Proposal:

Add more title screen backgrounds.

Details/background on this proposal

If this gets added, the title theme and background would be randomized every time you join the game.

Examples
  • The original theme would play with Dawn Island in the background (current theme)

  • The sailing theme would play with a brig sailing towards the sunset in the background

  • Cirrus Island’s theme will play with it in the background

  • Port Mistral before the attack (would only show if you’ve reached the Nimbus Sea story)

  • Dawn Island but it’s not raining and there’s a sunrise

  • Elm Island with Edward Kenton sitting on the dock fishing

  • (rare) The logo would be light yellow with Elysium in the background

  • (rare) The darksea theme would play, and the logo would be purple with a random darksea island in the background (would only show if you’ve visited the darksea)

  • (rare) Poseidon’s temple in Mount Othrys (would only show after you’ve awakened)

An alternative would be to make it like World of Magic where one theme plays and the background changes every few seconds.

Reason to add/change

Looking at the same title screen every time gets dull after a while and I think this would make it more interesting.

Edit: Certain themes would only show after you’ve visited their respective island.

Maybe have the backgrounds “unlock” after going to the given location? Even if it’s unlikely, newer players probably shouldn’t see Port Minstral or Poseidon’s Temple.

this would be so cool and id love to see the different areas instead of dawn

I think it would be better if these play based on your progress on the story or which island you left out on for example

On the one hand, this would be kinda cool.

On the other hand, the main theme is excellent so should we really replace it?

It wouldn’t exactly be replaced, it’d still have a chance of appearing but i get what you’re saying.

It’s a niche detail to add, but I feel like a lot of people could appreciate something like that. Only thing I’d want to add is having more title screens unlock depending on the player’s progress instead of being random. The Dark Sea and Temple screens should obviously appear after the player reaches them in-game, and Dawn Island without rain seems like it could be something after finishing the main story.

I really like the idea of different title screens, but I think they should be selectable instead of random, though you could still set a random option if you wanted.

Why not have it cycle between the previous screens

Yes please I’m sick of the nimbus sea theme already from spending too much time in the magic selection menu
