Re: What cool idea was wasted on a bad/unworthy story?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, exactly! I thought it could be escapism from real world drudgery or problems for some, for others, just the enjoyment of playing games, or because they had friends doing it. While escapism is maybe a little obvious as a theme for a story about a video game, it's also so relevant. I've had MMO addictions before, and the sensation of accomplishing something that's measured in experience points when life outside just feels messy and complicated is a real thing, and it would be cool to explore that from a more mature, psychological standpoint. Plus, it's SUCH a cool opportunity to bring a diverse cast of players together. Like, so many ages and backgrounds all equalized in the game to presumably look around the same age. I get if it goes too deep, you're changing the target demographic, but a more serious take on the story would've been sooo cool.

Also, I wish the reveal at the end would've been done so much better in regards to whether or not people actually die if they die in-game. They briefly teased the idea that maybe these people didn't actually die (I think with the assassin lady in the anime?). That would've been really cool to play into more to try to convince the audience, to set up hope that deceased characters might actually be okay... and then the protagonist waking up in a hospital bed and finding it all was real after all would've been a lot more chilling.
