Most of the actual lore is not in the game, but in their heads. The little that goes in the game is through scattered information and the rest is up to our interpretation. "I tell worlds, not stories".

  • Sorry for the delay on this one, I was pretty sick for a week there. Feeling better now though! Would also like to make a slight correction on the point at 6:48 - the English says a "malicious force" left behind the Northern Regalia, but the Japanese translation more accurately posits that it was left behind "due to malice", the implication being that man might have favoured a sword that scales with their good or evil.

And the statue on the chaotic side is a sad woman as if Miyazaki is saying chaos is sad while the lawful side features someone righteous looking.

  • When my Crest fallen warrior died in my hub I actually cried a little.. I would talk to him after every successful mission to update him because he was the first npc I had met. Then, he stopped wanting to talk to me, which I thought was strange but didn't pay too much attention to. After my next successful mission.. He'd passed and dropped his storied hero soul. I stood there staring at it for 10 minutes.. Gave a bow emote, collected it and put it into my storage. I am now NG+7 and even though he respawns, I have kept his soul in my storage since my first playthrough. I have also never talked to him again because I don't want him to disappear. If that doesn't show the type of impact an npc has on a player in a souls series, idk what will. Only today have I found out his name is just "Crest fallen knight" because I have never talked to him since that day. Man I love this game.

  • Amazing work as always, Vaati. Words can not describe how bad I wish to play this beloved, and not to mention, beautifully remade version of a nostalgic masterpiece, but I do not see me owning a PS5 for a long time. Sadly, it's not coming to PC either. But rewatching this now as we speak, and seeing how gorgeous everything looks, and peeking deeper into lore with you, it really makes you fall in love with it all, all over again. Thank you, and Happy holidays.

  • I am so excited for these videos. I was heavy into Demons Souls back in the day, but the lore was never dived into by the community, not this deeply and cohesively anyways. This is what I desired so strongly back then. I never cared about Darks Souls, never really even got into it after the first one, but I love love love Demons Souls. Can't wait for these videos. Can't wait to play it some day.

    • From what I gather most of the Demons are just creatures so I figure if they lose their souls they become soul-starved like humans do and would just be like animals. Now what about Demon's that used to be humans like the Tower Knight? Maybe draining him of souls would cause him to revert back to human perhaps.

    • To say that there is such a thing as the answer to the whole franchise is quite an assumption. I wish there was one, but there isn't. Just look at DS 3's development. Things being cut or shuffled around at the last moment. It really doesn't go as deep as we'd like. Besides, looking at say, DS 1, there isn't much to answer. The story is pretty much self-contained, with a few murky spots to keep the intrigue.

      @nikitas1841@nikitas18413 жыл бұрын
    • @@nikitas1841 it is quite an assumption. Also, this will be a long post so brace yourself. Also, DS 1 has the most mystery surrounding it. There are too many things that are needed to be answered. The appearance of the Serpents, Manus and Oolacile, the Fall of Izalith, the Abandoned Anor Londo, Nito and Pinwheel, the Conspiracy of Rebellion, Havel and his Knights, Ash Lake and the Last Scaled Dragon, Seathe and the Firekeepers, and finally, the Dark Ending with numerous Serpents. These topics are not just intriguing but integral to the story of the whole franchise. Demon Souls is the answer, for me, because there are too many correlating evidences between universes. Let me give you one answer that I finally realized. Fog Gates. They had been always seen before fighting powerful beings. It has been an assumption that all of it are generated when you are fighting a boss. I had made 2 Hypothesis. Hypothesis 1: Fog Gates are not actually there because powerful beings are behind it. It is actually formed around beings with significant destiny. The ones that can change the Fate of the World. Exhibit A. The Moonlight Butterfly It is integral to the Witch Questline. You will never see the summon sign in New Londo if you didn't kill the Butterfly. Even if you kill the Four Kings, the Witch's set won't be seen on the cliff unless you kill the Butterfly. Exhibit B. The Capra Demon The demon is an anomaly to the lower city. Why is there a demon in that area? More importantly, it held the Sewer Key. Only one answer is available. That Capra demon is sane. He hold the key because the sewer there is his home, along with his cohorts, the Butchers. No one can ever enter the Sewer without killing him first. Even the Master Key cannot be used. Hypothesis 2: The fog gates lead to a parallel universe. It has been known that the timeline in Lordran is messed up, allowing summon signs to be used. Exhibit A. The first fog gate of Sen's Fortress It is quite confusing when you enter that fog gate and then see that the balls are rolling to another side. No one just made a quick switch and pushed the lever towards our way. No Lizardmen in that area too. Unless, the player is actually stepping into another universe in which the ball is already rolling that way. As you can see, I made logical answers using Demon Souls as my frame. This is like FNAF. Using the books to solve the game. Anyway, this is fun for me and I am actually getting answers to my speculation. I will be brawling with in the Vaati discord again.

Some of those you mentioned have solid theories explaining them, others don't, and never will, as there just isn't enough information. And that's fine. That's how the story is structured. About your theories: no offence, but that's mostly grasping at straws rather than logic. Don't listen to me though, have fun doing your thing.
