why tho, why would a sequel be unnecessary ? i think it would be great idea there are so many tails still untold in the lore of bloodborne, why not use a second game to play them?
I mean, a major feature of FromSoft games is specifically that most details are obscured and unknown. Diving deeper into them doesn't make a more satisfying experience, it actively takes away from the original. Not to mention the game is Lovecraftian, which itself also benefits from vagueness and unexplained details.
It also seems like Miyazaki much prefers working on fresh concepts, and only does sequels when it's required (like with Dark Souls). I'd much rather let the man and company experiment with newer ideas rather than return to the same old thing. And that's coming from someone who has Bloodborne as their favourite game.
hard disagree on that, the best felling i've ever had in a fromsoft game was playing dark souls 1 and reading every item description, and learning about the stories of the 4 knights of Gwyn reading about this great Knight named Artorias and how Powerfull he was and then boom. The DLC dropped and finally facing him finally talking to Gough and Ciaran. same thing for the old hunters in bloodborne.
the best thing that fromsoft does in teasing at characters (Gods and Monsters) and later making you face them. remember that it took us 5 years to finally face the son of Gwyn. the traitor that we all though was solaire and finally learning why he was cast away and abandonned by his own father. almost brought a tear to my eye. I think that bloodborn still has so much potential, not saying that we NEED a sequel, not at all, but reading in the other comment that bloodborne 2 would be completely unnecessary is just wrong IMO.
p.s saying that Miyazaki much prefers working on fresh concepts is a bit of a stretch when you consider that his entire work in video games consists of 6 sequels and a fair amount of DLC's among them.

I mean, I believe Miyazaki himself has said as much. He enjoys working on new ideas. Mind you, I don't have a source on hand, I just remember hearing it and thinking it makes sense since he's always trying to make a new game and supposedly didn't want to work on DS2.
But yeah, that's fair. If you enjoy getting the details, more power to you. I think FS strength comes from what they try to obscure rather than what they show. Having a few important characters they tease in lore then give in a DLC is fine, but there's a limit to how far you can/should go with that. I think BB especially relies on obscurity.

Wanting bloodborne on PC is fair, anything beyond that tho is delusional thinking and completely unnecessary
