Chromatic Terras

“What else could I be here for?” Talos replies, pulling out the bottle he had bought earlier at the store. “I can’t pass up an opportunity to kick back with you for once.”   “Estus Ale??” Ronis blurts out. “I’d be in a surprised you noticed that’s one of my favorites if I wasn’t already questioning how you managed to pick it up in the first place. You only joined with the military 2 years ago right?”   “They gave me a special pass, just this once, considering I’m gonna be part of the expedition team. So wadda ya say, wanna bore me about the stars one last time?”   “Ha, that’s assuming you don’t pass out trying to keep up with me. I may have some age on me, but my skills haven’t dulled out yet.” Ronis taunts, getting up from the chair and grabbing the bottle as he walks towards outside before stopping.   “Talos.....you didn’t keep this cool at all today did you?” he asks calmly, causing Talos to tense up in his seat.   “Well.....you took too long to get back to me I forgot.” Talos complains back. Ronis can only help but sigh before turning around.   “Go set up the chairs. Luckily I have a spare down in the cellar. I’ll just place this one down for another time.” he groans. Talos abides by his request and grabs two reclined chairs and carries them outside. Within a few moments Ronis meets up with him, a new Ale and two mugs in hand. They begin their night of relaxation as Talos goes on about the two years he spent in the military before coming back as the stars slowly moved across the sky.   “My, it seems you’ve already had quite the shift in experience being out in the desert for so long.” Ronis laughs, taking a large gulp from his mug and pouring some more ale to refill it.   “Oh my god, you wouldn’t believe. The difference between hot and cold out there really gets to you. It’s like two completely different environments out there, but the same lack of water!” Talos brags.   “Hmph, give a kid half a bottle and he forgets you spent 25 years in the military.” Ronis snorts.   “Yea but you haven’t been out there in just as much time also!” Talos retaliates. “Things change.”   “Yeah, in your favor. With all the new spells and experiments the magic council has been implementing, your training’s a walk in the park compared to what I had to do. We had to walk most of our way in and out of the desert grounds to train.”   “Whatever old man, you’re just losing touch with what’s new and now you’re salty.” Talos continues, overfilling his mug with more ale. Ronis stares at him as he takes a large gulp and gulp and places his mug back on the stand.   “Speaking of which I suppose, what made you decide to come back here again anyway?” Ronis questions, as he slowly pours most of Talos’s drink into his own mug while he looks away.   “Well where else was I supposed to go? Sitting in the barracks all day would’ve been boring and I needed to come back around town for the King’s speech tomorrow anyway.” Talos responds, placing his hands behind his head and looking up to the stars.   “You didn’t make any friends during your time out there to spend the day with them?”   “I joined up just as the latest expedition got back from their journey. Many people were hesitant of me and my decision to want to join the next one, so it was mostly kept to acquaintances and association through similar careers. People would praise me for my determination, yet they never really seemed eager to want to know me outside of training.”   “Not even the others who wished to go also?”   “There weren’t many others to begin with. The only ones in my unit are all veterans at this point and probably weren't in the mood to befriend some newbie. Apparently the numbers for this group are the lowest it’s ever been, and that’s not the only rumor flying around right now.”   Ronis thinks for a bit, finishing the last of the ale before laying back down. “Sounds like you just kept to yourself again as usual. That’s all you seemed to ever really do growing up here also.” he replies with slight disappointment.   “What was the point? No matter who it was, people would always get adopted in time. Most of the adults would switch out of jobs to try other things. You’re the only one I could rely on being there indefinitely.”   “It didn’t have to be that way for you. Many couples and families had an interest in you, but you consistently refused to listen or properly meet with them that they decided otherwise.”   “Good for them. It’s not like it was a guarantee that things would have been better anyway.” Talos quickly replies back, leaving Ronis in a long pause.   “Is that truly how you feel about things? Avoiding confrontation with change isn’t always the best solution.”   “My mind has always been set on going on an expedition to begin with. The real change would be me leaving once I was old enough anyway. If anything, I did them a favor by not disappointing them in the event I don’t come back.”   “So then what makes you think I’d feel any different, having raised you from when you were but a young child?” Ronis pushes on. Talos turns over to look at him, slightly falling out his chair from over drinking but manages to catch himself and tries to play it off.   “Why wouldn’t I? The amount of people you see come and go from this place, no matter how close you may get to them. It shouldn’t be any kind of issue right?”   “Seeing a child or coworker off in the hopes of gaining a better life is much different than having them risk their life in combat for our nation. The demons of our land are not something to take lightly.”   Talos looks over again, once more nearly falling off the side of his chair. Ronis leans down to grab a pouch of water and offers it to him. There is a long pause as Talos looks at the pouch.   “Don’t make me have to slap the shit out of you.” Ronis says bluntly. Talos accepts the pouch.   “You never talked to me about your time in the military.” Talos began, wiping his mouth from water. “The things you saw out there. What these expeditions are really like. You always just brushed it off, saying it wasn’t something I should be concerned about.”   “Because you were young and I didn’t want it to be something you needed to be concerned about--but seeing as you’re almost on your way now, I suppose there’s no point in hiding anything anymore.” Ronis speaks, sitting up from his chair. Talos glances over to him, beginning to sit straight up as well.

