King Allant seeks greater power and awakens the Old One, causing a colorless fog to consume the land. Demons harvest human souls, and reality begins to unravel. The central question is: Should humanity continue exploiting soul power, or should the Old One be put back to sleep? This establishes FromSoftware’s recurring theme: Human ambition is often the true villain. ⸻ Dark Souls Trilogy Dark Souls Dark Souls The universe begins with the First Flame. When the Flame appears, concepts emerge: * Light and Dark * Life and Death * Heat and Cold Gwyn and other Lords find powerful souls within the Flame and overthrow the Everlasting Dragons. Eventually the Flame starts dying. Instead of accepting the natural end of his Age of Fire, Gwyn sacrifices himself to prolong it. This single act creates nearly every problem in the trilogy. ⸻ Dark Souls II Dark Souls II Many ages have passed. Nobody remembers the original events correctly anymore. Kingdoms rise and collapse in endless cycles. The game’s major revelation is that: Linking the Fire doesn’t solve anything. It merely delays the inevitable. The cycle itself becomes the curse. ⸻ Dark Souls III Dark Souls III The world is literally collapsing under the weight of repeated Fire-linking. Time, geography, and reality are converging. The Age of Fire has been artificially extended for so long that existence itself is breaking. The trilogy’s final message is essentially: Let the old world die. The most hopeful ending is arguably accepting darkness and allowing something new to emerge. ⸻ Bloodborne Bloodborne Probably the most complex setting. The city of Yharnam discovers miraculous healing blood derived from cosmic beings called Great Ones. The blood heals disease. It also transforms people into beasts. The deeper truth is that humanity is unknowingly interacting with eldritch entities beyond normal perception. The central theme is not fire or cycles. It’s: The pursuit of forbidden knowledge. As humans seek higher understanding, they lose their humanity. The game transitions from gothic horror into cosmic horror. By the end, you’re fighting entities that exist beyond human comprehension. ⸻ Sekiro Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Unlike the others, this is a much more personal story. The Divine Heir possesses Dragon Heritage, a power granting immortality. Everyone wants it. Immortality causes stagnation, corruption, and suffering. The lesson mirrors Dark Souls: Death is necessary. The healthiest ending involves severing immortality’s influence entirely. ⸻ Elden Ring Elden Ring The Lands Between are governed by the Elden Ring, a metaphysical structure defining reality’s laws. The ruling force is the Greater Will, an Outer God-like cosmic entity. When Marika shatters the Elden Ring, reality fragments. The demigods fight over its remains. The player enters a world where divine authority has failed. A major distinction from Dark Souls: Dark Souls asks: “Should the current age continue?” Elden Ring asks: “Who gets to define reality itself?” Every ending proposes a different answer. ⸻ Nightreign Elden Ring Nightreign Nightreign takes place in an alternate version of the Elden Ring universe rather than continuing the base game’s story directly. The focus shifts from the political and metaphysical struggle over the Elden Ring to survival against the Night and its rulers. Lore is intentionally fragmented, but recurring themes remain: * A world in decline * Powers beyond human control * Cycles of destruction * Individuals resisting inevitable ruin Even when the structure becomes more roguelike and cooperative, the DNA is still unmistakably Soulsborne. ⸻ The Shared Miyazaki Obsession Across all these games, the same ideas appear repeatedly: Theme Example Stagnation is dangerous Gwyn prolonging Fire Immortality corrupts Sekiro, Elden Ring, Bloodborne Gods are flawed Gwyn, Marika, the Healing Church - @d.frxst
