Its success began a series of Souls games starting with Dark Souls in 2011, and in turn the soulslike genre. The game was praised for its difficult combat and addictive gameplay, subsequently winning several awards.

This aspect proved demanding for Miyazaki, partly because of his fear that Sony would ask the team to lower the difficulty in order to make the game more accessible.Īnnounced in 2008, early reactions to the Demon's Souls demo were seen as negative, and the game's high difficulty prompted Sony to pass on publishing the game outside of Japan. The game's difficulty was intended to both evoke classic video games and provide a sense of challenge and accomplishment for players. Despite such issues, FromSoftware designer Hidetaka Miyazaki was able to take over the project and helped to turn the game into what it eventually became. The game's early development was troubled due to a lack of coherent vision. Online multiplayer allows both player cooperation and world invasions featuring player versus player combat.
Gameplay has players navigating five different worlds from a hub called the Nexus, with a heavy emphasis on challenging combat and mechanics surrounding player death and respawning.

Indeed, the FF 16 trailer no longer includes any small print that indicates another platform besides the PS5. However, since those trailers went live any mention of a PC release for both Final Fantasy 16 and Demon’s Souls appear to have been mysteriously scrubbed.