Far off from the Kingdom and its populus, across the great plains and into the desert edge, the Euphorian military trains its soldiers. For those who have volunteered for the upcoming expedition, their day was rather light in preparation for the journey ahead. A young man, dark skinned in complection compared to most of the others, washes his head from sweat after an early morning spar with his peers.   “Let’s go Talos! I’m sure you’ve got things to do today just like the rest of us!” a training instructor calls out to him.   “Moving sir!” Talos responds, wiping his face and jogging back into formation with the others.   “Well boys, that was quite the exhibition you gave today,” the instructor begins, “For most of you, enjoy this early day off before returning in a few days. For the rest of you, who have chosen to take part in the 154th expedition, take this time to have one final day with your family, your friends, and loved ones. I know there are some who have experienced this all before, but for most of you this will be a new, life changing experience. I only wish you the best of luck in your endeavours, and to come back safely to all of us once it’s over. May my blessings ease your curse.”   “And may the curse be lifted from us all!” the group responds before being dismissed. Talos quickly rushes back to the barracks to grab his belongings before heading out. Many who see him wish him luck as he passes by, making his way to the mana rails. He steps onto a large rectangular train like vehicle, amongst others waiting to head home as the conductor takes a large light blue crystal from his pocket and locks it into a gear. A large metallic panel motions up from underneath to protect people from falling out as the train slowly begins to move, slowly picking up speed before rocketing off effortlessly back towards the kingdom. Within no more than an hour, the group reaches the massive town that rests before the castle walls, overflowing with life and prosperity. Talos departs from the train with his bag and starts making his way inward, passing by many shops and markets. On his way he makes a quick stop by the liquor store, purchasing a large bottle and placing it in his bag before continuing on into the residential area. Many soldiers were pacing around him, all rushing to get home as they each reached their destination to see their parents, spouses, and even children. Talos continued to move on, rushing by every home before finally reaching a gate that had a dirt path leading into a small estate. He throws his bag over the gate as and jumps up, vaulting himself over the walls. He  squats low into his decent to grab his bag again as he then begins to walk calmly towards the house as many children were in the yard playing. Some looked up from their games to give him a wave, to which he responded with much excitement. Upon entering the home, a young boy runs up to him.   “Big brother! You’re back again!” the boy yells out in joy. Talos bends down to pick him up and rests him on his shoulder.   “I am, but only for the day this time. Do you know where Ronis is right now?” Talos asks with a smile on his face. The boy nods and points outward, leading Talos through the open halls of the house. All around were many children playing and cleaning, with a couple of adults alongside them for supervision. Talos makes his way towards the back of the Estate, going out into the back yard as he looks out to see an older gentleman sitting in a chair beneath the shade of a great oak, reading a book to a circle of children.   “Long time no see old man.”  Talos says walking up, as he places the child down from his shoulder, who runs over and sits with the group.   “Ah, you’ve come back once again. I keep telling you not to return unless you wanted to take up a job here.” Ronis chuckles. He places a tab in his book before closing it, getting up from his seat to give Talos a handshaking hug.   “I know, but today’s different. I’m sure you know what tomorrow is right?” Talos asks. Ronis gives a small nod of understanding before looking back to the children.   “Allow me to finish this story to the children. In the meantime, make yourself at home, get a decent wash and some food. I’ll be with you shortly.”   “What and borrow some of your out of style rags again? I’d be better off washing with the stuff I have on now.” Talos jokes, causing Ronis to quickly swing his hand up, backhanding him in the temple. Talos attempts to dodge but still gets scrapped a bit.   “You’ve definitely improved, yet you still aren’t fast enough.” Ronis grins. “My home, my rules, now go and get yourself freshened up,” he orders before walking back to his chair. Talos rubs his head, giving back a grin of his own before walking back into the house. He quickly does as he was ordered and takes a much needed wash, then spends most of his time relaxing around, helping out with the daily needs around the estate. Within no time at all, it quickly became late evening. Talos relaxes back into the couch as most of the children go off into their upstairs rooms to rest, while many of the adults leave to go home. Ronis walks into the living room and sits in a chair across from Talos.   “That was quite a long story you read to them, huh?” Talos teases, giving out a slight yawn.   “Well once they catch an interest, it’s quite difficult to put a book down, wouldn’t you agree?” Ronis replies.   “Can’t say I can. Reading was never really something I enjoyed doing, unless it had some pictures to go with it.”   “Hymph, naive as ever still. Lack of pictures can lead to the greatest images of all: your imagination.”   “You never rest from an opportunity to spout some teacher nonsense, huh?” Talos complains, picking up his bag from his feet and placing it on the table.   “You never take the time to process any of it to keep me from having to do so.” Ronis retorts. “In any case, what brings you here on your final day before embarking outward?”

