelievable number of records, Sekiro manages to set itself apart from the dark-themed IPs the studio usually makes and will forever stay in the hearts of hardcore fans as the best game ever.

For those who come looking for a challenge, the game also offers potentially the hardest bosses ever seen in all of FromSoftware history, making it easy to say that Miyazaki thought of everything and included something for every player to enjoy out there when they boot up the game for the first time.
