Apparently it's being made by the team that made King's Field.
Sony are publishing AND Producing the game, and apparently the Sony producer really like King's Field (though he had his criticisms) and the director of the King's Field basically considers this game to be the "new" King's Field, and he's working heavily with the producer to make it the best game he can.
Some stuff from NeoGAF:
There are two people being interviewed. The Sony producer and the From Software director. It's the producer who is a fan of King's Field, so he asked the director when they (From) will be making another RPG.
Some more info:
- They are calling it "strategic action RPG". It's not going to be about the player's reflexes - they say you can't down an enemy by just swinging a weapon at it repeatedly. It will require thinking and strategy.
- They treat it as "the new" King's Field.
- The Sony producer being a fan of King's Field, also had a list of criticisms for it and voiced them. Director is pleased with having different feedback outside of From's walls.
- User created avatar - choose hair, eyes, face, etc.
- As an example of game design, they pointed out that it's ridiculous that you can find treasure chests just sitting around. So now treasures are only found from the remains of fallen adventurers.
