In a very rare move, the lovely people at From Software have done a video touring the studio. With Eiichi Nakajima as our host, he does a whistle stop tour of the office and quickly introduces us to various people around the studio whilst giving an overall take on why they enjoy developing different games from what has gone before. The likes of Toshifumi Nabeshima (pictured above), basically the father of Armored Core, also make a brief appearance. The video is linked below and it’s also subtitled in English, in case you were wondering.

“The most important thing I want a player to experience when playing our games is a sense of achievement.” Well, they’ve been succeeding in that goal for a good long time, and Dark Souls and ACV look prepared to continue the tradition.
