[quote]Just wanted to know if any souls lore enthusiasts have any theories on the upcoming dlc. My theory is that what the painter in ariandel is painting the world of bloodborne. We know that Gael is searching the dark soul because the painter needs "pigments". I think that the dark soul [u]of man[/u] would create a world populated by humans, like the real world in bloodborne, bringing about the age of dark/man. However i can't explain the hunter's dream/nightmare and the creatures that populate them; perhaps the influence of the other "pigments" used in the painting.(i remember it having some parts with what looked like blood) Fellow soulsbourne enthusiasts, enlighten me with your theories, and if you want, point out any problems in my far fetched theory. Last but not least:[spoiler]PRAISE THE SUN!!!\[T]/[/spoiler][/quote] No. No. No. No. Sorry, but no. I don't mean to be crude, but please no on the majority of that. SOUL lore enthusiasts don't mix Souls and Bourne together. Completely different times/worlds/locations that do not cross at all. This has been explained already like Demon Souls. Now that that is out of the way: The girl rescued in Ariandel (the painter) is speculated to be the one who painted both that world and Ariamas. Both locations are similar in architecture, lore, and location, but are completely different places. That is where the paintings end, no more said about it. Could be, but the new location doesn't fit the theme of the rest. That being said, I doubt the City will have anything to do with the painter. Ringed relates to some kind of bell, church possibly. From the trailer, we are going to somewhere underground, dark, with fire. Underground city kind of place. Honestly, the trailer did not leave much to go off, unlike Ariandel that screamed Prascilla. Honestly, I need to watch the trailer again, but I've got nothing as of now that is close to a logical theory.
