Daily reminder that Dark Souls 3, at least the storyline involving Lothric is heavily inspired by Johns Revelation's most famous part, opening of the seals, similar to how Bloodborne is inspired by Lovecraft.
Let's have a look.
>Every mountain and island is moved out of place (6:14)
Just like cities and whole lands are moved out of place and appear elsewhere, like Lothric or Carthus.
>"Under the altar," appeared the souls of martyrs for the "word of God," who cry out for vengeance. They are given white robes and told to rest until the martyrdom of their brothers is completed. (6:9-11)
Under the altar (shrine, firelink shrine), appear the souls of martyrs (because they burn themselves to save the known world), they are told to rest (on the thrones), until all of them have linked the fire.
In Dark Souls 3, lords don't wait on the thrones, which is a nice spin.
IT STARTS GETTING VERY OBVIOUS NOW!
>There occurs a great earthquake where "the sun becomes black as sackcloth of hair" (6:12).
>sun becomes black
>great earthquake
Come on guys. If you played the game you know what this means.
Don't even get me started on the divine messengers.
Thank you Myiazaki for making Christian mythos cool.
Fedora tippers need not reply.
>He believes in a good
So it is summer already?

>japanese media features christianity out of the ass because rule of cool
woo fucking oow
>>336010235
mooom! r/atheism leaking again!
For people not as well-read, Johns Revelation is a part in the Bible describing the end of the world, at least on the surface level.
Thank you for reading, please give it some thought.
>>336010341
>Reading a bible means believing/having religious beliefs
You are retarded.
Just because someone reads lovecraft doesnt mean they believe in cthulu or nyarlothetep
>>336010601
Cool thread OP,I'll keep this in mind as I play
The Book of Revelation is heretical garbage.
Jesus said that even he didn't know when the end of the world would happen. Pretty sure if he didn't, some other faggot didn't either.
>>336010235
except DaS3 isnt based on the bible as much as its based on, or heavily references, Berserk.
whilst berserk makes heavy reference to Revelations and the end of times and the like.
its more an indirect thing, reall, op.
>>336010883
Spotted the heretical neochristian denomination garbage.
May Roman Catholicism reign supreme, filthy heretic!
Japs commonly put Christian themes in their media because "it looks cool"
>It's a "Japanese game portrays Christians/the church as violent fanatics who's god is likely fake while simultaneously expecting to you take aspects of Japanese religion such as reincarnation at face value" episode
>>336010883
This is not what we are discussing here.
>>336010895
I watched the Berserk anime, and while what you say is true, i do believe that in DARK SOULS 3, and in DARK SOULS 3 only this resemblance is intentional by the creator Hidetaka Myiazaki.
Let's take a closer look at divine messengers, which many believe are Frampt and Kaathe, manipulative serpens from the first game (biblical reference again), but they are wrong.
"Angel" in Biblical Hebrew is mal'ak . Its main meaning is "messenger",
These angels are the ''mosquito'' like things, also described as pilgrim butterflys, that fly over the lothric castle. Many will doubt that these are the angels, however it is stated on one of the items relating to the winged knights states
>the angels came from the sky
The serpents come from the below, and as such, it is these angels that are revered.
Also, angels too are biblical.
Messenger

Martyrs Logarius and Alfred literally did nothing wrong.
From a lore perspective, Vilebloods treat the dead with disresepect and ill content.
Making decorations of their corpses.
The Executioners have their zeal, their faith, respect and their wheel.
they believe in the strength of their fists moreso than any stupid ritualistic act.
I find them far more down to earth than any batshit vileblood queen.
They are normal people assuming the guise of the mask of vindication to right what they feel is wrong with their world, and the order of hunters.
>>336011609
I know that the winged knights worship an angel, held in the archives, but we only find a cage, empty, with feathers scatterred about.
I wish i knew what happened to the captive, or where they went.
Maybe dlc will tell.
Wonder if they had anything to do with magic and the crystal sages too.
>>336011609
Lets not forget Cathedral of the deep being the holding place for all evil in the world.
Until Pontiff Sullyvahn Slipped some awful perversions into the braille tomes, cathedral was apparently a holding ground for evil crap.
>Tall cage doors
>Sealed room of rosaria
>Giants guarding/ standing watch.
Archdeacons may have been wholly good until they were corrupted by Sullyvahn, the Antichrist of Dark Souls.
I really want to know who aldritch was.
All I know is he came from irithyll originally.
Maybe he was just a lowly irithyllian cleric sent on a caniballistic bender by sully. who knows.
Poor Gwyndolin.
>>336011764
In this cage is Gertrude, the heavenly daughter, locked away, dead, with only feathers around, remains of her wings.
Why do i know this is her? You find a miracle on her corpse that states:
>Miracle of Gertrude, the Heavenly Daughter.
The Queen's holy maiden Gertrude was visited by an angel, who revealed this tale to her.
The winged knight armour says:
> Armor of the Winged Knights, who swore themselves to the Angels.
>Worship of the divine messengers was viewed as heresy in Lothric and unrecognized by any of the Three Pillars of rule.
>This is believed to be why Gertrude, the Heavenly Daughter, was imprisoned in the lofty cell of the Grand Archives.
>>336012046
Yes, a cathedral of such architecture is found only in the western christian world, not anywhere else.
The presence of deacons and priests further reinforces my point as christianity being a powerful motif in this game.

