Inspirations
Vibes-wise, Empyria is meant to evoke a goofy JRPG - specifically, one of those mid-00s ones with unnecessarily elaborate lore where the mood swings wildly between serious and ridiculous. A variety of wizard media & metatextual bullshit also snuck in there along the way.
Some specific titles that left an impact on me & Empyria's development include:
- Namco's Tales of series, especially Abyss and Vesperia
- Final Fantasy, especially VII and IX
- Ryoko Kui's works, especially:
- Delicious in Dungeon
- The Dragon's School is on Top of the Mountain
- Witch Hat Atelier
- The Bartimaeus Trilogy
- Unsounded
