@meci6625 4 года назад

Yeah that was... Confusing I watched a video recently (today actually) that said that the original idea for DS2 was that of a massive open world with all the different regions that we see. But the team changed director mid development and they had to scramble all together. Kinda like a real life Lothric. DS2 is still my favourite though

@thecrabmaestro564 4 года назад

I mean I think in ds2 it's that they're making a long journey shorter to not affect gameplay as much. It could be that the lift takes us to the top of the tower and then from there there is a path to the iron keep that's too long to be put in gameplay. Or it could be rushed design, who knows.

@AceRide 3 года назад

For me, Velka is by far the most interesting of the gods in Dark Souls. Her unique domain, her unique relationship to said domain (being equally willing to redeem or to punish), her status as a "rouge" diety, the possibility of her being Priscilla's mother, the suggestions of a connection to Gwyndolin, and her potential connection to sorcery (being described as a "witch" & her talisman using intelligence instead of faith). She's connected to so much that in terms of overall importance to the lore, I'd argue she rivals Gywn.

@Thesaurus_Rex 6 лет назад

There were a lot of things I didn't like about DS2, but something I really liked was how it felt like a part of a much larger world by constantly describing all these different, distant cultures that you never got to see. In that aspect, at least, it really felt like a we were seeing just a small part of a great big world. And I think that plays into the timelines of Dark Souls. In the original Dark Souls, few distant lands were described, because, even during the full age of fire, civilization was still young, and men and other beings hadn't yet had a chance to spread to other lands. In Dark Souls 2, things have been in full swing for a while, and many civilizations have sprung up and developed distinct cultures and belief systems and interactions with one another. The undead curse is a distant fear for that world, something horrible and terrifying that happened far away and one hoped would never reach their homeland, but, almost always, inevitably arrived. In Dark Souls 3, the world is collapsing back in on itself, so many cultures have already perished. The undead curse is the only thing keeping most of the inhabitants alive. It's not that they survived, it's that they failed to die with everyone else.

@MineSlimeTV 4 года назад

Infsct I adore so many of the different and stylized invaders and npc phantoms as well as all of this unusual race's! It felt humane something beautiful and viewed in this land the truest economic and more almost grounded troubles theu faced alongside other rising ones. All collapsing together to leaving only derelict.

@brightestlight9462 4 года назад

this is a 2 year old comment but whatever i thought dark souls 2 takes place chronologically waaay after dark souls 3?

@Thesaurus_Rex 4 года назад

@@brightestlight9462 That was a theory at one point, but there's no real evidence supporting it, and there are enough vague references to DS2 locations and persons in the past tense that DS3 almost certainly takes place after DS2. In the Dreg Heap, the lands seem to be arranged from youngest on top to oldest at the bottom (except for the Kiln of the First Flame, which sucked everything else towards it and ended up being one of the highest points as a result). DS3's Lothric is towards the top, then DS2's Earthen Peak is in the middle, then DS1's Firelink Shrine is at the bottom. The Ringed City is even further below to indicate that it's one of the oldest locations in the world.

@brightestlight9462 4 года назад

@@Thesaurus_Rex thanks for that! so what's the canonical reason for ds3 having so many more direct links to ds1? ds2 doesn't really talk at all about gwyn or any of the gods or locations in ds1, whereas they are integral to ds3--though obviously not as much so as in ds1

@Thesaurus_Rex 4 года назад

@@brightestlight9462 I believe because Drangleic was, itself, somewhat further from Lordran than Lothric is, both geographically and philosophically. Lothric seems to have been somewhat obsessed with the linking of the fire, and there's a possibility that the royalty of Lothric were, themselves, descended from the gods of Anor Londo. Meanwhile, Drangleic seemed opposed to the linking of the fire, to some extent, given that Aldia seemed to view it as "the first sin". And, as I said in my original post, DS2 took place during a time when, while the curse of the undead was very much widespread, the world was perhaps at its zenith, when the races of men had spread far across the world, so the cultural influence of Anor Londo's gods (if any still existed at all) wasn't felt by many.

