Can we safely assume that Dark Souls 2 been retconned?
I don't know, but before anyone plays Dark Souls III, they should vote on the best boss from the rest of the Soulsborne series here.

Aren't there direct references to DS2 in weapon discriptions?

The entire story of the game is based on the cycles stuff that was introduced in dark souls 2, op is just being autistic
How's the soundtrack in DaS3?
Is it bloodborne tier or does it barely exist like DaS3?
>>333853918
This. Op is using shitty autistic bait, that's it.
>>333853918
The cycles were introduced in 1 you fucking retard
>>333854918
Find me any line in ds1 that implies that the fire had been linked by anyone other than gwyn.
Cycles weren't even a thing before the ending of dark souls, the chosen undead was the first person to ever link the flame after gwyn
>>333855272
Fair point!
dark souls is hottest meme
>>333855272
But wasn't THAT the introduction of the cycle? while Dark Souls 2 is just proof of the cycle having been perpetuated?
There's no cycle if it didn't start, so it was introduced in one and continued in 2

Gwyn is the start. You are the literal second cycle.
The intro states that no matter what you do. In the end, only embers will remain.
DaS2 just shows you one of the cycles. Irrelevant.

This is why noone should ever base their opinions by just what they hear on /v/ or news sites
>>333855465
Dark Souls ends immediately after linking the flame, there's no hint as to what happens next, dark souls 2 was the first game to introduce cycles where the flame is costantly linked by someone sacrificing his soul/humanity.

Eleum Loyce plays a huge role in the story of DS3
Where's the cheapest place to buy the PC version? Complete version is still 70 bucks on GMG
