Ever scrolled through gaming forums and stumbled upon a rumor so weird you had to double-check you weren't reading a parody account? Well, it turns out even the legendary Hidetaka Miyazaki—the mastermind behind Dark Souls and Elden Ring—isn't immune to internet nonsense.
In a recent interview, Miyazaki was asked about the persistent rumor that he has a foot fetish. His response? He's 'honestly not sure' where that came from. You can almost picture him shrugging with that signature enigmatic smile.
For those out of the loop, the rumor has been floating around for years, often used as a punchline in Soulsborne memes. But Miyazaki's baffled reaction suggests he's as puzzled by it as we are—or at least, he's playing it perfectly straight.
It's a refreshing reminder that behind the cryptic lore and brutal difficulty, there's a real person who probably just wants to make great games without random internet theories about his personal life.
So, next time you're dying to a boss for the hundredth time, remember: the guy who designed your suffering is just as confused by some things as you are.
What do you think—is this rumor just a weird inside joke, or is there something we're missing? Let us know in the comments!
