The bridges are not the same, the one in the Painted World is much longer then the one seen on the seen on the trailer, the mountain in the Painted World is also much larger and the castle in the trailer is located closer to the bridge then the Painted World ruins.CaligoIllioneus wrote:It's the old ruins of a castle. The courtyard is where the Phalanx are.
Both have the same bridge, both are built on a similar mountain, etc. Also the shot of the castle with the dragons in one of the trailers is exactly the same angle you fist see the Painted World in, which I don't think its a coincidence.
I don't think the circular rooms in the painted world are arenas (for example there are no chairs for the spectators), they look more like broken spires. Also there is a church in the Painted World (where the door the Annex key opens is) which fits more in a medieval castle or fort than in a colisseum
If it is the entire structure was bulldozed and rebuilt in full between Dark Souls 2 and the painting Ariamis made.Sneezer wrote:Pretty sure it was already confirmed that this would be the actual Ariamis, and that the Painted World was a separate thing that was inspired by the actual thing, or some such.
Nope, it was not confirmed, this is only a popular speculation.Sneezer wrote:Pretty sure it was already confirmed that this would be the actual Ariamis, and that the Painted World was a separate thing that was inspired by the actual thing, or some such.
And I think that's a boat and river leading up to the skull so I wonder if that is where we start our quest as a traveller from across the sea braving this mighty land.TheWanderer101 wrote:I wonder what the skull in the forested area represents? An undead outbreak maybe?

Anyways, that image is really interesting, not only the weapons (where you can see one of the swords used by the porcelain mask wearing assassins from the cinematic trailer) but the artbook...check closely, there's clearly a monster that looks very similar to the Balrog. It must be a boss...Flamelurker 2.0?

Edit: Also, the area at the bottom is VERY similar to the Cathedral in DkS1, which lends credence to my theory that the areas in Lordran were a conglomeration of spatial dimensions strung together.
I saved the pic to my desktop just to zoom it in and it looks more like a bat.CaligoIllioneus wrote:Oh hello. I don't log here in ages.
