Sounds like you want to be impressed by 1080p graphics on your monitor, go for ff13 first.
Then trade it in for demon's or dark souls. It's probably best to play 3d dot game heroes in between, going from ff13 to a souls game might be a shock. (Not entirely true, ff13 has some challenges in the optional missions, Adamantoise and Ochu spring to mind)

It seems you looked right through me. :P

Although I'm not a guy who thinks graphics are all that important, I do love me some eye candy. (And I don't hate hard games, as long as it's a "fair" kind of hard if you know what I mean.)

Graphics has its place too, 2012, although very mediocre as a movie, sure has some destruction eye candy in HD.

Dark souls is 'mostly' fair. It has it's cheap shots now and then if you don't know what's coming. Once you get to know the game you won't be falling for it's traps so easily anymore.
In the end I prefer it over something like Skyrim not simply because of the difficulty. Since it forces you to replay sections you really start to know the intricate level detail. I can mentally walk through the whole game in my head, yet can hardly remember any details of all the countless dungeons in Skyrim, and have played both for about the same time.
Don't worry too much about replaying sections, you always feel like you are getting stronger and more efficient. Not everything resets after death, and you get to keep everything you picked up. Hurrah for the suicide run :)