Storm, BBAA Storm nodded and followed after Wave. As she jumped off the side of the airship with her extreme gear, he took some time to place the bag down before setting his up. However, the booming voice from above caused him to stop midway and look up in confusion. Moments later, the gigantic beam came bursting through the roof of the hanger, knocking Storm off his feet and he began to slide towards the edge of the ship. The bag of equipment went sliding off beside him. Storm could only watch in panic before quickly snapping back and looking up to see his extreme gear falling towards him. He quickly reaches out to grab and and holds it close to him as he continued to hold onto the edge of the airship, as it slowly began to fall apart from the attack. Gamma & Knuckles, Angel Island Knuckles slowly circles around Gamma, who simply stands still and rotates it's head surveying him.He was unsure how exactly to approach such a foe, as he had no memory of ever fighting before. Suddenly the ground begins to shake, staggering Knuckles to a knee. He turns out to the ocean and sees a massive ray of light piercing through the clouds as it then travels deep into the ocean within a matter of seconds. The sight had left him stunned for a moment, giving Gamma an opportunity to strike and delivering a merciless haymaker to Knuckles jaw that throws him to the ground. "Side objective met. Moving to primary mission." Gamma states before beginning it's climb up the shrine stairs.  

Thank you gentlemen. Ive been away at military training since the 1st, which is why I havent been on at all, but I'll be back Friday to jump back into things.

Storm, Battle Bird Armada Airship Storm could only nod as he followed after Wave. The bag of equipment slowed him down to ensure he didn't drop any of it. Unfortunately it also caused him to be too far from helping Wave get knocked over. As soon as he saw the two strangers shove her, he quickly dropped the bag and ran over to help her up. "Hey! Watch where you two are going," he yells angrily, but without any fighting spirit.   Gamma & Knuckles, Angel Island Knuckles completes his journey down the altar stairs and now stood face to face with Gamma, barely even half his height. Still, Knuckles did not waver and he continued to question the intruder.  "Why are you here," he asks once more. "Information denied," Gamma replies bluntly. "What business do you have with the Master Emerald?" "Information denied." "..........What business do you have with me?" "Information...unknown," Gamma answers slowly. Again the two continue to stare at one another before Knuckles lets out a deep sigh and turns around. "Well, and no one is allowed near the Mater Emerald without my permission, so whenever you're willing to talk just call me back...or leave, I don't care which." "Unacceptable parameters," Gamma replies once more. Knuckles turns back to him with a slight twitch in his eye. "Excuse me?" he asks, trying to hold back his frustration. "Data suggested floating area known as Angel Island was only inhabited by small unintelligent creatures. You show signs of intellect, however your body composition is not completely organic and shows a connection to the Master Emerald above. Inquiry: What is your purpose?" Knuckles can only stare in confusion by Gammas request, unsure of anything he just asked of him. Finally he scratches his head and steps back down from the stairs. "How about I'll tell you who I am if you tell me why you're here," he proposes. Gamma looks up to the Master Emerald and then back to Knuckles. "I am under direct orders to retrieve the Master Emerald," he responds. "By who?" "Information withheld. The deal was to state my purpose for answers about your being." Knuckles clenches his fists tightly as he gets even more frustrated with Gammas conversation, but again calms himself for a deal was a deal. "My name is Knuckles. I am the protector of the Master Emerald, so if you have any plans on taking it then I'm afraid you're going to have to get past me first." "Acceptable parameters met" Gamma replies as he begins to walk forward, however Knuckles gets in his way to push him back. "T-this isn't w-what I meant," Knuckles struggles before finally building up enough strength to repel Gamma. "By getting past me! I'm not going to let you take the Master Emerald."  Gamma pauses for a moment before speaking into his communicator.  "Contact Log Update: Life-form known as Knuckles denies capability of completing mission objectives. Proceeding into combat mode." he inputs before raising his arms up. "Bring it on, Metalhead." Knuckles responds back, raising his fists.   Vector, Casino Night Zone Vector continued to admire his work, however was soon distracted by the commotion outside. With more and more people learning about the strange meteor that struck into the area last night, the whole city was in a mixed frenzy. He lets out a small annoyed growl and he closes his blinds, darkening the room. "The Chief doesn't want me involved anymore with it anyway. Might as well catch a quick nap before giving him my information on Rouge." he says to himself as he walks back over to his desk and puts his head down. Within seconds, he was already deep asleep once more.

