About Hidetaka Miyazaki
Hidetaka Miyazaki is a Japanese video game director, designer, writer, and president of the game developer FromSoftware. He joined the company in 2004 and was a designer for the Armored Core series before receiving wider recognition for creating the Dark Souls series. Miyazaki was promoted to company president in 2014 and also serves as its representative director. Other similar games he has directed include Demon's Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden Ring. Miyazaki was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2018 Golden Joystick Awards. Upon learning about what later became Demon's Souls, Miyazaki became excited at the prospect of a fantasy action role-playing game and offered to help. Once exposed to video games, Miyazaki became a fan of Ico, the early Dragon Quest games, The Legend of Zelda, and the King's Field series, all of which he cited as influences. As Miyazaki was unable to give his thanks before they left the area, he wondered whether the last person in the line had made it to their destination as he was unlikely to ever meet them again.
