I’ve read many criticisms of Bloodborne’s story when compared with Dark Souls.
Many times he would read a story and find that he couldn’t understand half of it, and so he would connect the words he could find and fill in the blanks, forming a story of his own that used the pieces that had been laid out before him. He was fascinated with western tales of fiction, but his English was not fluent enough to understand every single word. Unable to afford any means of entertaining himself, Miyazaki would spend most of his childhood reading books found in his local library. Hidetaka Miyazaki, the genius behind the Souls franchise, grew up in poverty in the city of Shizuoka. But there was no answer to whether the Monumental was good or evil there was no explanation for how Biorr’s armor could be found in Miralda’s well the mysteries behind Lord Rydell and the Old Monk remained void of answers. The only real topic of debate was whether or not the Old One was the God of the Church. It’s no mystery that the concept of Souls Lorehunting didn’t really exist with Demon’s Souls other than a few notable exceptions like GuardianOwl. In Demon’s Souls, the answers hadn’t been there. It was the kind of story that could be re-arranged and presented as fact, with all of the mysteries solved like a novel where, at the end of the book, the brilliant detective goes over the evidence to the rest of the characters and makes all the connections for them.ĭemon’s Souls had been different. Even so, the story of Dark Souls was all too grounded for me. One could pull back the curtain of Anor Londo and discover the machinations of Gwyndolin and Frampt, or bring the Lordvessel to Kaathe and learn of another layer to the story. The story of Dark Souls is certainly mysterious the game avoided conventional storytelling and instead gave the player the burden of uncovering the truth on their own.
But I always found that there was something missing in Dark Souls: the unknown.
Maybe it’s because, Demon’s Souls fanatic that I was, I had hyped the game up in my mind to such impossibly high standards that there was no way it could compete with my expectations. The gameplay is solid the world is compelling the characters are interesting. The Paleblood Hunt - A Bloodborne Analysisĭedicated to all those with a story to tell
