Forum:Playing DDD again and very confused...
So I picked up Dream Drop Distance again. I'm about half way through the game and there are some things that are confusing me. I know Sora is supposed to be asleep half the time and Riku is in his dreams but that raises many questions for me that neither the game nor other forum boards answer.
1. Are we in the "real" world while playing Sora or is Riku pulling an inception?
2. If Sora is in the real world and Riku is supposedly in Sora's dreams, why does Riku's actions seem to affect the real world? In La Cité des Cloches Riku fights the Wargoyle and ends up breaking its wings off. When Sora gets to the Cathedral the Wargoyle falls from the sky without its wings. How can Riku do this?
3. How is Sora accomplishing anything? I ask this because Sora just seems to be there and the characters he meets only show up briefly. While Riku this time around goes along with the plots of the films and ends up making an impression on the world. From what I've seen the Disney characters really only learn from Riku's interactions where if Sora was not in the game, things feel like they would play out like the actual film without much complication because the dream eaters don't really seem to be a threat to the movie characters in a lot of instances.
I'm really hoping there is an actual explanation for these things because I'm not a cynic and rather not just call the game's story dumb and leave it at that.
