Talk:The Element Chronicles II: Fall of the Rise/@comment-26135418-20150801144359/@comment-26135418-20150801200754

It is! And the subtitle IS cool! A little confusing when I didn't know what the Rise was, but then I found out.

It is interesting to think about how an evolving, progressing world with MAGIC would use magic while advancing technology. Very cool. (I'm getting the feeling I should play Xenoblade, but I'm not a fan of Wii controls. Maybe it will be easier to play on the Wii U.)

But I was thinking: if you DID have the Rise fail no matter what the player chooses: it would be novel for a game. (And I think most players would choose to help the Element-based Industrial Revolution.) Increasingly in games the player is the one who Decides (for the world), and that doesn't always happen.

Especially with Big Changes that conflict with Religion.

One of the hardest things to do is get people to accept change. Maybe that could be part of the pro-Rise postgame quest: Diplomatically helping gods and influential people accept the Rise.

But, if you have a third game, history will have been written, so the Rise had to succeed or fail. And I hope you do have a third game. And I hope I can help Zyr in it. :) (Sorry, I just love that type of character.)
