The Backstory of Demon and Damian
#21
Out of all the "borrowed" World Tour areas that KMS has done a good job mainstreaning, I'd say that only Kerning Square and Golden Temple have done a good job, in terms of making sense where they're located, worthy quests/experience, etc.

Other than that, I'm still unsatisfied with many areas. Neo City has gone through a few revamps, but they're all boring. Why not scrap Neo City, which doesn't make sense at all, and give us Neo Tokyo at Zipangu? I also dislike the loss of Kaede Castle for the new Sakura Castle Book thingy. Instead of building into a big area like Zipangu, they take away content and add it in a way that doesn't make freaking sense.

Unwelcome Visitor event was cool as pineapple, all it needed was some tweaks to bring it back as an event, or a permanent PQ/Area. Old GMS Masteria was also cool as pineapple, the city, the forest, the maps, fell down a map? GO BACK MOTHERpineappleER! That all was fun, all it needed was a tweak for today's game difficulty standards.

Instead of that, they bastardized Masteria, bastardized Unwelcome Visitor, and mashed them together into a glitchy, poorly scripted, badly written area, which was always full of hackers due to the broken alien experience, and since now that's gone, it's dead as a tomb now, all remains is the crappy content. Nebulites were totally random, and Nexon had no idea what to do with them. They dropped like candy and then almost disappeared from the game.

While I'm ranting at it, it's nice that Henesys and its surrounding maps finally got a well deserved makeover, but now that we even have widescreen resolutions, why are most town maps still the horrible cluttered versions that we got at Big Bang? There should be more places to hang out and admire the scenario, now everything is cluttered by NPCs, which causes lag and looks awful. Decide if "World Tour" areas are part of the Maple World, or alternate dimensions like Zipangu and Singapore, and it that's the case, just add another dimensional portal in Six Path Crossroad, which leads to Asia: Zipangu, Kaede Castle, Momojijgdkmkkicockz, Showa, Neo Tokyo, CBD, Boat Quay Town, Ulu City, etc...

Back on topic, Nexon Korea should just decide for a version of things and stick to it, and work for an awesome area for all versions.

Either Masteria is in Ossyria, or somewhere near Kerning. Not both.

Speaking of theme dungeons, why did KMS have to make one out of Ninja Castle? *Rhetorical question* Why couldn't they have just used that Monastery from ChinaMS?

I wish we got the Monastery from CMS. I think thats the only one KMS hasnt mainstreamed yet.
I wanted Taipei 101 though. I was never interested in having kerning square.

You have the strangest standard if you think Golden Temple was a good borrowed area.

Because Neo Tokyo makes so much more sense. At least Neo City ties to tie it to the Black Mage in some capacity.

Why does the Black Mage have to be the cause for everything?

Well he kinda is the main villain, poorly written in one area and written well in another.

Yea, but it wouldn't hurt to have some other external reasons? I wouldn't mind if the Black Mage weren't the only source of trouble and I'm not seeing Darmoor anywhere else. Come on, he can't be the only source of evil in this game.

Not denying it's poorly written and I agree we need some other reasons. Heck another big evil maybe some kind of war between the two and the maple world is caught in the middle. That would be fun

Isn't Magnus technically another source of evil in Heliseum. I know he's an ex-comannder of the Black Mage but he pretty went "pineapple Ya'll Ima take everyone down!"

Magnus is apparently back with the Black Mage in Kritias, leading commander invasions alongside Von Leon, Arkarium, and Hilla.

Just what the hell is his deal?

I suppose he guns for the one with the most power.

Aren't the Black Mage and Darmoor working together to fuse the Maple world and the Nova World so they can become the Transcenders of both worlds?. So, the Black Mage is the Light, Darmoor Life and Zero was offered to be Time.

I read something about Maple World and Grandis fusing together, but the Black Mage doesn't strike me as the type to work together with another evil overlord.....

Since Maplf hasn't translated chapter 3 yet and seeing I had spare time, I did it!

Images are very large so that is why I uploaded it on my blog. It might load slow on your PC depending on your internet connection.
Have fun reading.

And we're still missing an actual meeting in game between Demon and Damian. The best we got was, "Hey, isn't that..."

Does the comic end here? Seems like everything from hereon would be Demon's story questline.

Well the 3rd chapter does explain a lot of what is missing in game...

I feel kinda bad for damien. Guess he was tricked and became corrupted from ark after agreeing?

The Arkarium storyline and Tera Forest tells us that it's impossible to go back in time past the point where the Black Mage was sealed.

So I'm wondering, might it be possible to convince Daimen of this, and thus, recruit him as a new playable chara- I mean, class?
