A Conversation with Hidetaka Miyazaki on the Soul of Soulslike Games

Hidetaka Miyazaki sat down at FromSoftware's Tokyo headquarters to trace the origins of Demon's Souls, Dark Souls and Bloodborne, stressing that he does not consider himself the inventor of the Soulslike genre. He said the Souls system was not a wholly new invention but a fit between FromSoftware's DNA and latent player demand, and called Bloodborne the work that best reflects his personal style.
