    (Timestamps in the Description) Thanks for watching! If you enjoyed the video, please consider subscribing.

    These documentaries are one of a kind for FromSoft fans. We’ve never had such a comprehensive exploration of the development of these games with so much detail. I appreciate the hard work you’ve put in, Netflix needs to offer you a deal!
  • @samuelmoore6340
    Miyazaki is a gift to the world of games. I love the way he thinks, how he approaches design and creation.
  • @howtoavenge1016
    my cousin introduced me to sekiro, as he thought i’d be good at it. i was already familiar with the souls games, but ive never gotten very far with them, fun as they were. Sekiro was the first game where things started to click. It was the first fromsoft game i beat. Then i went back to all the other games I owned and beat them too (except for elden ring.) Im grateful for sekiro’s existence, and it has made me a diehard fromsoft fan.

    Hey man this is lord of the rings movie length, this is going to take 1 big pop-corn, 2 pringles, One large fries and one Big Mac. Need some prep-time!!!😊😊😊😊
  • @protomega79xz77
    The Tenchu references are so fundamentaly important to Sekiro. Thanks for documenting that, I was obsessed by that game during the Ps1 era.
  • @lahunica2726
    Sekiro was the first game to be initiated by Miyazaki when he became CEO of the company, leading From Software into an ungoing era of new projects that both differenciate themselves and take inspirations from previous games. On that alone I love Sekiro.
  • @TheMrLeoniasty
    Yeah ! You're like a machine gun with these videos! how is it even possible to put out so much great long form content so consistnently ?
  • @zippinzeppelin
    dude your content quality was over the top since the first video but it just keeps getting better and better
  • @Rubi1007
    Thank you so much for these. These have been a godsend while I’m recovering from a bad injury. You’re really leaving a mark on the souls side of YouTube. Your research is so incredibly thorough and presented in such a digestible manner. Good job dude, seriously
  • The pure passion to produce such content is beyond mosts comprehension. This YouTuber truly delivers! Nowhere else on YouTube do we have this amount of documentation and information regarding our beloved games from FROMSOFT. If there was legitimate YouTube awards I would vote or give you one. 🏆🙌🏾👌🏾🙏🏾
  • @ekan247
    The mammoth effort you go into to make these is so appreciated
  • @MsJohnnyMetal
    I just got this game as a birthday gift from my friend. I'm in loving with it, Sekiro ia a masterpiece.
  • @xJoeyScoops
    This entire Playlist deserves so much more love, i watched all of them over the last 2 days at work and it was a joy hearing all this information. The videos are so well put together, huge props for all the time you put into these
  • @davidchong5909
    This channel is like old school gamer guides that walk you through a game but it dives much deeper and provides a more comprehensive view of the game's development, history, and impact. Keep doing what you do. You are a king in a league of your own compiling these interviews and the research that goes into each video you make. I'm sure Miyazaki watches these and views it as a love letter from his fans to his team and all the work that went into making these beautiful, masterful games.
  • @SaintKines
    The best sword fighting in any game ever in my opinion. I don't know how this style hasn't been cannibalized to death by now. I know it wasn't unheard of before and I know that games like Stars Wars recently have used similar ideas but I expected it to be everywhere with new spins. It's so well done and engaging. This doesn't even begin to touch on everything else that makes the game a masterpiece.
  • @swagwolfgang
    On the easy difficulty thing everytime i died in this game i never blamed the game i was fully aware it was my fault and SIKE sekiro already has an easy mode its called “no demon bell/keep kuros charm”
  • @alnorris251
    I didnt realize its actually a 4 hours documentary until i finished. Hats off to you putting all these together!!
  • @caskanteron
    Quality content as always, and just before having to drive to another state. Your timing could not have been better. Keep up the good work!
