After all, the ring was in DS1 and used in that game too, so Lordran also fits the criteria for that. A good point, I noticed it after EpicNameBro pointed it out in his Lost Bastille video. Also, regarding  Hidetaka Miyazaki that Volknur pointed out, I may be looking to far into this but in the opening cinematic the reflection in the lake doesn't seem to match the landscape. Possibly since we entered the vortex/portal we are now in the "south pole" of Lordran, whereas the first game was in the "north pole" of Lordran, again I could be wrong and it could be a skewed angle making it seem like the reflections don't match.
