This whole discussion also seems to forget that Seath never had a Great Soul: as an Everlasting Dragon, he was only granted a shard of Gwyn's. The actual fourth Great Soul, the Dark Soul, belonged to the Furtive Pygmy. I am not saying that the parallels between DS1 and DS2 are not there, they's just not as straightforward as they seem.
