![]() Such an armor would be a proud thing to display if properly cared for. In fact, the Fallen set looks like an even higher quality version of the Knight set, looking at the etchings. Look at the helmet, gauntlets, pauldrons, daggers, belts - they're the same models but much, much more worn, broken, and warped. The Fallen Knight's set is the Knight's set, or at least a variant of it. Battered, but not broken, and holding on to their ideals. Everything that classic knight stands for - Chivalry, honor, even loved ones represented through tokens of favor worn as their scarves - along with the harsh realities of the world and how it wears on you, are shown in the Knight's sets. It evokes classical images of Chivalry, but they are worn and weary - like the Nameless Knight's set, which was the starter in DS1 and the Fluted Set in Demon's Souls. There's a reason, I think, Miyazaki likes the close helm/armet and 15th-16th century styles of armor for the "starting" classes. It's worn, it's missing pieces (the leather pauldron is clearly a substitute piece, possibly because the original was broken somehow), but it's also practical and classically emblematic of what a knight looks like. The starting characters are not just fresh faces, they had lives before their time in the game - which we can absolutely see in the Knight's Set. ![]() It is, in my opinion, a great example of Miyazaki's attention to detail and appreciation for armor and how it tells a story. The Knight's armor is far from basic lol. They link into each other so bear with me.įirst. ![]()
