It ' s the only game in the series that Miyazaki didn ' t direct , and so a lot of people get all puritanical about it . Having said that , the lore is pretty lackluster , and many of the bosses and areas feel random and unconnected . I think the absence of M ' s creative direction is probably a big part of that . To me it always felt more geared toward PvP than all of the other games , which is fine , but personally not my bag . It ' s a fun game , but like DS 3 it feels kind of perfunctory . The nonsequels all have a story to tell and new , inspired things to show . The sequels seem more like well , we gotta have another game , so . <| sep |> It will all be taken care ofBut yeah those are good questions .
