    In my opinion I honestly believe that Miyazaki is the one of greatest artist of the modern age. The souls games genuinely feel like beautiful art to me and I know I’m not the only one. He has the mind of some of the greatest artists in history. When I learned Miyazakis story though your videos it inspired me. The fact that he flipped his entire life around at 30 years old makes me also want to pursue my dreams. Its never to late.

    • @dondonrv
      @dondonrv  11 місяців тому +47

      We share the same view. He is like the Cervantes or Milton of our times. I believe he is a living genius :) And his passion for creating games is unequaled.

      ​​​@@dondonrvEspecially with Elden Ring imo. It's hard to describe the feelings that it gave me. Such a beautiful world, with the erdtree towering over everything. I think the best way to describe it is magical. Unlike the souls world, in Elden Ring the world isn't dying yet. I feel as if i'm at the end of the age of myths with the demi-gods still being around but decayed like Radahn Malenia, Rennala, Rykard, Godrick, etc. Miyazaki has made several masterpieces like Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Dark Souls 3, and Armored Core 6. He is a true artist and his team at FS truly love what they do which is truly rare in modern day Triple AAA+ video game industry.

    I really love how they kept the cosmic horror secret from all the trailers n such as far as I know. I remember when the blood moon lowers and you start seeing the eldritch-esque entities for the first time and the story starts to deepen far beyond what you had expected. I all but literally soiled myself.

    I lived in Tokyo through 2014-2016 and the excitement I saw and promotional material for Bloodborne was insane. Everyone was so excited for the game and as someone who never played a FS game before that point I didn't understand why it was so exciting. From the demos I saw in stores though the aesthetics and environments was strikingly horrifying yet intriguing. I never forgot what I saw and I'm excited to be playing it now for the first time on my PS5. The game is whopping my ass way more than Dark Souls 1 did lol!

      It's my first fromsoft title too I regretted buying it when cleric beast kept kicking my ass, I dropped it and never touched it for like 3 weeks. One day I'm recommended a vaati video about bloodborne, I watched 3 minutes and stopped the video to avoid spoilers. Those 3 minutes of vaati's video saved me from missing out on what is now my favorite game of all time and my favorite fictional universe.

    I really respect Miyazaki a lot. In an industry that heaps praise on the director alone, Miyazaki makes it a point to always name drop members of the team or department that pulled off something incredible. And based on how he talks about focusing on a healthy work environment, he seems like a great boss that actually gets it. He’s not just a good director, he seems like a really good person.

    Another of the main inspiriations of bloodborne thats part of the victorian era is all the medical references. Bloodborne makes many references to victorian medical colleges and anatomy and it is a major part of the lore. There is a series on youtube called bloodbornes medical metaphor an agony of effort that goes into this in more depth.

    I complained in the past about the moving background of the presentation slides, and it felt very gratifying to see you'd moved on from them in your recent videos. I like to read along to your narration, it makes it easier to get all the information in one viewing, and it's helpful considering how nebulous Miyazaki can be. Very high quality documentary over all. It'll be a while yet but ooooh boy. Good luck on the Elden Ring video. I'm really looking forward to all your contributions. I've picked up Berserk simply so your video on its inspirations wouldn't spoil me the story. You're doing a ton of good for the fandom, thank you for all your hard work!

      @@dondonrv There's an absolutely outstanding series, delving into the historical inspirations for Bloodborne, made by a guy called Charred Thermos, but for some reason his channel was deleted. Thankfully someone has since re-uploaded it, with only a couple videos missing. It's very long, but I HIGHLY recommend watching the entire series asap as there's some of the most incredible insight to be gained and it might get removed again.
      Just search for: "An Agony of Effort, The True Story of Bloodborne".
      It explores the thematic inspiration of Edinburgh's dark medical history, particularly regarding autopsies (theorised to be the origin of having "eyes on the inside") and the pursuit of insight at the cost of one's humanity (i.e becoming beasts).

    Miyazaki is up there as one of the greatest storytellers of modern time. No game developer has utilized the medium of gaming for storytelling better than fromsoft. Only a video game could explain its lore through items that you found throughout the world, a choice you consciously make. The same way Tolkien and GRRM made a whole world with religions, war, languages and a rich history, Miyazaki does the same in the medium of gaming.
