What does sci-fantasy mean? (Destiny)
Does it mean that Destiny is a sci-fi or a fantasy game or that Destiny is a blend of these two like Shadowrun?
-
Star Wars, the more obscure parts of the Elder Scrolls.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Wolverfrog I do like a bit of sci-fantasy when it's done right, but there's a very thin line to walk - too advanced and you get explanations for all the magical things which shouldn't be explained (midichlorians, anyone?) but too fantastical and the science fiction feels shoe-horned in.[/quote] What are midichlorians? /prequelsneverhappened

I'm guessing fantasy backed up with science as an explanation, nothing stupid like, "That dern horse right der can fly!"

It could be similar to Final Fantasy, where they mix sci-fi and fantasy style, but Bungie would be adding the FPS. Still nothing is confirmed yet.

Destiny would be a blend. Sci-fantasy includes common fantasy elements fixed with common science fiction elements to create something new. 40k, as ROBERTO mentioned above, takes the classic fantasy races (minus the dwarves) and sticks them in space. Star Wars takes wizardry powers and introduces them to space creating the Jedi. I would expect to see some fantasy race analogues in the game or some form of magic, but that is just me.

Yes, like 40K and Star Wars as well. A blend of both science fiction and fantasy. [Edited on 05.22.2012 4:41 AM PDT]