Storm, Battle Bird Armada Airship Storm watches Wave work, always fascinated by her capabilities with tech. However, he noticed her eyes grow wide as she looked out the window. Storm turned over as well to see the massive ship floating just outside. "Uh, right. I'll follow you." Storm replies as he quickly grabs a large sack and starts sliding everything off the table into it. Gamma, Angel Island It had been a couple hours now that Gamma was traversing through the forests of the floating Island. It periodically checked his communication devices to see if any of its mission updates went through, however they all continued to give error messages. It stops briefly and looks back to the capture pod it decided to carry with it. It had seemed to cool down, but still had not shown any signs of activating either. "Hourly log 6- Examination: The heat and sudden impact due to the high altitude orbit of unknown floating island has caused temporary disruption with objective programming....past areas has shown signs of old civilizations, however no residents remained. Saving data for upload upon return to main station. Robotimization pods have been properly distributed in surrounding area in preparation for activation and collection. Proceeding to prioritize Chaos energy readings now." Gamma lets the pod go, transforms into roller mode, and speeds off through the jungle area. As it departs, the pod begins to slowly beep. Vector, Casino Night Zone Vector lifts his head up from his table, a trail of drool running down his desk. It didn't take long for him to make it back to his office from the hospital, however he was still feeling the fatigue from running around all night that he had fallen asleep mid-investigation. He gets up and walks over to his automated coffee machine and sets up a tall glass for himself. After it finishes, he then walks over to the window and looks out into the city streets. Multiple tvs were playing, all different news channels about the strange object that had crashed into the city. He moves from the window to look at a wall with a map of the city on it. Multiple circles and lines were drawn all over, with batwings and hearts in each one. He then grabs a marker and draws another, then connecting it to one across town. He then backs up to get a better look at it all as he continues to sip his coffee. "Looks like I'm finally closing in on her trail. No doubt about it." he says to himself with a tired smile. Knuckles, Angel Island Knuckles continued to sit upon the shrine staircase as he gazed out into the forest. The commotion from the night prior had seemed to be of no concern, allowing him to sleep till dawn, however he couldn't shake the feeling of something happening. His attention was then diverted from the low sound of rotors and wind breaking in the distance. He looked out beyond the cliff-side of the island in search of where the sound was coming from before hearing another from the direction of the forest. He quickly swivels his head back to see a large red robot crouching before the stairs of the shrine. He quickly gets up from the stairs and starts walking down. The robot lets out some steam as it changes back to its standing form. "Who are you, and what business do you have here?" Knuckles asks as he makes his way down the stairs. The robot simply stares at him, before letting out some steam and transforming back to a full stance. Knuckles makes his way to the bottom of the stairs as the two simply stare at each other the entire time. "WHO ARE YOU, and what business do you have here?" Knuckles asks again more sternly. The robot continues to stare as it brings its wrist to it's face. "Emergency Log- Contact: An unidentifiable life form is standing in the way of the chaos readings. Proceeding to engage." Gamma saves in its reports as it continues to look at Knuckles, scanning him.