@stolenname94 5 лет назад

@@nightshade180 people say it's bad because it did things differently. Probably the one I hate the most is people taking about how you don't engage single hollows for one on one combat like the first game. So because they can't agro one at a time for an easy r1 spam kill they call it bad game design? ?I call it not being a carbon copy of the previous game lol. The same people who moan about life gems quickly forgot they loved crescent moon grass in demon souls. I really could go on pointing out the flaws in their nostalgia. My only issue with Ds2 is some bosses were shit and the hot boxes can be dodgy under 105 agility I'll give them that. But if you ask me hand down best fashion souls and pvp, the combat in general was well balanced imo.

@nightshade180 5 лет назад

@@stolenname94 I completely agree, I liked how it was a little harder to get enemies alone. And some of the bosses were kinda crap (covetous demon, and nashandra to name a couple) but there were some good things, I personally like how mythas fight could be hard as mess if you still have the windmill running, and with freja having smaller spiders in the fight and only being able to hit her two heads. I just hate hope people compare it, and don't recognize the beauty in the game

@twistedgwazi5727 5 лет назад

I think DS2's issue is that it often did changes poorly. Combat to me feels janky and durability is an absolute nightmare to deal with. If they didn't want it to be compared with DS1, well, they wouldn't have called it Dark Souls 2.

I have an alternative theory for carthus which I have detailed in Dark Souls Amino (Trap God Leo) I believe that the catacombs are not actually part of Carthus, but the demon ruins and smouldering lake, which the Abyss Watchers used as a ‘dumping grounds’ of sorts for the remains of carthus. This explains the nearly identical architecture of the catacombs and ruins, the pottery from farron appearing in the catacombs, now filled with bones and malevolent spirits, as well as Ghru, formerly Xanthous scholars, appearing all the way into the lake.

I'm new to Dark Souls, recently started really getting into DS3, I never knew there were Varangians in Dark Souls that's super cool. In real life Varangians were Viking, Rus, and Anglo-Saxon mercenaries who worked for the Byzantine Empire and basically did all the elite soldier stuff like protecting the emperor and doing the special forces type of stuff on the battlefield at the time. This was because the Emperors trusted Norse honor over the loyalty of their own people

TheQuiescentGamer what's your kink, no point in lying

@TheQuiescentGamer 6 лет назад

Ginsho My kink is to become as grossly incandescent as Solaire while getting smacked around by Wolnir. Basically, I get turned on in the dark not knowing when the enormous existential dread that is my life will finally grab me and drag my corpse into the abyss where others have surely died...

@Shazoo1997 6 лет назад

TheQuiescentGamer one can only dream though.

@rafwins2000 6 лет назад

Something that might also support that last one is the presence of two lothric knights down in the dreg heap, since that is one place we can definetly the converging of land

What if everything in dark souls is a cycle when we head into the new painting we live with whatever was painted then we die and whatever identity grabs our soul. Begins Slaying whatever was painted and starts the beginning of the end. In our dark souls universe it would be the gods that took the soul of the one who helped the previous painter. This would mean the dragons were painted and This would give the dragons a past and would explain why there world without the gods was so perfect. Also perhaps in the painting before the the dark souls one dragons were perfect creatures in the eyes of the painter.

WannaBeHero then people other than hollows should have been here and remembered the existence of such thing. Then humanity should have been there even before fire. Rott should have also existed and the actual cycle of the flame wouldn’t be a thing. It would also say that anything in DS2 is not real and that the painting in ds1 was not made at first as a prison. Sorry, your theory is interesting but there’s no way that it can work. Tell me if I am wrong but it also looks like you never played DS2 or haven’t looked at it’s lore because it explains a lot about the cycle itself and how it was even brought in the first place. That it was almost like some kind of paradox made by Gwyn because he couldn’t accept the end of his empire. That being hollow is the natural order and that the cycle is an anomaly. Every thing need to end someday but people are scared of it so they go against it’s nature and create more misery because of it. There’s is also more to this but I will leave it to you to discover it.

a very good story and video as always vaati! happy to see new content and hear the story of everything, you are the one who made me interested in doing more than kill bosses in the souls games and since i heard you explain it all it have been a more emotional challenge to fight through the games. outstanding work!

