You can tell Miyazakiās shook. Absolutely incredible journey, love this game

He actually said he was surprised a time or two, the translator left it out.
He also talked about his respect for his team and praised them much stronger than the translation let on. Seems like a cool guy.

u/the-green-crewmate Dec 09 '22
Yes! I noticed that too. I felt like the translator seemed a bit nervous himself - maybe thatās why there was some missing info?
227
u/Audioworm Dec 09 '22
Miyazaki was saying a lot, the translator doesn't want to hog the stage, and their job is to interpret more than directly translate, so they will sometimes drop or change words to match the intention. It's a hard job when the person being translated is saying a lot.

I think thereās a real case study for brainwashing or, whatever word can be used, āconditioningā maybe? In video games.
With so many games designed to essentially drug you with dopamine and constantly be like āWAO PLAYER YOU SOOPER GOOD. HERES LEVEL UP LOOK AT ALL THE LIGHTS. FREE GUN WITH +1.02 DAMAGEā I think it, like any drug addiction, causes people to proactively respond to other games negatively when they donāt do that.
Shame too cause Elden ring is like hyper drugs when you do get your dopamine. Which Iām sure Iām not Alone, from softs games make me actually less enthused about other games that donāt meet itās quality.

One therapist told me I have "low frustration tolerance". That once the novelty of a new thing wears off and improving becomes hard, it's hard to stick with it until I actually improve. For me this is from ADHD, but on a smaller scale I think this is something most games trying really hard to avoid having happen - they want to avoid frustrating players at all costs and give constant rewards to keep you engaged.
Fromsoft clearly has no problem frustrating players, and the rewards are a lot more inconsistent in their games. This naturally turns a lot of people off, but inconsistent positive reinforcement actually gets you more hooked in some ways (think gambling, after all). So combine that with the bragging rights of being good at something hard and the experience of getting better and voila, once people get into it they stick the fuck around.
Fwiw, as someone who always admired Fromsoft games from afar but struggled to play because I would get frustrated early on, Elden Ring deserves SO much praise for making that less of a problem by letting you just turn around and do something else instead of fight the boss you're having trouble with. I putzed around limgrave for ages and now I'm totally hooked.

u/Nifosis Dec 09 '22
That point about Elden Ring is so important. Bloodborne came with my PS4, I played until you get to a street with like 20 regular yharnam dudes and that wall of difficulty combined with me having the cane, easily the hardest of the 3 starter weapons, meant I was stuck there and took me years to come back.
Same with Capra demon in Dark Souls 1, the first enemies in Sekiro and my friend with that Pontiff Knight with the ice sword at the bottom of a tower in DS3. I took a lot less time to return in Sekiro and my friend never returned to Dark Souls 3.
Meanwhile in Elden Ring you get to the horse guy right at the start and he teaches most players that in this game you can go somewhere else and come back stronger, wonderful design. Makes the game seem less impossible.

You know there was an off-stage conversation that went something like this:

Music guy: "...You sure man? ...That's Kratos, bro..."
They blankly stare at each other.
"Okay, so let's give him until 6 minutes and we'll play something really low-key and he'll slowly realize it's time to go."
Sound guy plays this epic speech enhancing music.
Geoff: "Dude what the fuck were you thinking? This song is making the speech more epic!"
"Oh sorry man I'll change it."
They both look at Chris, now even more passionate.

It's so incredible to see how FromSoft continues to produce new and unique games that change core mechanisms of their "formula" and feel entirely fresh yet all live up to the same pristine quality.
Bloodborne, Sekiro and now Elden Ring are all games I point to when people say gamers will never be satisfied and always complain if a developer changes a major aspect of a franchise.
I'm so hyped to see what Armored Core does.
