>Japs in general can't write good lore for shit.
Hidetaka Miyazaki can. Dark Souls 2 is just a parody of Souls games that goes through the same motions of trying to craft a similar story and setting while completely failing at understanding how to do it

Lothric Castle is surrounded by statues of Priestesses on its High Walls and Church because the religion the Fire, and the Firelink maidens went from little more than abused vessels for the Firelink to an important religious figure, with the High Priestess being the equivalent of the Popess

The Archives of Lothric have statues of Winged Serpents to show how the Serpents coveted to become dragons and their manipulations aimed at using research of Dark Souls. This is portrayed with the past King of Lothric bearing the Firelink while soaring through the sky. So when the Angel appeared, a cult formed around the ascension of humanity.
The Old King of Lothric is depicted like Constantine the Great, as a winged man holding a scepter, symbol that in the history of Dark Souls, the true capital of the world was moved from Anor Londo to Lothric, where the Klin is. The accuracy with the real life equivalents Rome and Constantinople is not a coincidence as Miyazaki is an history fan and is also present in many parts of Elden Ring setting

The Lothric Knights carried the tradition of dragon hunting, and they are depicted as beheading themselves to be reborn as undead with their blood linked in the basin of vows. This is why most of them are burned to ash and leaving empty armor.

Lothric is not just Lordran into the future, but so far into the future that society, religion, customs and architecture change and evolve in a logical way. You can see the detail and care that was put in the setting.

Drangleic Castle is barren except it has a huge creepy painting of Nashandra and then you get close and there's an evil sound and smoke and you get cursed, because Dark Souls 2 is the cartoon network version of a Souls game
