Miyazaki talks about some of these in the official Design Works book. Unique architectures and ancient places that remain unknown to a lot of people. This is from Dark Souls 1 only. Timestamp, locations and sources below:

  1. It's a shame that lost izalith has the coolest architecture but is also the worst zone because of how unfinished it is

  2. Ng+ is definitely an awesome feature, but nothing comes close to beating the game the first time. Mind blown and sweating, so much dopamine and euphoria, incredible.

  3. Fascinating! Really! This is obvious Hidetaka and fromsoftware had to use references, but seeing it like here, gives some special feelings.

  4. This video actually inspired me to finally play it back when I first watched it, specifically the opening of this video with anor londo immediately caught my interest.

    Now its been recommended to me again years later I can say I love these games but ds1 is special. so thanks
