If anyone hasn't already, go search EpicNameBro on Youtube. He is easily one of the most absorbing and informative Dark Souls community members out there right now. He has a great analysis of the trailer.
Personally, I would love a sequel, as prequels usually suffer from being unexciting (because we know what inevitably happens), but with Dark Souls? There's so much ambiguity and room for just absolutely anything to happen. Plus with the fact that time really just does whatever it feels like in Lordran means there's even more experimentation.
I really like the idea of a near-prequel/concurrent story. As if this Undead were heading to Lordran around the same time the Chosen Undead is doing his/her thing. I would love to see more of the Dark Souls world outside Lordran, whilst simultaneously being able to see Lordran before it was completely inhospitable. Decaying is much more dramatic than the decayed.
I also have faith that From Software will exceed whatever I can come up with.I actually like that. Like you star out far away, and as you get closer, you see lordran slowly decaying. The only problem I have with this it that it seems like as you go foreward, you would be leaving the other areas behind and what I always liked about dark souls, is that it is one connected area, and you will keep returning to old places.
