Different game

[Elvoc]

Is this a completely different game than the original Doom & Destiny or just an enhanced redone version?

I believe they've labeled this as a prequel/sequel kind of thing. As in, it's supposed to be a prequel, but it's also a "sequel" because it's "Doom and Destiny *Advanced*" lol
But, I could be mistaken. Pretty sure I read that on one of the Devs posts, though.

So the plot line is different? The screenshots I've seen so far seem to be all from the origional plotline.

According to the main page, it's a Prequel, a Sequel, and a reboot of the original game, so you odn't have to have played that one.

Well that doesnt help if i already payed for the first one and its just a polished remake?

It most certainly is not a polished remake...
Please read the description of the game on it's store page.
This has way too many newer features to even begin to call a polished remake.
FF6 on Steam is a polished and uglier remake of FF6 the GBA version.

It combined the original into essentially a triology. While adding and modifying it.

i understand, I just think if this game actually includes the original then there should be a discount for us that already own it, because like you said earlier if this is the original game with so much more than why would we even play the original.

You make a good point. My bad about that.

No, this game is much different than the original. One thing I will say (that I hope doesn't deter you from playing) is that with Do&De, I liked how the game looked. I was hoping that the characters would either look the same, or somewhat similar. But, the whole character animation was entirely different... almost like it was rushed. Also, the storyline doesn't seem to be anywhere near the first game... although there are references. All I can say... going from the original to advanced... if you're like me... you'll feel hesitant as hell at first, but you'll grow to love it.

Well, it's more The Prequel, the original, and the Sequel all rolled into one.

Honestly, I can't really think of any overlap between the original besides a similar (abit different) stat system, the same characters (with different classes), and some of the games look...

The world somewhat overlaps with before, but only somewhat (as in world map)

Think of this more of a divergent timeline scenario than either a prequel or sequal

The blurb on the store page says it's a combination of the Prequel, the Original, and the Sequel all in one.
So, it may overhaul the system and the story, but it's not a divergent timeline.

Ive played the story the way that it overlaps is pretty much the very initial setup... then it goes off...

The whole game is about divergent timelines being brought together through the void

Hence the small army of yous
