You act like soul games have a coherent story. Its mostly broken up pieces of lore that people cant take with a 100 percent certainty. So that get pieced together by some.

I read online that Miyazaki was a huge fan of western fantasy (why all the Souls games are all medieval fantasy with dragons and knights and shit), but coming from a Japanese background he didn't really understand all the stories and details at first; he basically was just drawn to the "rule of cool" with medieval fantasy, and he wanted to emulate that disjointed feeling when you play his games.

That all could be entirely wrong though.

Holy fuck, thank you for saying this. Every single time someone talks about the lore of Dark Souls or Elden Ring or whatever the fuck else I'm sitting here, screaming in my mind "what fucking story."
