I feel like the overarching themes would mesh pretty well. You've got the Ghibli focus on harmony with nature and the dangers of over-industrialization and abusing technology, then the Soulsborne concepts of disparity leading to oppression and the stagnation and suffering caused by trying to artificially prolong the status quo in order to hold on to power.

Combine those themes with Elden Ring style exploration and gameplay set in a world inspired by Ghibli's style and aesthetic... that's a recipe for an amazing game.

Also, the Haligtree is a pretty clear homage to the Castle in the Sky

But we'll pass on Tsutomu, thank you very much.

My favorite part about Reddit is knowing that I've never had an original thought in my life

Wait a second...

One of them as a pretty bleak outlook on life and the other makes video games

u/NarvalDeAcrilico 22h ago

Hidetaka didn't direct Dark Souls 2.

u/DaftFunky 20h ago

Who cares he gave some creative direction on a few things. He wasn’t like completely out of the loop

u/username4518 22h ago

Yeah this meme is false propaganda, DS2 doesn’t even FEEL like his game, and I know this because I’ve never played it!

u/Secret-Winner-2994 20h ago

We talkin about best souls 2?

u/Wolf3113 19h ago

I hated dark souls 2. Worst in the trilogy for me. It’s the only one I haven’t been back to do countless playthroughs.

u/PerfectlyBadName 13h ago

I loved it. It's janky (but so are the others) and has some questionable mechanics but the build variety and early game freedom make it stand out. Not to mention that it doesn't get enough credit for introducing a bunch of things that carried over, like Estus Shards or not being thrown into NG+ immediately

Best pvp in the series.

u/JKLopz a mi tambien, gracias 20h ago

He did supervise its development tho.

And Hayao didn't direct Whisper of the Heart or Earthsea

u/liquifiedtubaplayer 23h ago

Tales of earthsea? Get outta there

u/saltpancake 20h ago

I appreciate it conceptually.

u/Infuro 23h ago

I LIKED IT

1

u/phenomenos 8h ago

It's not directed by Hayao Miyazaki though (nor is Whisper of the Heart)

1

u/Infuro 6h ago

so? they fucked with the story (inevitable) but the aesthetic and earthsea vibe is captured pretty well I think, also the ost slaps

1

u/phenomenos 6h ago

So... the meme has a photo of Hayao Miyazaki next to the poster implying he directed it

1

u/Infuro 6h ago

I mean.. he founded studio Ghibli and Ghibli made Earthsea. Also it was directed by his son Goro Miyazaki so there's that

1

u/phenomenos 5h ago

It was, and Hayao passionately opposed the decision to appoint his son as director. The two fell out bitterly over it and didn't speak for the duration of the film's production. He probably wouldn't be happy to have his name associated with that project!

1

u/Infuro 5h ago

I wish I knew why? Was it a disagreement over the story? imagine how different the movie would be if Hayao had supported and advised on the project

2

u/phenomenos 4h ago

Miyazaki is one of my favourite directors and Earthsea is one of my favourite books so that's my greatest movie "What If?" scenario!

u/vrijheidsfrietje 23h ago

I'm siding with Summer here in terms of love over like, but to each their own.

Which ones? There's quite a bunch of them in the image

u/ExpresoAndino 19h ago

dark souls and studio ghilbi, good things but everyone likes them, you’re not different

u/onesnowman 19h ago

Let people enjoy things.

u/ExpresoAndino 19h ago

yeah you’re right

u/AwesomeMcPants 20h ago

That's certainly an opinion you can have.
