Miyazaki's focus on originality and fresh interpretations promises exciting new experiences for fans, even if it means leaving classic titles like King's Field in the past. The anticipation for Shadow of the Erdtree DLC just goes to show how enthralled the community is with Elden Ring's ever-expanding universe.

Miyazaki diving into a traditional JRPG could bring a fresh perspective and some serious FromSoftware flair to the genre. While it's a bummer he won’t revisit old IPs, his unique vision has always led to groundbreaking projects, so I’m stoked to see what he cooks up next.
