Lead translator Ryan Morris, from localization studio Frognation, is a name you might not have heard before but his fingerprints can be seen in the translated versions of almost every beloved Soulsborne game - Demon’s Souls, the Dark Souls trilogy, Bloodborne,Elden Ring, Armored Core 6, and even the Demon’s Souls remake.
“With FromSoftware games, there’s this idea of not telling the whole story in linear fashion, or telling you every factual detail about the world. I feel like the lore probably only exists in Miyazaki’s imagination - I don’t think it’s written down in a canon for reference,” Morris laughs, though there’s a nugget of truth in there - Fromsoft’s torn worlds have lost history, conflicting records, and knowledge that’ll never be the player’s to obtain.
