Ex-Tekken boss: Miyazaki's FromSoftware career is remarkable but underappreciated

Former Tekken director Katsuhiro Harada called Hidetaka Miyazaki a "unique, yet extremely serious" game creator and described his career as remarkable but not fully appreciated. Harada highlighted Miyazaki's late start in games (age 29 after discovering Ico), FromSoftware hiring him despite limited experience, and his rise from Armored Core work to directing Demon's Souls and Dark Souls. Harada argued attention often focuses on Souls' breakout sales rather than the gradual development of the team behind them.

• Harada praises Miyazaki as a unique, serious developer
• Miyazaki entered games late (age 29) after seeing Ico
• FromSoftware hired him; he moved from Armored Core to Demon's/Dark Souls
• Harada says the studio's gradual growth is under-evaluated compared to Souls' sales
