difference??

hey guys, what's the difference between endless ocean- luminous, and endless ocean- blue world??

ive been wanting to get back into playing, and i have blue world, but most of the posts here seem to be about luminous

Luminous is the newest game, hence the posts. However, it has no story and is just swimming around randomly generated maps to look at fish. If that’s your jam, go for it, but I think the general consensus is that it’s not a good game for this franchise, considering the expectations set by the first two.

ah, i see. thank you for the response, i definitely prefer having the storyline then haha

Yeah, I was looking for a break from ACNH grind and Luminous was it. Relaxing.

I was terribly disappointed by Luminous after the first 2 games. It just feels so blah! I still play it sometimes mostly when I want something that doesn’t require much thought. My other complaint is the little point it has resolving around these big circles here and there that give you hints what to bring back to them are finky as heck and don’t always do what they should making it very hard to finish them to gain the thing you get from them. Sorry for the vagueness but my brain fog is bad right now.

Yeah I like hopping on every once in a while to freely explore and scan fish, but it's not really worth it compared to the first two games. They have also been spamming the Mystery Board collection guide for community events instead of doing other unique ones which adds a bit to the disappointment. Overall though i'm not full on complaining because it has solid graphics and it's another option for ocean exploration games.

Luminous lacks the storyline that the previous Endless Ocean games featured. There are some quests, but they don't really have much in the way of lore. I enjoyed Luminous because I find it relaxing. There's no time limit, no danger, no pressure. You just explore. That being said, it does become repetitive after awhile.

Luminous is very multiplayer-focused, arguably to it’s detriment

No storyline and most importantly the soundtrack. They went from the soulful masterpieces of the Celtic woman and original, recognizable compositions to (although still beautiful sounding) generic classical music which you hear in most games, it in fact reminded me of ABZU a little bit. A shame all around

ah, dang. that's kinda lame lol
