Hmm, until you posted that I was going to say prequel. The character fights a dragon, the one with the eye on his forehead, and if there are still real dragons I assumed it must be a prequel then, as they're all supposed to be gone, except for a few, by Dark Souls. Then again it could be a holdover or not a real dragon at all. I had originally heard it was not going to be related to the previous game at all storywise.
