What I like most about Elden Ring, is that it makes me feel like I'm inside some kind of mythology, like no other game. Like, the stories we tell about the Greek and Norse and Egyptian gods and heroes. It makes me feel like I'm inside one of those collections of stories/living mythologies, except in a made-up world. The dialogue also contributes to the effect.

[@noodlesushi111]

it's cool that even tho miyazaki is not fully fluent in understanding english he has a certain fascination about how things are pronounced and said by the voice actors. Added note: BIG shoutout to the translators for the games. that shit is NOT EASY.

[@user-zp8kj2cl9g]

Being unable to speak professionally a lenguage isn't equal to not being able to understand it. I can hear the English language perfectly but I struggle when I try to speak it.

[@JoeShufferton]

She said that he's a master of detail. An understatement.

[@RodoMars]

Miyazaki knows English though and he is probably pretty good at it as well, just in written form probably listening too but he doesn't speak it fluently. He can't speak English but he did mentioned that he reads English fictions and that's why the English dialogue is written like this cause he wants it to sound like an ancient story.

[@TEFFTPATTERN]

I’ve always actually wondered about the translations in souls games. Because I don’t know anything about Japanese, I don’t know what style or manner of speaking they do in Japanese, but (similar to Dragons Dogma) the style of English speaking that is used in Souls games is not normal or contemporary English in any sense. They use words that aren’t used anymore, phrases and speaking styles from hundreds of years ago. I always wondered how they not only get it from Japanese to English, but also from English to a mix of older forms of English. I also wonder if they are using medieval Japanese styles of speaking in the Japan version.

[@JoeShufferton]

@@TEFFTPATTERN The Japanese versions of the Souls games are also English voiced. Been that way ever since Demon's Souls, with the only exception being Sekiro.

[@tinius9276]

Honestly, Miyazaki is such an enigma that I think it helps him to cast people in languages he doesn't know. What I infer is that he probably sits on the call and tries to hear the emotional response coming from the voice. The feel of the voice is easier to understand when it is the only part you understand of the speech. The same phenomenon exists in anime, where it almost becomes easier to understand the emotional subtext due to the lack of literal understanding of language.

[@jameslecitron1039]

He definitly knows english though. That’s why he is very peculiar on the texture of each word.

[@TubularBellsRequiem6531]

​@@jameslecitron1039 it was said in the video they needed a translator, so it's safe to assume he doesn't KNOW English, but he understands the emotions and the sounds coming from these words, even if he doesn't understand the words themselves

[@jameslecitron1039]

@@TubularBellsRequiem6531 It’s not because you know the language that you don’t need a translator in a professional context. Miyasaki said multiple times in interview that the cryptic storytelling of his games was based on his experience as a child trying to decipher Western fantasy book written in english. If his english was poor but sufficient to comprehend these novels as a kid, it’s safe to assume he has at least a passable level in english today. But in a professional context, things might get lost in translation and it’s better to call on a professional to communicate. When using a 2nd or 3rd language, needing a translator =/= not understanding the language.

[@TubularBellsRequiem6531]

@jameslecitron1039 that's fair, I never knew that about him as a child, but it makes sense that'd he'd have gained a greater understanding of english based on that. And that bit about translators makes sense too, I never thought of it that way but yes, it makes absolutely sense to have a translator when speaking a second or third language, just to be safe with that language.

[@tinius9276]

@@jameslecitron1039 I might have written my original point quite heavy-handed because I know that Miyazaki has an understanding of the English language. However, I don't think that takes away from the original point. I still think it's sometimes easier to listen to the emotional response of speech through languages that you lack expertise in. Do you disagree or did you just want to add that he can speak and knows English?

People are out there claiming that these games are full of mistranslations that misrepresent the Japanese dialogue/text, and meanwhile Miyazaki is discussing every detail of the English dialogue with the actors...

[@aaronapitius4775]

i think theres a big difference between a mistranslation and a misunderstanding, a word or phrase or even idea can be very different in japanese in the way its contextually used. and often double checking the original japanese just offers some clarity to avoid some of those misunderstanding

[@DatAsianGuy]

@@aaronapitius4775 japanese and english are also simply very different languages and words sometimes don't have an accurate counterpart word in english.

