| 0s | No, you can pet it and it comes up to you. You can look around for Stanley and you can literally just be like,"Stanley!" |
|---|---|
| 5s | And Stanley is like, "Oh, hey bud." |
| 8s | He's pretty stupid though because you kill him and then he comes back and you can kill him again. |
| 11s | Because he's stupid rabbit, you kill him? |
| 12s | I can't. |
| 19s | Hi everybody. |
| 20s | Welcome to Forged in Aeternum, where we talk about all things New World. |
| 23s | Today, I'm here with Charles and Katy, and we're going to talk about well, rather than say we're going to talk - |
| 28s | Recently this new guy, Lovan, asked me a question about what's your favorite zone in the world? |
| 33s | So I thought that be an interesting topic. |
| 36s | Charles, what's your - I know Katy's is First Light - so, Charles, let's get to you. |
| 39s | So much trouble right now, how dare you.. |
| 43s | Everybody loves First Light, what are you talking about? |
| 44s | Is this opposite day? |
| 45s | Okay, Katy, what's your favorite zone? |
| 47s | Okay, no, I want to start with Charles. |
| 50s | Oh, gosh. |
| 51s | Because the Art Director is gonna have an opinion in this. |
| 52s | Yeah, this is really interesting. |
| 54s | I like all the zones for many different reasons. |
| 58s | What's a favorite zone? |
| 59s | God, I like Mourningdale - it's one of the ones I really like, and particularly because of the rain. |
| 64s | That was sort of a different vibe and tone we really wanted to get in that zone. |
| 69s | It's sort of like, almost like, Scottish Highlands, like dreary atmosphere, |
| 73s | but it's sort of got like a crisp, I don't know, sharpness to the lighting and the way it's presented. |
| 77s | So that was a fun zone I think for us to set up and it feels very different when you get there. |
| 84s | So from an esthetic you like Mourning Dale How about from a gameplay? |
| 87s | Gameplay. |
| 88s | He's an artist. |
| 88s | He's like, where he still. |
| 89s | Plays is required to play the game. |
| 91s | And just I just think about the art. |
| 93s | I think another one is either Brightwood or Great Cleave |
| 97s | or really like the transition between those two zones because it's just like stark contrast. |
| 102s | And Brightwood, I think, aesthetically as you move through the zones, |
| 105s | Brightwood is where like a lot of the narrative starts to get really serious. |
| 108s | Not that it's before that, |
| 111s | but that's where like the stakes of what's happening in the world are much more apparent in the world. |
| 114s | Where you're sort of seeing this haunted, horrible stuff happening with all the Lost, |
| 119s | and you're moving up into where the snow is, and you're starting to see like the big wall with all the Corrupted that are taking over. |
| 125s | So you're seeing all these forces that are happening in the world sort of manifested, |
| 128s | you know, in a more serious way than than previous ones. |
| 132s | That's true. |
| 133s | And that's like the first time you see snow. |
| 135s | So that's really cool because if you happen to meander over to Mourningdale, |
| 139s | you see the rain and you kind of hear a little bit of rain in the other zones. |
| 142s | But that's the first time you see snow,and you think it's going to be like the holiday, and then it's murder. |
| 149s | Yeah, yeah. |
| 151s | I love that wall. |
| 152s | That would have been my spot too. |
| 155s | Because you can feel the Corruption pushing down, the corrupted pushing down and in the world kind-o-thing. |
| 159s | Like something really cool happened here. |
| 161s | And from a gameplay perspective, it was always fun early on to kind of go farm that area, you know, |
| 165s | going across back and forth on the wall, just getting Corrupted. |
| 170s | And there was a bunch of chests there and it was fun gameplay. |
| 171s | And I love, I love the snow and I really want to get us to do more with that, you know, in the long term. |
| 176s | Yeah. |
| 177s | Well, yeah, now that we have footprints in the sand andthe snow, like that's super cool. |
| 181s | Just the snow right now. |
| 182s | Well, I mean, yeah. |
| 184s | So we're going to get footprints all over the place, but that's - More appropriate. |
| 189s | Yeah, footprints were appropriate, exactly. |
| 192s | Yes, that's actually really funny. |
| 195s | There's a lot of like cool spaces out in the world to different zones. |
| 198s | Like I really like the Ebonscale zone because we interject the new theme with all the Dynasty stuff |
| 203s | and like the biomes and the music and everything, it's like a whole different vibe when you get there. |
