1.- Are you happy with the current locations? If not, why not? I am.
2.- Would you like further options available, such as a snowy island? I wouldn't mind them, but I'm kind of with Celen in thinking it'd take away from the actual changing of the seasons.
3.- Do you use the current non-main islands? If not, why not? One of my characters live on one of them, but aside from that, I don't utilise them much, no. Again, I'm with Celen in that most of them are very specialised and using them tends to make CR opportunities harder. If I don't play a non-athletic character it's hard to think of a reason for them to visit the sports island, for example. Additionally, Kiseki is so SoL most of the time that the setting tends to be more background decoration more than anything else, and it's easier to have characters run into each other and start talking "somewhere in the park idk" rather than one specific island A, location B.
4.- If it's the lack of appeal - what do you think would help make them better? What would make you want to use an extra area? I think Celen's idea of using the islands more for events is great!
5.- Would you support some of the current islands being merged together into a larger area with different locations/effects combined, so it's easier to abuse these, or are you happier with them each being its separate thing? Yes, I think merging them would make them easier to use - I know it happens occasionally as it is, but I tend to forget about it happening. I recently had a thread where the train ride was used for good dramatic effect (sorry, Bucky) but most of the time I think it mostly serves as an obstacle for the islands being used.
6.- Is there any specific type of location you'd like to have in the game and don't right now? None that I can think of. What Celen said about a creepy location here is neat, I think, but I'm equally lost on ideas on how to make that work.
7.- Any other feedback regarding these? If you do end up going with a new snowy island or what have you, I'll support that, as well as anything else you guys do. o/