"We'd like you to die!" Yes Miyazaki san! Certainly Miyazaki san!

[@casawi1986]

Finally i had the pleasure to see and hear " Togethaaaaaar " live 😂.

[@onewingedgamer96]

I would love to see Miazaki and Hideo Kojima make a game together.

[@jsb1100]

I love your souls games but sekiro what's a little hard for me sorry. Miyasaki: oh okay we're going to have you play as a character that would come straight out of that game then😂

[@vitaliyred622]

Now we need the actor for the famous “CURSE YOUUUUU BAAAYLEEEE!!!!”. Before him was “TOGETHAAA…” now we have new classics

[@revolversnake126]

the souls games had the best voice acting in gaming since 2009

[@Cactusj4cK185]

Only got into the Soulsborne series late last year (started with Sekiro then Bloodborne DS3 and then Elden Ring) but honestly they are the greatest games ever created, the lore in these is so fascinating to me having to actually listen and indulge into every detail, Miyazaki does not miss man I appreciate him so much for giving me a new found obsession

[@rebeccatodd4364]

Gotta do this for the DLC 🔥

[@avocadopicture]

Millicent has some of my favorite line deliveries across all of the Fromsoft games. Allegra Marland also voiced Sophia in Lies of P and i had no idea.

[@ni55an86]

Imagine that. The greatest game of all time was made by professionals from top to bottom. Take notes Western Gaming Industry.

"The Japanese guy, who's name I'm not even going to try to pronounce his name" 💀 bro are you serious??? 10:20

[@Thats_Awesome]

you should have made them say their favourite line from the game!

@@DanAllenGaming thank you! That was really good! I was clapping my hands everytime they did their lines. Haha they were so good. so glad to see people who specialise in something like this with all their heart.

[@footballmint]

This really does confirm how much detail Miyazaki puts into the creative direction of the games. I doubt any element got past him.

[@monstersarcade473]

I didn't know this fucking guy directed the voice actors as well jesus christ

[@y0udefeated738]

So glad Shaun Dooley is a fan too. Even higher on my list of favourite actors now!

[@timmaxwell2783]

9:00 ptsd from giving boc a larval tear and finding his brain dead twink form in Renalla’s study. It crushed me truly. I loved Boc and I looked forward to seeing him at new sites of grace. I’m so sorry Boc. I didn’t know.

[@jmpnr]

Was also crushed but gotta say “brain dead twink” made me laugh 😂

[@Leeches-]

Miyazaki is one of those rare autistic guys who the world lucked out with and rather than get obsessed with Factorio or collecting snail shells, we instead got a guy who obsessively builds extremely detailed worlds in a style we almost never see outside of From (beautiful but tragic and decaying), and he is so aligned with this one obsession that he doesn't even feel the need to play his own games, and apparently doesn't at all - he just creates them then goes onto the next one.

[@pancakewafflez]

I don’t think he is autistic he seems like a normal human i don’t know why you say that

[@zulazhar1259]

@@pancakewafflez people now see all amazing people in history are autistic as if they're the chosen ones. i dont like it but its their opinion

[@spenceregerton5268]

​@pancakewafflez Hideteka Miyazaki is far from a normal human. He's a legend. Autism made him that way. Autism is not an insult by a long shot. In fact, we get the best work from him as a result. People with autism are extremely intelligent, they just see the world differently.

[@rando843]

@@spenceregerton5268 Okay but is he actually autistic or is it just an assumption, which would 100% make it a weird thing to say

[@RampidWarthogStudios]

Greatest game director of all time

[@CLL21]

I forget the first thing I saw Shaun in but dude is an amazing actor. I loved him in Gentleman Jack. It's awesome to see how big of a Miyazaki fan he is. It's endearing as hell.

[@xTheNameisEthan]

At this point Miyazaki is mythical

Holy shit man. As soon as Simon did the pain noise, I recognized it. Good shit
