Why only 100 islands ?

[Nightsbane]

Why not infinite like Necesse ? Or is there a NG+ mechanic . I'm debating getting this game at some point in this timeline...

As someone who just beat the game 45 hours in, 100 islands feels like plenty! There's only so many types of spirits / plants so having more doesn't really feel necessary imo. It's a much different game than Necesse.

Truth be told i think 100 is already to much.
You saw one Burning Island you saw them all. Its not like there are any secrets hidden or something. I dont even bother looking for Mines anymore.

Mines are great for moonstones, the more moonstones the better.

The islands also aren't randomly generated (the placement of trees, etc. probably are though). It didn't take that long to find an identically shaped island, but with a different type associated with it. So an infinite sea of repeating islands would become a technical problem for them to solve.
