Ubisoft discusses Child of Eden's fairytale/JRPG influences
A portion of a GodisaGeek interview with Ubisoft's Patrick Plourde...
G: What fairytales influenced Child of Light, and which traditional JRPGs/ did it take cues from?
PP: I grew up on a lot of wonderful stories like His Dark Materials, the Chronicles of Narnia, stories by E. Nesbit. These wonderful stores that I would devour – I wanted to write something like that. It also harks back to The Longest Journey and Syberia. In this case it is about the daughter of a Duke, Aurora, in 1895 Austria who wakes up one day to find herself in this magical lost continent. She is struggling and finds that things are not what they seem, and she is going to have to do much more than defeat an Evil Queen to escape from there.
