Isn't the Hollow Lord ending the canonical one? We're done? Free'd to our own realm of humanity and sanctioned with the power of Dark and Flame? If I recall Miyazaki has actually stated no endings are canon for the 3rd one at least.
For me, NG+ is a result of the timeline in reality breaking down at the end of the age of fire and depositing you back at the beginning of your tale. Thats definitely not canon but its sicc as hell to think about.
Yeah, that's what I mean by the Age of Dark. Being the Hollow Lord ushers that in. The timeline was only looping because undead would keep re-linking the flame, and basically resetting time to keep Gwyn and the other gods in power. By not linking the flame, it is assumed the world just continues on into the new age, the age of dark. Which, I don't think is literally dark, given that darkness is what represents humanity. It's more like LOTR, and how Elves and magic were leaving so that human kind would be dominant.
The Hollow Lord ending is different than a natural age of dark though. The Ashen One jacks the First Flame and their own Dark Soul is titsed up such that together they can manifest reality (for anyone out there reading that dont know). Its a shame we only see them step into this reality and not much else is known about it. I've always assumed it must be the world The Painter made, since it has nearly the same ingredients (first flame vs painting's flame? Same same?)
On another note its crazy to think that in the entire history of Dark Souls (as it is at the end of 3) never had an age of dark. Like yeah, you can consider it to have at the end of any of your playthroughs in 1 or 3, but the world of 3 seems to assume one never happened and same with 2 when you start. An entire natural Age denied existence by Gwyn's fear and hubris.
