That's more Berserk's deal, and from what I've seen also Demon's Souls's. DS1 is a lot more individualistic and existential, and even if everything is fucked, you do have a choice of sorts. It all comes down to whether you've become attached to the world enough that you will give yourself to keep it as it is, or if you have had enough and let go of it into the indeterminable. And even then, Dark Souls has the super East Asian element of dragons as transcendental, aeternal and enlightened angel-like creatures, and the whole Chaoskampf the Lords had with them. Oh, and let's not forget Gwyn's kids being the Shinto trinity.

>Gwyn (The Fisher King) is weakened and the land suffers as a consequence
You're getting things wrong. The world didn't suffer from Gwyn's sacrifice, his sacrifice is what kept the world going as it was, rather than it meeting its natural conclusion. If Gwyn has a precedent it's more likely to be Odin.
