Long term KF project

[Holy_Diver]

Just like to ask, you've not mentioned Merlin, will you be adding him in? Im not sure why 'Merlin' is involved maybe the story writer thought the name was interesting, not knowing that the name Merlin is almost always associated with legends of King Arthur.

Is Merlin in one of the Agetec games? I don't think there is anyone named that in From's games. There is a Merlin like character who I don't think ever appears named Orladin, but I could easily be wrong about that.

But now that you mention it. While it was fresh in my head I just drew up a compact for a spinoff series called X (https://en.\<span> site blocked, contact your administrator/wiki/King%27s_Field_Episode_IV:_Epilogue) which features Excalibur per the Frostbite and Firebrand back story. Which I will say flat out just to be clear, I just called it Excalibur for lack of a ‎  better idea, and because I think its cute for the KF universe to have some similarities to human culture. So that it looks a little bit artificial. I wouldn't be opposed to rejiggering the name of Excalibur and "Black Dragon Arthur" but I think the basic concept works well, and Arthur could just be a coincidence if not Excalibur.

But in X it takes place in the same universe of these games, but after magic is just about utterly erased from the universe. So all of the stories in the 9 game cycle would take place before the dawn of history. This is pretty much the same way the Elric saga and spinoffs work, which bear many similarities to KF. X is just an umbrella title for any number of dime store games that play by its basic rules.

Anyway I mention it because it features a literal King Arthur. So it would have Merlin too if you wanted to literally set a game in that period. But it also has a multiverse structure, so in theory Arthur to could be different, or non-existent. The sword Excalibur was regifted to Arthur basically, so it existed first in the KF cycle. Presumably the lady of the lake would be Milia or Elfos depending on how you wanted to play it if you really wanted to go there.


Disclaimer: I want to stress by the way, that I am just picking up the ball and running with it. I am committed to working on the game play mechanics I want to see implemented. But if you can make a better story, by all means do so. I won't get in the way. Its literally whoever wants it the most, and to be honest I really don't want it, but I know better than to not strike while the iron is hot. And someone has to do these things I reckon.

EDITED: And just to be clear, I am not challenging anyone to make a better sequence of events from scratch, though you can do that too. You are welcome, no encouraged, to walk all over anything presented here. In short I'd definitely prefer to see people just reworking these ideas, since they are my ideas, and I've never had an idea I don't like. But I will bow before you too if you can pull something better out of thin air.
