They have a unique and interesting style of storytelling that actually isn't so hard to understand nor to follow. It's also not non-existent. It's just, as you paraphrased, that the moment to moment gameplay works against that. You're more busy with surviving, battling normal foes and bosses the hundredth time, spending hours just to get an item that explains three more sentences about the lore and story and what the actual fuck happened in this world.

Not having everything spelled out for the player and let them explore the story in the same way they explore the world is quite extraordinary and rare in a medium that – still having issues with telling complex and mature stories with sensible themes – constantly questions the player's intelligence and champions their inadequateness.

I'd love to see that kind of storytelling in more accessible games than those FromSoftware make.

There has never been a video game with a good story, only passable stories.

ok in hindsight I did forget about Metal Gear.

You got that with Sekiro.

Yes this was their best story driven game. I actually understood what was going on. I get people like reading a million items to try and piece it together but I hate it. Luckily I don't play these games for the story. The combat/exploration is more than enough for me.

All of their games have a great story but most people say that the story is non existent because the main focus of the game is the difficulty and exploration

Find a hard boss and die enough times until you find a solution

If they could do a witcher 3 style game with alot of cinematics and choices it would be a huge success because of the complex stories and characters FromSoftware can make

I mean technically Sekiro fits, it is more story driven than their other games.
Personally Id rather they make a Armored Core with a greater focus on story. Keep all the customisation and general mech gameplay but actually have a hub, a real player character, npc’s etc. Would love to explore a detailed post apoc landscape, scavenge for parts etc. Nobody is gonna convince me this wasnt the original intention for AC6 where the key art was literally a rundown mech carrying scavenged parts etc.

If you want to see what else FromSoftware (helmed by Hidetaka Miyazaki) post-Dark Souls fame can do with a title that’s not yet another Soulslike, you can play or watch a playthrough of the often-forgotten Déraciné: a weird VR experiment, made by Miyazaki in 2019 and it has no combat:

Nah. They make Lore™ for horrible youtubers to recount in bloated videos for their parasocial followers. I wouldn't trust them with actual storytelling.
