MapleStory 2 - 3rd cinematic

Jamesie Wrote:I disagree:

1) We have very little frame of reference on the Maple World. All we really have is that hundreds (thousands?) of years ago the Black Mage threatened the entire world. The heroes managed to seal him and a portion of the population left Ossyria for a prehistoric Victoria Island. In the years that follow Victoria Island urbanizes and becomes seemingly modern. The Maple World has cars and primitive televisions, not to mention they're capable of flight in various ways.

Ludus Lake has all sorts of interesting aspects: Ludibrium is frozen in time, Omega Sector is clearly more futuristic than Korean Folk Town, which appears more medieval. Leafre is less primitive than the two cities of the Nihal Desert, which may or may not be less primitive than Orbis and El Nath. All the meanwhile, Edelstein appears to be more technologically advanced than just about every other city/civilization in the Maple World. After all, Gelimer was able to make BMD.

There is no clear standard of technology. You have more futuristic (or realistic?) locations such as Kerning City, Showa Town, and New Leaf City, which all have electricity, and then you have very primitive locations such as Perion, Leafre, and Herb Town.

2) It's been stated a fair few times that the Maple World is just a dream of Rhinne (or was it just some generic Maple Goddess?), ready to be destroyed when she awakens. What's not to say this is just a different dream she's having?

1) Various differences and aspects are fine. But when you take a game and completely change everything it is and was it's more than just what it is visually. Maplestory is a 2d side scroller game. If you're going to make the jump to 3D that's fine. Numerous other games have done it. But the difference is games like Mario, and Zelda kept the same feel as what the game was. It was just Mario and Zelda in 3D. This is not MapleStory 3D. It's a brand new concept all together.

2) I don't think that's all true because then Rhinne woke up. See here: https://maplelore.wordpress.com/?nxid=6 for the lore. We know a large deal of the Maple World actually. We don't know much of it's past but it's present is pretty clear.
