Psychosparrow Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 Seeing as mostly everyone here wants a sequel to Grim Fandango, what would the storyline be to a sequel of the game? Personally I wouldn't like a sequel to the game, but I'd like to see what you lot think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanspoof Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 I frankly haven't got a clue. I just think that the Ninth Underworld is being taken over by evil demonic creatures from Hell or something, when usually the Ninth Underworld is a cheerful, happy and pleasant place . The monsters have found a way to completely kill off a dead person FOR GOOD! By using a special power to blow them to smitereens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GendoTheGreat Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 I think maybe something like Manny and Meche getting to the gates of paradise (or whatever is beyond that last tunnel) and discovering that their tickets have been invalidated by someone, then having to go back and find out why. Naturally, it would have to be someone they pissed off, or a reletive of someone they had "killed". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxbx Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 I think it would be AWESOME if Manny and crew end up in a fanciful land full of blue-berry people. These blue-berry people will admit to not being dead, but will agree to hang out with Manny's rag-tag gang. Their adventures will be splendorous, indeed. They'll have to figure out who keeps combining their magical juices with bananas and strawberries in order to make... (prepare to cringe) ..... SMOOTHIES!!! Muharhar. Evil, my friends, evil in it's purest form. And get this, they'll solve that crazy riddle and be faced with a new and more disasterous connundrum: Who turned off the oven? I was cooking up a batch of cupcakes and some mother-comsummater turned of the oven!!! Of course, Manny will be pissed as hell. That will be his most oft quoted line in the game, "I'm totally pissed as hell!" And everyone will laugh, but they'll know he's serious. They'll say: "Manny, whoa, dude, chill!" He'll stop being pissed because he'll think that's sooo funny and say: "You used a comma after every word in that phrase you just uttered!! Seriously!" Then everyone will be like "whoa!" and laugh. Someone might mention that the events may be deemed "Classic." Then they'll pick up a dingus that they find on the ground, because they know it'll come in handy later. Â Â Dudes, I totally had to edit my post for the following reason: I misspelled splendorous. And then I felt the shame that comes with misspelling splendorous. So I changed it up above. Re-read my post with new-found clarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isis Kaldara Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Who cares? As long as they make the sequel with the original voices and a totally awesome storyline, while at the same time creating a new exciting plotline... Â I'll be sound as a pound, baby...

GendoTheGreat Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 I just hope they don't recycle all their old jokes, like they did in the 2nd one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isis Kaldara Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 I know...Wasn't that a drag? The first one was awesome, but the second one kinda resembled "Terrance and Phillip" as in it was nothing but trash-talk and toilet humor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gexx Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 I think the only real way that they could make another story is if the train derailed or if they got to the end of the Number Nine rail and found that their eternal rest has been corupted again and they have to solve it the eternal resting place.

Isis Kaldara Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 I think you're right. They closed off GF's original storyline pretty well. There are very few ways for them to continue it... However, if they really wanted to, they could make a sequel taking place again in El Marrow and whatnot, using a different person and background... I know it's awful to think of replacing Manny and the others, but it's an idea, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GendoTheGreat Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 I can't speak for anyone else, but it seems to me that a sequel is becoming less and less a good idea. I mean, it would be so easy to ruin it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isis Kaldara Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Actually, I'm beginning to agree with you. I just wish they'd make more. It's really such an awesome game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxbx Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Gendo: You mean if they don't follow my advice exactly and to the letter, right? Â I have a feeling someone's going to spread lies about me in the next post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GendoTheGreat Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Yes, also if they spell "advice" wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isis Kaldara Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 They could have more Glottis, you know, even if they do use a new character. Glottis stayed in the Land of the Dead, remember? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GendoTheGreat Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Yeah, but it just wouldn't be the same... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isis Kaldara Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 I know. I just really wish there was more to it. Now, it seems too short to really be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeddlingMonk Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 It would always be possible to reuse the world without touching the original story and characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isis Kaldara Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 *Nod* Â Too true, too true... Â Yes, I do think a sequel is possible using the world itself. The Land of the Dead... Â Noone could replace Manny though. Or Glottis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GendoTheGreat Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 True. The music and environments were a large part of what made the game so good. I'm sure we could adjust to new characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isis Kaldara Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 You're right, you know. And when you're right, you're right. I could live with it. At least they wouldn't have to change the voices! That's a plus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GendoTheGreat Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 What do you mean? The voices would change with the new characters. Or are you talking about something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isis Kaldara Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 Sorry. I should have been more specific. What I meant by changing the voices was for the original characters if they'd kept them. But since they are most likely not going to, new characters would have different voices instead of the original characters having different voices. I hate it when people make sequels to animated things and change the voices of the old characters... Totally ruins it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
