Except for the name, Hogwarts Legacy has been a known quantity since 2018. Some leaked footage came out before quickly getting scrubbed online. Since💜🗹 it was uploaded the first time this means it will never truly go away. Comparing its footage and this official reveal trailer is an article in and of itself.
Anyway, that aside let’s go through the many layers of this reveal to theorize what exactly fans will be doing in Hogwarts Legacy. As a brief note, this is not the first RPG adaptation. The second movie game, on the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Game Boy Color, and the third movie game, on the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Game Boy Advance, are turn✱ed-based RPGs reminiscent of Golden Sun. For those wanting a Harry Potter RPG experience to pla🧜y in the meantime, track those down.
10 The Setting
It’s hard to see the first time but in the bottom right corner of the screen when the carriage is flying to Hogwarts, it say♛s “Late 1800s.” The stories involving Harry Potter take place in the 1990s whereas the Fantastic Beasts films take place in the 1920s. This means the team🅷 is giving themselves a lot of leeway to work with from the established lore. This will be less confusing for fans.
9 Create A Character
It 🌠is hard to reallyꩲ know when the main character is on screen, but based on the trailer one can at least guess they appear throughout it in various forms.
Characters can be different genders, races, and even enter varying school houses. This is an open-world game with RPG elements after all. The zoom in on the owl on the carriage might also indicate players can choose a pet. Maybe it will💫 always be an owl though which would also be fine.
8 Mid-Studies Character
On the subject of the carriage, one might also be able to deduce that players will come into Hogwarts as the semester is already in session. This is similar to how the protagonist of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Persona games always enter their school years. Why? Well, first years always go by boat. After that, they ღcan take these flying carriages starting from the second year all the way to the seventh. The player is also alone without other new kids joining them which backs up this late arrival theory.
7 Mystery Tower
On the subject of the school itself, the grounds and school mostly look familiar. There is one place that is a mystery though. There is a tower not connected to the school with a winding path going up it in the very back. Maybe this place was demolished in the 1800s as referenced by the books in a sm❀all instance. It could also just be a new area unique for the game.
6 The Great Hall
The Great Hall also looks familiar from the films. However, there are two new elements. First of all the plain windows from the films are now stained glass windows that represent each house. The tables have cloths representing each house too. On th💞e subject of this area, the late arrival theory can also be backed up here. Everyone else in attendance has seen the Sorting Hat and is already dressed compared to the player.
5 Quidditch Anyone?
No one is ever shown playing Quidditch in the trailer. However, there is a shot of two students, presumably one being the player, about to start or at least hop on brooms. As this is an RPG, one can expect mini-games. Hopefully, Quidditch will be added like Blitzball was implemented in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Final Fantasy X.
4 PersonaWarts
Going 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:back to Persona, that initial thought may not be far off from how this game wor🔯ks. The trailer talks about students managing bonds with others, showing players go through various activities from classrooms to just sitting around. It is a great premise to emulate for a game based on the Harry Potter universe. No one has really copied Atlus in this way yet so it’s about time.
3 Mounts And The Open World
The trailer both talks about and shows players going out of the 🌳wall of Hogw🌺arts. This is clearly an indication that the game will be open in some regard.
Maybe the opportunities aren’t as prevalent as most games in the genre but the world is there. Plus there are mounts. A🦹lso, it’s easy to miss but three brief seconds show Hogsmeade in the trailer.
2 Tomb Raider
Persona is seemingly not the only game Hogwarts Legacy is emulating. There are brief scenes showing players exploring caves and underground passageways. This could mean there are crypts below Hogwarts to explore and solve like in the newer Tomb Raider games. Maybe these puzzles are tied to dungeons too, again, bringing it 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:back to Persona.
1 Go Evil?
Houses can be chosen. That much is for sure. What isn’t known yet is if this game will have 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a Mass Effect-⛄like morality system. That said, the trailer might indicate that students could go an evil route. In the fight against the dragon breaking free, the bottom right corner shows a masked man aiding the player. Maybe the skull masks aren’t all evil, but this c🌼ould point to students being able to go a different path.
