Why would you even compare them with SotC or Journey? They are totally different experiences that should not be compared. TTYD is a lighthearted, charming story, it has it's radical twists and a very engaging narrative, characters don't need to have a dark background to be interesting. The characters and story in TTYD are excellent, they are not very mature, but they have a very distinctive charm to them, a charm that will make you follow their story with a strong passion. Just think about Vivian's relationship with her sisters, Bobery's backstory, Koops becoming a more mature turtle, Ms. Mowz mysterious personality and Tec's development as a machine who loves and feels. In Mario RPG, characters are also very funny and interesting, Geno has a very great design and an amazing determination, Mallow has the greatest development of them all. And as simple as the story is, it's really fun to follow. |
Well, yeah the RPG line would be the exception to this thread. I'm talking more along the lines of the mainstream games like Mario Tennis, Mario Party, Mario Kart, Super Mario 3D, Super Mario 2D.
But why wouldn't I compare them to SotC or Journey? What makes Mario so exempt from depth?
Apart from JWein's PoV, I haven't heard other legit ones yet, I'd like to hear yours.
Keep in mind Sal's post, it need not be a written story, it can be an unwritten story, told without words.
