Yeah. But I'm lazy to paste each image to name it. Also, all translations and spellings are my own and could differ significantly from whatever turns out to be the official translations.
The huge spiral city is Anole Rondo. The white ruins with a bridge leading to it is the Snow Ruins. The gravestone is the Tomb of the Sacred Blade. The monster with eggs on it is just listed as the Egg Carrier, and the undead knight is.... an Undead Knight. Lol. There are two other locations mentioned by people who actually have the issue of Famitsu, but I don't know which art pieces the names refer to and I don't want to guess: there's the Temple of the Undead, and the Demon's Altar.
As far as the storyline goes, I have a feeling that the game is going to be about an eternal eclipse of some sort. Not only is there an eclipse in the Dark Souls logo itself, but both the English and Japanese story taglines seem to indicate as such.
"In time, fire will fade... and only Dark will remain." In the Japanese preview, the storyline talks about how "But soon the fire will fade away, and only darkness will remain. Even now, the fire is fading, it no longer reaches the world of man, and the long night continues. Within each person, the mark of a dark curse is beginning to appear..."
It definitely sounds like the "fire" they speak of is the sun, and that something is going to block the light of the sun from the world, plunging it into darkness and giving rise to a dark curse across the land ala Demon's Souls. To add to that theory is the design of one of the NPC knights shown in the screenshots. He has the mark of the sun as his crest. Defintely an ongoing theme in the game imo.
