Dark souls 3 timeline

[Justinyl]

I think dark souls 3 come before 1. I mean look at that tower behind firelink shrine in DKS 3, it looks like that unaccessible ruined tower besides firelink in Dark souls 1. Or maybe time and space is distorted till past becomes present, future becomes past?

Nobody can say anything for sure, but I am certain this is the 3rd in the timeline. The Age of Dragons lasted for "infinity" untill the first flame, and the Heirs are heirs to Gwyn, Lord of Cinder.

pretty sure miyazaki said ds3 is after ds2.

Maybe its the advanced technology use to create DKS 3 as compared to DKS 1 & 2. But the buildings in DKS 3 feels so new and undamaged, making it seems to be the start of everything

I beleive it is set a few thousand years after ds2. Plus the games tagline is "only embers remain". That means that the first flame has not been rekindled in quite some time.

But the fact that there are armors and weapons from both the previous dark souls pretty much confirms that it will be a direct sequel.
You also have the lords of cinder, the giants and the crown from ds2 and the abyss watchers that clearly ressemble artorias.
It seems to follow Aldia's ending where you seek to undo the curse but im not sure, I havent watched the latest videos.

It takes place multiple kingdoms after Dark Souls 2. Though spoilers lay in the reason why.

I don't think so
The item descriptions for Solaire's armor and the full red eye orb both say they are items from an older time

Because Miyazaki is trying very hard to scrub away the memory of DS2. As he should.

He doesn't hate DS 2 and on that note, he's giving the same treatment to DS1.

Considering multiple things have already referenced previous games as "long ago" this is pretty much proven wrong already

When someone asked him at a q&a if soul memory would be a thing in ds3 he didnt respond he just looked away and smiled.

Nobody liked Soul Memory, yes, but if i recall there's quite a few things he took from DS 2 and put them in DS 3.

When the Bells of Awakening toll, the heirs of fire rise. In Dark Souls 1 there was only one heir of fire who could be resurrected - Gwyn, Lord of Cinder. In Dark Souls 3 there are more. I think it's pretty safe to say Dark Souls 3 is a sequel.

This is also just a theory though, but it does give a bit more meaning to the word "awakening".

The devourer of god ate the dark sun and took Hideyoshi's form, so 3 must be after 1. Another evidence is the absence of princess boobs, or at least her illusion.
I didn't find much link between 2 and the other games though.
