People really do assume the FromSoft formula is just "super hard boss fights" but really it's Tall Ladies, Hidetaka Miyazaki's barely contained masochistic death fetish, incredibly hard but usually fair boss fights, community graffiti, annoying rat, even more annoying dog, walk walk fashion baby, poison swamp, bottomless pit, Large Jovial Dad Figure, jolly cooperation, Berserk Reference, and slapstick comedy.

Tumblr is a social network in the same sense that Dark Souls is multiplayer.

From Sofware has this habit of coming up with ideas in a certain context, making it make sense in that context, and then liking that idea so much that they use it with the same name in other games, that don't have that context in their story.
For instance, fog walls. Mighty odd mechanic in dark souls isn't it? Just some random patches of unexplained fog, in later games they give it a different name like "nightmare wall" or "wall of golden light". But in the souls series it's just fog walls, in games where fog hold no special significance. Well, they were created in demon's souls, a game where a fog is slowly consuming the world, and it is emitted by demons. Those fog walls are places where the fog grows thicker, and because big demons release it, there is often a boss behind it.
Another smaller example is summoning in Elden Ring. Elden Ring doesn't take place in a decayed timeline with many alternate dimensions and ruined time, which used to explain how you summon ancient heroes and alternate chosen undeads in dark souls, but the game still uses "invading another world" and "phantom has returned to their world", with barely a few new words to explain it. What the hell does Host of Fingers even imply, it doesn't seem as important as Host of Embers, "host of the thing every ashen one wants".
And finally the one example I know from a different FS series. Assault armor. This isn't armor in any way, i'm pretty sure it does not block bullets, it's literally an explosion, why is it CALLED ARMOR. Well, "Assault Armor" originated in Armored Core:For Answer. There, the acs have a thing called "Primal Armor", a radioactive force field that dissolves most bullets. Assault armor is a move that empties your primal armor, releasing it as an explosion. You are ASSAULTING them with your ARMOR.
Like they are going "you know what this is, we don't need to explain it again". It's cute but it creates some very confusing situations

Souls games are great because you'll have some guy named like Roderick the Vast and he can turn people inside out with his space dust laser beams
and then the fan favourite character is Glorbus, who's just some guy. his powers are cooking a mean stew and selling one useful item. he has the most poignant and meaningful story arc in the whole game. you get nothing for killing him, except the guilt. he's featured in every inspirational edit of the game. finding him requires skipping 3 bosses and sacrificing a newborn goat in an abandoned tavern. his stew heals wounds. he is the best.

not me getting teary-eyed at four in the morning about how at their core soulsborne games really are meant to be a cooperative experience that constantly drive home how even when things seem hopeless and terrifying you are never truly alone.....and in fact it's in your darkest moments that you should reach out for help, because chances are there will be someone there ready to do what they can.......ough the inherent selfless love at the core of humanity that refuses to stop shining even in the darkest depths of despair...........the reminder that even when you're suffering there are people in the darkness with you and that you should never be afraid to reach out to them for help..............that sometimes we truly can't fight the shadows on our own but that's okay because we don't have to........and the reminder that when we can we should turn around and offer that same help to others........