| 208s | And that's where we really, I think, started to come into our own a little bit. |
| 212s | If felt like bringing other cultures into the world, because we had a lot of this sort of European-like cultural history, |
| 219s | but then Ebonscale was like, no, there's like a whole different group over here, |
| 222s | inspired by a bunch of stuff from a different area of the world. |
| 225s | And that, like, brings our world to life a little more. |
| 229s | Well, and this one won't be popular, I don't think. |
| 230s | But I really like - there's part of Cutlass Keys. |
| 232s | I just really, really like. |
| 234s | I love the music, the pirate vibe for a lot of it. |
| 238s | It's cool. |
| 239s | I know there's some long runs that make it like less than ideal and we'll get on those. |
| 244s | But I think that's a neat one. |
| 245s | I think we've left off one of the most unique zones in the game Eden Grove. |
| 250s | Because we didn't ask me. |
| 251s | Like, we when to Charles. |
| 252s | You deferred. |
| 253s | Because I wanted Charles to go first. |
| 255s | Katy, what's your favorite zone? |
| 256s | Thank you for asking. |
| 257s | So I have three because why have just one? |
| 262s | Why limit yourself in Aeternum? |
| 263s | Can we bring up a picture of Wikipedia's definition of favorite for Katy? |
| 266s | Go ahead. |
| 268s | First of all -. |
| 268s | I have these 13 favorites zones. |
| 270s | How dare both of you. |
| 271s | So my absolute favorite is Brimstone. |
| 276s | But I really love - for the reasons that you were talking about - |
| 280s | I love Ebone Scale, because it's your first time seeing a really different like vibe, right? |
| 286s | But I love Eden Grove because to me it's like a rave with monsters. |
| 290s | So I really like that place too. |
| 292s | No, it's true. |
| 293s | It's super colorful, it's really fun. |
| 295s | There's really good fishing. |
| 297s | And it's surrounded by kind of dreary scariness. |
| 301s | And then so, it's bright and colorful and really exotic, and I love that. |
| 305s | But Brimstone is so different that it can't, like, not be my favorite. |
| 311s | It is my favorite. |
| 312s | There's always something to do. |
| 315s | There are some long runs, but we have so many Shrines so I feel like I can just pop around really easily. |
| 321s | I love the scorpions. |
| 322s | I think that's so cool. |
| 324s | So that one's definitely my my number one. |
| 327s | I would say I have a funny tidbit of Eden Grove. |
| 329s | When we were designing that one, |
| 333s | I remember talking to the concept artist and some of the other artists about that because artists like the really dark, dreary, gross: |
| 336s | like, that's fun for artists. |
| 338s | But for that zone, I was like, |
| 342s | "Okay, take all the colors that you put in there and like amp up to 11 and get it to where you just think it's like ungrossly comfortable." |
| 345s | I love that. |
| 347s | The artists are like, "Oh my God, it's so colorful. |
| 350s | It's like Skittles threw up in here." And I was like, "Yes, that's exactly what we want!" |
| 352s | So, Restless Shores... |
| 356s | Rabbit Island. |
| 357s | I mean... |
| 358s | No, no. |
| 360s | Rabbit Island is the saddest thing ever. |
| 363s | I had that stupid Stanley quest - sorry quest team - |
| 367s | that stupid Stanley quest for like two months because you get the option to pet him. |
| 372s | You can pet the rabbit and then you kill it? Nah, dude. |
| 375s | But I'm also a completionist, so I eventually did kill the rabbit and then the ghost spawned. |
| 381s | It was all good. |
| 383s | I feel no remorse destroying all of those. |
| 386s | You're a monster. |
| 387s | They're computer-generated. |
| 388s | A monster. They come back to life. |
| 389s | There's no harm, no foul. |
| 390s | No. You can pet it and it comes up to you. |
| 393s | Like, you can look around for Stanley and you can literally just be like, "Stanley!" And Stanley is like, "Oh yeah bud." |
| 398s | He's pretty stupid though because you kill him and then he comes back and you can pet him and then kill him again. |
| 403s | So, because he's a stupid rabbit I can't even. |
| 404s | Like, even the audio, I remember talking to J-Ed about the the rabbits when you kill them. |
| 408s | I was like, "It needs to be this, like, pitiful sound. |
| 410s | So people feel bad when they kill the rabbit." Wow. |
| 413s | I don't know what this is, but it's crime. |
| 417s | Well, I think this has been super fun. |
| 419s | So at this point, let's ask the Community, you know, what's your favorite zone and why? |
