So the Summer Games Fest is coming up this weekend and I think that Neowiz is going to announce the Lies of P sequel, so here's the top things I want to see when the game comes out;
The Wild West 'aesthetic. ' I know that Pinocchio is based in Italy and LoP is based on Belle Epoque which is French, but I don't care about that, I just want to see Dorothy on horseback. I wanna see rural Kansas deserts with the fantastical vibes of the Wizard of Oz. It would be magnificent!!
To add onto my previous statement, I kinda hope Dorothy has a strong southern/Midwestern accent. Realistic? Probably not. I doubt they'll do it. But still...
Listener Lore. I just want to see more cool stuff relating to Ergo! I'm not sure if the sequel is going to have a new type of 'souls' leveling materials, but if it's Ergo, I'd love to see more expansions on the Listeners and where they came from.
Giangio. I think this is a given based on the secret ending of Lies of P, but I NEED him to be a boss fight or something.
Lea as the tinman. Delusional? Maybe. But I think it'd be cool. There are a couple of other candidates (i.e. the puppet, Camille Geppetto, maybe a secret third option) but I miss Lea already.
No 'super girly' aesthetic. Souls-likes are usually super gritty and gross, and I'm honestly PRAYING that they don't make the game into some sort of anime esque girly game with a lighthearted tone and bikini armor just because Dorothy is a woman. Lies of P has done an excellent job of writing women so far, and I'd hate it if they switched up now.
On the flip side, I DO want cute dresses. I just want the game to be gross and gory and soulsborne WITH pretty gowns I can kill people in. That'd be great.
Lots of girls. I feel like this is just a personal thing, but I'd love it if Dorothy wasn't the only girl in the story like she is in the book.
Anyway, there are some of my first asks!! Probably ridiculous in some way, but I have HIGH expectations. (And I'm REALLY hoping Neowiz doesn't use any AI in the development. They're so good about listening to their player base. I need them to lock in.)
