Hidetaka Miyazaki has been in the gaming industry long enough to be called a legend already, as his work has been nothing but phenomenal over the last few years. He is also the president of FromSoftware studios and is the mastermind behind some of the best dark fantasy games released into the industry, including theDark Soulsseries and his latest title,Elden Ring.One of his most renowned creations isSekiro: Shadows Die Twice, a game that fans are now alleging has been copied by the recentRise of the Roninby Team Ninja studios. While fans might not be particularly happy over the similarities between the two games, Miyazaki has revealed in a past interview what he thinks about other games copying mechanics from his own viaDualshockers.
Hidetaka Miyazaki Reveals His Thoughts on Other Games Copying Mechanics From FromSoftware Releases
In the interview mentioned before,Hidetaka Miyazakiwas asked about his opinions on games likeNi-Oh(a past title from the same studio as Rise of the Ronin). What he stated next shows nothing but the humble nature of the renowned director, as he mentioned-
“It’s difficult to answer this, but even if the same mechanics get implemented in other games by other publisher of developers, it still gives us (FromSoftware) good clues, because they have been implemented based on a different perspective. This gives us clues on how we can approach other titles that we will be working on in the future, so it’s a good thing. But just to clarify, I never thought that other games copied our titles.”

Miyazaki revealed how it helps the studio instead when other games decide to imitate mechanics from the games FromSoftware has released. He disclosed how it allows him to look at those elements and mechanics from a different perspective from before, allowing him to have a better idea of how to revisit them for future titles they would be producing.
While the game might be getting accused of copying Miyazaki’s title,Rise of the Roninstill manages to offer a unique redeeming featurethat has been rarely seen before in the open-world genre.
HowRise of the RoninOffers A New Feature That Is Welcomed Warmly By Open-World Gamers
What the latest release by Team Ninja manages differently than other traditional open-world games is how it offers the choice for the players to go back and choose different actions than what they previously chose. This essentially means how one can determine what conclusion they get in the end by going back to the missions they might have attempted earlier.
To unlock this particular feature, the player will need to reach the City of Edo as a basic requirement. This will help unlock the Testaments of Soul feature which in turn allows you to replay missions that have been already completed, permitting you to take actions not taken before, as discussed.