Got Monster Hunter World in the mail today. It's scaring me to death but I love it

Knuckles, Angel Island, 0005 MST Woken up by the rumble of the ground, Knuckles looks around to see multiple bright lights descending from the sky and onto the floating island. He watches for a moment as others pass by, diving through the clouds onto the world below. He takes a few steps forward on the altar, ready to walk down the stairs, before looking back at the large green gem before him. "The Master Emerald....." he says to himself, staring at it in wonder as it continues to rotate ever so smoothly atop the altar shrine. He decides to take a seat on the stairs. Resting his head on his knee as he dozes off again. Vector, Casino Night Zone, 0100 MST "GET BACK HERE YOU CRAZY BROAD!" Vector yells out, chasing through the vibrant streets after Rouge the Bat "Tsk, you're always such a persistent one! Here I thought detectives are supposed to let the police do the dirty work." Rouge sighs back, flying through the air with a bag full of gems and money she had stolen from the park. Vector uses a nearby spring board to leap up into the air, grabbing hold of the bag and dragging it, along with Rouge, to the ground. "This is the last time i'm letting you get away from me, or the authorities! I'm taking you in right now!" Vector orders, pulling the bag away from Rouge ready to fight. "Oh really? Allow me to teach you to stay in your office twiddling you thumbs like a so called "detective" should be then." Rouge retorts back, getting ready to leap at Vector, however the two get sidetracked from a bright light above as they see a massive metal object hurling straight for them. Vector quickly snaps back to his sense, sprinting over and pushing Rouge and himself to safety as the object comes crashing down onto the street. He looks back in astonishment at the small crater it left, as dozens of others can be seen from the sky like shooting stars across the world. "My gems...." Rouge whimpers, before kicking Vector in the chest and getting up. "You best make sure to pay me back for this one, you stupid croc." she spits before running off into the night. Vector can only watch in pain as she disappears just in time before the authorities catch up to the action. He then rolls onto his back and passes out. Storm, Battle Bird Armada Airship above the Central Sea, 0635 hours MST Storm walks quietly down the halls of the airship as the other birds all look at him in awe. He was one of the largest bird on the fleet in recent years, and many of the high command expected much from him, however he had never really gained the urge to fight and steal like the others. He simply played off the role as a brute before finally making way to his destination and heading inside the room. "Umm Wave, sorry I'm late." he whispers, closing the door behind him. "It took a little time getting to everything, but I think I managed to get all the parts on your paper that seemed like they were missing." Storm pulls a pouch from his belt, slowly letting the bolts and pieces slide onto the work bench, some of which weren't compatible with the gear. "Umm, hopefully this is everything. I never really got too much time to learn about the extreme gear." he mutters, hoping to help out. Vector, Casino Night Zone, 0655 MST Vector slowly opens his eyes again, his vision coming into focus as he discovers to be lying in a hospital room. He quickly sits up, looking outside to the city before him to see that day had already came. He slides out of bed, removing his IV and begins to walk towards the elevator. One of the nurses sees him and calls out, however he ignores her and continues moving. As he gets onto an elevator, an old Rabbit walks in with him. "Well well well, if it isn't Chief Hoppington. What brings you here?" Vector asks, pressing the button for the ground floor. "Well I was here looking after you of course. It took 5 of my guys just to get you into the ambulance here after the commotion. I'd say I'm surprised to see you up again already if we weren't here on Tuesday." the chief replies, pulling out a notebook. "Well you know me, always looking to do the best of my job." Vector chuckles. "So whats the situation with that strange object that fell from the sky?" "Not sure yet. There's multiple of them all over the zone and the haven't moved or cooled down enough for us to get close yet. Right now they're all marked off and kept under watch. Any damages are being repair in the meantime." "Hmm, interesting indeed. Rouge the Bat seemed just as surprised as I was, so it doesn't seem like she got any outside help in her recent heists. I'm gonna see if I can grab a sample and head back to the office."  Vector ponders as the doors open up and he begins to walk out the hospital lobby. "It may be best if you stay there once you get back." the Chief replies, causing Vector to turn back confused. "Vector, as absurd as some of your cases have been, you've done a great job as a detective for me these past couple years. However, between Rouge's appearance and all these new criminals running around, you just aren't qualified to be jumping into my police work on a moments notice. This is the second time this week you've been found completely unconscious after chasing Rouge around all night after a robbery. I understand you have that natural strength and speed, but without the proper stamina and training you're only causing more harm to yourself and our work. Please just stick to what you were hired for. I don't think I'll be able to save your job from the commander if this happens again." he explains, ripping a piece of paper from his notebook and handing it to Vector. "This is the bill for your visit. I covered you the first time, and even that almost got my ears chewed off." Vector takes the bill, looking at it for a moment in disappointment before placing it in his armband. "Thanks Chief....I'll do my best." he replies before leaving the hospital. Gamma, Angel Island, 0800 MST Among the many pods that had landed on the floating Island, a larger red boxed craft had descended down in the center of them. With the travel being shorter for the floating island, and after some time of cooling off, a door finally breaks open as a large metallic being steps out. It's body lets off a little steam as its eyes turn on bright green and begins surveying the area. It then pulls its arm to its head. "Master Robotnik, this is squad leader E-102 Y Gamma reporting in. Surveillance probes show no signs of life, other than small creatures. Energy readings from the power  source are showing a northern travel. Proceeding to execute mission now."

