He's mentioned that Elden Ring is "closer" to his ideal RPG but not perfect. Elden Ring is just another stepping stone towards his magnum opus, but Dark Souls 1 and Bloodborne were clearly his most inspired work. As you alluded to he became CEO of the company after fulfilling his obligation to Bandai in making the Souls trilogy and seems to have essentially made Elden Ring as an obligation to his company so they can prosper and stand on their own now without Bandai's grip. Even before he became CEO he was trying to build up the talent/secondary director's in the company (Dark Souls 2, for better and objectively worse), so he has always been a team-player even while pursuing his artistic visions (Bloodborne).
