REBOOT IN PVZ 3 LORE
Everyone can be sure that the “pink version” will be the winner of the poll, for simple reasons: this style is so beautiful and reminiscent of comics that it would be crazy not to wear it! without forgetting that currently those who have given the most feedback and support to the PvZ franchise are its long-time fans who are already young adults, something like the “Green” and “Purple” versions will not attract everyone's attention. With that in mind, the “Pink” concept brings me good thoughts with an emphasis on something more adventurous in the plot so that the direction of the story can go beyond the confines of Zumburbia, based on this, I had some ideas such as a reboot of the PvZ 3 story.
In PvZ 2 Crazy Dave and Dr. Zomboss made numerous trips to different times in history, leaving behind plants and zombies after leaving these worlds, which created several ramifications in space and time, thus creating new realities in which these two races have been part of these worlds since the past! one of them being from Garden Wafare.
- "What does all this have to do with PvZ 3?"
You see, this raises doubts as to whether “welcome to zomburbia” was really part of the original PvZ continuity line, as we could see that Dave's personality had a drastic change compared to that of PvZ 2 and there is nothing about what happened to Penny after these events, leading us to believe that it wasn't.
This is just the tip of the iceberg that emerges when you dig deeper, but don't get me wrong, I don't hate that the theme is about the city's surroundings, on the contrary! It's beautiful and brings a new air of adventure that the franchise needed to bring after PvZ Adventures and I want it to continue. But is it really necessary to involve this? In my opinion yes and no, because neighborville is cool, but it would open doors so you don't get stuck in a limited standard like the second one.
I know it won't be simple to bring together the two distinct themes into a single story, but I have the solution! In fact, the “pink” version may be the most interesting solution because the art style is reminiscent of the comics, and we know that all series have several editions with different story cores.
My ideas for putting this in the game are: the story mode would be represented as comic book editions, you only have the first edition and when you finish one, another new story would be acquired at the end of your efforts or even two, one of them being a parallel alternative to the one we saw! with around 25 to 30 levels because this is an easier tactic than stretching the story out over 500 levels.
This first edition could tell the story of Patricia and Nate at the Lost Keys Lake camp, where they were attacked by hordes of zombies and throughout the levels she tried to find out what was going on and find more plants in that environment like Lily Pad. As the story takes place without Dave, Patrícia only has common seeds at the beginning.
Depending on the team's choices, the consequences of PvZ 2 could be better addressed in the future, regardless of whether this world is part of the continuity or not, as it would not be impossible to bring the concept of parallel universes that would make it possible to meet the original Dave and Penny or even meet versions of characters like those from the Spinnoffs, making this a direct continuation even if elsewhere.
My reasons for writing these crazy things are with the intention of not letting such good things from the franchise be lost, just imagine seeing so many cool things with enormous potential being thrown away, isn't it sad? anyway, that's all. I hope it was useful! Goodbye!
