@@KOHoxton Idk exactly how it happens at FromSoft, but I believe they develop their worlds very carefully, as worldbuilder authors do in fantasy books. 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.

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.

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.

Been watching this channel ever since I was 12, my best friend bought me the Dark Souls: Prepare to die edition Box as a surprise for my birthday and we were completely engulfed in the theme and gameplay of it all. We took turns playing whenever we had difficulties or were burned out and we just enjoyed it. I was very curious about the Lore and I found this channel. I know you wont be able to see this comment, but I just wanna thank you for the memories. I'm 20 now and you're my favorite channel on youtube. You never disappoint man, Godbless always.

I have never been this early for a video, and I'm so happy. This is my favorite channel.

Thank you for being a good narrator. Thank you for not sounding like you are reading a speech in middle school. Also, good job with the content and editing. Thank you for not trying to make stupid jokes that don't fit in. I've been on a kick watching dark souls lore videos and I am getting sick of how bad most people are at speaking. You are an oasis in a desert I've been wandering in for days. You rock. Make more of these. I will now like, subscribe, and watch more of your videos.

Quite an informative video, as always! One word of feedback: the pacing seemed a bit fast. A few extra moments of pause between segments may have made things flow more naturally.

@jeremytitus9519 3 года назад

Seconded. Though maybe he just didn’t want to edit the extra footage, or upload a heckin chonker of a vidya. Which is reasonable.

@Grimbonez 3 года назад

yo this was really great. gets me so hyped to jump in to demon's souls finally(when i actually get a ps5) so many parts got me asking more questions and wanting to learn more. hoping more vids are to come. side note: is it mean or is demon's souls seem like its more well thought out then dark souls? i know pretty much all the dark souls lore but never played demon's souls and it seems like from the video, the idea and lore of the world itself just seem like they had a clearer vision and wrote more cohesively.

@vhalrougelarfouxe 3 года назад

Funny enough... I think I am getting vibes that Demon Souls actually is the answer to the whole Dark Souls franchise. As such, I will be researching this deeply.

@nikitas1841 3 года назад

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.

@vhalrougelarfouxe 3 года назад

@@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.

@nikitas1841 3 года назад

@@vhalrougelarfouxe About DS 1's mysteries: that's exactly the thing. You assume they need to be answered, but they don't really. Not all of them. 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. It's just that as years go by, there is less and less actual connections in the lore to discover, and more and more grasping at straws, overthinking things and making stuff up going on, and I guess I'm just over all of that.

@vhalrougelarfouxe 3 года назад

@@nikitas1841 thank you. Sometimes, we find answers by grasping straws. I find fun in looking into these mysteries and definitely, I am not over it. Must be the obsessive one on me. I had been researching this alone for years already and looking at interpretations of others. Its really a fun time for me.

@@vhalrougelarfouxe Almost everything in the world respawns. Why is it that killing a boss behind a fog wall will permanently removes the entity? For that matter, is there lore explaining why do some things in the main world permanently despawn after death?
