As many have noted, Miyazaki, the director for Both Demon's Souls and Dark Souls I, will not return to direct DS II.

There have been some interesting discussion about this fact:

1.  There have been some internal power plays at From Soft, and Miyazaki lost. There were a lot of comments by the developers as to the amazement as for the success for such an anti-mainstream title. The rumour is obviously that since a supposedly doomed/unpopular title is suddenly profitable, the people more connected to the top will get the important role attached to it. And this kind of thing is very common in Japan and Asia, so it's not that surprising.

2.  There was an interview that speculated on the possibility of an Easy mode for the DS franchaise. The quote is something similar to - maybe we should make a game with a mode/possibility that EVERYone can complete/finish.

What does that say about DS II? I don't know, but I though that was something interesting to note about the new game.
