>Literally false. They either mislead, omit, or bend the truth across the series, such as the obvious ones being Patches and Lautrec, and then Frampt versus Kaathe.
So they never lie
>Go a step further and look at item descriptions, and we have Seath's Channelers. The whole point is you're piecing together a biased, incomplete history.
Which doesn't change that Kaathe says things about the Age of Fire and Dark that the writers of Dark Souls 2 didn't understand
>DS2 isn't fanfiction for exploring the idea that both Fire and Dark are part of the same endless cycle.
It is absolutely fanfiction. It is such poor fanfiction that the alternative results into a non-specified nothing because the game literally can't present through visual means the actual metaphysics it can't understand in the first place. Dark Souls 2 quite literally doesn't understand Dark Souls. Usurpation of Flame is a great example of what a well written Dark Souls 2 should have had, an ending that uses the actual metaphysics of Dark Souls (the bind all humanity has with the Fire through the Darksign) and allow the player to take the Flame and profane it with curse (which defies causality and escapes the constant entropy the normal Flame is subjected too) corrupting it and containing it through the sacrifices of pilgrims of Londor. This is the perfect ending, and it actually connects with the Painting of Ariamis and the Dark Lord cult of New Londo.
This ending has proper build up, introducing the fading Flame of Chaos, the unfading Profaned Flame, Wolnir,... and payoff. Factions are all centered around the main plotpoint of the game. Dark Souls 2 is poor fanfiction.
>That's a valid reading of DS1's own ambguity, and saying it assumes wrong shit presumes your reading is the only correct one.
My reading is the correct one because unlike you, I actually read
>When Miyazaki himself entire approach is to invite multiple interpretations.
Completely false
