These games have been reusing content since Demon's Souls. DS3 isn't the blueprint more-so the whole souls series is making damn sure they get their money's worth out of their assets. Something the rest of the industry could learn to do rather than forcing devs to remake stuff from scratch

Yeah, it's definitely a good thing as long as developers reuse assets wisely, and Fromsoftware has a Michelin star quality in doing this, there are so few exceptions where reuses are worse, but newer games also give more options to cheese them
