| sc94597 said: There were scifi elements before the end game. Such as the High Entia's technology interfacing with Melia's DNA. I'd say the game's themes were 20% Scifi. While it had fantasy tropes, and a hero story, there were also science fiction themes like the role of eugenics in creating a superbeing, looking toward space exploration (Egil and Arglas' conversation about the stars) and the role of replacing a body with machine (Fiora's plotline with her Machina body.)There were also a few other things here and there which had Scifi themes. Can you link that particular interview? Your theory is interesting though. I can see something like that happening, and it would both resolve the issue of a sequel while allowing the next game to be mostly new and fresh.

I reread the interview, and it turns out I was mixing information up between three similar interviews. One saying that he is working on his next game, one saying that the next game would focus on story like XC, and the most recent saying that if he ever gets the chance to work on another XC game, that it would have a strong narrative like the first. You can see where I got confused, but still it's my bad. The next game could not be a XC game at all going by the quotes. It's never directly said that his next game is a XC game, just that his next game is in developement and will be very different. Who knows.