It's a month too early for t his autistic ass post.
>>336011609
God those things are creepy, surprised you don't fight any
>>336011609
The serpents are based on the Ouroboros.
>>336012620
They are not made for battle, those are angels of the dark souls universe. The closest you get to such a fight is the Dragonslayer armour.
>>336010341
Nigga, liking Christian imagery or themes doesn't automatically make you a member of that religion.
bump pls
>>336010235
That's interesting anon. Normally whenever a work of contemporary fiction draws from anything biblical, they start and stop with a character as a Christ-like martyr.
This "daily reminder" needs to die.
>>336016562
They started with Gwyn, a Christ like figure, and continue with his successors, who also sacrifice themselves.
The motif is obvious.
>>336011609
The anime only covers the normal stuff except zodd.
>>336010883
>Jesus talks about the end times at the desecrated temple
>Never mentions when it will start
>John speaks in length of his vision of the end times
>Not contradictory to what Jesus spoke of
>Never mentions when it will start
You just start that intro to Theology class Atheist fag?
>>336013240
Why does this guy have fans and get support? Guess it doesn't matter aslong as he' saying hurrr god's not real. The atheists will flock to whomever
>Jesus
>christianity
That's the antichrist actually.

It is amusing how the board who preaches all kinds of "sin" and satanism and that even has a dedicated board where sorcery is discussed and satan worship and demon summoning encouraged doesn't stop mentioning jesus everywhere.
The board that claims satan is cool... mentions jesus is cool.

>>336010895
Can this guy fuck off with his God damn Berserk references? Jesus Christ dude, this isn't an adaptation you made your own IP fucking move on.
I am very glad you guys agree with what i wrote here.
It is pretty obvious to any sound person when layed out like this mo, but i didn't have much luck proving this connection to Reddit audience.
>>336019320
No one says Satan is cool, only kids who want to look hip do for some reason.
>>336019320
Wow what a read that pastebin was. Almost as if from another place, by something not human.
I'd rather not trust it.
>there are people who actually believe in God
>on the internet
>in the 21st century
Call me a fedoratipper all you like but Goddamn this explains the retarded shit I force on my eyes to a certain extent.

Look very closely at the butterflies.
They're just the charred remains of gaping vagina dragons who flipped upside down
Revelation is pretty fucking cool

This Micolash is so uncanny. Fuck.
>>336020387
why is the passage of time a relevant argument against the existence of a god?
>le it's 2016 face xd
Well you're not wrong OP, Dark Souls is heavily based on Berserk, which in turn is heavily based on christianity.
>>336020869
>Berserk
>heavily based on christianity
i dont see it
>>336020869
Dark Souls 3 is directly linked to the Bible, as i stated in the OP.
Bump pls
>>336022035
>directly
Parallels are not direct links.
>>336022557
You're absolutely right, but come on. Is Bloodborne also not inspired by Lovecraft because it doesnt have Cthulhu in it?
>whenever /r/atheism sees a thread that has religion, they derail the thread with their crap
4chan is christian and not atheist
>>336022795
Learn to choose your words carefully.
That's all.

Christfag here, haven't read Revalations in some time now, but Pontiff=Antichrist makes so much sense.

Fuck you guys, does no one care about how this.game is inspired by the Bible? You guys read a lot of shit but fail to read one of the most influential books in the world.
>>336024923
They don't need the bible where they're going
>>336024923
The bible is made up shit written by random faggots anyway. Read the quran if you really want to see God's word.
>>336024923
The "evidences" are just way too weak to encourage any proper discussion.

>>336020069
Yeah dude, the proper way to live is: love your enemies, let them smack your face, do not make sure there's a God, give away your money, be stupid.
Totally "evil" to go against people who very obviously wanna murder you.
>>336025294
Fuck off mudslime.
>>336025582
Thank you, i will rework the OP and make sure that the parallels there are more graspable.
I think its very obvious when laid out in such a conscise manner.

Mate, i'm not even christian.
