Because in Elden Ring you are a part of Marika to get a power from already week demigods to make her wishes. And in Dark Souls 3, you was reborn by some will of that dying world, because persons which was responsible for saving this world doesn't do this. So you, previously useless being, in desperate, without a lot of help, need to find the right path, and defeat ancient gods and monsters, and try to fix this world. So yeah, Dark Souls 1 and 3 main themes are pretty hapless.

Even now there are only embers, and man sees not light, but only endless nights. And amongst the living are seen, carriers of the accursed Darksign. From minute 1, the game is screaming at you that Everything Is Not Fine. You're trapped in a ruined asylum that looks like it hasn't seen a janitor in centuries, with starved, barely clothed corpses shambling the halls, a literal Demon patrolling the main hall and the only "normal"-looking person dies of unspecified causes literal minutes after giving you the key to your cell and the Estus Flask. We must have played completely different games, I think, because nothing in DS1 says Fine. Kaathe just offers an alternative solution to the Everything Sucks problem.
DS3: You are the last hope for this world. Not a hope to save what it was, but merely a hope that there will be a tomorrow at all. Elden Ring: AND HERE COMES THE FIRST ELDEN LORD WITH THE STEEL CHAIR!!!
Bloodborne: Water closes over your head. […] shapes emerge from the murk. This pit is a graveyard of wrecks. Air tickles out your nose. Your candle has not guttered - if anything, it burns more merrily in the water. […] You feel no need to breathe. Not yet. Elden Ring: DIVESTED OF HIS GRACE, FIRST ELDEN LORD, AND WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION… SIR GOOOODDDDFREEEEEYYYY!!!
Dark souls sounds like someone fighting for their life desperately clinging onto the humanity they have left Bloodborne sounds like utter despair And elden ring sounds like a new beginning, one where despite the hardships you'll face that you will continue to rise to greater heights and claim what's rightfully yours
Dark souls 3's main menu was a boss theme (old king of the eclipse, being sulyvahn's model) so it really just sounds like, well a boss theme, I think that one is just coincidence to be what you feel it sounds like
The other two: you are about to get fucked up physically, mentally, and emotionally. Elden Ring: You are the big boss here. YOU are going to do the fucking up. This is YOUR adventure.
Elden ring always gets me pumped. It sounds like like a heroic theme but not like a superhero, like anti hero kinda theme, where you're doing things, but you're not sure if there are the right things
Dark souls 2 has to be my favorite, it begins with the words “morte et dabo” which means Dead and Gone. The song also have this sad feeling to it, just like giving up.
When you hear the brutality and desperation of DS3's main menu theme and the somber regret and creepiness of Bloodborne's followed immediately by Elden Ring's ambitious and encouraging bombast, the contrast gets even more insane. I literally got chills. It's like the very main menu theme is already screaming at you: ''Not only *can* you do this. You *will* do this!'' Such a drastic difference in tone set right from the beginning.
Elden Ring Theme Is So Good The Theme Is Even Symbolise Us Players Like In Main Menu It Is Told *RISE, TARNISHED* And When We Fight Radagon At The End He Falls Down As Marika And Rises Up Changes As Radagon By Picking The Golden Hammer And The Theme Kicks In 🔥🔥🔥
DS3 could be better described as “A desolate of chaos and elegance fighting against time. This is because the use of the bells as they transition with the eerie yet beautiful harmony and the violin solo all being cut at the end with a bell. The bells signify time and it’s started the song and ended it like a ticking clock.
Elden Ring is the first Souls game where you’re actually kinda your own hero and not a pawn of some higher being. You’re not mending the Elden Ring because some higher being told you to. You’re mending it of your own ambition.
DS3: dying, but still desperate to fight back. Bloodborne: hopeless, wasted, no life left. Elden Ring: ambitious, motivational, risen, ascended once again.
I feel like one of the main reasons elden ring gets hate is because unlike the other soulsborne games, theres actually hope for a better beginning. Its more colourful and more vibrant than the others for sure
Dark souls: silent, a world once possible full of life now empty and dead. Dark souls 2: slow, lost and wandering. A tranquil yet sad and hollow piano. Bloodborne: The pain and regret of past sins once hidden being forcfully brought to light. The pain of the world now open like picked scab. Dark souls 3: A world that clings to its last days finally dying, only for one to try and bring it back. A final send off to a world of fire, only for it to leave with a shudder. Elden ring: A jorney of hardship, struggle and death. Only to fight once more and claim that which you have earned through your own blood, sweat and tears.
