LoL and Legaia 2 -CONFIRMED- to be different worlds.

[K73SK]

Sise-Neg pointed me to a very interesting interview with the director of Duel Saga. The very first question in the interview, the director confirms the first and second games on completely different worlds which happen to have continents both named Legaia.

Many of us, including myself, would have loved to imagine the game on the same world, even if we were skeptical about some situations - we had imagination of making it work. But since the design was originally mentioned to be on completely different worlds...Obviously this wouldn't work out! Here's the quote from the question:

Question: Can you give a little of the story background for Legaia 2? Does the game continue with Vahn or is this a new story with new characters?

Natsumi: The name, Legaia continent, is the same name as the continent in Legend of Legaia but the story in Legaia 2 Duel Saga takes place in a completely different world.

There is a village called Nohl in a remote region of the Legaia Continent that depends on a magical crystal called the Aqualith. All of a sudden, this Aqualith is stolen by a man known as Gold Eyes. A young villager of Nohl named Lang sets off on a journey to recover the Aqualith. During his journey, he realizes his hidden powers and the situation takes an unexpected and unbelievable turn.

DISCUSS YOUR DISAPPOINTMENT (or relief)!!!

It might. Be one of the stage of loss.... But I refuse to believe this... Perhaps he means it figuratively? Besides the seers in the lab and the basic fact that they look the o.c of legaia 1?! It's madding

Meh, just Easter eggs for fun. Many games do this kind of thing.

Sadly they do....I feel like he said those thing to mess w/ our heads.... Since everything is indirect in this conversation

Is this guy Japanese? If he is it could just be a mistake in translation.

Yes, the director is a Japanese man named Natsumi Arisawa. He came up with the character designs for Vahn, Noa and Gala (as well as some others) and was in charge of animation for the first game. The original director didn't return, so Arisawa, president of Prokion, became the head director for Duel Saga.

Anyway, I don't think it's an error in translation. His response makes it clear that LoL and Duel Saga are on different planets by saying that LoL and Duel Saga both have a continent called Legaia, yet he adds the 'but...' in his response, showing that there is a difference there. If they were the same world he could have simply said, "Yes they're both set in the same world."

Well that means that Legaia 3 will only be in one of the worlds. But which one?

[Redhollowlives999]

perhaps a cross-dimension one?

Hmm, Are we sure of the meaning? Sometimes a different world could simply mean a different time period? I know its a longshot but its not out of the question. If you took someone on Earth from 100 years ago, and placed them in the present, they would look at the world as being not their own, too.

Wishful thinking most likely
