[quote="zitagirl"]So I finally got to actually play the expansion for Dreamlight Valley, least as it is for now, we still have to acts that come later this year. So I was a bit incorrect and it's not a recreated Agrabah as I was hoping for. The island that we explore is basically separated into 3 biomes: an ancient ruin biome based on Atlantis (Atlantean structurew and technology was already present on Dreamlight Valley, so this is just further expand on it), the desert biome which is supposed to be the present, and the jungle biome that was created by Jafar trying to manipulate time. It's also the part where the Palace is decaying in a sense. The story here is basically helping Jafar restoring the Hourglass Spectre to its full power and at the end of the desert where you can actually reach the Palace, he was about to take it away so he can finally destroy Aladdin (oh yeah, both Aladdin and Genie does get mentioned by him, so I hope they will eventually come as well, but I'm not sure. They were not listed on the roadmap for 2024) and rule time and space, but the new friends from the island stop him and he retreats back to the Palace. This is where Act 1 ends. So let me just say that the island and the biomes in them are huge! They are basically double the size of any of the biomes on the main island which can be both good and bad. Good because there's a lot to explore and for people that love decorate, it will be a good playground. A bit bad because... it's quite grindy to unlock everything. Granted, I did unlock the desert biome fully, since that's where the story was mostly set, but I still have a lot to grind to really able to do what I planned. I plan on to unlock the jungle once I upgraded my tools to really able to remove everything that blocks parts of these biomes. I have 1 big highlight though: At one point, you need to find the golden scarab parts to unlock Jafar's vault which is.... the freaking Cave of Wonders. And you can actually explore it and there I say, it's a very nice recreation with a bit of alteration from Jafar (basically there's some light-base puzzles) and my god, at the last chamber I was totally immersed as I walked up to get the last time stone piece. Only thing that it would have made this part better, if I have met Carpet and instead of the stone it would have been Genie's lamp and summon him. You also meet 3 new characters in this island: EVE who guards the new royal tool in the Atlantean biome, Rapunzel in the jungle biome and Gaston in the desert biome. Overall I liked them, though here comes 1 big negative for me: You spend a good chunk of act 1 with Gaston and well... he's simply just annoying. Yes they explain he's like that because he spent so much time alone in the desert (and likewise he's not treated as a villain actually, which was surprising) but he still was just very annoying to the point where I just started skip his dialogues. One thing I did appreciate is that you actually have your house in the island by default and with a bit of ingame money you can unlock Scrooge's shop and Remi's restaurant, along with every character able to come here and even able to put their houses here, so if I really want I can make this my main island. Overall nice experience and fingers crossed that the remaining 2 acts will add more Aladdin characters. Oh yeah, one littler disappointment that there's barely any new stuff based on Aladdin. I hope that gets changed and they will add more.[/quote]

Ah okay, so they pull from Gods and legends. I don't know if I'd put Aladdin in either of those categories? He's not a legend in the Arthurian sense and definitely not a God like the Greek or the Egyptian ones. Maybe a myth? (I think he and Mulan are closer to 'folktales' but whatever).
Although, I'm assuming that opens up the entire Arabian Nights book to the game, which includes all kinds of cool middle eastern mythology to pull from. I think they just want to use the genies tbh
Yeah, seems more like a Mulan situation, but least for her we had the Chinese pantheon to fit in.
Yeah, this definitely opens up for more folklore stuff from around the world, which would be cool.

Yet in all those years they only did like 2 genie skins and there's only 1 Aladdin reference in the whole game. Think it was for a cosmic skin and it goes like "Infinite cosmic powers, itty-bitty texture space"
I just hope the genie(s) won't just be a Genie copy. Wouldn't feel right in my opinion.
Meanwhile the Dreamlight Valley community is also like "nah, it can't be Oswald or Figment, the lucky villager will definitely be either Genie or Aladdin" and while I heavily doubt this, it does make my fan side hope it would be this way.
Still need to wait 1 more week for that update but man, it's killing me now XD

Here's a trailer for it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1PHxmPq5o4&ab_channel=SMITEbyTitanForgeGames
Just to see what's really is in short
Now the first game has 130 playable characters, with Nut (Egypitan god of the sky) being the last addition, with everything else being put in Smite 2 over the years (including all the old gods from the first game) and so far both from official and dataming it got confirmed that the upcoming 3 characters for Smite 2 will be Hecate, Mordred and now Aladdin.
Now the reason I was shocked about Aladdin is that... the closest we had such release was... probably Chtulhu and the Arthurian pantheon in a sense, that they aren't exactly mythologies (Lovecraftian being very new) but also quite old tales too. People also compared this to Mulan's release too, since she also has similar origin.
And well... I didn't really expect to play Smite 2 in alpha yet, given the only gods I reguarly play from the current roaster of Smite 2 is Anubis and Kukulkan (sue me, I'm a filthy mage main
) so when my friends pinged about this, my interest spiked to say the least.
Not much known atm as the alpha only starts in May, but will see where they lean with him into. Most thinks he will be closer to the Disney version because that1s what most people are similar with, but I hope they will add their own spin on it instead. I also don't know if he's going to be add an already existing pantheon, or they will create a new one, since he doesn't exactly belong to any of the current ones (my best bet was Babylonian actually, just because how in the Smite lore they are).
Anyway, here's the current list of gods just to see how they do these in terms of design. I think they do an overall good job with them so I do expect them to not disappoint with this one either. Rip my dream of Gilgamesh getting an Aladdin skin though haha.

So uhm... my friends just told me that we are getting Aladdin in Smite 2 (sequel to the original moba Smite) and I was like wtf.
Will be interesting where they will lean to him with him. I kinda hope both the genie of the ring and the genie of the lamp will be utilised for him.

I got a little emotional when he said something like "I was afraid for my career, and then the first song I wrote with (not Howard) was 'A Whole New World.'"

I wish we could do a Q&A with the series writers to ask. I think we only have Tad Stones as far as series creators left since Alan Zaslove died in 2019.
They're so annoying I love them

*heart reaccs to all the above*
I love that one page sample haha. I looked it up on ebay and one line just says "Iago rants." Are they just writing into the script that Gibert has to improvise?
Also saw "Aladdin immediately puts his arms around Jasmine and thought of your every-opportunity-to-touch

This page from "The Hunted" that someone is selling made me realize somewhere out there, scattered over 86 scripts, are a list of all of Genies transformations/references in the series that we'll never fully have
I also wish an official script for a Mechanicles episode would pop up so we can see what spelling Disney picked. I've seen "Mekanicles" on merchandise but who knows?
