Dark Souls. It's literally just Dark Souls. All the "vagueposting" approach to lore in a lot of recent RPGs is just them aping a successful vidya that has the same "vibe" they're going for. The thing is, Miyazaki and the other developers at Fromsoft usually had a fairly concrete idea of what was going on behind the scenes and just parcelled out information the way they did for a lot of narrative and design reasons that smarter people than me have already discussed at length. Most of the hacks discussed in this threat just do it to be lazy and obtuse.
