    I feel like it's going to be one of those "gray area" situations where both sides are trying to achieve something based on their beliefs and it just so happens that one side's beliefs contradict with the other. Kinda like the plot for sonic and the black knight or like this part of "Open your heart" from Sonic Adventure:
    "You and I are same in the way that
    We have our own styles that we won't change
    Yours is filled with evil and mine's not
    There is no way I can lose"

    While the Cyberspace Stages look like narrow hallways, I feel that instead of spreading the paths out on the X Axis, I think they are going back to the Top, Bottom and Middle path system. I could be wrong, but after rewatching the footage multiple times, I have come to this conclusion.

    I think it's gonna be something like Sonic and the Black Knight. By this mysterious new worlds standards Sonic is technically the villain and sage is probably the "guardian" of that world but Sonic knows that something fishy is going on and only wants to save his friends so he's temporarily pretending to be the "bad guy" in order to do what's right. He also seems to be corrupted because as you can see his arm starts to glitch at one point in the trailer.

    I saw the new Sonic Frontiers story trailer today, and it was kinda weird that Sage identified Sonic as a threat. I still think Sage is the real bad guy in the game though. Sonic would never do anything to harm anyone or the world.
    But since Sage only attacks Sonic because she thinks he's bad, does that mean she's actually a good guy too???🤔

    I don't think Sonic will be the bad guy. (At least, I hope not... it would just *suck* if the game ended on the twist that Sonic's VR actions doomed the real world.) Instead, I think there'll be a misunderstanding that he'll have to fix. Perhaps Eggman convinced SAGE that Sonic was the enemy, forcing Sonic to use his own empathy and kindness to convince her of the Doc's true intentions? Would echo _Sonic 2_ and the comics quite nicely... and, based on how the real world is going, it's a message that's more timely than it ever has been before.

    “Your reckless actions in danger the world” he is looking for his friends in the starfall islands, so it could be that to save his friends, he could indirectly in danger the world, or maybe SAGE has a second motive, not saying that what she said at first is a lie, but maybe it also has a bit of selfishness too. (Cough) maybe asorbed tails to gain his itelect and is afraid that sonic will hate them, and tails will change SAGE for the better (cough)
    Anyway…

    • @Du-yw1pz
      @Du-yw1pz 2 роки тому

      I think that line will possibly foreshadow Sonic acting out of control from the red glitchy corruption consuming his body. Due to how we saw it on his hand corrupting him when he was facing off Sage in one scene of the trailer. And i think this might also lead to a new evil form of Sonic in which the darkness will consume his soul and body causing him to wreak destruction and havoc on the islands. (I hope that will happen tbh) Because it would be nice to see Sonic become the villain this time around, though unintentionally

    Like Noah said, I don't blame people for wanting to separate the story from the gameplay. It is something you realize with time, and as games get more complex, you start seeing that each has as much importance as the other. That said, I think this Sonic game specifically is going to be the one who's going to rely the most on the lore, aside titles that actually make it almost a means to (like The Dark Brotherhood). I hope the gameplay to be meaningful in terms of progression so we'll get the most out of this seemingly new world.

  • @Du-yw1pz
    @Du-yw1pz 2 роки тому

    I think the reason why Sonic might be the "bad guy" or the "problem" is because the corruption that was on his hand and arm could slowly be taking over his body and consuming it with evil, thus causing him to spiral out of control and to later cause destruction hence Sage saying "Your reckless actions will endanger the world" which will foreshadow that i think.

    @ModBros8434 2 роки тому

    I'm not sure how relevant this is to the video, but the discussion of whether Sonic should be in a realistic environment is an interesting one. An obvious answer might be no, because he's a cartoon character, who would look out of place in a realistic world. However, if that's the case, why would a game like Mario Odyssey be able to have a realistic world? Well, the reason it was done in that game was to intentionally make Mario seem out of place, to invoke the feeling that one gets when they're traveling to an unusual place. For any design decision such as this, what the choice is trying to achieve and how well it does that are both important factors in determining whether it's a good decision. Thus, the question of whether Sonic should have a realistic artstyle should be judged on a case-by-case basis.