The DS3 menu theme was originally meant for the final boss, back when it was still Pontiff Sulyvahn, but after reworked the structure of the game they didn’t have a place for it anymore so they just stuck it on the main menu.
all the others, the world is beyond saving, all you can do is claw your way to a position in power and hope that you live ling enough to satisfy yourself. but elden ring, in elden ring you still have a chance. you literally are the *hero.* in the other games, you're just a witness of the aftermath.
Dark Souls 3 main menu: "why are we still here? Just to suffer? Bloodborne main menu: "why are we still here? Just to suffer?" Elden Ring main menu: "Rise now ye tarnished! Ye death! And brandish the Elden Ring! To become, Elden Lord. . . .
Well yeah, a main theme’s job is to convey the main theme of a story. FromSoftware’s music is always legendary so it’s no surprise their main themes are god-tier.
Elden ring being the first souls game that has a world that isn't to far gone where you actually can make a difference just really matches the opening theme.
demon souls and elden ring: their themes sound like medieval marching songs. likewise they depict recent wars, or nations still at war, and that we are also fighting the ruling monarch, who’s the final boss. these 2 themes also start the same, and employs both drums and strong vocals. dark souls: it’s a restful song that prepares you when you press start or soothes you when you angrily quit, basically an auditory representation of a bonfire. dark souls 2: it’s a lonely and a bit scary, but hopeful tune. i still think it’s basically the majula’s theme but filled out with more notes. it basically capture your journey, the essence of bearer seek seek lest. bloodborne: it sounds like a very passionate funeral song. likewise, yharnam is a corpse that is being bled for profit and power. the track has a few unnerving and intense moments, but no sharp jumpscares, and their ethereal sound is more in line with bloodborne’s subtle, conceptual and cosmic horrors. dark souls 3: it sounds like a finale (in symphonic/orchestral terms), or a swansong (as ds3 is also a swansong of the series). basically, think about how intense the end of freebird is compared to its start. basically the phrase “going out with a bang” but in song form. sekiro: the main menu theme reminds me of songs played to honor past sacrifices while also making you more patriotic. i don’t remember what this type of music is called, but it’s fitting because ashina is fresh off a war and is going into a new one, and war is both genichiro and sekiro’s motivation. also as messed up as it sounds, but sekiro is also most alive in the peak of battle, or in wartime, so maybe that’s why the theme is both ethereal and funereal with intense moments weaving in and out. the string, violin sounding instrument also weaves in and out of the wind, flute sounding instrument, kind of like a duel. all this is to say that yuka takamura is amazing. as of now she left fromsoft, but she composed some of the best music ever, and is certainly one of the greatest of all time
Fun Fact, Elden Ring wasn't the first fromsoft gam to have the Main menu theme be the final boss's theme. in Ds3 Pontiff Sullivan was going to be the original final boss of the game and his theme is the main menu music
Elden Ring: “ Wake the Fuck up Samurai. We have a tree to burn.”

dark souls 3: it sounds like a finale (in symphonic/orchestral terms), or a swansong (as ds3 is also a swansong of the series). basically, think about how intense the end of freebird is compared to its start. basically the phrase “going out with a bang” but in song form.
sekiro: the main menu theme reminds me of songs played to honor past sacrifices while also making you more patriotic. i don’t remember what this type of music is called, but it’s fitting because ashina is fresh off a war and is going into a new one, and war is both genichiro and sekiro’s motivation. also as messed up as it sounds, but sekiro is also most alive in the peak of battle, or in wartime, so maybe that’s why the theme is both ethereal and funereal with intense moments weaving in and out. the string, violin sounding instrument also weaves in and out of the wind, flute sounding instrument, kind of like a duel.
all this is to say that yuka takamura is amazing. as of now she left fromsoft, but she composed some of the best music ever, and is certainly one of the greatest of all time
Other Soulsborne games: I'm fighting for my life over here!
Elden Ring: I'm fighting for a better life than the one I've been living.
Fun Fact, Elden Ring wasn't the first fromsoft gam to have the Main menu theme be the final boss's theme.
in Ds3 Pontiff Sullivan was going to be the original final boss of the game and his theme is the main menu music