i just got it now after work, and now I gotta go vote on county judges and stuff, so I set it up to install and get to it later. Also Horizon: Zero Dawn dlc came out, so I gotta play that too. Already maxed out the game in terms of levels and achievements. Really enjoy and recommend it.

Obi-wan Shinomi....chwan'

Why thank you, but let's not forget the true holiday here, Piccolo Day

Just regular, I saved a character near end game to do it so I was around SL100. Still needed it though with the amount of nonsense you go through just to get to the fnal boss. So many mob attacks it was crazy.

I had a dream they made a chao mmorpg where you could become a chao yourself and train and do chao stuff and compete in tons of mini games. Pretty much like garrys mod, but all chaos and it was the greatest thing for years, then I woke up and cried to reality

Thank you. That explained enough for me to know my past joy in the comic is fully dead and long gone, but now I know how and why exactly lol.

I beat the dlc the same night it came out and now I'm sad from how short it was

I have a question on if anyone knows exactly what the lawsuit was that made them do their initial story change. I really liked the story that was going on of the Freedom Fighters being split up, Knuckles having to save his people, and Metal Sonic being remade into this overpowerful being that ripped shard to pieces, and I understand they gotta just pretend it never happen but.....they kinda didn't do that with the whole grabbing Nicole and having their memories regained, and now although its following the game contents, the story just feels really childish now. Like it has the seriousness of the overall issue but the way everything's done is too light-hearted for me so I just haven't been keeping up like I used to. But back to the original question. I agree they probably don't have to worry about content with all the games they haven't gone through yet, and they can definitely do some filler like stuff in the meantime if by some chance they do run out so I doubt they have any problems with making comics, it's just keeping fans they have to worry about.

Project Sonic looks like a Sonic generations 2 in all honestly. The are kind of looked like a mixture of city escape and rooftop run. Sonic Mania looked like it was gonna have the first area be Green Hill Zone and then the rest of the game is (hopefully) completely new stages, but the gameplay is the same as original 2D Sonic but with better handling and some new moves. Overall I can agree that there isn't much information yet to just assume these games will be any good. For me on a personal opinion level, I'm not entirely fond of 2D Sonic. I grew up on Adventures 1 & 2 as well as 3D Blast so all my favorites have been the 3D ones. Aside from Unleashed (I'd give that an 8), I feel like everything after 06' has been above average ratings (like 7/10). Good games for Sega to have made, but definitely isn't the best that they've done. It's kind of like Sonics in this odd trap where the franchise can either continue to make decently good games every year or 2, or take the time to devote a team for creating a majorly large game so that each character has an actual interesting story to them along with unique stages for each rather than it feeling like the main story is about Sonic, and then every elses story is like a remodeled stage from Sonics with slight changes to make it "special". SA1 almost did this since each player had like 8 stages each, aside from Gamma I think (may that glorious robot rest in peace), however like I said, those stages were almost literally just remade from Sonics levels. SA2 actually had some diversity, but it was only 2 stories for you to follow and every playable character in story mode only had 3-4 stages so the overall storyline was kind of short. in comparison. If they took the time to do something like combine the 2 for a SA3, then that would probably be a really fun game, but like I said, when trying to think of all the possible things they could do for that, theres almost too much to put into consideration for a full on game. Like just as an example of ideas. Should Sonics stages only be time attacks? Does Knuckles have to always only search for a broken Master Emerald? Should Tails go back to Mechas or stay on foot or both? Should Eggman have his own story to playthrough? Shoudl the add Chaotix? Would the characters be separate or a trio like in Sonic Heroes? Always add Chao World Should Metal Sonic have a more important role other than a mini boss like in Sonic Heroes Could Chaos make a reappearance? Should we be rollin around at the speed of sound like 06 tried to do or are we slower than Silver like 06 did? Where da chilli dogs at? Item upgrades again? That's just a bunch of stuff off the top of my head. Of course the actual Sonic team probably has a ton more they could put into consideration but for now it just kinda seems like remaking old style games with newish style game-play and storylines to get some hope and fans again.
