I believe nimbus sea will also have some normal islands as it would be a bit dissapointing for the nimbus sea to have absolutely no town or kingdom at sea level.
I love me some sky islands but I also like dropping down to islands below them.
Basically I just hope the nimbus sea is more appealing to look at than the bronze sea.
More bonding with the MC crew like that campfire scene since the 3 got to know each other a little better.
More strong characters being introduced like Cursebeard in AA.
Very obscure and subtle Arcane Adventure references that noone would get unless your really deep down into AA lore outside of the public/common AA lore. (I myself won’t realize this anyway but it’d be cool lol.)
Gameplay wise:
More difficult bosses that have unique fights other than plain difficulty (Like getting to face 2 bosses at once with their strengths and weaknesses.)
Unique Islands, and more of those huge Islands with good atmosphere like Mount Othrys and maybe more Islands like Akursius Keep.
General replayability without having reliance of the Dark Sea and New Files.
(This is just what I want on the surface area I’d like more really but it’s too much words.)
imagine you could wear a “sky harness” and use it to attach yourself to a mortar on a skyship, allowing you to launch yourself toward sky islands at high speeds
I hope that by the time we get to the Nimbus sea, we have some legendary ships (like Trigno from AA) to fight that act as sort of super bosses/raid bosses
The current bronze sea kinda lacks that as all the bosses are relatively easy/doable solo
Really gonna have me sail over to Sailor’s real quick to double check? Aight be right back.
He despawns after Fort Talos, gotta find him on my other file which I won’t do for a while. All I can say is that Sameria is a separate kingdom, and this guy says that Nimbus Sea’s Kingdom of Sameria is the closest Kingdom to Sailor’s after Ravenna. This is then followed by Skyhall so you can interpret that as Skyhall being in Nimbus but then we’d have two kingdoms in one sea which could work but then it’d have to be our Orthyrs.
The end of the current story has us going towards the Kingdom of Sameria in order to prepare them for a potential invasion of Keraxe iirc.
So if that is the case then if we assume Skyhall is in the Nimbus Sea then Sameria is either also in that same sea or in the sea right after. I doubt this since the way he talks about Skyhall implies that is is the second closest to Ravenna.
As a side note, Ravenna is the most north of all of the War Seas.