@KaiserAfini 6 лет назад

Vaati, any chance you could do some Salt & Sanctuary lore ? Its fascinating stuff, full of small details.

@firestalker11 6 лет назад

KaiserAfini I've been hoping for a video like that for months. Hope it happens.

@LordFhalkyn 6 лет назад

I think he only does Soulslike games produced by FromSoft. If he did Salt and Sanctuary, he'd have to do other Soulslike games, such as Nioh and Hollow Knight.

@larrywave 6 лет назад

@TheZajicekfarber 6 лет назад

Oh man, I just started playing Salt and Sanctuary again last week (never beat it before), and I was thinking how much I'd love to see Vaati do some videos on it.

@KaiserAfini 6 лет назад

Wesley Farber Its a great game, but if you want lore videos, check out the series by Cyberphile. He wrote The Drowned Tome (which you can find in pdf on reddit) and is the community's lore master.

Here's a quick history note about the name Varangian: The Varangian Guard were a troop who protected the Byzantine emperor. The guard was notably composed of a huge amount of northmen (primarily Scandinavians and Kievan Rus), which is why the Varangian set seems to be viking inspired, and they are piratical in nature.

@notxtrever3874 6 лет назад

In my opinion dark souls 2 probably has the best lore on things that are not in the game.

@ironbooze2937 6 лет назад

Not XTREVER DS2, especially scholar, is underrated anyway. They are all good games, don't get me wrong, but DS2 gets way too much hate. In my book it's >DS3

@janogabor7697 6 лет назад

Ds 3 is still way more interesting. Ds 2's world felt like it has no inspired style to it or atleast it lost it's style. Miyazaki made Dark Souls to feel like Berserk. Ds 2 feels like your average fantasy. Ds 1=Ds 3>Ds 2.

@fatbastardbeats 6 лет назад

>Ds 2's world felt like it has no inspired style literally DS3

@thanatossslay9819 6 лет назад

hollllllke123 ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT!? Spoiler alert: He did. He said it so many times that berserk inspired him to make DS

@Rammkommando 6 лет назад

DS3 was literally copy and fucking paste from DS1 not really all that inspired honestly DS3 had the most boring areas other than DLC, i wanted to explore more in DS1 and 2 but DS3 EVERYTHING LOOKS THE FUCKING SAME, with the exception of irythyll which i got bloodborne vibes from it

@LaughingD3mon 6 лет назад

@makk3400 6 лет назад

1:09 in the "The Unmade Soulsborne Videos of 2017" Video you talked about Lorians war against the Demons and that actually was the one I was the most interested in and now its the only one missing feelsbadman.

@rrm1903 5 лет назад

the Abyss Watcher armor text in my opinion is about how they saw the rot and abyss is consuming themselves (just like it once did to their master) not that they always knew but more like once in the end that it had consumed them they too could see the corruption on the outside as it literally had stained their armor.

@raphicoco 6 лет назад

Not at all, but the ds1 fandom like to muffle us with their shout on how dark souls 1 is “superior in every single way”. Also that DS3 is a true sequel and that it is TOTALLY not because the fan service flatter them to the extreme of sucking them off.

Well, when I started to watch there was only 400 views... And now it's over 9000 And that's because of the notification bell ! You should really click it guys ! Anyways, thank you again VaatiVidya for this video. All these video about the lore of Dark souls are very pleasant to watch or to listen. It feels nice to listen to you telling us stories, your voice is sweet ! And it helps with understanding a lot of things in these games that can be very confusing sometimes. Sorry for my poor english, and I wish you to have a nice day ♥

@RubyDynamite 6 лет назад

Probably the *best* version of 'hit the bell for notifications' I've ever seen. Also I could easily fall asleep to these. Your voice is just delightful. Also also! It's just gobsmacking how detailed the lore in these games is. Not just that, but it's just so fascinating to see how something as simple as localization of a non-English title can impact your analysis. Bravo, VV!
