It's all an elaborate plan for 20 years to prepare people for the new LoD.
They started all out with Demon's Souls, making it damn hard and not wanting to put too much light into it, so when people discovered Dark Souls, the bigger and more accessible bother to it, they would have it there, waiting for hardcores to get it a try.
The game going third party was all planned as well, soon after it got popular because it was everywhere, they capped the difficulty with the sequel to make it as much accessible as possible while keeping the "it's so hard" feeling on it.
Come the next gen, Sony have Bloodborne up its sleeve to reforce the cycle, now the style is popular, people are more acceptable to the difficulty, and giving it a "take more risks to get more back" approach with it, the style bloomed its potential and popularity within it.
After that, going back to the already popular franchise and giving it an end, to let people remember the difficulty is not bound to the thematic and keep waiting for more, and open space for an even new one, and that's when comes Nioh. It goes all out with the difficulty, it capitalizes on "being harder than Dark Souls", and futher prepare gamers on experience pain and frustation, and that's why Deep Down is also on the limbo, so fans are even more frustated.
And that's where FF VII Remake comes just as well. Making people aware old JRPGs of the past can now be remade on full glory, but also making them experience long waits (FF XV anyone?) and frustation with the broke in pieces format, yes, frustation again.
Now, why make gamers experience that? So much frustation so they can achieve happiness of overcoming it? To prepare people for the new LoD.
Gamers are now with RPGs alive once again on their minds, are experienced in waiting and frustation, and now they like it, and are carving for more, and that's when Sony unveil the new LoD, after 20 years of wait and countless BraLoD's tears all over the world being shed, before FF 7 can be finished, and Sony take back the entire thing for itself, turn LoD on a long running franchise, and sells like there is no tomorrow, making Uncharted and Gran Turismo sales look like a walk in the park, and selling more PlayStations than Trump can build walls.
LoD is coming.
